Correspondence Of the 1ntelligencer.
The Marshall County Teachers Inst
tute, which was held here the past week
is said to be one OF the best ever held II
our county. We hear the Instructor, Jas
Fowler, Of worthington, highly spoker
Of; also the management Of the institute
by the County Superintendent, D. Bopar
We understand that the teachers coptem
plate holding another during the winter
holidays.
The Republicans OF Marshall county
held their District Conventions yesterday
to elect delegates TO the County Conven
ton, which meets here next Wednesday.
There was considerable excitement In
our town over the election OF the dele.
gates. The principal contest seems to be
between the candidates for the office oi
Sheriff, for which office there Is more than
half q score Of candidates. From what
we can learn the contest for the nomina-
ton for the Sheriffalty lies between J. B.
Hicks, Of Cameron. and T. s. Bopar, OF
Meade, while G. A. Jones, Esq, OF Web.
ster, seems confident that he Is the COM
ing man. Ozark horses" are numerous
and should the principal contestants fail
there is plenty OF good material to choose
from.
The County Convention promises to be
a big affair. A full turn out is expected,
and the Mound City Cornet Band will
make music for the occasion. :
In the absence OF Rev. j. s. Pomeroy,
who is at Powhatan, Ohio, there was no
service In the Presbyterian church to-day.
Rev. s. B. D. Prickett, Of Volcano, filled
the pulpit OF the NJ. z. Church at 10!
A. N. He preached to large and attentive
audience from the text, "And ], II be
lifted up, will draw all men unto me-"
DR.. ]. A. Fullerton occupied the pulpit In
the evening. His discourse was based
upon the text, "And he went out and wept
bitterly"
The subject was handled in the Doctors
usual able style.
The P. NJ: service on the campground
was conducted by Rev. ]. P. Thatcher.
Quite large congregation was assembled
within the inner circle to hear the sermon,
but many preferred to wander around the
encampment and notice the improvements
that have been made.
Rev. Thatcher spoke from the words
"rherefore being justified by faith We
have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Chris" Romans 5.l. In the course
OF his remarks Mr.. Thatcher said not more
than seventy-fye thousand persons on
this continent measure up TO the standard
el justification.
Our mind was called to the time when
Elijah was fleeing from Jezebel, aud he
thought he was the only one in Israel who
was on the Lords side. We think Bro.
Thatcher about as nearly correct as Elijah
was.
Having been from home for q short
time we were interested in seeing the i'm
provements on the camp ground. But as
other correspondents have been noting
these from time to time we will only say
we were surprised at the improvements.
The inner circle Is furnished with seats that
are very comfortable to sit in-only the
paint is not quite dry yet. I suppose 1t
will be dry by the commencement OF the
regular services. RASoB.
