OF J. II. Taylor & Co. 3 dry goods estafo-

known and popular felIow-citizen, Jas.

Clothing house, and will in the future
be found behind the counters of that
well stocked and popular establishment.
His friends, and their name is legion,
viii be gratified TO see him again in har-
ness. Both members of the firm are ex-
perienccd merchants in their line, of ex-

- A large and attentive congregation
assembled at the ii. E. Church South in
this place last Sunday morning, it being
the occasion of the second regular quar-
terly meeting in this year. Rev. John
Boring filed the pulpit ia the morning
and discoursed in his usual impressive
style, at the conclusion of which the
doors of the Church were opened. Three
persons availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity offered, after which the Lords
Supper was administered. The attend
ance upon the night services was even
larger than the forenoon, Rev Mr. Car
roll officiating. At the close an invita- \
ton was extended to mourners to come
forward and receive the prayers of the
Church, when several went forward.
The services viii be continued every
night this week, and from the serious
attention manifested the meeting bids
fair to end in a revival such as we have
not had in Morristown for several years.
