The protracted meeting at Salem ended
last Tuesday evening-eight accessions to
the Church was the result.
Rev. G. Nj. Boyd began protracted meet
ing at Wilson'S Chapel yesterday under
suspicious circumstances. The venerable
Rev. Mr.. Newberry, was with him, and
preached in the afternoon. The house was
crowded during both services, and the very
best Of order prevailed. Also, Rev. f. c.
HicksoG began Il meeting at ElBethel yes
terday, from both of these Churches we hope
to report good results next week.
The Reform Primary last Saturday show
ed this Township overwhelmingly for Evans.
The result was: For Governor Evans 90,
Eilerbe 3, and for Lieut.. Governor, Thinner
man 81.
The Reform Club list in this (Gowdeys-
ville) Township numbers 220, but few
names have Inadvertently been enrolled
| who are not fully in sympathy with the
| movement, yet it is safe to say that there are
| at least 200 staunch Reformers in this Town
| ship who are dyed-in-the- wool Tillman men.
G. L. N. Lcgg, Esq, has announced him
Township. Several others will no doubt
follow suit and lively Campaign be the
| result Let us all get on the "Refcrm Kite"
aud your correspondent will hold the string.
In consequence of the Campaign meetings
in this and Draytonville Township coming
| on the same days that the County S. S. Con-
vention meets at SIlcm we, with many
| others, will not be permitted to attend them.
We expect to have the largest and best look
ing crowd with US at the Convention.
Last Saturday while your corres pondent
was away from home buggy with gentle
man and lady in it drove up to our house
aud hollered "helo." Mrs Vox of course,
went to the door and just behind them was
| another buggy, and another still behind that
| and so on. Each containing as much as John
Tolleson used to say "two couple" in it--a
belle and beau, where's the Squire?
they began to ask. About that time the
fifth buggy came in sight with Dr.
and Miss-in it. They, too, came up
and asked for the Squire. The sudden ap-
| pearance of this caravan and 80 many
inquiries for ''the Squire" rather "flustra-
ted the old oman, and she began to solve
| the mystery as best she could She first
thought to herself. at won't do for re-en
forcements for Coxey's Army. His women
ride on horseback Again" she thought
| .somebody must be dead and they aye going
i to the inquest or burial" mo, that won't
do said she, for doctors never attend
funerals they generally render their service
to the patient before hand and hurry up
work for somebody else. The old ladys
excitement was somewhat intensified by the
lady in the fifth buggy saying: Perhaps
he'll be here rs we return. And away
they went. 1t was about II o'clock M. and
the thermometer stood at SO degrees in the
shade.
Mrs. Vox who is somewhat Of philoso-
pher, (or perhaps the more educational
people would say "philosophress, although
She did not display much tact in choosing a
husband for hersef began to soliloquize
somewhat in this way: Some one, or per-
haps more, if not ali Of those parties are
running away and want to get married and
-isn't here to attend TO his business.
He's off Attending Club Meeting with
number of other men who ought to be at

As good luck would have it our buggy
crowd turned out to be a meeting of the
Bachelor Association near ThomSon's Mill
and few sweet sixteen were going as in
vited guests.
