RING, &C, DC.
CHATHAM, July 2S.-The season Of
proiractsd meetings has begun in
New Hope Valley. For a yesk a
most interesting meeting has been
progressing at the Christian church.
at Martha's Chapel, Of which Rev.
DR.. Herndon, is pastor DIR. Hern-
don has strong grip on the affecr
tions Of the people of this valley of
all churches, and very deservedly 50,
for sterling worth, as well as bis zeal
In the minis ry. <...
Our people have been gr atty
pleased and edited by the minlstra-
tions OF Rev. s. b. Knapp, of Gran.
vile. lie has preached every day
for full week at Martins Chapel
to large congregations, who have
been delighted to hear him and form
his acquaintance. lie is very fine
preacher, strong. forceful, and in-
struciiye, and gifted with a clear,
earnest, and pathetic oratory. He
is young minister Of most decided
Al iliiy, and in personal qualities a
model In bis holy calling. He has
made a warm place in the hearts Of
our Chatham people.
On Monday we hsd q very remark
ablasermon from Rev. G. A. Boone,
a most estImable gentleman, living
near Pittsboro, and formally pastor
Of Martha's Chapel. He was illut-
trating some spiritual truth by the
great destitution existing in that Sec
ton extending from Apex TO Lock
vile, and Pittshoro. The descrip
ton was narrowing, and i certainly
had no idea Of such failure Of crops
| in any portion of the county. After
services, | asked him if his sermon
was to be as literally true, and he
told me that he had not overdrawn
| the picture in his sermon: but that
liz was literally true. There will
certaiuly be great restitution in thai
lsectiOu. IF:

Cotton has been helped; but the croT
must be very short. There has been
q most remarkable improvement in
tobacco. Il hardly seems pOss bl.
that the early planting could have
improved so much. Our tobacco
planters are greatly encouraged, and
| If the seasons should be good for the
late planting, there will be, at last, q
fair crtp Of tobacco in this valley,
and probably OF q finer quality than
usually raised here. Our planters

BUSINESS CHANGE.-On last Wednes.
day Messrs Martin & Hampton sold the
Palace Drug Store and their large drug
business and good will to E. A. Ryder
formerly of Pueblo. Colo. The, Palace
Drug Store has been the largest drug es-
tablishment in Western Kansas. and was
one of the earliest business institutions
of Colby, and always in the hands of one
of Martin Bros. To this large stock Mr.
Ryder proposes to add an immense stock
of elegant jewelry, which will make the
store and stock the largest. handsomest
and best assorted of any west of Abilene
and east of Denver. The community is
glad to welcome the enterprise of such
men as Mr.. Ryder who comes among US
highly recommended as skilled drug
gist and pharmacist. With confidence
We assure MIR. Ryder that his enterprise
will meet every recognition on the part
of the people of Colby and Thomas coun

lieves new that this is after all good
place to i've. There is after all some
truth in what an old Baptist minister
once said He affirmed that he always
did believe once in grace always in
grace" and that he never knew man to
'backslide" from Kansas but that he al
ways came back again. The past has
proven this in the majority of cases.
What the people want in Kansas il to
know just what to plant and SOW. how to

Thos. GOodin's preliminary trial came

what Atwood claims he stole, would be |
hard to say. although the suspicion will
be provoked that they intended to make |
it low enough SO that it could easily be
furnished and then induce HIM to jump
his bail. If Thomas GOOdin has any hard, /
