Another cold wave has struck us
almost equal to any of the winter
weather and the coldest we've had
this spring.
Owing to the severe snow an ] wind
storm Sunday, several we're deprived
of the privilege of attending church.
Rev. j. W. West, of Tazewell Col

evening. Two women made the
confession and joined the church.
This was perhaps brother Vests
last sermon. We don't know who
will fill his place, but if we can't yet
any better, perhaps we can make out
with the "old war norse," j. N. Har

this place. The sisters held a Sc
RES of prayer meetings week before
last, large crowds came out and we
believe some good was done. The
collection here Sunday for Foreign
missions amounted to $12-not near
as much as it ought to have been

the front when they fully realize
tue necessity for such work. "Gt

the purport of the poor old colonefs

in the first flush of his disappointment.
1t was my good old friends last injunc-

tender-hearted in that quarter"
A light flashed upon me. 1t was
Charlie whom she had met in the
shrubbery last night-who had smoked
that prime Havana and brought those
tears to his cousins sweet eyes; and
to Charlie, no doubt, 1 thought, with
a swift pang OF jealousy, she had given
her young love-the treasure he would
squander as remorselessly as he had
wasted the more tangible treasures in
his hands. And upon me. of all men.

Miss Eimslie offered him. You are

Miss Elmslie, looking appealingiy AT

So was impelled by the Irresistible

nor madness in the passion which had

me by barrier which l recognized as
insurmountabIe. l groaned In spirit
as l remembered that my own hand
had helped to raise the barrier.
And then fell into short troubled
slumber. just as the restless twitterins

told that the day was breaking.
