NOTICE.

All persons interested are here

for the purpose Of taking action
for the relief Of the drouth suffer
ers of north Louisiana. Every

The drouth stricken sections
still ask aid, and nearly every
Parish but ours has responded in
some way. We see from the local
press where committees from diff.
ferent places have been selected to
appeal to the generosity of the
State for help. Why is it St.
Tammany has done nothing? Can
not Covington start the ball and
thereby get the good and benevo'
lent people of our Parish to con-
tribute their mite? Charity and
sympathy, twin sisters, 60 hand in
hand and are enrolling, elevating
and Christ-like: then let MS emu
late the good example of our sister
towns and Parishes and do some
thing for suffering humanity.

Tazewell Va, July %.
Ed. NEWS; A good many inquiries
have been made recently as to the
whereabouts of the Council. There
are so many things, it seems to me
needing their attention just now,
and they don't seem to be doing any
thing at all. In fact am told, it is
almost impossible to get meeting.
What has become of the water works?
The present council were re elected
because of their connection with the
water works, and SO far they have
done nothing whatever. Winter
will be on us soon, and then the
scheme will have to be abandoned
for another season. The work could
be accomplished now, while the
weather Is good and work is scarce,
much cheaper than ut any other
time, and why the council don't push
it through is hard to see unless. by
adjourmng it over they hope to
keep job on hand which will insure
their re election next Spring Ty-
phoid fever is in town in several
places, and an epidemic threatened,
but this energetic (O Council has

that your Tazewell Republican broth

The Editor of this paper does not

vanced in which to hold religious
services. The public worship for
the day commenced at Is to IL, with
suitable songs, followed with pray.
ers, and expounding tho Gospel. The
little church, which will hold about
one hundred and fifty people, was
crowded with respectful aud quiet
worshipers, all of whom appeared
to pay serious attention to the exer-
cises of the hour. The simple fact
that there is church in the neigh

of itself, and if the Gospel of Jesus
Christ is simply and faithfully preach
cd there, it can not but bo power

as the garden of the Lord, bearing
all kinds of precious fruits. At 8
p. m. the Sunday School met, and
although it had been only organized

from fifty to one hundred present.
At 4 80 there was a gathering of
colored people in the church, who
were preached to by Bro. Tune, q
