thus uniting with the Presbyterian church
in carrying on this glorious work Rev.
Mr., Bachman, of Knoxville, has preached
with great power and effectiveness and
the results, under the blessings Of God,
have been most gratifying. The churches
have been strengthened in zeal and fer
vency, while many non-professors of re-
ligion have come out on the side of
Christ. 1t has been most gracious season
of refreshing grace and visitation Of the
Holy Spirit. The meetings morning and
night have been crowded by attentive con-

this people by Rev. Mr.. Bachman, will
prove sustaining food to renewed Christ

people thank Mr.. Bachman profoundly for
his appreciated visit and the grand and
glorious work he did here for the Master.
He will always find a warm place in the
hearts of our people.

Our Alpharetta friends are anxious to
know whether our citizens intend to help
them build a railroad from that place to
Marietta. 1t is an enterprise that would
be of great benefit to our town and coun.
ty, and we hope our people will see their
way clear to render substantial aid in sub.
scriptions to the contemplated enterprise.
The committee of which Col. Geo. F. Go,
Der is chairman, will gladly receive sub
scriptions for the road and will wait on
our citizens for that purpose. Z
