The prayer meeting of last Wednes
-day.evening was very refreshing.
A large congregation was disap
pointed by the non-appearance o.
Rev. Mr.. Miles, who was expected tc
preach here last Sabbath morning
However, the nice music and singing
supplied by our popular young or
ganlst, Miss Bessie Brashear, was q
source of delightful pleasure, and the
congregation seemed fully compensa-
ted tor their coming.
Mr.. w. H. Todd paid our little
town a visit this week.
Miss johnny Stocks, a charming
young lady of our community, took
her departure few days since. to
visit relatives in Camden, Ark. We
wish her a pleasant but short visit.
The enterprising Mr.. W. T. Gentry
is very busily engaged in improving
his town residence and overlooking
his plantation. Mr. Gentry is entire
" New(man) since his recent stay
at Waverly. 80.
1t is with feeling Of sadness we
write the deaths which occurred with
in the last four days at our neighbor-
ing town, Oak Ridge. Miss Ida
Cooper, a lovely, promising young
daughter of Mr.: Jim Cooper, aged l6
years.
Mrs. Barham, the remarkable deaf
ard dumb lady, better known as
Aunt Sallie, died 18th inst. aged 76
years.
Mrs. ]. c. Nettles, after long and
painful illness, died on 10Th. Mrs.
Nettles was daughter of Mr.. D. D.
Morgan, of this place, and the hearts
of her many friends will gr;eve in
sadness when the intelligence of her
early death is received.

IRIFTS FROM DE. HI

On Thursday, the l4th inst, tn,
whistle of the steamer, II. ]. Dickey
was heard and several of our young
men boarded her at the bridge anc
had the pleasure of a ride up t.
"Purvis' landing, which they say
fully repaid them for the muddy wall
of mile and a half in the dark, back
to town, but We don't believe every.
thing they say.
The steamer drif'ed back early on
Saturday morning, pleased at her
success in obtaining full freight, and
happy in the reflection that several
seasons would elapse before the COM
pletion of the Louisiana and Arkan-
sas Railroad.
Mr.. Frank Brown and lady, OF
Bolton, Miss, stopped over day, the
guests of DR.. Brumby. Mr.. Brown is
on his way to Texas where he contem-
plates making his future home. We
bespeak for him and his handsome
young wife, pleasant home in that
large and prosperous State.
On Sunday, at the Presbyterian
church, We were most happily enter
tanned by an excellent sermon by the
Rev. j. W. Mosely. The load of sin
presses more lightly upon ones heart
after hearing that able Theologian
dispense the word of Gcd.
Miss Person, of Tallulah, is visiting
our city, the guest of Miss Gordie

Our friend, Col. ]. w. Draughon, Of
Goshen, came down on Monday and
took the train for the Gulf Coast,
where he will remain some months,
for the purpose of recuperating his
impaired health. We wish him a
pleasant and beneficial trip.
Well, the Anniversary Ball of the
X. of P. is over, and all are happy,
for it proved most brilliant and
successful affair. The supper was
most bountiful, and the most ele-
gantly gotten up that Delhi ever
spread, and the large assembly of
invited guests, apparently the most
refined that ever congregated at
Castle hall. 1t seemed as though all
the beauty and chivalry of this and
our sister parishes had assembled to
do honor to the occasion. We can
not undertake to individualize the
beauty enrolled in their many
elaborate and costly costumes that
graced the occasion.
