Old Sol seems TO be in the per-
pchsliclllar from the way he sends
his rays down on our heads.
Shades and cold water are in
demand. However, our people
are hard to keep still; they must
and viii be on The stir. For The
last three weeks the people Of
Cold Water and vicinity have
been Ike the Wild winds Of
March, plunging hiiIlcr and
ihilher, seemingly intent on
something, but not knowing
what. Il was a wise provision
of providence in the organiza-
ton Of society, that the several
pastors Of several different de-
nominations could take adyan-
lagc of the circumstances and
apply the quoting counscIs of
the Gospel. Accordingly at
Prosperity Rev. j. 3. Muse of
The 4. r. L. Church commenced
series Of services in which he
was assisted by Reys. Alessrs.
Strong, Bryson and Sloan. This
meeting continued from Friday,
tho 18th TO Wednesday, the
oath, with several additions TO
the church. Then again in a
few days The Tennessee Presby-
tery d. II. p. met at Pleasant
Plains QlIc town Of preachers
and doctors of celebrity and
again had fine time. The col
ored brethren catching the inn
pulse Of the times, called up
their forces and now are in a
big blast. also, our Methodist
brethren are holding forth at the
present writing at Smiths Chap
el, under the superintendent
of Rev. Mr.. Lowry, and prom
Uses to be interesting. What a
great thing it is, Mr.. Editor, fer
community to have such in
fluences as these to be brought
TO bear on their several neigh
borhoods, and still for all that
you can scarcely go to one Of
these church gatherings but you
will find some young upstart
with.a bottle or two of whisky
in his pocket and a pistol, swing
ing around the outskirts, cutting
up. Such chaps should be ta-
ken in hand and severely dealt
with. AS far as Cold Waters
own people are concerned, there
are none Of them guilty of so
base and scandalous a crime.
The disturber generally come
from distance. But besides
these several agencies for the
outstanding of our country,
we have still another means of
help which is powerful lever
for good. We speak of the 2.
of III. Whilst every depart
ment Of our social system has
its special agency for the super
intendence of their several de-
partments, it falls to the lot of
the Grange to labor for that of
the agriculturist, and whilst all
the others have exhibited aspirit
OF industry i'll their several pla-
ces, the Patrons Of Husbandry
have not becnille. On last Sat
nrday, that being the 1st day of
August, Cold Water and Pleas
INT Plains Oranges met for a
grand rally according to pre-
vious appointment. The crowd
that assembled around old Shiloh
was no mean affair. The ladies
TUNED out Ell masse, far and
near, with their smiles to wit
ness a procession of the p. Of
IT,, who with their regalia, flags
and banners properly adjusted
in line, really looked well. AT
ter the procession had reached
the stand the banners and flags
being appropriately set up a
round the stand, the Patrons
were addressed by Messrs.
Knox Bryson, j. II Burnam and
j. G. Hague in appropriate
speeches. We were expecting
the w. NJ. of the State Grange, |
according 10 appointment, but
he failed to appear. Taking
all things into consideration, It |
was n pleasant and profitably |
spent day. Everybody seemed |
TO enjoy themselves finely. A
little hurrah was gotten up a.
mongst the boys out Of doors,
which was mistaken for a fight,
that created a considerable Stir
but soon quieted down.
The farmers Of Cold Water
have been gladdened with good
showers Of rain within the last
few days. Corn on Cold Wa
ter bottoms is extra fine; per-
haps the best ever seen there.
Our people need something to
help them out, as they mostly
failed in wheat crop.
Your Alabama correspondent
was in our neighborhood a short |.
time ago;,I was glad to see him.
We hope he will keep us posted
about the concerns Of his coun-
try. II.
