4 Missionary station.

TIE OAsIs is informed that the local committee of the Presbyterian Church. which has charge of the church interests in Arizona, consist ing Of Reverend l. T. Whittemore of Reverend Billman of Tucson and Rev erend McCallum of Phoenix. have recommended the appointment by the Board of Home Missions of d new missionary in the Arizona jurisdic- tion with headquarters at Arizola. Reverend Henry NJ Thompson, of Minneapolis Minnesota. has been rec commended by the committee, ard it is anticipated that he will be commis- stoned and sent on by the Board of Home Missions in a very short time. In his new work Reverend Thompson will divide his time. giving Arlzola and Casa Grandc the first and third Sundays, Gila Bend the fourth. Peoria the second, and when there is fifth Sunday in a month it will be given to Peoria also. This recogni- tion of these points, by this great evangelical body speaks for the growth of Southern Arizona, and shows plainer than words can tell the lines of her development.
 When Mir Thompson enters upon his work services at Arizola will be held in the present school building for time; but in very short time plans will be formulated and put into execution for handsome church building to cost several thousand dollars.

TEE OASIS frequently receives let ters Of inquiry about Arizola. and as general answer in reply tO such in- quirics, will say that Arizola is a town on the Southern Pacific Railway where the Florence lrrigating Canal crosses the track. Three years ago 1t was a desert; today there is q railway sta tion at which all passenger trains of the Southern Pacific stop regularly, a telegraph office, a post office, an cx- press office. hotel, store, q schoOi- house. printing office, q stock yard and chute for shipping cattle, and thrifty and cnterprising community, with a newspaper, TIE OASIS, to speak for them. Three years ago the spot on which ArizOla stands was taken up as desert lard, for which the govern ment was paid one dollar and twenty five cents per acre. Today town lots are selling rapidly from enc hundred dollars up, aud cultivated land sur rounding the town is worth from forty to sixty dollars an acre and upward. That is what has been done at Arizola in three years. Come and join in the grand work of making Arizola pros- porous city. We have the most fer tile farming land in the United States, and a health giving climate not sur passed in the world.

To Attract Hone-Seekers.

Mr.. R. E. Grubbs, of Greenville, met
the citizens of Newberry on last Wed
nesday afternoon and explained al i'm
migration scheme which be has worked
up in different counties in the State.
He represents the Western Advocate,
an illustrated immigration paper, pub
lished in Chicago by G.. r. Camp,
with 10000 circulation. He charges
S25 for a monthly write-up of toWr
and county for a year in each issue o..
the Western Advocate. Mr.. Grubos
said the class of immigrants he wished
to attract are those known as home
seekers, and the write-up will give such
such information about Newberry-de-
scription of soil and products, factories,
climate, agricultural advantages, etc.,
as those home-seekers are desirous of
knowing. Mr.. Grubb said that Mr..
Camp has special contracts with the
railroads by which he runs excursions
going into his scheme.
A committee consisting of Mayor
Jones, Col. W. H. Hunt and Mr.. j.
N. Johnstone was appointed to solicit
subscriptions. They went around on
Thursday morning and raised the
necessary amount among the citizens
of Newberry.
The plan is no doubt good cne and
the class of immigrants it seeks to at
tract is the one most desired in the
South.

Fine Fish Fry, Fun and Erolic.

Sheriff Riser and Mr.. James Dunbar
returned last Saturday night from a
fishing expedition, and report one of
the finest times they have ever had.
1t was at Squire Bill Longs pond in
the O'Neall section. They went to
Mr.. Longs Friday afternoon and spent
the night with him. Wanting fish for
breakfast they went to the pond that
night and in short time caught few
ten pounds. But it was not until
next day that the real fun, the battle
Of the German carp, began. Our
sheriff says it was lively. After sein-
ing around awhile they brought up
rouser; it weighed twenty pounds; it
was a hustler from the deep. They
dragged the net ashore and Jim fought
like good fellow for that fish. Sheriff
says you ought to have seen him f1oun-
dering around on the bank and tus-
sling with his fshship. He secured
him, but Sheriff says Jim swore be
only succeeded after stabbing the fish
to the heart. Some folks say fish
has no heart, but Dunbar says if that
fish didn't have a heart e ''come
mighty near knowing it," That Twill
be all right,"] Mr.. Riser says the
fish was little over nine years old,
and that Mr.. Long had three of the
same sort in the pond. They also
caught three large turtles.
The sheriff says they left Mr.. Dun
bar to do the cooking land he is one
of the best fish cooks in the country,
as he knows his business), while they
went off and witnessed baptizing.
Sheriff Riser says he is so well
pleased with his trip that be is glad he
accepted the invitation of his friend
Long, whose hospitality is unbounded.

