| Nlob OLAuICn HGTt ldSb IOuIlQdy were 1ULG0QeQ
by full congregations. Rev. j. l.. Caldwell,
Romans, x 13 to Is. The sermon was
warmly commended. In the afternoon the
Sunday School held its anniversary, when
addresses were delivered by Rev. Mr.. Cald-
well, Herman Roe and Chas. Hill, ir. The
contributions amounted to $247. Miss
Alice Worden having contributed the
largest sum, $l7.00, was awarded the
premium, a handsomely-fra steel en-.
craving entitled "The Lords Prayer Illus.
trated." The total contributions for the
day amounted to $3.50; last year they
were 1868.
The REvIvAL.-The protracted meetings
OF this town closed last Friday evening,
after eight weeks duration. Although the
revival demonstrations were never very
marked, as compared with last year, still
there was always deep interest manifested,
and there was hardly a night or noonday
| service that was not attended by u full
house, and very many persons never missed
a meeting, of all the so or 90 that were
held in the time. 1t is seldom that such
large congregations follow for so long a
consecutive period, under such circum-
stances. The forcible, Jealous discourses of
the pastor were the actuating influence to
those not especially identified with the
work. For six weeks of the time a large
majority of the stores closed at 7 in the
evening. About 100 conversions resulted,
including about 40 children, who confessed
| conversion at the six o'clock chldren's
meetings held during the last two weeks of
the exercises. During the meetings last
year, the most fruitful ever held in the
town, over 300 conversions were recorded
in ten weeks; 232 of this number Joined on
probation, and about 90 joined other
churches. The next important in results
to this was the Gracey revival of '6S-225
conversions-and the Phnbus revival of
'74-l73 conversions.
REMOVALS AMONG THE FARMERs-There
is almost an upheaval among the farmers in
this neighborhOod, or will be tomorrow
moving day. So many changes among
them is a subject of remark, as it is almost
unprecedented. Heretofore many of the
removals have been caused by parties
quitting farming and coming to town; but
| this year the reverse of this causes a
number of changes-quitting town and
going to farming. Four or five young men
here are going to try it, while we know of
no farmers that are going to abandon their
occupation for town life Below we give q
list of the removals so far as we have been
able to get them. We have found con-
siderable difficulty in compiling this record,
but we think 1t tolerably correct:
