The interest and progress of the
Universalist society of this village
has been greatly augmented this sum.
mer by having secured the services of
Pliney A. Allen, Jr., a student of
Tufts College, as it's pastor. Mr..
Allen expects to graduate from the
college in the spring of 1901. His
call to this society in Londonderry is
the first he has responded to and he
preached his first sermon before the
society on Sunday, June 26th, &C
ceptablv to his Pensioners in attend
ance and each succeeding sermon has
given general satisfaction and he bids
promise of being well qualified and
adapted to his vocation as minister of
the universal doctrine and faith. he
has adopted. He is liberal in his
views and has very pleasant de-
livery. In personality Mr.. Allen is
quite prepossessing and very affable
and agreeable in conversation. He
takes quite an interest in his work
and is conscientious and jealous in
his desire to promote the spiritual
welfare of his Pensioners. In con-
nection with the organization is the
Helping Hand society, entirely con-
Quoted by the ladies of the same and
the meetings convene at the home of
different members, fortnightly and
are we'll attended. One principal
feature of these occasions are the
suppers which are furnished and eat
ibles of a variety and nature to salts
fy the palate of the most fastidious.
The one held at the residence of Mrs.
Eta Howard, Thursday, the 18th,
of this month is worthy of mention as
it was largely attended and party
of young ladies from So. Derry
came upon their wheels and were an
acquisition to the enjoyment of the
occasion. The next meeting is to be
held at the hospitable home Of Mrs.
l.. s. Arnold, Thursday, the 2Sth,
and a most cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all who choose to partici-
pate in the occasion. The Young
Peoples Union in connection with
the church society convenes every
Sunday evening at the hall where the
services are held and topic relevant
to the object and aim of the Union are
discussed by the leader, who is ap-
pointed to conduct the meetings each
week and the members who are pres
ent. We are pleased to note that
many Of the young men and ladies of
the village attend regularly and es-
says are often read which do credit
to the ability of those who write them,
We predict for the society over which
Mr.. Allen presides, progress and
success as an organization, and one
OF the leading and attractive factors
of religious interest in Londonderry
and we foresee the advantages the
society will reap in the building of a
church of their own in the near fu-
ture, from the proceeds Of their eff
forts and perseverance in the right
direction and we trust it will lay the
conner stone of structure which will
perpetuate the momory and zeal of
its few but ardent founders of the so.
ciety and its present pastor will meet
with the encouragement and appre-
citation he so well deserves.

Birmingham, December 2-Considering
the bearish character of the English news
and the selling pressure brought to bear
from abroad, the cotton market in the early
part of the session displayed remarkable
steadiness. The opening was steady, with
prices points lower to point higher Of

count of commission houses and New Or

OF last nights figures, January and March
options having the principal call. For a
time leading bears Joined hands with Liv-
erpool in an effort to break prices, but find

ana liberal sealed from the south in evil
dence soon turned buyers, which fact con-
tributed materially to the frmer ruling of
the market January shorts were again
conspicuous today and buying for their ac-
count caused relative strength in that de-
livery. Profit-taking caused brief periods
OF easness at times, but at no time did
the market exhibit. actual weakness.

Posts London financial eablegram says:
Stocks were generally good here today on
cheaper money, but the close was distinctly
under the best from lack of support. The
firmness early in the day was largely de-
rived from the strength of the Continental
bourses. German buying of Turkish seeurf-
ties was a feature. Americans were active
and good, but closed lower In sympathy
with other markets. Central Pacific has
again risen sharply. The reorganization
scheme is not expected this year, and we'll
