Starkville, where he acquitted himself
with credit, and stood in high appro-
baton with his teachers.

AS I did not attend today, do not
know whether it resulted in any ad-
ditions to the church. The next
fourth Sunday in August we will have
a protracted meeting in our vicinity
(tbe Fork.) All are cordially invited
