The "Try Company" of the Presbyter-
ian church, here, recently received
long and interesting letter from Rev.
Geo. f. Henderlite, their former pastor,
row a missionary in Brazil. 1t shows
that Brazil although supposed to be a
civilized republic is not very pleasant
or safe place for a Christian missionary
TO labor in the masses OF the population
being exceedingly ignorant and brutal,
aud need but little urging from designing
and villianous leaders to stone and xii !
christian men and women.
The twenty or more poor children who
have been sent out by a charitable society
from New York to spend few weeks
among the good people in the country
around Timberville, are reported as hav-
ing a glorious time, eating good, healthy
country food, breathing our lifegiving
Valley air and feasting their eyes upon
the beautiful scenery with which nature
has so lavishly blessed this favored coun-
try. 1t is said that some of the people
up there will try to keep some of these
poor little waits who are orphans.
The cause of the many mysterious con-
ferences between the Mayor of Wood
stock, our police force and the officers Of
the Anderson Guards, which have recent
" been pulling our people so much, has
at last come to light. 1t is no less than
threatened strike by the members of the
ancient and honorable order of lOafers,
unless more awnings are put up along
Main street as the heat has become too
intense for them to longer stand 1t. AS
it once be followed by a sympathetic
strike of the large and influential society
of "neyersweats" the gravity of the situa-
ton becomes apparent to every one, and
fully iustifes the stringent precautions
taken by the aboYe named officials.
On Friday while the engine and
thresher beronging to Mr.. Isaac Harris
was passing through a field OF timothy
aud other dry grass some Goals dropped
from iha engine started a fire that at
first threatened serious consequences.
Under the lead of Mr.. Henry Burner
few hands present made a desperate
fight, and, being rapidly reinforced from
the eIghberhood the Gre was extingulsh
ed aud the thresher, lot of fencing and
[ ur wagons loaded with wheat wee saved
from what at first seemed certain destruc-
ton. Two young ladies, Misses Alice
Friar and Edith Warren, of Washington
D. c., who are spending the summer
months at Mr.. Mantz, took hand in the
the racket aud fought the FIRE with a
{, urage and skill that not only surprised
the men but proved a very efficient help
in time of need.

eurred in this place ca Tuesday after noon

middle of the day her condition changed
for the worse and she sank rapidly I'M

tian woman, affectionate wife and Je
voted mother passed from earth to
higher life. Several of her children hsC
been sick one of them being very Ill fol

cd her strength that she was unable Il
