Last Sunday was pleasant day and many
took advantage Of the fine weather TO go into
the country for few hours The number that

and il they return by the boat leaving there al

Death Of Miss McDade.

Miss Amanda McDade, an estimable
and well known lady, died yesterday
afternoon at the residence of Mr.. E.
W. Ellis, in this place, aged 81 years.
She had been in feeble health a long
time being confined entirely to her bed
the past several months. Miss McDade
was the aunt of the late Mrs. Ellis to
whom she was as devotedly attached
as if she had been her own child, and
the death of that lady some months
ago under such sad and peculiar cir
cnmstances, was great shock to her
from the effects of which she had never
recovered, and this together with her
own malady caused her 10 give way
more rapidly since. She was a woman
of aniable disposition and pious char
acter, a deyout communicate of the
Episcopal church, and was greatly es-
teemed by all who knew her. The
funeral will be held from the Church of
the Holy Innocents at half past five
O'Clock this afternoon.

Rev. T. M. johnson, and the Gen
eral Secretary.

-
The solo "Softly and Tenderly" by
Miss Lizzie Pinkston was very well
received and sweetly rendered. Mr..
Rossiter gave an account Of the Mt.
Lake camp meeting up to the time of
the coming of Rev. Mr.. johnson when
the latter spoke of the people he met,
some of whom were miracles of
grace
The mountain is $500 feet above
the sea level, one of the highest points
in the Alleghanies, in the extreme
Western part of Maryland, 4 miles
from Deer Park where Cleveland spent
his honeymoon. There was stiff
breeze all day; the nights were cool,
and fire was enjoyed each morning.
The camp meeting was attended by
people, ministers and laymen, evan
gelists and mission workers from the
North and South, East and West.
There were, Methodists, North and
South church, Methodist Protestants,
Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Evan
gelicals, German Reform, Congre-
gational, Baptists, Friends and other
denominations represented.
There was manifest Presence
which made preaching and testimony
easy and delightful. The preaching
was of the highest order, inspiring and
intended to teach souls about the
wonderful fulpess there is in the
Gospel. bishop Thoburn of India
was present and preached once, and
also gave an account of the great work
amongst the heather of India.
Mr.. Johnson gave an account of the
people he met. He mentioned the
preachers, DR.. G. d. Watson, of
Florida, DR.. E. /. d. Pepper, of
Philadelphia, and Rev Jas. II. Smith,
of Indianapolis, and others. These
preached in the power Of the Spirit,
sermons ON Scripual Holiness or
Heart Purity, and he had never heard
anything like them before. Then there
was Andrew Dolbow, simple minded
layman, uneducated, who had been
taken up poor drunkard, converted,
and for five years has been in evan
gelistic work and over 1900 souls
have been converted under his ministry!
He was "mircle of grace

Some Seasonable Seeds to Sow in
August.

Messrs. 4. w. Wood & Sons, the
well known seedsmen, of Richmond,
Va. contribute the following timely
suggestions for the benefit Of farmers
and gardeners to the current number of
the Progressive South:
beans or Snaps for use in the fall
either as a Eegetab BE iof the table or for
pickle should be planted.
Plant ont Cabbage plants at once if
any remain implanted.
Sow Lettuce seed to grow plants Tor
fall use.
Celery plants can yet beplanted if good
stOcky plants are at hand.
Onion seed can be sOwn during this
month in beds for transplanting, but as
the seed is hard to terminate in dry, hot
locations, it is best to SOW it in O shady
situation under shaded, hot-bed sash, or
any other thing which will give it some
protection from the scorching rays OF
the sun. They must be regularly Watered
until established If the weather is dry,
and thoy will be ready to transplant
when the weather gets cool. We believe
that crops OF onions planted or sOwn in
the fall are amongst our best paying
crops, and we urge our friends to try q
patch, which can be enlarged as success
is secured.
Peas OF the English varieties are being
successfully planted by several OF our
friends for a fall crop.
Potatoes for second crop seed can now
be planted if the seed has been prepared
| according to Instructions given in last
months issue OF the Progressive South.
Turnip seed OF all kinds should now be
sown. Euta Ragas first, if not already
put in. Turnips furnish man and beast
during the fall and winter months, and
are a nutritious, healthy food, which
should be universally sown, as they are
so easily grown.
We can not speak too highly of Grim
son Glover, and urge all farmers to SOW
| at least a patch.
| Rye for grazing in the fall and winter.
and afterwards to raise a crop, should
| be sown.
Barley IL a crop which is we'll adapted
to winter grazing, and those who have
stock of any kind to winter over,
will find sowing this crop valuable
adjunct.
