The Church is In very 1lourishing con:

him.
The Sunday School at this place Is in
very fo,irishing condition under the
eupe:intendalce Of Mr.. NJ. 8. Strickland,

ton variety, which has been gathered, and
measured fo.ty-eight bushels. Jap. mas
good corn crop, and is not slow on the
cotton line. The crops in th:.t neighbor-
hood are generally good, but the outcome is
not thougk6 to bs as good as was sup.
posed six weeks ago. In the Hickory Flat

curtail the orop seriously. Ne see that
the Uniyersi ty farm at Colu abba, which
was q com oetitor for the Cle thousand
dollar premium acre of corn: has fallen
down to about fifty bushels OF course
that rules; out. Mr.. Garrison, OF the
Denver neighborhood. only Gains about
one hundred bushels on his premium
acre, but thiaks if tie expense Of cultiva-
ton was T., be considered, he would
stand better chance. Mr.. Bin. Perry, of
Greenyille, Las premiam aero which it
was thought two months ago would
make one hnndred and seventy bushels,
has failed o. account of too much rain IN
August, being on bottom land. So that
it seems the Marlboro man, on his sandy
upland loan. will take the prize so far as
this State is concerned.
Startling, J..t true. Mr..Norris in his ex.
ce...r;lt address at The Walker ID cElmoyle
Institute recently said that th., negroes OF
the State were taxing more interest IN
education than the whites; that the Claf-

one of the best educational institutions In
the State, 10 pronounced b. Governor
Richardson himself; that while the State
University hid some two hundred, Cla1in
had her nine hundred; that all our color,

Z The annual Campmeeting at Sandy
Springs has come and gone. The attend
ance was good throughout and an inn
mense crowd was there Sunday. The
ministerial force was ample, and q num-
ber of COOL sermons calculated to bring
fruit in atttr days were prea ched. Up to
noon Mon day there were sleven access
sions and about twenty conversions. The
Pastor, RsV. N. B. Clarksop, assisted by
Rev. 8. J. Cowan, an evangelist from Cow
,ington, Ga, will protract the meeting, and
doubtless great good will be accomplished.
