j. E. Rudisil arrived with his family to-
day. Speaking of this minister's depar-
ture from I%ronton, the Register says:
"Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Rudisill have been
the recipients of many kind attentions as
the hour for their departure from Ironton
draws nigh. First, Mr.. Rudisilps congre-
cation surprised him by presenting a
purse of S51 in the midst of an unan-
nounced social gathering at the church.
Then a week later, while Mr.. R. was at
Conference, Mrs. RudisiII was called into
the church on a similar occasion to accept
a purse of $53. The Mission Band of
Wesley Chapel waited upon Mrs. Rudisill
twice with tokens of their esteem. Mrs.
John w. Campbell gave a reception last
Thursday evening, in honor OF Mrs. Ru-
disill, to which entertainment only Pres
byterian ladies were invited, and last Sat-
urday night, Mrs. Rudisilrs Sunday School
class, composed of sixteen young men,
sent their teacher a beautiful toilet case
with their compliments. All these tokens
but feebly express the high degree of
affection and esteem which the people
among whom Rev. Rudisill and his esti-
mable wife have lived and labored for
the past three years, feel toward them.
They leave Ironton with many regrets,
and attended by the best wishes of the
whole community."........Th Cornet

this evening. A large crowd greeted
Leonard at the Rink. .....C Calhoun, Rob-
