Gently. The 17h instant, was the Chris.
tains' accepted day Of rest and our friend
industriously laboring under the impress
sion that il was Saturday, ploughed the
entire day, and congratulated himself al
the close of the same for the days work
The following day 18th, Monday-he
fixed himself up in his Sunday go to meet
ing clothes and repaired to church Just
before he arrived, however, he met a gen.
tleman who, after ascertaining his objective
point, very kindly informed him of his
mistake, and his surprise and confusion
may better be imagined than expressed
here We have been reliably informed
that our friend has invited several nearby
neighbors to take him down to the Pine
some Saturday afternoon ard give him a
good kicking. Our sympathy.
We are gratified 10 know that the mam-
bers of st. Michers church have signified
their willingness to erect a hall and a quit

lyman is in charge and we understand that

Farmers are progressing remarkably
well, saving fodder, tops, and housing to-

Gail, Mr.. Walter B. Langley, the true and
tried friend Of poor Confederates, and the

Representative politicians of both parties

conversation relative to the candidates of
the democratic party is not sullied by un-

spoken Of in the highest terms. Il there be
dissatisfaction il must be sought outside of

A number of arrests for illegal longing
have been made, and we note that Justice
James Roach's fatherly counsel to the class
named has been productive of good. Money
has been forwarded to the Hub" and
