There seems TO be a general resolve on

ly right in view Of the actions OF Eastern
manufacturers. One OF the institutions
which should be droppedis Montgomery

our stores give preference to goods Of
Western make. Bankers should reduce
their deposits in Eastern banks, and

The following appears in the Baptist
Standard. OF August II. from tho pen OF
DIR. Liinkin, who lecture1 here some
weeks ago:
1T was my delightful privilege to visit
the beautiful and thrifty little city OF
Delta, situated at the iuIct;oa OF the
Uncompahgrc and Gunnisol valleys.
These arc the most fertile yaliays OF Col
orado. lying in the great fruit valleys Of
the state. and Delta, though not TIE
largest is yet the most promising in tb;s:
part OF the state. Here there is wide
awake and thriving Baptist church. o,
which my old time friend. Rev. N. +.
Hoyt. is pastor. Bro. Hoyt was emf
ncntly successful in Canon City. an3
since taking the work here the church
has grown marvelously in tvo-fold
respect. There have becn some i'm
portant material improvements. Near
the neat little house OF worship llss been
erected. under the present pastors dircc-
ton. n large and handsome brick pa.-
sonaEe, which furnishes pleasant home
Tor the pastors family. But where this
material advancement has been made
the spiritual is more. No church could
do otherwise than grow spiritually under
the personal influence ard work of suc,,
a pastor as Bro. Hoyt. L. the las. year
til . membership las rearly doubled, and
the conmsadab!e feature is that almost
all the accessions have been by taptism.

A Joke On Quay,

"Thtee years ago party Of gentlemen
including Senators Bate of Tennessee
Eustis Of Louisiana, Mcpherson of New
Jersey, and Quay of Pennsylvania, went
over into Virginia from Washington on I
hunting expedition, said Horace g. Rowe
of Richmond, Va, At the Laclede. "While
out in the woods one day they ran across
negro Methodist camp.meeting in full
blast. Mcpherson and Quay had never
witnessed such . thing before, 80 they
put up their guns and loafed around the
camp-grounds all day listening to the
weird incantations Of the negroes and to
the shouts and exhortations of the presid-
ing cider, who occupied the pulpit. Sen
ator Eustis concluded he would have
some fun. He went to one Of the more
intelligent negroes and explained to him
thst be wanted to put up job on Senator
Qusy. He borrowed the negros watch,
and while the Pennsylvania wasn't pay
ing any attention to his surroundings
the Louisiana Senator slipped il in his
(Quay's) pocket. Presently the negro
raised row about having having lost his
watch and called upon the Constable,
who was on the grounds, to help him find
the thief. He pointed out Senator Quay
and said that he had brushed up against
him two or three times. The Constable
went to Quay and told him that his con.
duct had been suspicious, aud as q watch
had been lost he would have to search
him. The Senator became furious.
"'Well, if you haven't got it there will
be no harm done by searching you SAID
the Constable.
"Quay consented and the watch was
found. That was embarrassing, Of course,
but he said to the officer:
"I am not thief. Ny name is Sena-
tor Quay. Ask those gentlemen point.
