NEIGHBORS NOT LABORERS,

This is what, the South needs. We
must abandon the old idea of slave
times, that a man to become wealthy
must own a large plantation, and
that he must scratch over and
butcher "twehty-fve to thirty acres
to the hand"
Our land owners as a rule are
land-poor. We must make up our
minds to get rid of all surplus lands
sell them to industrious white
mel in small parcels, and get neigh
bors; live, energetic, intelligent neiqh-
6ors. We want none of the riff.raff
Of the North Or Of Europe-we want
no more worthless and improbable
people-we have an abundance of
item and to spare. Give us neighbors
who will be their own laborers.

Upon careful inquiry of farmers
and u warehousemen, as to the
extent of the damage to the tobacco
by the ~frosts, we conclude that about
two-thirds of the crop had been
cut, and that about one-third of the
crop remaining on the hill, was
badly damaged. The bottoms and
lowlands suffered most, and as a
rule the best tobacco had not been
cut. kilograms from various points
IN Kentucky and Virginia indicate
that the damage was much more
serious. There are individual instan-
ces in this section where the whole
crop was almost a total loss.

to exalt individual opinion above the authority
of our Assembly. And we would earnestly
warn our people against it.

and after encouraging reports of the
work already done, we resolved to raise
from three to four thousand dollars and

Presbytery of Cen Mississipp


Met at Salem church, October 7th.
Rev. R. w. Mecklin was chosen Mod
orator.
A full docket called for much work.
and the three days we were in session
were crowded with earnest labors for the
Masters cause. One young brother, ].
d. Boyd, was examined In all the parts
of trial, and duly licensed to preach the
gospel. He received call from two OF
our churches Durant and Winona, and
will be ordained and installed In October.
Two colored candidates were closely
and rigdly examined and received under
the care OF Presbytery, one of them has
been Baptist minister for fifteen years.
He goes to the Seminary at Tuscaloosa.
1t was decided to raise $500 for Evan
gelism and $500 for Sustentation.
One new church was enrolled, and
steps taken to organize another, making
4S in our Presbytery.
An elder, w. H. Perkins, was appoint
ed to read an essay on Hearing the
Word"
Steps were taken to employ another
evangelist, whose field will be the Delta
of the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers.
The report OF the Board of Trustees of
the two schools at French Camp, both of
which are under the care of Presbytery,
was very favorable. One OF these, the
Female Institute, is under the manage
ment of Mr.. and Mrs Sanderson-the
latter native of Virginia and the form
er son OF our esteemed and we'll known
brother, Rev. Dr. Sanderson, of Alabama.
The other school, the Male Academy,
is under the management OF Rev. J A.
Mecklip, and Miss Killough from the
Normal School at Nashville This school
already has over fifty pupils, with an ex-
lstence OF little over five months. There
are four or five young men who expect
to study for the ministry.
Steps were taken to ordain a colored
minister.
Presbytery, in reply to two overtures,
decided that it was out of order for
Session to ordain deac mess, and that a
stated supply ought to perform all the
duties Of pastor.
The pastoral relation between Lexing-
ton church and Rev r. w Mecklin was
dissolved.
French Camp was chosen as the next
place Of meeting.
Salem church is in most delightful
community, and the Presbytery came
away with the feeling that they would
not object to another meeting at Salem
in the near future The Cumberland
Presbyterian church is near and on Sun
day we had two crowded houses. Dr.
Bardwell preached in the latter, and gave
us one Of his mastery arguments in the
blessed gospel, carrying us back to the
