PROSPERITY LETTER.

Little doing in the cotton business,
in fact it is nearly all sold. y good style
of middling commands about 10! cts.
Farmers are still busy hauling fertil-
izers from town. The quantity is sim
ply enormous.
On next Sunday night, there will he
services in Grace church. Rev. NJ. J.
Epting will officiatr and an opportu-
nity to unite with tie church will be
given to those who desire to take this
all important step. May many come.
The fruit is not all killed yet, and the
prophecy Of our worthy Pomaria friend,
mo fruit this year," may be like some
of Virgins prophecies-c"nle short.
Our Pomarian, however, is "banking'
heavily on the blackberry and pcrs!m-
mon crops.
Adam Sigh, an old co!ore'l man, liv-
ing on Jacob Bedenbaugh's place, died
suddedly last night. He retired appar-
entity we'll, and about II O'Clock was
dead. The Coroner is now holding
an inquest over his body.
We learn from the Mission News,
that the Sunday School Of Grace
Church, is the "Banner School, Of the
Synod, it having given more per capi-
tai than any other school, thereby en-
titling it to 24O certificates Of member
ship. While this school has outstripped
all others, and we are ali we'll proud Of
the fact, yet the amount given is small,
very small, in comparison to Gods
favors to US, and in comparison to what
we could and ought to give for the
spread of the Gospe! of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
The cold chilly weather o. yesterday
and today has dispellcd the fears Of
Virgins cyclone, and people of a
cyclonic temperament are resting more
calmly and serenely.
The Y. NJ. C. :. at this place is not
that live institution that it has been
and ought now to be, and we do not
hesitate in throwing the responsibility
upon the older members and officers.
Quite a number of the younger men,
bers have been loyal to their organiza-
ton, and have met week after week
without head or leader, and the re-
suit is that they are becoming very
much discouraged and disheartened,
and we do not blame them, when the
officers and older members in good
standing in the church are habitually
and continuously absent. Feed my
lambs
Mrs. NJ. E. Kohn, while returning
from visit to sick relative yesterday,
in a buggy with her three little grand
children, was, with the least child,
Ernest Samuel, thrown violently from
the buggy by the horse becoming
frightened and unmanageable. Fortu-
nately the shafts to the buggy both
broke lose when the horse made the
first dash, and the two older children
remained in and unhurt Little Ernest
Samuels injuries are very slight, but
Mrs. Kohn's are very painful; though
not serio1s. 1t is supposed that one or
two ribs are broken, besides being
bruised and hurt otherwise.
The protracted services in the A. R.
P. Church here, which have been con-
Quoted by Evangelist Orr, will close to-
night. The attendance al these meet
ings has been good and at times large,
and we feel sure that much good has
been done. The preacher, while elo-
quent, is at the same time plain and
uncompromising in his denunciation
of sin and sinful practices. He cries
aloud and spares not. He strips sin Of
all its gaudy attire. and presents its
hideous form in its bare state. The
evangelist has certainly accomplished
much and lasting good, and has made
for himself many friends, and not only
for himself; ne has made many better
and warmer friends for Jesus, which is
his only purpose. IUBE.
