All those interested in Sabbath schools
will be glad to hear that furnishing
school of more than SO scholars, under
the efficient management OF Mr. 1 U
Stewart, has been organized at Bethlehem
church. The senior classes are instructed
by Mr.. R. F. Fore, Miss Mary Southworth
and Miss Vic. Wetberford, Mr. Williams
being secretary. Sunday schools, next to
the bible, are our greatest safeguards
against lawlessness, infdelity and other
crimes Of all description, and we should
encourage them in every possible way.
News items are scarce at present; far
mers, their sons, wives and daughters all
being too busy to visit their neighbors,
and hence the itemizer finds but little
work. We have been having an abun-
dance of rain.
Farmers are all complaining of the raw
ages of the busy cut worm on their cotton
corn and other crops the past cool rights
There will be plenty of fried chickens

this season from all accounts.
The Rev. Mr.. Rogers preached an able
sermon at Bethlehem last Sunday. Mex

An incident in connection with the
visit of DR.. Graves is worth records
ing: Mrs. Gee, wife of our circuit
clerk, had in her possession an old
time daguerreotype of DR.. Graves
taken 40 years ago. Her father and
DR.. Graves were warm friends and
this picture was the souvenir of that
friendship. 1t was treasured by Mrs
Gee on account of its associations,
and it was with some pride as well
as pleasure that she called on DR..
Graves during his stay here, and
showed him the old picture, still
sharp and clear. DIR. Graves was SO
gratifed that his emotions almost
overcome him, and as he had nc
picture of himself as he was in bis
young days he wanted this for his
children, and the good lady cheerful
ly parted with it, heartily enjoying
the pleasure it afforded the veteran
