iov, and plenty of it. All nature, ami
mate and inanimatc, seems to have put
on new strength and beauty. Not a
vine, nor brook, nor hill, not forest, but
sends up a sweet smelling incense to its
Maker. While man, "the noblest work
OF Gods creation" silently adores the
master hand that formed this bright and
beautiful world for his delight and pleas
ure.
TIE AFRICAN CAMP MEETING
which has been in progress for a week
past closed last Sunday evening amid
general good feeling. The best OF order
was observed throughout the meeting
and there was but little drunkenness on
the ground or on our streets.
The preaching throughout was quite
good and these COlOred men show a pro-
gress, which for their advantages should
put the pale face brethren TO shame.
Their theology was most excel
lent, and good sense was evlnced
in every discourse we were
permitted to hear. Rev. Barber, who
had general supervision ofthe meeting,
is especially good in conducting and was
the leading orator OF the occasion. To
him should be given the glory which
success deserves. We trust the re-
ceipts will aid them greatly in building
a new church, which is needed very
badly, and which their pastor surely
| merits.
THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
is assuming grand proportions, and will
be cOmmodious and beautiful building
when completed, and one OF which
| GAINESVILLE should be Justly proud.
| The voun! idea will certainly have room
! to shoot, and as we remember the size OF
/ our old rooms, the dear old place we
| loved SO well and which memory
! chershes SO iondly, and Of which no
| stately ediflce can take its place, We
certainly think We are deserving OF
credit for our expansion. Under more
! favorable circumstance with all the
modern conveniences, plenty OF room,
&c, our boys and girls will certainly
have chance.
The brick work il now completed, and
the frame work of the roof is being made
ready Tor the slate. 1t is expected that
il will be finished for the use OF the
school by the last OF December, and
| GAINESVILLE will, for its size, have the
best and most handsome school build
Ing in this part OF the state.
Many OF our people will doubtless
avail themselves of the grand excursion
over the B. Il o. road, ria Sandusky, To
NiagaIa Falls, starting next Tuesday
This is certainly a pleasure which al
NAV enjoy, aS the low rate OF five dol
lurS Tor the round trip is certainly very
cheap. and every one who can possibly
should give themselves this rare treat.
BASE BALL
is the rage now. Another match game
came off at Somerton last Saturday, Ue.
tween the Athletics, OF GAINESVILLE, ano
the Rustics of that CITY, resulting in VIC
tory for our boys. The st. ClairsvillC
bows will play the Athletics next Satur
dav on the Fair Grounds. Let every
body 90 and See the fun.
MANY families will leave this week
for the quiet and shady resort at Burr
Mills camp ground. The family OF Mr.
| Eli Moore, L. T. HanlOn and Rev. SullI

low the last of the week, so that by TN,
opening OF the meeting the tent holder
will almost all Ice arranged and read,

meeting Will strictly enforce the Sunda!
law on the Sabbath day, and all tratfi
will be prohibited; so all who wan
cigars, melons, fruits, &c, will have 4
procure them on Saturday, or brini
them along.
