wILLINGTON.
 The Methodist Episcopal church in Wilmington will celebrate their fiftieth anniversary on the last Sunday in the month, the 25th. They had planned for this celebration last spring, but the sud den death of their pastor, Rev. F. c. Newell, broke up their plans at that time. All old pastors, members and friends are cordially invited to be present. Services will commence at 1.30 p. m. If the above date should be stormy the services will be postponed until the first pleasant Sun- day following.
