Investigate and Report.

While investigating the various
county Offices, we think it would
be we'll for the grand jury which
meets next week to examine the
county dispensary at this place
and make report of its workings
and management. 1t is a new
feature in our government, and
should have the patient and con-
scientlous attention of the grand
inquisitors of the county. The
people generally are entitled to
know, officially, how the dispensary
is being run, how it operates as a
reform measure, and also of it's
revenue, if any.

just like a niger; you has white
skin, but, thank God, you has a

Brother Jones, and help him to
preach; and, O Lord, when he
stands before Thee a wretch un-
done, have mercy upon him, and

As the day approaches for the

Methodist Church that restricts
the length of a pastorate at one
place to four years immutable? Ii
not: it is hoped. that some means
may be devised to keep this popu-
lar and indefatigable worker among
us. 1t would be invidious to say
that Mr.. Watson has done more
for Methodism in Edgefie.d in
