Starr Items,

Rev, S. ). Cowan's series of meetings
closed last Sunday night with about fifteen
accessions to the Church. a goodly num-
ber of Church members, who have not
been living up to their vows were brought
back to their Saviour, and there were
good many who professed to be sane
tilted. This community has not had such
meeting in five or six years: It was re-
ported that this was the meanest place in
quiet as lamb. Starr is not as bad as she
is represented to be.
Capt. VIM. Jones has not been able to

Here 1t is twenty-six years since the war,
and in one day at one place, and We could
not have done that when the war ended,
with all of our army combined. But We
don't get any pensions. If we did we
could raise few thousand any day. I
don't believe any of the Yankees have died
since the war, except few Of the old and
best Generals. I wish they would pension
us so we would not die out so fast. The
old "boys' had pleasant time together
talking over the ups and downs of our
army life. Some Of them we had not seen
since the surrender. They are getting
grey, and the most of them, when asked
to read letter or paper, had to pull out
his spectacles. Yes, thirty years ago we
were boys from seventeen to twenty-five,
now we are getting old and grey. All
have started down the hill of life, and
some are nearly to the bottom. We had
one favorite veteran with US who has pass
ed his three.score and ten, and we had q
letter from one-Who we regret was not
able to meet with us--who is octogena-
rian.
Crops are fine in this vicinity, but lit
tie rain would revive the corn and do 1t
good now.

started up and let him fall, but did not
hurt him seriouely. The balloon went
perhaps hundred feet high, after being
loose, and turned upside down letting the
hot air escape and came down. More
