sky in gourd to soak, unbuckle the
belly.band of eternity and let the sun
and moon out, but never delude yourself
with the idea that you can escape that
place on the other side of purgatory un-
less you pay for your newspaper" :
Mr.. E. B. Beuson has new advertise.
ment in this paper that should attract
the attention of every person who is in
terested in buying honest goods at very

In order to change their business into
groceries strictly, Brown Bros. are offer
ing their entire stock of dry goods, no.
tons, clothing and hats at-cost. we ad'
wise our readers to give this firm an early

miscuous kissing, when they meet and
part, the reform would be amazing.

alone in the house, and by some means
its clothing caught fire. ihen it ran out of
the house. A colored man, who was near
by, seeing that the child's clothing was
burning, ran to it and smothered out the
fire with his coat. The child's back
was burned almost to a crisp. 1t lived
until Wednesday morning, when death
came to its relief.
!SoWher7, Christian Aduocatc "Rev. j: w.
Wolling gives very cheering account of
affairs in his charge. A recent effort to
raise money to build new church was so
far successful, that Bro. Wolling conf
IDENTIFY expects to see handsome new

hopes to see the walls so up and the roof
put on during the present year. The spir-

with its material prosperity. About

we'll attended and of unusual interest and
profit"
The Ne,ns and Courier says: "Rev. DR..
Lander, the able and distinguished presi-
dent of the Williamson Female College,
has introduced decidedly new and very
valuable feature into the course of in
struction at his excellent institution. In
a letter to the Ne,cs and Courier, DR.. Lam
der says: we intend to appointa pupil
each day to make an abstract of the
worlds news from the News and Courier
and present it for the use and enjoyment
of the whole school, The plan is un-
doubtedly good one. DR.. Lander will

times in which they live by this means
than by any. other that could have been
devised"
