A pleasant reception was given Rev. j..
P, Stump, by his congregation at the
Methodist church last Wednesday eve
ming. The reception address was made by
Judge E D. Newman, and responded to
by Rev. J. P. Stump. The meeting was

We regret to announce the death of
Mrs. Sarah f. Hisey mother of Nr. E. L.
Hisey, Editor of the Edinburg Sentinel
who died at his home IN Ednburg, on
Friday morning, Avril 9th, aged 6S years,
: months and % days. She had suffered
from consumption for many months, and
was confined to her bed since Christmas.
She was truly a good woman, and will be
sincerel, mourned by her devoted
children and a very large circle of rela-
tiyes and friends.
The Brass Band from Headquarters
visited town on Monday last and enter
timed the large Courtday crowd by
playing ieces from the porch in front
of the Geary House. They also went
around the streets in different parts of
the town, and ssrenaded our people, who
greatly appreciated their music and the
kindness that prompted them. They
played very well for the short time they
have been organized. Our people will
be glad to welcome them back again at
anytime.
We notice IN the Lynchburg Adrdnce
that Westminster Presbyterian church
of which Rev. r. H. Flemming is pastor
is in a hourishng condition. 1t numbers
three hundred and forty five members,
has paid all expenses, and the church
year closes with balance In the treasury.
The church also raised neatly thousand
dollars for missionary and educational
purposes. 1t has assisted other cOngrega-
tions and has cared for special work in
China and Mexico.
Six or seven horse buyers were on hand
Monday, court day, and the horse market
was tolerably brisk, although prices were
Only a shade better than at March court.
As far as we can learn thirty two horses
were sold at prices ranging from S30 to
800, but candor compels US to say that
the stock offered did not average up to
the usual quality. Our people must try
to raise good. stylish drivers and road
sters, as they are the only kinds that Will
sell readily at fair prices.
The Wilson Bill Won't Pass, but G. w.
Bragg, the old reliable Music Dealer, OF
20 years standing has taken off the
tariff nevertheless, and if you want q
piano, or an organ, or a stool, invest
cent in a postal card and write him and
save many dollars.
Jus. received, this week, direct from
the factory a car load. No middlemen''
commission to pay, but you get them al
the factory price. Address
