Religious Services.

Rev. DR.. Burkhead has been preach.
ing in the Presbyterian church morning
and night, since Sunday last. Great
crowds flock to hear the eloquent divine
and his sermons are calculated to do a
great deal Of good. There is nothing
sensational about DR.. Burkhead,
though he is a very successful
revivalist. He appeals to the rea-
son OF his hearers and does not at
tempt to"work upon their feelings. His
sermons are a:conncctcd series and so
far have proved mastery efforts in be-
half Of the christian dispensation. Tho
meeting will probably continue the rest
of the week and will doubtless result in
muchts good to all the denominations.

The New Deal Party Declares Itself.

Pursuant to a call published in las
vile assembled in the. Court House t.
nominate a ticket for the support Of al
true and staunch Democrats at the mex
election for intendant and wardens
One could depict on the faces of thi.
little band firm determination t
f"wring" their dearly beloved town from
the loathsome grasp Of ring bosses auc
intrigues. So much had they heard o.
late, from n versed Oh the subject a
such political monsters that they were
troubled with the consciousness that
even they, Notwithstanding the purest
intention might still. belong to a 'ring'
or be under the dominion Of some
"Boss" without. even knowing it
1t was with these noble ends in view
that the peoples man, NJ. q. Zcigler
was called to the chair. In order to
prevent any log rolling and the grinding
Of special axes, before any 'mug
wunps" might appear upon the scene
and disclose the workings of some "ring'
or"boss," Capt. w. Il. Branch. who dis.
claimed all connection with n "ring,'
though according to n very late authori-
ty he confessed he might still belong ia
one "unbeknowings" to himself, arose
and in n few we'll chosen remaks de-
clarcd that for tho safety Of the dear
peoples rights, that q "New Deal"r was
and should be the order of the day
and without further parleying he loudly
contcnded that the "Old Ticket" should
be nominated.
Mr.. l.. w. Smith, was also opposed to
rings" and objected TO such "Bossismn
as to nominate "Old Ticket" under pre-
tence Of New Deal" He began to
think, that Notwithstanding all dis
claimed the fact, this meeting must be
under the dominion Of q string." He
had a serious charge to make against
present incumbents. If he had been
correctly informed they had acted be-
yond their sphere, and instead Of con-
filming themselves to the affairs pertain.
ing to the police, &C., they had actu-
ally invaded the sacred realms Of relig-
ion. His informant had assured him
they had forbidden the darkies their
n enjoyment in this life, making night
hideous IN their religiaus agitations and
they had been commanded by their
"BossesHn the town council, to close
the performance promptly at 10 O'Clock
p. IN.
Mr.. Branch repudiatcd the idea of
"Bossism" governing his nominations.
lie could vouch for the actings Of
the council and assured all present
that not a member of hat ADJUST body
had a thing to do-with religion, politics,
or whiskey for the last twelve months.
The Chairman stated that he had
objections to the New Deal" proposed
by Mr.. Branch but since the positive de-
NAL of oil charges, all objections were re-
served, and as no other charges were
preferred and no other name presen-
ted he declared the ole council to be
however, of the true blue party.
Great was the rejoicing Of the noble
at this announcement, anu Mr.. J..
8. Hammond, who heads the ticket
was vociferously cheered. Tho N. d.
p; did we'll and deserve the confidence
of their fellow-citizcns.
