The "Original Negro Minstrels" filled
their engagement at Pennington on the Sth

The Baptists, assisted by Rev. Ellege, of
Poplar Bluff, held protracted meeting here
last month. There were fourteen converts
and several additions to the church. Bro.
Elege is severe or rather on the war-path
with saloons and whiskey drinkers, espec-
tally church members. He says any church
member that will sign 4 petition or 90 in a
saloon, and take drink is not worthy of the

temperance, and he made it hot for the
whiskey drinkers. He will preach here

cablegram to his mother, Mrs. G. r

was not wholly unexpected as she was in
frequent receipt of letters and cablegrams
announcing his severe illness. Last Novem-
Der he had severe attack of pneumonia,
but partially recovered, and faithful to his
duties returned to his desk, causing re-
lapse and hemorage of the lungs, from which
he never recovered. The letters and cable
grams to his mother gave her assurance of
his resignation and faith in a blessed imor-
tally beyond the grave. He was raised in
the Catholic Church. Sometime ago he
wrote his mother that he chad taken the
blessed sacrament and should continue to do
so, that he was happy and ready at any
time" And died in the faith of his child
hood. Young Robertson was resident of
this Valley, raised at Arcadia, and had an

many friends and associates, who will be
grieved to learn of his early demise, cut down

Morgan County Jail Condemned.

The State Board of Health. on the re-
port and recommendation of the health
officer of Morgan county. has con-
DENIED the Jail at Martinsville. 1t
is old, damp. badly ventilated,
and poorly constructed. with an insufficient
number of cells. Two of the grand jury
men who recently inspected it are sick
with the typhoid fever, and the sheriff of
the county is confined TO his bed. The
disease of each one is attributable to the
condition of the jail. The owners of the
Wabash x Erie canal have been ordered by
the board TO remove distractions from the
canal near Lafayette. A small culvert
there causes continual overflow and pre-
vents the drainage of lands.
