old man, replied "every" one of you. That caught us, and that little word every" did it, and It has been catching us, every since. We don't like it. It is used often, in the scriptures. It has it's full est meaning, in Rom. II: II, where it says, "every" knee shall bow, and "every" tongue confess, &c. not one will escape. The meeting was little out of the order of Sunday school work. We think Bro Rayford, has many reasons to congratulate himself upon the success of the meeting. For it certainly will cause revival in in the Sunday schools, of his cir cult.
 The Drew county singing con- ventlon, wIll meet the latter part of next month. The place and date will be gwen in due time, by the secretary. We do not wish to usurp any authority whatever on the part of the officers. All lovers of good music should attend. Every singing class, in the county, IS eligible to membership. Every teacher of class should see that his class be well equiped with books. ''Harvest Bells,' is the title of book adopted last year, by the convention. This is a grand order, and doing il good work, let every body attend and lend a helping hand.

 The crops in this section are greatly benefited by last weeks rain, consequently the frown on the farmers face has vanished, and a smile now interveues W which makes every one much pleasanter. The health of the neigborhood has been unusually good up till last Saturday any way, am unable to state how it is at present, but am inclined to think from Saturdays appearances, that somebody is sick.
 Last Saturday was very enjoy able day in Florence, indeed. The Florence Sabbath school give a pie nic on that day in which there was not less tran four hundred people present, and in which we trust that all present enjoyed the the proceedings of the day. Ex- ercises of the day begun promptly at nine o'clock, opened with pray CT by Rev. Esmond Collins. The opening addresss was delivered by MT. Jamie Haysie. We would like to give the full programme but it is to lengthy to begin with. The morning proceedings were composed chiefly of recitations from the smaller children, of which I think, our Sabbath School should be proud to own. The hours flew rapidly on, and the time arrived to announce the ar rangement of the committee, to prepare dinner which caused a considerable change, to come over the faces of the people.
 Dinner was prepared in few minutes only, and every one was pleased to hear the invitation to the table. The Sabbath school scholars all marched to the table in which they did ample justice to it's contents There was plen- ty of dinner on the grounds for every body present, and plenty left over to feed another such crowd, and if every one didn't get plenty it was their own fault. Dinner over the house called to order, and we were once more comfortably arranged, to begin with the evening exercise, which begun promptly at one o'clock. The evening proceedings were we'll conducted, and composed principally of recitatlons and es- says from the larger girls and boys, of which they acted their part eloquently, the closing ad- dress delivered by Mir. Ray Hay sic; Prof. O. c. Joyce, being pre- sent he was called upon, to give Sunday school talk; in his quiet and gentle way he marched delib- arotalx m tho ois1a apd prooontad d
