MISSIONARY WORK.

The sum OF $4,000 was placed at his dis
posal by the last Council for the support of
eyangelistic services or evangelists, to aid
him in the survey Of the parishes Of the
diocese, and promoting religious services
in destitute places. In carrying out this re-
solution, he induced Rev. 7. G. Dashiell to
devote several weeks of last summer to
missionary labors. along the Chesapeake aud
Ohio railroad at points extending from
Huntington to Hinton. Rev. j. j. Norwood
was also appointed evangelist for the year.
He has been faithfully and acceptably labor
ing, chiefly in vacant parishes and st mis-
sionary points, and on the south side OF
James river from Bristol to Accomac, but
[ have not been able to find another minis
ter to do either temporary or permanent
service.
The Bishop recommends his reappoint-
ment.
GREAT NEEDS OF THE CHURCH.
A more honorable support Of the parochial
clergy and more liberal offerings to the
work OF missions continue to he the
great needs Of our Church. 1t will be
seen that an unusually large number of
ministers have left the diocese during the
past year, the 5ne cause, in the large major
ity OF cases, being the necessity which was
laid upon them Of providing maintenance
for themselves and their families. Acting
bythe advice OF the Executive Committee
OF our Diocesan Missionary Society,", I have
relinquished the aid which has for num-
Der OF years been SO generously extended
to us by the Domestic Committee OF the
Board of Missions. Large contributions
must, therefore, be made to our missionary
treasury, or the committee cannot continue
the work now going on, to say nothing OF
the impossibility OF sending forth .laborers
into the many new fields which are white
for the harvest.
The Bishop earnestly asks continued con-
fidenee and aid to the Evangelical Know
ledge, the Evangelical Educational, and the
American Church Missionary Societies. at
no time in the history OF the Church has
there been so great q necessity for their ex-
iistence and work as there is now.

Among other executions on Friday of last
week was the hanging of Gus johnson at
Rome, Georgia. What made his case more re
markable than those of the others was, that he
was probably the only white man ever hung
in Georgia for killing negro The negro
was Daniel Afford, about 81 years of age, who
was preparing to take "A flat boat across the
COosa, when johnson appeared on the opposite
bank and told him to hurry up and be damned
quick" The negro, not liking Johnson's tone,
told him he would come when he was ready.
johnson Immediately raised his gun and say
ing he would take sass from no damnigger,
shot Afford, Several persons were present and
saw the murder, and though johnson at the
time made his escape he was afterwards arrest
ed, tried, and sentenced to be hung, the eXecr-
ton taking place, as stated, last Friday.

COUNTY CONVENTION.

BY the above II will be seen that the Demo
cratic Central committee Of tins county, al
their meeting in this city yesterday decided tc
call a delegate convention to appoint delegates
10 the Springfield convention-the counter
proposition having been to call county mass
convention. As other matters of importance
Will probably be discussed, 1t is hoped the
democrats of the various towns will take pains
to send in full delegations The general feel.
ing at the meeting yesterday was that there
never was time when the democrats of this
county were more in need of thorough organi
cation Great changes in the last year have
taken place in the position Of the Democratic
party of the country. From an opposition
party il has become the party in power, i'm
posing upon ii new responsibilities as well as
new dignity and importance. We want II
good convention to face the changed situation
and to prepare for the future on the new basis.
