her father, that Miss Vetie Bunch,
the young lady who took the
premium at our fair for the best
crayon portraits, drawn by herself,
is quite improved in health. We
hope for her an early recovery from
the serious sickness which has so
long kept her within the confines of
her own home. She is sister to the
lamented John Bunch, the brilliant
youny lawyer who was cut down on
the threshold, as it were, Of useful
and honoured life and who is remem-

pleasure.
We took the parting hand Of our
good friend, Rev. Ernest Stevens. on
Monday. with as much reluctance as
wcever took the hand of any man in
this community. During his pasto1-
ate here, he has made many lasting
friends and done valiant work for the
church and for the cause he so faith
fully represents. His social life aud
able ministry have contributed to the
pleasure as we'll as benefit of this
entire community. We trust the
Conference may find it to the inter
est of the denomination to return him
again to this field of labor.
Think, Brother, Before You Complain.
