column Mr.. Hoge succeeds to the bust
ness of the concern. In this community
where he is so well known and highly

to commend him. His experience in all
lines of insurance, and sterling character
as man, are the best guarantees that

whatever they may be. All who desire
to place insurance should call at the Atlas

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES services at the
Baptist church on Sunday last, were inter-
esting and very impressive. 1t was the
occasion of the installation of Rev. DIR.
Nelson who short time ago was called to
the pastorate of the church and has since
been acceptably filling that pulpit. In the
morning Rev. DR.. Hatcher, of Richmond,
preached powerful sermon, and DR..
Thomas, of Richmond. participated in
the services.
In the evening, when the installation
services proper took place, Prof, Kable, on
behalf of the congregation, made an eff
fective address OF welcome to the new
pastor, which, in feeling terms, was re-
sponded to by DR.. Nelson. Prayers were
offered by Rev. Geo. B. Taylor, the former
beloved pastor of the church, and by Rev.
w. Y. Abraham. The charge to the people
was by DIR. Thomas, and that to the pastor
by DIR. Hatcher. The collection during
the day liquidated the debt recently in

The markets continue lifeless, and with the
exception of a little activity in the fertilizer
line, trade of all kinds is duller than for years.
1t is greatly feared that the continued drought
will have an injurious effect on tie corn which
is1ust now maturing. The dryness will also
delay the foil blowing and doubtless decrease
the acreage of wheat. Prices yesterday ranged

when the constitution allowed him only
81, 800 per annum, and 5000 for incidentals.
He was glad Ayres was cart driver, as he
would know how to back his cart up and
carry out the dirt that had accumulated in
the Attorney Generals Office.
AS to the hard times he said that was
all bosh. That Low Moor was preparing
to increase its plant, and that $2,00O,00O
had come into the State since Cleveland
was inaugurated.
He was frequently applauded during his
speech and several handsome boquets were
deposited on the stand in front of him.
One was from Mrs. Gen. j. Z. B. Stuart,
which Capt. Bumgardner presented, but
the candidate for Governor was SO over
powered by his feelings that he could not
respond to the presentation.
JNo. W. DANIEL.
AT the close of Lees speech Capt. j
Bumgardner introduced Mai. Jno.
Daniel, who was warmly greeted. DAME
as every one knows, IS beautiful speaker,
and his oratory never fails to elicit admir-
alton. We have not the space to give an
outline of his speech. One or two parts,
however We're worth recording. In re-
cent interview with Cleveland, when he
and Tucker had gone to the White House
to use their influence in accellerating the
process of turning the rascals out the
President after hearing their complaint,
said he recognized the force of the argu-
ment. but would have to go slow. ''This is

reformer. land have lots of places to look
after. feel like new farmer clearing
woodland. The timber is down and
want to pull out the stumps so as not to
break the machine. When they are all out,
shall fertilize the places where the
stumps were. and have a standing crop of
Democrats for the next twenty years.
The speaker declared himself an out and
out administration man, and expressed the
utmost confidence in the Presidents in
tention to turn every Republican officer
out and put a Democrat in his place.
In reference to the Funding bill he de-
clared that he had voted against it. and as
for Fitz Lee, he didn't know whether he
knew anything about the measure at the
time, as Fitz was busy blowing in Alex
andria.
: Another statement made was that of
the 36 Democratic Senators. two-thirds of
them had supported the Blair bill, and
that through Republican influence the bill
had not been allowed to go into the House
until too late to be acted upon. Like Lee,
he bitterly denounced Wise, using such
chase expressions as ''liar.' ''slanderer"
and the like, to give vent to his pent up
feelings.
Daniel was literally cheered throughout
his speech, and at the close the meeting
adjourned.

Then came the nominations for the

TIE HUMAN Vo1cE.-How wonder
full is the human voice! It is indeed
the organ of the soul. The intellect
of man sits enthroned visibly upon
his forehead and in his eye, and the
heart of man is written upon his
countenance; but the soul reveals
itself in the voice only, as God re-
vealed himself to the prophet of old
in "the still small voice. and in q
voice from the burning bush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible.
A sound alone betrays the flowing OF
the eternal fountain, invisible to
man.
