MONTEREY, Highland Co., March g.
The meeting conducted by Evangelist G.
M. Howard, is still in progress here.
About one hundred persons have indicated
their intention to join some one of our
churches when the opportunity is offered.
The meeting has been of incalculable bene-
fit in healing arrangements, and in caus-
in every respect. Those who attended Mr..
Towards remarkable meeting held here
twenty-one years ago, say that this is even
more remarkable meeting than that one
1t is a grand sight to see the large number
of persons on the benches set apart for the
enquirers and young converts. Very few
of the people of Monterey who are of re-
sponsible age, have been unaffected. Near
ly every one of the unconverted who has
attended the services at all regularly, has
inquirer of the way of life.
Rev. e.. M. Howard is undoubtedly
very remarkable man. He impresses every
one as man of God, full of the Holy
Ghost. He breaches with rare simplicity,
and power. He holds, every evening before
the night service, a meeting for the young
converts, and enquirers. 1t is grand
sight to see there the little child and the
gray-bearded sire, sitting side by side, en-
quiring the way of life. So careful is Mr..
Howard in instructing the enquirers and
converts. that we are very hopeful of their
holding out in the new life on which they
have set out. Mr.. Howard is so weak,
physically, that he has to lie in his bed
large part of every day, and is never well,
and yet the Lord gives him strength to do
a remarkable work for His cause. It is no
wonder that invitations to hold evangelis-
tic meetings are coming to this holy man
of God, from every quarter. Any church
is fortunate that can procure his services.
The meeting at this place began on Sab
bath evening, February 10th, and will close.
next week. The Evangelist will go from
this place to Pisgah Presbyterian church
in this county, and from there to Crab
bottom Presbyterian church also in this
county. From the last mentioned church
ne will likely go to Mcdowell.
MI. Charles Bishop of your town is vis-
ting his brother, Mr.. Virgil Bishop of
5his place.
MI. Orndorff of Meadow Dale, is stop
)ing at the Hldy House for time.
Mrs. William Hevener of Hightown.
lied suddenly on last Friday morning,
Miss Josie Stephenson is visiting her pa
rents for few days.
Mr.. Jacob Hevener has just purchased a
arge engine, and intends to operate roller
mill in the Hightown neighborhood.
Mr.. VIM. A. Sipe and family of this
county, will occupy the Hidy House this
7ear. They will take possession in the
Spring.
MI. Jacob Hevener of Hiehtown. has
been staying in town for few DAYS at
lending the Howard meeting. He is a.
'oung man of sterling qualities.
MI. Jacob H. Hidy will move out of the
aidy House in the Spring. He will proba-
lily remain in town.
We are glad to see our young friend, Mr..
Hem Mauzy out again after his short, but
severe illness.
The public schools closed last week. We
)elleve it is not settled. as yet, whether Mr..
1olaw will teach private school. Noe
ort should be spared to induce him to do
o, as he is a gentleman of excellent educa-
ional qualification for the school room.
II fact. all our teachers have proevn them
elves the right persons for their respective
ositions.
