Addenda-At Timberridge are two churches.
the Presbyterian of 1855, and that of the AS
sociate Reformed Presbyterian denomination,
erected some years ago. Previous to that time
both congregations worshiped in the old edi'
flee. OF the latter, the late Rev. Horatio Thomp-
son, D. D., in connection with the Old Provi-
dence church. was pastor for over forty years,
He was succeeded by the Rev. S. W. Haddon
a young and able minister. Both churches
have been newly painted, and are in excellent
order. Ten ladies of the Associate Reformed
congr egation. which is small. through the
organization of the mite Society,"" which
holds its monthly meetings with regularity,
made all needed repairs. Their beautiful
church, and the many acts Of charity and
kindness which are dispensed by their So
ciety, well illustrate their fine taste and their
large benevolence in caring for the needy. In
all that could contribute to the comfort OF
members and the objects of the Presbytery the
two congregations were one during It's ses-
sion, as they are in daily associations, family
and neighborly friendships.
The pulpit of the old church was Occupi.
Sunday by DIR. Armstrong, and at the new
church Rev. Geo. l.. Brown of Bridgewater,
and Massanutto churches preached. At the
Presbyterian church in Lexington, Rev. w. s.
P. Bryan preached morning and night Rev.
F. R. Railey occupied the pulpit at Mt. Carmel
Sunday morning.
The deed for the lot of ground on which
Timberridge church stands, and containing
the cemetery, is filed in the Augusta county
Clerks Office, and bears date November 2lst
1853. 1t is made by William Houston to Samn
Mcdowell, John McClung John Lyle VIM.
Alexander and John Thompson. trustees of the
Timberridge Presbyterian congregation. This
William Houston was the ancestor of General
Samuel Houston of Texas fame. The old
family residence of the Houstons. where the
General was born stood on the eminence South
of the church. Many years ago, this farm be-
came the property of John Kinnear, who was
the father of the wife of the late Rev. DIR.
Thompson. Coming into his possession, he
built stately brick residence near the old
church. At DR.. Thompson's death, the farm
and residence passed to his daughter, Mrs.
Thomas N. Davis, of Lynchburg.

TREGO COUNTY.
Some of Its Natural Resources.

Trego county is supplied with an
abundance of building stone.
This stone is of three gualities-hard
or conglomerate, suitable for foundations
and two grades Of soft stone.
This stone is easily quarried, and the
soft varieties can be sawed into any de.
sired shape, after having been quarried
1t becomes harder after exposure to the
air for some time.
Many of the buildings in Wa-Keeney
and throughout Trego county are built
of this stone.
That the stone is capable of withstand
ing moisture and frost is attested by
many buildings now in good condition
that were built in 1S79-S0-S1, but they
are made additionally safe if the caves
of the buildings are made wide.
The county also has large deposits of
native lime, that can be dug out of the
banks, and is Immediately ready for use
on being mixed with sand and water.
This lime is suitable for all work on
stables and corrals and for inside work
on houses. It is frequently used for the
outside work on houses, but the eastern
burnt lime is better, because
it resists the moisture and frost better.
The county is well watered, having
within its borders the Saline and Smoky
rivers, Big creek, Trego, Spring, Happy
Hollow and the blackberry creeks as
well as some smaller streams.
Wells of good water are obtainable at
from fifteen to one hundred feet, accord

BANNER, kAN., Aug. II.
The health of the community is good,
as far as I know.
The Rev. J. G. Elliott preached an able
sermon at the school house last Sabbath
to large and appreciative audience.
The festival last Thursday evening at
Banner was grand affair. A sumptuous
feast was prepared by the ladies of the
neighborhood, and literally patronized
by the community. Net proceeds, Ssh.
Cutting up corn and cane is the order
these days with our farmers. We had a
glorious rain last Friday evening.
About two inches of water fell at Banner.
Friday night dampened the ardor of the
chinch bugs.
The threshers have been plying their
trade in this neighborhood. Wheat
averaged Is bushels per acre, and is of
good quality. Rye is very good, and
averaged ii bushels per acre. Oats
ranged from Is to 45 bushels. Corn is
good, though chinch bugs have damaged
late corn some. Cane is good. The hay
crop is generally good, and there will be
an abundance of feed put up to put the
stock through next winter, should it be
IS severe as last winter.
