Notes OF Interest.

We left here on last Sunday at 1890
over tho O. and o. for Maidens Adven-
ture. After an hours drive behind q
fine pair Of spirited young horses, we
arrived at Locksville, the beautiful
home Of Mr.. William Guanant. which
sets back less than q quarter of q mile
from the White Hall road. A great
host OF people was 1T the church. IL
has been only months since this work
was commenced.
The exercises took place about 80
after few of lions songs were sung
rs only the old fathers aud mothers in
the country can. Brother Spencer
jones led in prayer and Rev. John r.
West for about 10 minutes explained
to the people the great work that had
been accomplished IN about s months,
giving the names OF most Of those who
had contributed either moneY, lumber
or labor. The brother was very point
ed and earnest ia his remarks and Was
given the closest attention.
Rev West then in few well chosen
words presented to the large crowd the
Rev. ii. Powell of the Fifth Baptist
Church 90 preach tina dedicaticnal SER
mon. The preacher fer about 5 min
utes paid . high compliment to the
people and especially those who had
so successfully carried forward sach
grand work. He then took has text
from Isaiah 56:7, latter part, For
mine house shall be called house of
prayer for ell people" In . clear
forcible argument he gave q beautiful
and historic sketch OF the children OF
Israel and why the words were spoken
by the prophet.
A good collection WAS taken up for
the benefit OF the reminding debt.
WHITE AND coLoRED WORK IN HARMONY.
The friends who have gone forward
in tn , pur chasing of the ground and
building for the Chapel or Mission. are
people who have accepted of the Rev.
John X. West Cot the Sharon B aptist
Church this city, as their leader. They
have accomplished a good work and
are fully capable Of doing great things.
Its a splendid community.
| The young people will organize a
regular sunday School at the Mission,
which we shall take the liberty to name
or call the white Hall Baptist Mis-
sion Chapel"
Right across the road and in front of
the chapel is the residence of that

future as Windsor CASTLE" beautifully

uries. Altar dinner all left for
home. except tive who remained and
attended the 8 80 services at the Chap
81. There was 6 good crowd present
and Rev. West preached . good SER
mon.
Rev. West seemed over toyel at the
good work himself and few friends
had done. Too much Sredit cannot be
given to MesErs. VIM. GuarrAnt, Sam
uel Hopson, Dan HobsOn and others
for their aid. There are others whose
