church. Well what to do; get in to so
ciety. We suggest q do) that decided
ly more strict surveillance be exercised
over matters there in the future. and that
the proper caution be exercised to get the
church back to her old standard.
am very glad to hear that it is inten.
ded TO make LIS wedding, that is to occur
at Berean. December. 10Th. a real society
affair. She is a smart girl and all this
community will wish her prosperous
journey. The Virginia residents in the
city will no doubt make the occasion one
of note and honor of the groom, c. j. M.
who has been orator and busy politician
over i'm the old state for number of
years. We shall get glimpse of several
Richmond bellies, who will be here at
that time. Z. C. L. that made such Il
hit i'm Louisville last fall, will be with us
in time for the wedding, and the first
Sparta sociable. Mrs. A. is deserving of
all the hOnOrs and courtesies that she is
receiving at the Capitol. She is to be
classed with those called the ''noble
women of the state" Bessie has recov-
cred, she was out driving last Wednesday
with the young Californian. ! asked her
about him. she said that his claims upon
her were based on the simple fact that he
was by all odds the most unpretending
man she was ever introduced to. They
90 together very much, no dOnbt he
thinks lots of her. Miss w. whose ac-
quantence | have not the pleasure to
possess, is fast growing into favor as a
musician. She deserves more than is
said for her as the presiding one at As
bury organ. Our old friend w. c. was
ever so kind. he obtained seats for us at
the great Ingersoll meeting, and we
thank him for his goodness. The o. M.
+. was even more eloquent than usual.
and Col. Robert, oh? just put him
where Sumner stood. The other affair at
DIR. Rankins church was dull, fiat, stale
and improbable affair. The Professor
was at least twenty years behind. He
made speech, stump speech, but sub
mitted no remedy for the present, nor
did he say ANYTHING that the whole audi
aoce did not know. Men who would be
leaders. must not remain away from the
scene OF action too long. When you see
@. tell her not to fail To attend the Liter
ary Oh NJ street on the Doth. will be
present with a dear friend from St, Louis.
and am anxious for her to meet him.

Jennie will be back Oh the 22nd. Kate
has not been to our house since Septem-
ber. The young man from Tennessee
made no impression upon her whatever.
She says that he is as light as a feather in
his head. G.. will be with us on Tuesday.
The Dramatic Club has much trouble in
getting on its feet. O.. X. is the proper
man To be Ifs head. very true, but mater
ial is lacking. No, indeed. wonld not
think of 9oii.g to Alexandria alone, since
the Democrats have won their bloody
blood-bought victory. You can observe
the mean, hating rebcllinus spirit, mani
testing itself towards colOred la,lies who
travel on the boats between here and
there. Sadie who is teaching near Dan
Vile, wrote to her mother that over seven
teen colored men were killed i'm Virginia
| from the 25lh of October to November
9th. and each death was because of the
| loyalty and adherence to Gen., Malone,
aud the liberal party. Good bye until
