MUttlRted Coins.

There is general complaint from all parts
of the country against the continued increase
of Worn and mutilated coin which now crcu-
late in business circles. 1t is said that there
is more defective coin circulating in Il Q
United States than in any other county in
the world. England, France and other foreign
powers appropriate "A certain sum annually
for the preservation of their circulating
medium. As soon as piece of coin becomes
disfgured or worn to a certain extent it is
replaced by sa new coin, thus keeping in
circulation only money that is in good condi
ton. 1t is probable that the director of the
Uniteu States mint will. in his coming annual
report to the secretary of the treasury, recon-
mend plan for clearing the circulating me-
dunn of defective and worn COIN with as
little loss to holders as possible. Owing TO
the large amount of defective coin now in
circulation, it would require large appropria-
ton the first year to redeem if or replace it.
but the officials of the treasury department
state that il would not cost our government
more than SIS ZOO or $50 coo a year to keep
our coin in first class condition.

Camp Ground Notes,

The Kennebec Valley Camp-meetino
opened last evening, with social meeting
at the tabernacle, Rev. DIR. Stephen Allen pre-
| siding The attendance was good and the
| devotional exercises of an earnest and in.
! teresting character. The regular A. NJ
meeting TODAY was held at the stand, the
| opening discourse of the meeting being de-
livered by Rev. Mr. Smith, of Richmond.
His remarks were based on the passage
found in Zachariah ". 9th. Not bv
might nor by power, but by NV spiri,
saith the Lord of hosts" The
speaker in brief but effective sermon
pointed out the difference in Divine and hu
man methods. Human policy resort. to large
forces. while Gods method has not been to
accomplish the great triumphs of this cause
by resort to large numbers. In many of
the greatest undertakings we discover that
the fewest possible number of men have been
called into requisiton. As instances of Gods
methods the speaker referred to the selection
of Moses and Aaron TO deliver the Children
of Israel from bondage, the choice of the I'M
tutored sheppard lad David to overcome
the mighty Goliah. and the disastrous
rout of the vast army of the
Midianites by Gideon and his faithful
three hundred. These examples show US
that Gods methods are not as our m -thods,
that faithful reliance on His promises and
an unfaltering trust in His present and abid-
ing power, is more potent than thronged ar
mics. The wonderful agency Of God in sus-
tanning His people was often apparent in the
early days of the church and He still con-
tinues to abide as the grand instrumentalitv in
the salvation of the world from sin II is
announced that Mr.. Chas. Cults and wife of
Boston, will be here on Friday or Saturday
and Sunday.-Rev. L B. Bates, also of Bos-
ton, will be here on Wednesday and Thurs
