From Black.

On the 18th of August, 1896, your
scribe, in company with G. w. Haw-
kins, (having been elected correspond
ing delegates to Franklin Baptist As
ISOLATION on a special mission), ac-
cordingly, about 8 o'clock A. NJ. we
started for Desloge lead mines, a dis
lance of about 45 miles. Our route
lay up Ottery fork of Black river, and

Cedar Greek. where we enjoyed their
kind hospitality for short time. We

his guests and our stay with him was
very pleasant indeed. Next morning
we wendell our way to the ''lead re-
gion." There we met with a number
of friends and old acquaintance and
were assigned home in the family OF
Mr.. Wells, and it was home we shall
long remember; we never received
better treatment from strangers. And
when we were forced to leave in order
to get back to our daily avocations of
life, we felt we were no longer strang-
ers. but had formed ties of friendship,
which would last as long as time.
Thanks be to our Divine Master for
the Christian faith that binds US In
brotherly love, and maketh glad the
heart of men. We met Mr.. Scoggin,
Jr., of the firm of Scoggin Co., st.
Louis, Mo-, who was a delegate from
the Big Creek church, and he gave US

necessary to cut aud shock the corn be-
fore wheat could be sown. Considera-
BILE damage was done in various places
to heavily laden peachtrees and many
forest trees were broken and denuded
of their limbs. The rain literally
poured during nearly all of an hour.
