The heavy snow which fell here last
week and the intense cold which followed
for several days, was samething quite un-
usual for this section Of country at this
season Of the year. Four OR FIVE inches
CT snow and the mercury in the thermom-
eter rusticating down in the vicinity of
zero, created circumstances rather dis
couraging to many Of the farmers who had
considerable cotton and corn yet in the
felds, nor has the weather yet moderated
sufficiently to enable them to resume the
work of gathering.
REV. NJ. B. Umsted preached bis last
sermon in this place last Sunday, previous
to the annual conference, to attend which
he will start to-day (Thursday.) Parson
Umsted has labored faithfully among tie
people of Evening Shade and La Crosse
station during the past two years, and his
efforts have resulted in much good for the
cause of morality and Christianity, and it
seems to be the universal desire of the
people of this vicinity that he be returned
here for the ensuing year. A petition has
has been numerouSly signed requesting
his return, which will bs presented to the
conference, and it is hoped will have the
desired effect.
Instead of tearing down the brick
(M. E. church in this place, and replac-
ing it with new one, as was contemplated
some time since, the building was simply
divested of the organ (which was removed
to the Christian church) and permitted to
take brief rest, during which our citizens
recovered sufficiently from their nervous
CONDITION on the subject to conclude that
there was little or no danger, and last
Sunday the structure was again utilized
for holding church services. Next Sunday
Sabbath school will be held therein, and
regularly thereafter until another alarm
is raised, when there will be another
stampede, and SO on, until the house is
SO thoroughly repaired as to render its
safety beyond a doubt, and the sooner this
is done the better it will be.

Tonic in one day, aud believe l can sell 500
