On the third Sabbath Of July s.
preached In the Presbyterian Il -
ing and night. Contrary to his uy - Bm,
the Writer attended beth services. The SER
mon at night was excellent. It illustrated
thetext by Scripture, was methodical. season.
able, and evangelical In its spirit. Such
preaching viii always do good.
Church matters in Belleview are not thriv-
ing well. The work Of disintigration has
been been set up. This ia to be lamented, as
there are many good people here.
On the Monday after the third Sabbath Of
July, the writer started for the west end Of
Iron county. Seeing that the schoolhouse
at Cedar Grove was open, he went in, and
found Mrs. John Imboden presiding over
about dozen bright little boys and girls.
The teacher said she had an enrolment Of
seventeen, that it was private school, and
that her three months term would be ont the
next Thursday. She was doing her work
patiently and well, and very evidently knew
how to give to small scholars all the benefits
of a small school. She is good primary
teacher, for she teaches her pupils to think.
The writer halted little after shutdown
that night ut Mrs. Jane Henderson's. ON the
N. w. quarter of section 8, Township 81 N.
Range / west, completely tired down, hav-
ing walked not less than twenty-five miles
under scorching heat. He found all In that
neighborhood rs well ~ usual, and busy
finishing up their harvest. The following
Saturday and Sabbath were spent at Mount
Pleasant church, where the writer preached
on Saturday night, by request, on the SUBJ
ject of Feet Washing. The congregation
was large and very attentive.
On the Sabbath day the sacrament Of the
Lords Supper was administered, as that was
their annual meeting. The day being wet
in the morning, the audience was small, linn
tied mainly to those living near the church.
The number of the commencing members
was small in proportion to those in attend
ance. The death of Mrs. Adams has been
both directly and indirectly terrible ca
lsmity to that community, and the end is not
yet.
On the following Tuesday the writer start
ed ON his return trip. Going down the Mid
die Fork as far as Edge Hill, he came up
Outre, and spent two or three very pleasant
hours with his old friend, Mr.. Daniel Dem
niston, and then spent the night very hap
PLY with Mr.. John s. LuthY. Here he met
all the members of the School Board Of the
Bell district, and was employed to teach the
school.
On Wednesday the writer came on UP
Outre, and, passing over into Belleview,
made his home for the night at Mr.. John
Webb's, and was especially glad to find
that Miss Lucy, in spite Of her accident in
being thrown from horse, was aiding her
mother in the house work and able to give
very enjoyable evenings entertainment Of
social and instrumental music.
On Thursday morning the writer reached
home, and in the afternoon started for Iron
ton.
do not know who will take charge of our
Belleyiew schools. except the one at Elm
Grove. 1t has been assigned to Mr.. Everett
Breckenridge. He will have enough to en-
gage his attention fully. There are some
very fair scholars in the district.
We have had two marriages recently; Mr..
Falon and Mr.. Philip Carter. 1t is asserted
that when the boys came to chariyari Mr..
Falon, the beer began to run almost before
the horns began to blow. This was re-
mcrkable instance Of ides- motor actions Bak,
on the other hand, In the ease Of Mr.. Carter.
it is said that all the racket that could be
raised did not start any beer. He was the
wiser man.
Now that the wheat has been stacked this
region looks to be full of corn.
When he was In Ironton, the writer was
informed that "the Brown Place" is for sale.
That should be made d summer resort.
The writer thanks the Democracy of Iron
county for ratifying his state by good ma
jorities, and in Acknowledgements he prom
ises them In the near future an article on the
Tariff, as taken out of tie Platforms Of par
ties, and viewed from constitutional stand
point. THOMAS CALLAHAN.
