Saturday evening a wagon con taining young ladies was seen pass ing from house to house, taking on a new.passenger at each place that it stopped. until no more could get in, and then the whip was applied to the splendid team of horses and the party was away for Cantrell Springs to enjoy a hay-ride, and a magnifi- cent and jolly time did the merry young people have as the wagon bounded along the road leading to the Springs, and the happy voices could be heard high above the rum ble of the wheels as onward the wagon, loaded with it's fair freight, sped.

STEPNEY AND VICINITY.

REV II. W. JONES DELIVERS HIS FARE
 WELL SERMON.
 It was with feelings of uncertainty that
 the members of the Stepney Baptist church entered their sanctuary, last
 Sunday afternoon, when Rev H. W. Jones, who has been their pastor and
 leader for the past two years, was to preach his last sermon to the people. Rumors were rife that he would make it
 warm for some members of his church,
 but contrary to expectation, he proved
 himself very sensible and gave as his
 farewell words sermon that was filled
 with good spiritual truths. The facts that have led up to the resignation of Rev MT Jones are well known. When he
 first came to Stepney he was universally liked, being bright speaker and very
 social with his people. But he had not
 been here long before he started cru sade against the wrong doing he saw in the town, and in his enthusiasm and zeal in trying to ferret out wrong, many think he overstepped the bounds of his calling
 At any rate it had the effect to divide his church, some supporting him and some working against him. Such a state of affairs can never promote deep religious church growth and fervor and owing to these circumstances people and pastor de- cided to separate. The church was we'll filled when Rev MT Jones stepped for ward and announced the text for the ser mon. The Scripture passage was taken from Joshua 17:14, "The Lord hath blessed me hitherto,' and the theme was IA retrospect of the past" Said the preacher in part: l presume one of the hardest things to try to do is to try to please everybody. l never did and nev- CT will. Joshua was placed in very pe- culiar and trying position when he had to divide the land among the claimants, and notwithstanding the fact that though he was wise man of God and divided the land of Canaan justly, yet there were those who complained. That Is the way with men to-day; not satisfied with Gods | dealings with them. They were not sat- isfied with the Lord Jesus Christ when he was on earth and believe were he to | come to earth to-day he would have the I same barriers to break down now as he I had then, for men would not be satisfied | with him. No Christian man or woman | has right to grumble and as the best | parting word I can leave with you l would say be satisfied with your. lot. | Look at the grand old truth of predesJi- nation. Some of you don't like It, but | believe in 1t, and If I only implicitly trust | In God l believe all will be we'll. Some of you are only to your ankles In the wa ters of Gods grace, but launch out, for the waters of Gods grace are deep enough | to swim and enjoy yourselves in. God has let some sunshine into every life so that none need be entirely iD the shade. The trouble with so many Christian peo- pie Is that they will sit in the cold and shiyer and will not go to the source of heat to get the warmth. The text has two principal points. First confession. You and are either lost or saved, but he man who Is wearing spotless robe )f Chriat's righteousness, whether he be , m the pale of the church or not, I believe . Christian. He then referred to Gods

This season so far is noted for it's almost entire lack of clover, which means a loss of one of the richest, most nutritious portions of our ordinary crops. The dry weather may account in part for it but not entirely. During the hot week early in May it grew very rapidly. This rapid growth also made it unusually tender. Generally it is so hardy as not to be affected by the frosts, but the re- peated severe frosts of last spring were too much for it, killing much and giving the rest such check as to prevent further growth.
