are badly needing rain and without some
we will feel it very much in the prospec-

week with Mountain Rose, and Troth S
Early close at hand aud are praying for
good prices to prevail so that we may all
derive some benefit from them.-Despite

from all reports, yet for all that camp
meetings seem to lose none of their mag
netism.-The FIRST excursion of the sea

of the privilege and take look and dip
