A special from Cincinnati to the Atlanta Con-

the progress of the work some one called my at

bitterly and seemed in great distress. / was told
they were the daughters Of Mr. J. P. Weaver

them, and encouraged them to surrender their
hearts to Christ, and trust Him as their Savior
and the Good Shepherd OF their lives. Shortly
after had talked with them they seemed to
receive the truth fully and arose with happy
faces, declaring their faith joyfuliy. There was
much rejoicing among their friends and they
seemed to have many warm and sympathetic
friends in the congregation. learned they were

dressed, and one, or both, of them wore spec

by every one as very excellent and exemplary
young people. They were certainly joyfully
converted to CHRIST, and their new-found life
must be one of peace and hope. If Mr.. Weaver
will, he has now an opportunity to do perfect
atonement for his past by devoting his life to
these young daughters who have given their
lives up to the doctrine of Christ They need
their fathers help and loving counsel, no doubt,

A Highly Prosperous Road.


One of the best feeling railway presidents in
this country is President Stevens. of the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois. The earnings OF the road
continue to make gratifying exhibit and prom
ise to do so for some months to come. The
stock Of the road is rapidly reaching the par
point It's gross earnings for the year ended

ended June 3d. 1886 they will be about ST. 720 900.
or an increase of $120,000. The accounts for
ten months show actual net earnings of $50, 600
in of those for the same period OF 1885. 1t
is very reasonable and conservative estimate
that the net earnings for the remaining two
months will amount to $15, 900, making total
increase for the year of $100 000 or $500, 900 as
against 100000, in round Numbers, for 1885
The fixed charges. including rent, interest and
taxes. are in the close vicinity Of 100000 On
this basis there was earned for the stock last
year 100000. This year there will be $203 900
for the $3000000 stock, nearly per cent.
Last March dividend of q per cent. was de-
clared, it being the first for four years. Wefeel
warranted in saying that another % per cent.
will be payable in September.
