wIngo closed his two weeks meeting
here last night, and although the meeting
did not result, so far ss the plumber Of
conversions are concerned, IN anything
like large accessions 70 the churches Of
the city, yet It Is thought that a vast deal
OF good has been done. Many who
seemed 10 have grown cold in the cause
have become warmed up, and religious
matters seem 20 weara new aspect Ia our
community In closing his sermon last
night Dr. Wingo took occasion 90 speak
10 high terms Of the people " wills
Point, as well as for their uniform eour-
tesy aud kindness, as Tor their good be-
hayi0r snd evident interest.
Considerable rain has fallen during the
past few weeks, and farm work Is con-
siderabiy retarded, but the wArfl sun
shine Of the past few days is bringing
vegetation 10 life and viger and rapid
growth The fruit crop was badly dam
aged By the cold snap and cannot fully
recover from II.
Cotton Is still coming IN, notwitb-
standing one would think that the season
ought 10 be over Nearly TWO hundred
bales have been brought IN during the
last tNo weeks Il hgn been held over

In the shape Of high prizes, would strike

no demsnd az all, the owner brings II in
10 sell it for what be can get for Il. This
ought 10 convince any man that cotton
should be marketed jus. as soon IS il is
ready for market.
District court has been IN session for
two weeks ~ Canotn, the county seat Of
this county. but nothing 81 very great
interest has trsnspired. The grand Jury
has claimed the attention % the law
breakers AMI ncnOpol.zsd the time Of
many OF our citizens, who are psTiicipat-
Ing IN lis deliberations. Our county has
been quiet, 80 far as criminal matters are
concerned, and there Will certainly DC
nothing NOR. than petty matters 20 claim
the attention OF the grand jury.

The question gs 90 who viii 49, the
Offices for the ensuing terms IS attracting
attention, and some good men have
offered for the various offices thus early
IN The campaign. TIE alliances have
considered this question, and some local
organizations have taken different sides,
some being in favor Of putting full
ticket In the deld, while Others have OPP
posed making the order the vehicle for
the political aspirations Of the men who
have lacked the merit To secure support
from the people heretofore. The man
who has the good of the order at heart,
aud whose judgment is not warped by
prejudice and the revolutionary spirit Of
the times, can see that to take politics
into the order is simply to doom 1t to
destruction

ability, as well as Of his public and pri-
yate life.
