We acknowledge with pleasure the receipt
of an invitation, extended TO self and famiy,to
the dedicatory services of the new Cook Az
euue Methodist Episcopal Church at It.
Louis, Rev. c. o. Jones, Pastor. We say
with pleasure, for although unable to be
present, we have known and esteemed the
sender, and feel gratiied to know that he
has not altogether forgotten US in the worry
and work attendant upon his arduous posi-
lion. The citizens of Arcadia Valley are es-
peeialIy interested in all that befalls the Rev.
Jones, for he labored among them for years,
and it wa. here he sought and found part
ner- Miss Ella Topg-to share in his joys and
sorrows, his trials and successes. May the
brigh. side of life ever predominant with
Them We take from the Globe democrat
a summary of his life and work:
The Rev. Chas. o. Jones, pastor Of the
church, was born at Fayetteville, \. c., De-
cember Is, 1S49, received his classical educa-
ton at Emory College, Oxford, Ga, being
graduated therefrom in 1869, when not quite
30 wears old. He won second honors in bis
class and received his A. NJ. in due course
from the same institution In August OF 1862
he came TO Missouri, and immediately en-
gagedkn educational work in the colleges and
Schools of his church. In 1871 he was licensed
| TO preach, but for the next six pears con-
timed in educational work at Arcadia, Gale
donna and Springfield. His active pastorate
began after this, and he is now in the ninth
wear of it. He preached two years at Area
| dia. one ut Fredericktewn and three at
Charleston, and is entering upon his third
| wear in ST. Louis, having received reap
| noiu,ment at the late annual Conference. AT
| Z charleston his work among the young people

1 nifion. and a handsome silver water set pre-

is probably why the name Professor" still

seem to recognize in him peculiar fitness
for upbuilding, and during his pastorate
| have nut him Just where there Is that sort Of
| work TO be done. He is willing to acknowl-
adge that he is somewhat wearied by the
| Continual strain on him for some years, anc

Westminster Abbey is considered one of
the greatest architect ural designs evea built
upon the earth. Its constructed in the form
of cross, its extreme length is 81 feet, its
width Is 203 feet. The interior of the Abbey

the most enthusiastic admiration. AT one
time the Abbey was the burrying- place Of
the English Kings and it has become ma
tional honor to be inferred within its walls.

WASHINGTON, GA, Dec. 49,
General Robert TOombs died here
this evening at 6 o'clock.

A New York merchant, residing
on Hancock street, Brooklyn, al
though a gentleman of comfortable
means, has frequent economical fits.
Desiring to surprise his wife upon
her return from the country, Mr..
- concluded to undertake the task
of vanishing his dining room, which
had lost some of its lustre. After
devoting some time to searching for
a pot of varnish which had been used
on previous occasions, the merchant,
coatless and with rolled-up sleeves,
commenced the job which, after a
labor of over eight hours, he finished
to his entire satisfaction. The fol-
lowing morning he rose early, and
his first mission was to examine his
work. Greatly to his surprise, he
found that the "varnish" had not
dried a particle, although both doors
and windows had been left open. A
closer examination disclosed the fact
that he had not found the pot of
Yarnish, ana had vanished his din
ing room with maple syrup!

Burning a COlOred Orphanage.

The burning of the colored orphan
age at Chattanooga, Tenn, three
weeks ago, was supposed to have
been caused by defective fiue, but
subsequent events go to prove that
the fire was the work Ofincendiarism.
The fifty-four orphans who were
sheltered within its walls have since
been cared for in some barracks be-
longing to the city, but since then
three attempts have been made to
burn the temporary shelter. The
Home was the result of several years
labor on the part of Mrs. A. S. Steele,
for a number of years resident OF
Deer Park, and well know in this
county, and cost her an expenditure
of $500. The building was insured
for $4,000. At the time of the fire
Mrs. Steele was at her fathers resi-
dence in Revere, having gone North
TO present the Freedmen's cause in
some of the New England churches,
She returned to Chattanooga at once
and was gratified in finding that the
accident. as she then believed it to
be, had awakened the sympathies Of
the best people in the country, who
had contributed generously Particles
necessary to keep the homeless chill
dren from suffering.
