| We have suggestion to make to the
gentlemen appointed to conduct the
meetings during the Week of Prayer
Determine upon the laymen vol
desire to lead in prayer and notify then
of the fact in advance. There are but
few laymeu who can collect theil
thoughts and fix on the petition that
will suit the occasion and best express
the desires Of those whom they lead, in
the short time 1t takes to rise to their
feet or drop on their knees. The
prayer of the brother who is called upon
unawares is generally made up of
stereotype prayer phrases which come
handiest, very often praying members
Of the church (whether they do right is
not for us to say are deferred from going
to public services where they may be
called upon, without notice, to lead IN
prayer. 1t may be inconvenient at
times to act upon our suggestion, but
we see no reason why it may not be
adopted during the week of prayer.
At all prayer meetings, at least give
the laymen the benefit of such notice as
this; latter the singing Of the--lay-
men Mr., will please lead in
prayer.

After passing very pleas
ant day in company with friends and
relatives around the freside, and social
circle at home, l concluded after the
solicitation Of q kind and devoted wife,
together. with some friends to play the
gallant, By acting as we used TO do in
former days as their escort to Hawkins
town to witness Christmas Festival in
the shape Of a Christmas Tree, equally
as handsomely trimmed as any l have
ever seen, and l have seen quite a
number. The evenings Entertain
ment opened by music from the choir,
then prayer by the Rev. Stratton, fol-
lowed by music, then a very appropria-
ted and well timed address by Rev. S.
Then music after which the Rev. c..
/. Cameron delivered an address which
did honor to the occasion, after which
by sthe assistance of Capt.
Woods and Mr.. Noah Proctor, and
others that most beautiful tree was
diyested ofwhat it had been invested.
Good order was preserved all passed
pleasantly off, and no doubt while am
writing this, many a little heart is
leaping with JOY and qualification over
the reception Of their handsome gifts,
which speaks in thunder-tones Of
praise Of the past twelve months. And
we hope by another Christmas they
may be able to feel that they have done
their duty, and hear the welcome news
of"Weil done thou good and faithful
Servant" come forward and receive
your reward Of merit.

CHRISTMAS TREE.-The colored
Sunday School of this place had a
Christmas tree on last Monday night.
The tree was filed with presents and
presented.a beautiful appearance. SeY-
eral addresses were delivered by members
of the School. One by the teacher was
creditabie in some respects, but object
ionable, we are informed, in others. We
did not hear it, and therefore hesitate to
speak Of it in such terms as we would,
if we had been present. We care not
what the politics of teachers may be,
but when they undertake to discuss
political questions before their schools,
they certainly forfeit the respect of those
whose children are committed to their
care.

Probably the oldest
man in the county is Major. George
Grandstaff, and doubtless none mi the
county have been so uniformity held in
esteem through so many long years
both as public and private citizen as
he. Nor is it likely that you will fud
one who has seen the day when he
could say have seen my children of the
fourth generation.
He has had eight children, six of
whom are living these with their children
grand children and great Grand children
number one hundred and fifty seven.
There are quite number dead, among
whom are two Great, great, grand
children. AS his ninetieth Christmas
approached he conceived an idea Of
family reunion and with the interest and
zeal Of renewed South, perfected his
arrangements for reunion at the old
homestead on Christmas day. All were
invited but owing TO the distance that
most of them live from home, only
seventy one were gathered together.
The meeting was one Of peculiar
interest, and full Of pleasure, chief
among the smiling faces was that Of the
venerable Major Grandfather himself,
and none contributed more to the enjoy
men5 than he, joining heartily in the
Jokes, merriment sc.
The dinner was a success in all its
arrangements, and in its abundance, for
a proof Of it have only to refer you to
Capt. G. J. G. and Jno. NJ. L. who are
epicues Of the first water. The music
was under the efficient leadership Of
Major Dinges, ably supported by Mrs.
Julia Wightman and Mrs. Mccain,
they say there was music in the air"
but their efforts to dispense 1t came
near proving a failure from not being
accustomed to their instrument.
Altogether it was one Of the most en-
ioyable affairs your correspondent has
ever had the pleasure of attending, and
sincerely wishes to the principal in it
many occurrences Of the same. Iwould
also briefly note that the Christmas
entertainment OF the Methodist Sabbath
School was a complete success going
