 EDITOR CITIZEN: The camp meet ing which has been going on near town for two weeks closed last night. It was well attended throughout. The 1 Rev. MT.

NIT. Hedge path on Sunday at eleven o'clock from the text, "I am the resurrection and the life, whOsOever believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" The discourse was able and eloquent and the audience was held in an attitude of deepest interest through out.
