Our Martindals correspondent for some

We were permitted recently to inspect o
very nice piece of work by our Mr.. Chap
man. photographer viz: picture of one.plate
of our ex-bachelor friend and contributor,

Davis in the picture, as well as out of it,
looks younger and happier than he did years

once again-"you may be happy yet"
Rev. W. D. Beverley, of Crockett, held
several services at the Baptist Church the
latter part of last week and on Sunday, and
we learn was unanimously chosen pastor of
said church. We heard him preach on
Sunday night, and he impressed US as q
clear forcible speaker and earnest and de-
vout minister. Owing to the state Of his
private business, he will not be able to re-
port for duty for about month. We trust
the relation between pastor and people here
may continue mutually satisfactory and
profitable.
Jay E. Hunter, ESQ, writes us that he is
located and ready for business, Office in the

receive some further letters relating to Mr..
HIS recent tour TO the Pacific coast. He
came from Oregon to ST. Paul via the
Northern Pacific r. R., and found the trip
especially interesting. He writes us that
the country around st. Paul and Minneap-
oils is settling mp rapidly, money plentiful
and everything booming.
