Back at His Old Place.

Some time ago A. A. Chapman, the
well-known tobacco and cigar dealer at
Seventh and Orange streets, removed to
the country, but still carried on his bust
ness In this city, coming in every day.
AS this was not satisfactory to him, he
moved back to town for the purpose of
being able to devote his entire attention
to his business. Although this was but
a few weeks since, tie increase in his
trade has been wonderful, aud he is now
doing larger business than ever before.
He has made a decided cut in the prices
of all goods in bis line, and is selling
cigars, pipes and tobacco lower than they
can he bought in the large cities. As a
consequence his Wholesale trade is i'm
mense, while his retail business Is con-
stantly increating. He keeps the finest,
best and largest stock of goods In his
line In this State, and is deserving of the
patronage of the public.

change as the state Of his health now inn
pera lively demands.

In thus eevering the pastoral relationship
we bear testimony to the earnest yea.
and selfsacrificing spirit which have
ever characteriz d his labors as pastor
of this church; that we especially
recognize the fact that to his earnest
and unceasing efforts we are largely
indebted for our deliverance from flnan-
clal peril which threatened our very
existence as an organization when he
assumed his pastoral duties; that largely
through his efforts 81, ,000haye been raised
and applied to the debt OF the church over
and above what has been raised from Or
dlnary sources during his ministry with
us; that as an expression of our appre-
citation for the great service he has thus
IT ndered We donate to him parting me-
aud kindly feeling, the sum of $500; that
in thus parting with our pastor we ex-
tend to him our best wishes for the hap

in them, and clerk that goes q spree now and
then need have no fesr of dismissal. He simply
tells them to SOBER up and get to work again IS
fast as possible. Not long since Mr.. Rouss sent q
steam fire engine as present to the town of Win

When any of his employees die he shuta up and
makes everybody join the funeral, providing the
carriages for doing So
