BBEWERTON ITEMS.

Again | must bow with an apology to
the many readers OF THE ADVERTISER.
Business matters, the hot weather and
carclessness or laziness, | don't know
which, have kept me from putting in an
appearance regularly.
Many little things have come and
gone since my last communication to
The ADVERTISER, which would have
boen OF interest to the many intelligent
readers, but since they are things of
the past shall desist. One thing how
ever | shall mention, which is OF very
unusual occurrence.
There were three brothers, ranging
in age from IS to 83 years, who we're
engaged in a christian warfare to-
gethor the first week in August at Mt
CIallagher, trying to pull down the
Kingdom OF Satan and build up the
Kingdom OF Christ in tho hearts of the
people. Why this should be OF so much
interest is that all three have boon en-
listed In the army for more than fifty
years and yet have never become tired
IN the service, but were hearo to cry
out during the meeting: "T have fought
Il good fight, | have finished my course,
have kept the faith; henceforth there
is LAID up for me Il crown OF righteous
ness, which the Lord, the righteous
Judge, shall give me at that day, and
not for me only, but unto all them also
that love his appearing. These three
brothers were Henderson Martin, OF
Spartanburg, Ambrose Fl. Martin, of
ltamrens and Louis Martin, of Mt.
Gallagher. These three brothers were
permitted to enjoy some of the fruits OF
their labors here on earth, in that Rev.
Dr. j. Q. Martin, their own nephew,
whose father and mother died when he
was quite small did the preaching. The
Or. Is very Jealous and preached tho
ltOspel with great earnestness and pre-
clslon, yet many seemed not to be
moved and start for the Kingdom of
christ. Only three confessed regenera-
ton and saving faith in Christ, yet
many In the church were built and
strengthened in the faith, who resolved
that they would live nearer the Lord in
tue future then they have done in the
be scribe. May the good Lord help us
to carry out our good resolutions.
>, The big tent meeting Of Holmes and
TODD began on Saturday night the
10Th or August, near Mt Bethel. The
church desired once that they would
not have the tent meeting, but protract
meeting at Brewerton church. Later
on however they reconsidered.
The Harmony Union Sunday School
oursled 1ew Sundays ago and was
moved down to Brewerton church. Mr..
James Bramlett continues to auperin-
tend. The Sunday School in com nection
with the church have boughtAan or

W vii, ,h be much much moysl5ss ,,9sllSs, from Country
borhood. The crop prospect is tie
gloomiest | ever knew at this time.
Very little corn is going to be made
and the cotton crop is short indeed.
good rain fell here on Saturday,
the 25th of August.
Mr.. Editor, it is strange thing to
me that many people claim that the
l2atti=Tillmap faction, whiskey-men and
the prohibitionist have combined to
whip the dispensaryist. When will the
devil cease to do his work? Not until
time shall cease to be no more.
Mr.. Johns, of Silver Street, was up
to soc his best girl near Brewerton re-
Gently and spent nearly week with
her.
