fused to allow them to start. Moore
and Clark met in the evening and
after some words had passed between
them, Clark went to his Office and
was in a few minutes 1olloWeo Dy

Mr.. EE1ToR: A few notes.from this

we are seldom heard from through
the press, owing, I suppose. to the
modesty that blMshes at the mention Of
its own aOorth. Ours Is section favored
with schools and Churches, where
honest men live to enjoy the fruits of

enough to wear, and this is all Of the

pleasure of attending the last quar-
terly meeting of the circuit for the
present year, held at Clapp's Chapel
last Saturday and Sabbath. The Pre-
siding Elder. Rev. J. A. Ruble, was

DR.. Maskall on Sunday evening.
Clapp's Chapel, you remember, has
been twice burned within the past
year. A third and handsome build~
ing Is now being erected, and Is being
used as a place of worship. Ths
people are jealous, and appear deter
