MAGNOLIA, \. e., Nov. 9th, 1886.
| This writer left Ingold on the
9TH inst in the interest Of THE
CAUCASIAN. The people around
Lisbon were found busy as bees
at their respective works.
iSpringvale church is about com
pIeted and Mr.. a. J. johnson of
Taylors Bridge has nearly fin
ished repairing his mills. Near
Way Cross the people are losing
their hogs with cholera.
Over the Duplin line the peo-
pie we're found busily employed
and satisfied with their crops
with the exception of cotton.
Many of them are paying speci-
al attention to stock laising and
fruit culture-two industries that
Our people should give more
attention to. 4 great deal of
syrup is made in this section
and we saw three men who had
rnade together 1900 gallons.
On Friday morning the StIi,
we repaired to Warsaw to wit
ness the laying Of the corner
Istone Of the NJ. E. Church.

delivered the address of well
come, which was we'll delivered
and well received. Prof. Mer-
rift was responded to by Presid-
ing Elder f. D. Swindell in a
pleasant and timely address.
Rev. W. S. Greasy, the able
and eloquent pastor of Grace
Church, Wilmington, was then
introduced and delivered the
masonic address. His theme
was "MasoDry and Christianity"
and was handled in a mastery
style, as Mr.. Greasy handles
Everything he undertakes. We
wish we could give his address
verbatim. After Mr.. Creasy's
address the vast concourse of
people repaired to the grove in
front OF the college, where a
table near 200 yards in length
was laden with inviting dilica
cies prepared and spread by the
kind ladies of Warsaw and
vicinity. 1t was indeed one of
the grandest feasts this writer
has ever Witnessed and after the
multitude had been sumptuous-

be remember with pleasure by
all who we're present aud the

thanked at the same time for
the handsome manner In which
