The Methodist Meeting.

The meeting continues at the Methodist
church with unabated interest. Some forty
young people, mostly children, have professed
convertion, and Others are deeply concerned.
Rev. Gibson is fluent talker and an interes-
ting and instructive teacher of the word. He
is ably assisted by Rev. Rice, the pastor.
The church is usually packed with attentive
listeners at night while fair audiences attend
the afternoon services. The several Ie-
nominations are assisting in the meeting,
but none of the other pastors are present.
The doors OF the church have not yet been
opened for the reception of new converts and
we suppose will not be till near the close of
the meeting. We are not advised as to when
the meeting will close. We hope it will con-
tinue as long as there is prospect of good
being accomplished.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
Central Office. Columbia. No.


During the first three days of the
week ending Saturday, April 21st,
the conditions were much more fa-
vorable for growing crops than for
sometime previoue and vegetation
made rapid advancement until
checked by the low temperature that
prevailed during the latter half OF
the week. The rainfall was princ:
pally local in character, and while
the average for the state was very
near the normal there was a marked
excess in the eastern portion with q
corresponding deficiency in the west
erp portion. In the northwest, and
in many counties of the northeast
and central sections, the rainfall was
very light, while IN some counties of
the central and southern sections it
was sufficient TO stop farm work.
Light snow fell in th northern por-
tion of the state on the Goth.
The percentage of sunshine during
the week was below the normal.
Wheat. generally, is looking well
though in some sections it is making
slow growth owing to cold and dry
weather. In the northwestern coun-
ties wheat would be benefited by q
rain. Chinch bugs are reported in q
few of the central and southwestern
counties.
Late sown oats are coming up and
though growing slowly promise well.
Those sown early, and that were not
killed, are poor stand.
Corn planting is progressing in the
central and southern portions of the
state, but in a number of counties
the work has been interrupted by
heavy rains which made the ground
too wet to work. In the northern
sections work has been but little in
terrupted. The most of the ground

northern counties. In the central
and southern counties some corn is
up but is not doing well owing to the
low temperature and it is feared in
some sections that the ground is SO
cold and wet that corn that has
been planted will rot. Slight dam
age by cut-worms is reported in Me
Donald county.
Grasses are improving and stock
is being put on pasture.
Gardens are generally backward.
Flax is reported as looking well in
Dade county.
Reports relative to fruit are more
encouraging and in the central and
southwest sections prospects are fa-
vOrable for fair crop of cherries.
