The series Of meetings which are

we'll attended during this week and
the interest isnanifestly on the in

Mr.. Robson has embalmed his mem-
CRY in the hearts of our people by
his earnestness and zeal for the con-
version OF sinners. His discourses
are pronounced by all to be among
the finest to which our people have
ever listened. The first four orfve
sermons we're directed to the luke
warm Christians, who he says, stand
between the sinners and Heayen.
The constant increase in the number
of his hearers, is the best evidence
Of the fact that this new distinguish
ed Evangelist, is taking fast hold
upon the hearts of both the sinners,
and christians of this comNunity'
The services were commenced at the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
bat for want of room were moved to |
the Methodist Church on wednesday |
night. 1t is hoped that a great deal
IF coed will be accomplished by
these meetings.
We call attention 10 the an |
of Judge 7. J. Flippin,
for reelection to the position Of |
Judge of this judicial circuit.
Judge Flippin has held this posi-
ton for nearly two terms, and is so
well known to our people as an able
and impartial Judge, that we feel |
that any extended notice of his abili-
ties, and the manner in which he |
has discharged the responsible duties |
to hiaa by the people, is |
altogether unnecessary. His long
experience, and his naturally quick |
perceptive faculties, by which he is
to grasp, readily. any rule
Of law, or question Of evidence
sprung in the course Of trial, render
HIM eminentlY fit for a place on the
bench. That delays occur during |
the course of q trial which, to tn ose
not learned in the law, seem I'M
necessary, we confess, but these de-
lays are generally unavoidable for
the attainment Of the ends of jus
tics. Judge Flippin has made a
host Of friends during the time he
has been on the bench, and will haYe
q strong support for reelection. His
duties Will prevent his meeting
with as many of our people as he
would like, but he bases his claims
to reelection upon his fines fer the
place, and the voters will under
stand why it is that he is unable to
call upon them.
