Ira p. Jones, Esq, elated our
community with a lecture which de-
serves notice in you valuable paper.
The young men of our community
with whom he had associated from
childhood had not learned to ap-
preciate his talents, went to the lee
ture expecting to turn it into con
versation party, but Mr.. Jones'
profound logic and reasoning and
great eloquence SO riveted their at
tention that they actually forgot
their syeethearts were present.
Mr.. Jones by his series of lee
lures is waging successful warfare
against the use of tobacco. If it
does not reform those who are adj
dicted to its use it cannot fail to
prevent others from contracting the
pernicious and filthy habit. He de-
serves the gratitude of the commu
nifty for his uninterrupted efforts to
Danish from society a habit which
has always exercised so degrading
an influence.

it." Speeches were made by B. A.
J. Nixon, I. A. Thornton, H.. IL.
Thompson, r. F. Boyd, Com. Perry
and Robert McKissack. The
speeches were very sensible and
moderate, as far as we heard. A
motion was made to elect delegates
to the convention winch met in
Nashville yesterday, but it failed to
pass when it was ascertained that
the members of that body were all
invited and no appointed delegates
were expected. B A. j Nixon and

There have been two or three re-

$40 per acre. Though everybody,
NEARLY in this country, from Dan
to Bersheba, Is buying corn (sad

would make a large portion of our
bread next year. The season thus
far is certainly not very favorable
for cotton. Jack frost was shining

any damage done by it. Cool and

Our farmers are up with their
work and in fine spirits. Wheat IS
heading and is very promising.
Cotton is looking as well as ever
seen al this time of the year, and
the acreage is greater than usual.
Corn also is coming up very well.
The general health of the commu-
nity is good. Rev. Mr.. Officer
was to have preached here last sun
day, but failed to come. DR.. John
Meadows and lady have returned
from a visit of several days to rela-
tiyes in Alabama. Miss May Eas-

is really distressing to hear him
singing: mo one to love, none to
caress.'' Poor fellow! he has no
love for fine cravats now. Sunday
was a big day at the colored Meth
odist church. Several of our white
ladies and gentlemen attended, and
we understand were well pleased.
Fishing is in full blast-both men
and women go. Jack A. caught a
ffty pound cat the other day and
was as proud of it as a pullet is Of
her first egg. Wish he had given
us a mess. We have again had the
pleasure of hearing Hon. u. w. Ew
ing lecture. His lectures are really
interesting and instructive. We
would be glad to hear more of them.
Our people were very much pleased
with your limber-jack preacher.
They heard him lecture and are
very anxious to hear him preach.

soon? w. r. Hughes has resigned

TO Our Colored Friends.

We have no interest in deluding
you, put ia the interest OF humani-
ty we wish to dissuade YOU from
entertaining the proposition to emf
crate to Kansas or elsewhere. Thou
sands of colored people who have
been misled into moving to Kansas
are starving, and untold miserles
are being endured. Do not rush
from land of plenty and peace in
to the very jaws of dessolation and
suffering Some of you are men
Of sense and you cannot fail to see
that this movement was gotten up
to depopulate the South so as to re
duce her representation in Congress,
and as it has always been, these
leaders are concentrating their pur-
pose at the expense of colored men.
They do not care for your peace
and comfort, they care not if your
families starve and die and rot, if
by that means they can accomplish
their ends. The men who made
speeches Saturday have sense
enough to see the truth of this and
it is their duty to their race to
counsel against it. We make these
remarks not from political motives,
but only out of sheer sympathy and
with the purest desire to prevent
you from rushing thoughtlessly In
to starvation and restitution.
Heed it or not as you please; but
remember, If you are carried away
by this emigration fever, you viii
before long see the day that you
will wish you had taken our advice,
given in kindness and for your
own benefit. We are glad to note
the strong opposition manifest Sat
urday against the movement and
we congratulate the men who OPP
posed it upon their exhibitions of
sense and foresight.

Officer Porter arrested a man
named Powell near the bridge last
Friday evening for passing counter
felt money in town. His partner,
a son of the old man Merely, who
lives on Powder Mill Hill and served
a term before the war for counterfeit
ing, ran from Mr.. Porter and es.
capped. Powell's trial will take place
before ESQ. Alexander tomorrow.
The coin they had in possession
and some of which they passed is
the poorest imitation we ever saw
1t is not half as heavy as silver, is
as dull looking as lead, very poorly
stamped and has not the slightest
ring, and is not calculated to de
ceive any one of ordinary watch
fulness. Powell claims that it was
Merely alone who had the money
and that the half-dollar found in his
pocket-book got in there in making
change somehow. Mr.. Porter shot
at Merely four times while he was
running, and at the second shot he
fell, but at once lose and continued
his flight. He thinks one shot at
least took effect.

he backed until spring snapped.

on up in a fence corner, mounted
the horses Bareback, two on each
horse, Sunday clothes and all, and
marched into town at 3 o'clock in

DEAR Bros. AND SISTERS - The
meeting at our church has been IN
progress for some time with in
creasing interest. Some of you
have enjoyed these meetings and
have been blessed. Others seem to
have no identity with it. Why?
This is Christ's cause that we are
trying to promote among your PEG
people. Are you satisfied with the
part you are taking In iG? Are
your relations to this meeting and
the efforts put forth such as you
desire, and such as you feel that
your Master will approve "in that
dayi" The meeting will go on.
Sinners will be saved. Christians
will be strengthened. What of
your May God incline you to in
creased devotion and interest in
His work l make this appeal, but l
do it in the name of Jesus. Will
you join in this work?
Christians of other denomina-
tions are to some extent participa-
ting and are being blessed; but we
would be glad to see every lover of
Jesus no matter what his name or
profession, take part with US. 1t
is not Methodist meeting. There
is no sectarianism in it, and we
sincerely invite all Christians to
Join in the exercises.
