Religious.

Our churches were slimly attended
Sunday, on account of the bad wealth
er. .-. .--
After an able sermon by the Pre-
siding Elder, the sacrament of the
Lords Supper was administered at
the Methodist church last Sunday.
At the Methodist Quarterly Con-
ference, held here last Saturday, the
following gentlemen were appointed
delegates to the District Conference,
which meets in Mckenzie next sum.

FeiI Dead i'm Church.

Our community was shocked at the
sudden taking off of Richard McCar-
ley last Sunday night at the Baptist
church in this city. While sitting on
his seat listening to sermon by Rev.
]. p. Weaver, he suddenly gasped
and threw himself back. He was
caught by parties near him and eased
down on the pew, when he died i'll
about two minutes. DIR Jordan, who
was present, went to him Immediately
and rendered all the medical aid he
could; but it was of no avail. His
spirit had flown suddenly-awfully
sudden-to its Maker. The physi-
clan says it was an apoplectic attack.
Mr. McCarley had been to the Metho-
dist church in the forenoon, aud was
impressed with the closing remarks of
the sermon of Presiding Elder Witt,
who urged sinners to repentance, say
ing some OF them might never hear
another sermon. He, with Others of
his young friends, were talking about
the sermon afterward, and said they
wanted to live better lives. Let us
hope that he then determined to do
10, and had made the start. The pas
tor of the Baptist church was enforc-
ing the idea that Christ was Captain
of the host, and that all ought to join
that host. Mr. McCarley was paying
close attention, and the sermon was
about half through, when the dread
messenger came. Dick McCarley
was young man of pleasing manner,
sociable in his disposition, and gener-
ally liked. He was in the twenty
third year of his age, and was sales
man for r. j. Robertson at the time
of his death. His remains were taken
to Bolivar, his old home, for inter-
ment. A strange coincidence con-
nected with Mr. Robertson's store is
the fact that former partner Of his,
Mr. Joy, died suddenly in the store
about four years ago, on Sunday af-
ternoon, while several of his f.iends
were present.

Jordan Jamison. colored, drunk
and disorderly, and Rolly Neal, col
ored, for whipping his wife. were con.
fined in the lock-up Sunday to await
trial Monday morning. Sunday night,
with the help of some one outside,
they managed to break the lock ei
the outer door and draw the staple Of
the inner door, to which paddock
was attached, and then made their
escape. Jamison is said to be a very
bad negro.

Again we call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement OF Dan
iel f. Beatty, Esq, of Washington,
N. j., of his Pianos and Organs. The
reputation Of Mr. Beatty as manu-
facturer of instruments is very SUBJ
stantial; he takes great pains with
their construction, selection of mater
ial, and efficient and trustworthy en-
ployees, their various departments be-
ing arranged for service, and not fer
artificial purpose: They contain not
the slightest intrigue, but are sub
stantiaRy and perfectly arranged in
their various departments, he having
for his fundamental aim, Durability,
and perfect richness of tone. See his
advertisement in another column.

The College Grounds.

Professors Finney and Paschal, as
