CULLEoKA, Sept. 3.-The ten days
protracted meeting at the Methodist
Church may well be called revival.
Rev. Robert Craig of Spring Hill, con-
Quoted the services. In his gentle,
clear, sincere way he preached Christ
and salvation to our people so forcibly
that his teachings could not fail to
reach hearts, create in them n new
strength and convert them. 1t was
grand, good meeting, and through Bro.
Craig's preaching God blessed us great
ly. The first Sunday in September
Rev. Hudson, of the Cumberland
Church, will begin series of services
at the Presbyterian Church. He has
preached here before, and we hope for
a continuance of the good services we
have been having.
On Thursday August q, the funeral of
Mr.. Emmett Biggers was preached at
Friendship Church and the remains
laid away in the church-yard there.

died of typhoid fever, and now Emmett
has fallen by the same dread disease.
Both were noble young men, just ready
to take their places as substantial men
of the neighbOrhoOd, but God saw fit to
take them from their places. Words Of
sympathy cannot ease the aching
hearts of the bereaved ones, but we love
that old Scotch form of speaking of the
dead as one "gone AVA" for that allows
us the privilege of following and again
joining our loved ones.
