convene at Bluoficld, West Va, to-day.
This association comprises several Of
the counties of Southwest Virginia, in
Guiding Botetourt, Roanoke, Roanoke
city, Montgomery, Giles and portion
of West Virginia.
At tho First Baptist Church Sunday
night, tho annual report of tho clerk,
Mr.. r. s. Williams was read, naming
the delegates and alternates to the asso-
citation. They are William G. Evans
and Capt. j. II. Wright; altcrnates. w.
Il. Terrill and DR.. G. S. Luck.
Mayor Evans is already at Bluo6cld,
and Captain Wright left yesterday. The
alternates will not attend. Rev. DIR. o.
+. Hippo will be present.
In making his annual report Sunday
night Clerk Williams gave some very
interesting statistics which present a
good showing for this great congrcga-
ton. The report shows the additions
to the church during the year as fol-
lows: Baptism, %; by letter, lO4; expo
rience. 9. Total, 1871. The diminutions
are as follows: Death, .; letters granted,
81; exclusions, 1. Total, o.
Membership 100; female, 234
total, 424, now in good and regular
standing, Explaining tho decrease by
letter, Mr.. Williams says in his report
1--WE deem It proper to add that of the
G1 letters granted So were to mem bers
to organize the Calvary baptist Church,
and seven moro to members TO organize
the church at Vinton; so you sec we
have furnished the members to organize
two new churches during the past year,
and yet we report net increase of 81"
The report showed that SlO.375. Oh had
been paid out by the church board dur
ing the year. 1t further speaks OF tho
building OF the new church, and gives
an estimate OF the value Of the church
property, which is placed it S35, 900. Mr..
Williams report has been transmitted
to tho secretary of tho associa ton and
will doubtless be the most encouraging
read before that body.
Calvary Baptist Church will be repro
sented by the pastor, Dr. c. Il. James,
and Messrs. f. ii. Stewart and Charles
Lunsford as delegates. DR.. James left
yesterday evening for Blucfield. Tho
delgates will leave this morning.

AN OBSTINATE OFFENDER.

William Harsbarger Fined So for Refus-
ing to Remove the Corn Huslss.
William Harsbargcr, huckster at
the city market, was before the mayor
yesterday morning on warrant sworn
out by Walter p. Huff, charging him
with failing to abate a nuisance.
For several days the market master,
the sanitary inspector. and even the
board of health, have noticed heap Of
green corn husks lying in the gutter at
the market. They were under Harsbar-
gers wagon, and he was given orders to
move them at once. IIc swore he would
not comply with the order, and asserted
that no dozen men, or the whole CITY,
could force him to do SO
The order was repeated twice but
without effect. Councilman Huff, of
the health committee, was passing tho
market yesterday morning and noticed
the filth. lie was then informed by
Mr.. Rule, the clerk, that Harsbargcr
refused to comply with the law Mr.
HUFF tried his hand at giving ORDERS
but the obstinate Harsbarger treated
the popular City Father with silent con-
tempt. Ten minutes later he was sorry
of it. Mr.. Huff drew {. warrant him
self and Mr.. Buckner signed it. 1t was
then given to Pete Bower, the sanitary
inspector, who hustled Mr.. IIarsbarger
before the acting mayor in short order
The evidence was conclusive and
Harsbarger was fined So.
1T makes no difference" he said, 81
an going 70 carry it to higher court"
''Pay your fine" said Mr.. Buckner.
1t was then that IIarsharger wanted

He was told this was a cash business
