EcangeListic Work.-Rev. H. H.
Halves, D. D., evangelist of Synod,
has been laboring with marked
success in the Graham and Poca-
hontas fields. He found the church
es feeble and depressed, with little
hope of being able to build houses
of worship. Already, through the
liberality of Christian sympathizers,
he has secured means sufficient to
build a comfortable house at Poca-
hOntas, and is we'll on his way to-
wards building another at Graham.
Rev. j. e. Wool, Presbytery's evan
gelist, made a most interesting re-
port ofrapid development and press
ing need of Christian effort from
the Clinch Valley field. There is
urgent need for the building of at
least three new churches this sum-
mer-at Richards, at Saint Paul,
and at Norton. If we are to pos
sess this vast and most important
field for Presbyterianism, houses of
worship are essential. But as yet
the means are largely wanting.
Scheme for Church Erection.-Pres-
bytery Endorsed the following {:
That associations be formed In cur
churches so far as practicable, bind
ing themselves to pay for this OBJ
ject at least so cents per member,
at the call of the chairman of the

oftener than five time a year, as the
case may demand.

pose of receiving and licensing can

The meeting, with a slight ex-

cause of Christ.

Gods Remembrance Of Us

What comfort there is in the
thought that the Lord does not pi-
vot his remembrance of us on our
remembrance of him. There was a
suggestion of the cause of thankful
ness in the hurried prayer of rough
old Sir Jacob Ashley, at the begin
nlng of the battle of Edgehill, be-
tween the Cavaliers and the Round
heads, two centuries and a half ago :
go Lord, thou knowest how busy
must be this day; if I forget thee,
do not thou forget me ~ We may
at times be so absorbed in thoughts
of self that we forget to ask
Gods blessing, or to thank him for
it when it has been given, but he
goes right ON blessing MS at all
times without waiting for our
prayers or our praises. Yet shallit
be that we are less mindful of God
because of our confidence that God
will never he uumudlu of us1
Ought not Cod never failing re-
membrane of MS to- quicken and iu-
teuslfy our loving remembrance of
Gods S. Times.

1t is good to be made sensible of
our advantages and opportunities,
that we may lay hold on them.
When the kingdom of God comes
nigh us, it concerns us to go forth
to meet it.

THE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL will

Public School Building at Ironton, Mo.
This school is especially designed for
teachers and those who contemplate
teaching and who desire to prepare
themselves for thorough work in the
schoolroom. | want to enroll in this
school a teacher for every district in
the county, want to do this because
feel that know just what you need,
and believe that / can send you away a
stronger and better equipped teacher.
The course will include everything re-
quired by law to be taught in the pub
lie schools of Missouri, and is open for
all who may desire to take it Every
teacher should earnestly and honestly
strive for the three years certificate

eratum without some training other
than that proposed by the four weeks

propose to give you just such work as
will enable you to reach the goal.
Will you profit by the hint, and the
opportunity thus placed before you?

A Murder at Poplar Bluff:

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, April SIN
tense feeling exists here tonight over
the killing this morning of an estima-
able and peculiarly inoffensive young
man by the wild and reckless son of a
prominent citizen under circumstances
which make, in the common opinion, a
most atrocious murder.
Charles Wear, oldest son of Judge
John G. Wear of this circuit. was on a
spree last night, and amused himself
by slapping people with a small stick.
Early in the evening he kicked out the
lantern carried by Ed. Lael, night call
err for the Iron Mountain Railway here.
Laei avoided any trouble, Wear being
known as bad man when drunk.
About / o'clock this morning they met
on the sidewalk, and Wear struck Lael
several times on the shins with a heavy
cane. Lael protested and pushed him
away, and both fell in the mud. There
was little scuffie and Lael ran, with
Wear after him, swearing he would
kill Lael. For nearly an hour the one
hid and the other hunted like hare and
hound.
Wear tried many places for revolv-
er, and finally obtained one. When
Lael came to the depot platform after
his hat and to resume his duty as caller
Wear walked across the street and shot
him in the left tempel- Lael died at
$50 and Wear was lodged in Jail.
An inquest was held and a verdict of

Last Sunday was day long to be
on account of high waters.
East Fork was almost past fording on
in the evening, and was
still higher during the night.
The snow and rain have caused the
farmers to be very late with their work.
A great many are not done sowing oats
and very few have any corn ground
broken yet.
But being late with the work is not
the only draw back about the heavy
rains; very few of the boys could go
to see their girls, Sunday.
Misses Minnie and Lizzie McNail are
aiming to leave here soon. Sorry they
do not think of ever returning; so is

FROM IMBODEN.

IMBoDEN, Black River, April 4, 1892.
We are at this time having the larg-
est flood we have had for several years.
The roads are torn up badly, and some
fences washed away; but our farmers
will soon fix the fences, and the road
will be all right in a short time.
Our little creek, the Imboden, is
well settled with good men. generally
with small farms. Corn is the princi-
pal crop; wheat and grass do we'll; fine
range in summer. Cattle and hogs do
well in the woods. We have fine
fruit and plenty of wild nuts and ber-
ries. We have good water, and good
health-some of us are Methodists, and
some Baptists, but we all work together
for the upbuilding of the Masters
Kingdom.
We hear that James Fitzgerald is go
ing to organize Kaolin township into
a S. S. Association in the near future.
His post-otfice is Belleview. Well,
Mr.. Editor, we have nothing to say of
our neighbors.
The REGISTER is highly priced here.
The most of the people are Demo-
Gratis. We are fixing up some few
young folks for school-teachers. and
wish them success.
Old uncle Jemey Thomson is run
ming for roadoverseer, and we will do
all we can for him. He is a good,
honest citizen.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is doing a large
amount of work for the Iron Mountain
Company in piling and pine charcoal.

way to the waste-basket, you may hear