Attention is directed to the attractive
announcement of the Ohio Chemical
Company. But first read the follow
ing and you will be convinced, if you
are slave Of the tobacco habit, that
you need to be cured. DR.. E. Cheney,
a celebrated medical authority, says:
Experiments made on seven healthy
person not addicted to the smoking,
conducted for some days without
smoking, and then the same number
of days with the use of twenty-five
cigaretts each day, gave the following
results, and the same with chewing:
l. Tobacco increases the gastric juice,
but diminishes it's acidity and so its
digestive quality, Diminished acidlty
begets indigestion and hatulenoy, and
is equally harmful with abnormal ex-
cess of acidity.
2. The free hydrochloric acid is also
diminished and its useful work de-
creased.
3. Tobacco Injuries the activity of The
rennet properties of the stomach Juice,
and so hurts ne work of these species
of useful ferment.
Thus both chewing and smoking
alike interfere with the normal pro-
cesses of the stomach. Hence indiges-
tion and dyspepsia are common among
tobacco users, and the frequent resort
to tobacco for dyspepsia is abnormal,
being contrary to science and must be
deprecated.
Thelogic science denounces tobacco
in the treatment ofderanged stomachs,
except, possibly, where there is too
great aoidity, In all cases where there
is wish to keep the healthy digestive
organs in their normal condition and
functions, both smoking and chewing
must be avoided. =.

Rev. Mr.. Wait of the Methodist
Church preached at the chapel last
Sunday night. His theme was self
examination. The sermon was plain,
practical, thoroughly scriptural and
brief. The standard of Christian char
acter was revealed and the tests ap-
piled to the inmost consciousness. The
Speaker entreated his hearers to scru-
tinize their hearts, minds and con-
sciences deeply, and both earnestly and
thoroughly, that they might determine
at once and finally, the important
matter, whether they be in the faith
a faith that is fixed, firm as an anchor
within the cleft of the rock, and pro-
nounced forever. SANS SOUCI.

POINTERS FOR NEWEEKHIANS.
DR.. Holland Wants Help for the New Buil'l-
ing on the Campus-Some of the
Benefits Of Newberry College.

To the People Of Neu6erry:
Sixteen years ago you generously
gave the handsome sum of $4,000
toward the relocation Of Newberly
College in your midst. During these
years about one hundred young men
have been graduated from the college
most of whom are engaged in useful
occupation in this and other States.
At least 500 different students have
been enrolled during this time. The
average attendance has been nearly
100, the number Of students from
abroad has averaged over 50. The
amount of money left by them in New
berry has not been less, perhaps con-
siderably more, than $50 each ; max
ing the annual expenditure in your
town of at least $500. Multiply this
amount by IL. and you will have the
snug sum of Sl20,000. In addition to
this, the interest on endowments paid
toward the support of the college has
averaged about $1,000. This adds up
nearly $40, 900, which put to the former
sum makes $4,000. These figures
show that the enterprising people of
Newberry made good financial in
vestment in their successful bid for the
college in 1877.
a new building is now necessity to
meet the growing demands Of the COL
lege. Many of you have received
through the mail a statement of this
need, accompanied with an appeal for
help toward the erection of this build
ing. Some have kindly responded to
this call and others have promised to
do so. The money will not be needed
before October or November.
The Standing Committee of the col
lege earnestly solicits all who are in
terested in the college to send in
pledges before June 10th, so that the
Trustees of the College, at :heir annual
meeting on June 18th, may be able to
authorize the erection of the building.
A collection for this purpose will be
asked on Sunday and Wednesday of
Commencement week, The amounts
contributed on these occasions will be
used solely for the purpose named.
But it is hoped that many pledges
will come before that time.
On behalf of tha Standing Commit
tee, I am yours sincerely,
G. w. HOLLAND.

Cyclone in Anderson.

From a gentleman who has just re-
turned from Anderson County, we learn
that the section of that county near
Starr Station on the Savannah Valley
Railroad was visited on Sabbath night
by very destructive cyclone. On the
farm of Press Allen, a rich planter,
twenty-seven tenant houses were blown
down, one small negro killed, and
others seriously injured.
On the farm of Doc Jones, another
large planter, every house on bis place,
tenant houses, barns, stables, &C., were
all blown down, the dwelling was not
blown down but was much damaged.
Corn and fodder was scattered ell about
the country. At another farm many
of the houses were injured. A tree was
blown down with great violence against
the dwelling breaking the side of the
house and tearing it to pieces, and even
bed in the second story, which some of
the family had just vacated, was torn
all to pieces. The track of the cyclone
seemed to be about one and half miles
wide. News of the injury to other Sec
tions was being received when our in
formant left.
