NJ. II. Griffin was master OF cerenaop-
les. The anniversary was preached by
Rev j. H. Brice. The sermon was
profound and eloquent. We have o.
ten spoken of sermons being among
the best ever preached in Fulton, but
we are persuaded to say tthat this is
the best which has ever been preached
in this section of the city. Rev. Brice
is evidently talented to preach. Clos

Little Bessie, the infant daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Paige was taken to

sap is running back to the ground slowly. and
1t will be Just as slow starting upward again

just started in for the summer season, instead
OF being on the threshold Of November. Next
spring. when they should begin to show the
promise OF June they will still be reminiscent
Of November. No doubt Of it. 1 never knew
the sign to fail. D.
Then. as to there being a hard winter i'm
pending. did you notice that the crickets and
the katydids began singing unusually early
this season and became silent two weeks be-
fore they are in. the habit Of doing 80? Wheth-
er you noticed it or not, they did and that is
another infallible sign that winter will come
