Woods, of the circuit court, rendered
a very lengthy opinion, Of which the
following are brief abstracts:

"It is clear that unless the will of
Mrs. Dorsey and the decision of the
second district court for the parish of
Orleans admitting it to probate, and
declaring the defendant to be the sole
legatee of Mrs. Dorsey, can be success
fully attacked in this court, the court
cannot grant any of the relief prayed
for by the bill. For as long as the

CHILLED Steel Pl0W

Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles
A first-class Steel Plow, made in the Or
dinary way, full rugged, retails for twenty-five
dollars Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars
The price OF our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and it Will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three Of the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards
1t will scour in soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved
failure.
With this Plow will be introduced a CORFU
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point on which
we have also obtained q Patent, and which is
also a great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and 1t can always be kept on q line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side of it as desired, and always kept in line.
The beam is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Flowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo-
date man or boy, on the same Plow.
1t is perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out OF use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
MGlleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam is the necessity Of the day. 1t
is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When ace say Mold board is chilled, the
farmers know 1t Is so.
We do not palm of on them a composition
OF various metals and call 1t chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town In this State.
We can give but very small discount to
them, but we viii pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow I'm the hands
OF Farmers as near the cost OF manufacture
as possible.
1t Will be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
1t shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing TO act
as agents on the principle that ga nimble six
pence is better than slow shilling" need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
rE- This is the only Steel Chilled Plow in
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rugged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that OF any Iron Plow
ever made.
1t is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at five dollars and a hall.
Where there are no agents we will, on re-
eeiptof Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay the
freight Address,

CHARLOTTE Co., VA.
One Of my tenants has with him his
father who is more than one hundred
years old, and is still vigorous in body
and mind. He has distinct recollection
of Tarlton's raid through this county
(Charlotte) in 1871, and other stirring
events connected with the Revolutionary
war But what pleases me most is to find
in him, though his skin is black. one Of
the brightest Christians I ever knew
Indeed it is surprising to hear with what
eloquence and power he can express him
self upon every branch of vital religion.
and the joyful hopes Of the Christian
he appears to be full of faith and of the
Holy Ghost, and to live in the very sub
urbs Of heaven. He has been pilgrim
to the promised land as long perhaps as
the lsraelites were in the wilderness, and
earnestly exhorts others to meet him
there. We can but hope we shall soon
have scores of such men as missionaries
in the heart of Africa.
| may add that the colored people here
have had a great revival Of religion among
them under the labors of worthy minis
ter of their own whom l assisted a little
In educating some years ago. Nearly all
In this section of country are members of
the church, and in the main conduct them
selves well, especially in their adherence
OF lntemperance to which they were much
addicted when slaves, and which is now
such curse to our own race all over the
land. The only druDkard l knew among
them came to me the other day to thank
me for my good advice at different times.
and especially for remarks at burial on
my premises that resulted in his convic-
tion and conversion, and said he was now
new man throughout J.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1880-02-11


In some measure convinced of sin. Nor
does the work appear to have ceased
several protessed conversions have oc-
Cured since the last sermon of DR.. Wha-
rey, and some seem still inquiring the
way of salvation
One of the most pleasing features of
this season of religious interest is that it
is truly and strictly reviual as we'll as
an awakening. It's influence has been
powerfully felt by old professors as well
as by persons previously without hope.
Christians generally have seemed more
sensible of their religious obligations, and
more desirous to discharge them with
tidellty Some, too, who after having
professed Christ years ago had wandered
from the fold and become identified with
the world, have been convinced anew of
their sin, and been led, as they trust, to
a true reception of the Redeemer.
Another most gratifying fact attendant
on these services, was the interest taken
in them by the colored people. From the
beginning they manifested a desire to
hear DR.. Wharey, whom many of them
had learned to admire while, as a student
at the Seminary he was accustomed to
hold services for their special benefit. On
the present occasion they came out in
constantly increasing numbers, till they
filled to overhowing both galleries of the
College chapel, and on Sunday night
they crowded the whole wide circuit of
the gallery of the church They listened
throughout with the greatest eagerness
and sometimes with emotion which they
could scarcely repress What blessing
to both races if white and black could be
brought habitually thus to worship to-
gether
On the whole, the people of God in this
neighborhood feel that they have abun
dant reason to thank their Lord for what
he has done, and to look to Him to extend
His work farther and farther.
OF the professed converts, it may be pre-
mature to speak. We are well aware that
their renewal can only be tested by time.
But that so far the change in them is
most marked and most happy, is certain.
AS far as we know, no one has manifested
an inclination to look back, and some,
perhaps all, are deeply conscious of their
remaining imperfections, and of the obi
CATION to seek a more perfect modification
OF sin, and more entire conformity to
the character and example of their di-
vine Lord.
What may be the result to the church
of this revival, who can tell? One of
yourselves, Messrs. Editors, will never
forget revival which occurred at Hamp
den Sidney more than forty years ago.
At that time there were among the stu
dents just about as many professed con-
versions as in the recent work of grace.
Of those converts, five mentioned in your
paper last week, have been for many
years preachers Of the everlasting gospel.
In the same blessed ingathering, there
were brought into the church number
Of the best ruling elders belonging to the
Presbyterian Church of Virginia
Let all your readers unite in the peti
tion that the youths who have lately at
tanned to hope in Christ, may be more
devoted more earnest, more useful than
their elder brethren, and that not one of
oar present students be left out.
