just completed the work of cleaning
up the havoc wrought on that Co, 8
interests by the frcshet OF six weeks

disaster the Co. has built long dixie

west side OF the stream, the purpose
of which is to divert floods from the
wash-place. There's no estimating
the amount of damage done by that
storm in that section of our county

part in this matter, to the advertise
ment of Mr.. Joseph Gordon, a sue

He has lot of choice pigs for sale,
and We advise those contemplating
a purchase to embrace this opportan-

last year Mr.. Gordon sold 10 sows,

pounds, Notwithstanding they had
each raised two litters of fine pigs.

1t is with mingled feelings of sadness
and regret that we note the departure OF
Mr. r. A. Horton, for "other climes and

fields are presented for the full ana com
plete development of his resources, men,

we are 10th to give him up-a tried
friend, whole-souled gentleman and an
excellent citizen, yet we ad llire his pluck
and vivacity, and are fully satisfied that
his manly deportment, genial manners
and thorough knowledge Of the ways

will soon win for him that respect, conf

deserves. Farewell, Thomas we will

HARDY. STATION, Oct, 18th 1882,

Editor Senti,nel:-The question that
most nearly concerns this community,
At present. is the Church movement. Mt.
paran church was built about thirty y-five
or forty years ago, in the "good old
times" when people had all the conyen-
fences to carry them wherever they
wanted to 60. Since then, as necessity
demanded, it has been patched here and
there until, like the rest Of our dear old
country, hardly vestige of its former
self remained. The question Of moving
if has long been discussed, and at last the
.eehurch, as body, met, and by vote of
n majority OF its members, decided OF
move it to some place within the corpo-
rate limits OF our little town. To some
extent, the same rules should apply to
churches, as to other organized bodies
that is, the majority should rule in cases
where there is diversity of opinion on
any subject of its government That our
little town will have church of some
kind, is a question that no one will
doubt and the Baptists are blind to their
own interest when they even hesitate to
make it one OF their own denomination.
The church, where it stood, was in an
out-of-the-way place, and sadly in need
of repairs. To many of our people it
was dear old place, a connecting link
between themselves and many scenes
that are, no doubt, very dear, yet they
must know that it could not have stood
forever, and that the younger portion OF
their church, while they have the great
est respect for their feelings in the mat
ter, can not, to some extent, show them.
Besides, their aim should be, the greatest
good to the greatest number, and surely
when it is fitted up where it now stands,
it will be both an ornament to the town
and greater power to the Baptist cause.
The ladies' on the committee are working
like Troians, and while they meet with a
great many discouragements, yet, like
the tabled giant, they only gain strength
by coming in contact with mother earth;
and by the aid of their friends and gen.
erous public, will yet succeed in their
noble work and we hope, ere long, to
see noble band of brothers and sisters
laboring together for the same cause.
As in politics, SO in religion; if we would
succeed, we must work together, and not
stop to discuss ques tions that are of as
little real importance as is the question
of "Who killed Billy Patterson"

He sat in the end of the parlor car,
With his hat pushed back In careless way

When. like sun beam, a happy smile

(He knew I'd been watching him quite 0
while)

Brushing his head and breaking his back

With tender look in his eyes 80 mild,
"Kiss me, old fellow!; want you, you see
To take 1t from me to my little Id.
Right on yonr lips" he. muttered; snow

That nothing shall touch them until it's

She Why didn't my pa come, too,
(ier little red checks with tears were wet,)
And kiss Pearly hisself, 'stead of sendin'

The knowledge from her tried to keep,
As we went by the room where lay the dead,
Reposlng there In his final sleep.
