We had the pleasure OF trip TO
J JnneSviile o. las? Fr,iav, th. % Gag
ion ot the TRIP hei"g the meetirg of
the Uniou County B .p"ist A<snci-
ntiou, which c0C"ened on Thursday
and w,.S in session until S,tuc,luy
noon. The meeting, while not very
largely attended on accouot OF the
bad condition. Of the roads, was n very
Interesting one, and very much en-
joyed by all those who were Fortunate
enough TO b. present. There were
some very el,qlcnt addresses during
the meeting Among those present
from II distance were DIR. A 2 Mon
tague, President of Furman Uuver-
sity; DR.. L. NJ. Bailey, Secretary Of
State Missions; A NJ. A Pitman,
Editor of the 5 9. Brptist; and J.
w. Gaines, of Welch Nerk High
Schhool, Hartsviile, s. G.. The regu-
lar routine busiue3 was transacted,
and some very encouraging reports
were submitted from the different
churches in the association, rs we'll
as Interesting work in the foreign
field. One Of the special features OF
Friday morning was the eloquent
speech of DIR. Montague, speaking to
the subject Of Mormnnism, in show
ing up their history he became
wrought up to degree, and scored
them roundly for their evil practices,
and questionable methods in gaining
foot hold mere. We regret that lack
Of space dcprives us Of reproducing his
speech which we took down at the
time. We are heartily in sympathy
with his views and enjoyed his
speech.
He was not alone in his attack, but
was ably seconded by Dr.. Bliley, who
has done II good work in routing the
Mormon elders to q certain extent, and
also by Mr.. j. ID. Mahrn, Of Uu;on,
who has no love nor sympathy for
the Mormons. We regret that we
had not tho privilege Of listening to
the sermon at night by Dr. Montague,
which we understand was fine one
and delivered with his usual elo-
quence.

While in Jonesviile we called in to
see several of our friends, among
whom were Messrs. j. w: Scott, Sam
LittI"john, j l. M"Whirter, 7. l.
HtmeS, J B. Foster, and J F. All
man, with whom we had very pleas
ant chats. We had intended to 20
over to the new mills that are going
up in the suburbs OF this hustling
little city and take look around, but
we were so pleasantly entertained by
our friends, that the time slipped
away unawares, and we found we had
not enough time on our hands to 90
and get back to catch the train, ard
our experience when we We're last
there was brought vividly to our
| mind. We remembered what a hard
race we had to catch the train, by
having stayed and talked to long
with these friends, but really they
are all so pleasant and sociable and
make one feel 80 much at home
among them that it is hard 70 tear
ones self away from the pleasant en-
joyment. We were the recipient Of
watermelon treat by Mr.. J. B. Fas.
ter. in the afternoon, and In the
evening we took supper at the hospi-
table home OF our friend, Mr. 7. l..
Hames, where we assisted in destroy
ing one OF the finest kleckley's that
we have seen this season. 1t makes
, our mouth water even yet when we
think of that melon. We are indebt-
ed to our good friend Rev. l.. NJ
Rec, who has a good scent on trail
| and knows where to find the good
things. for plotting us in the direc.
tion OF this pleasant home Union
had q good delegation at louisville
and they all say they were royalty
entertained by the citizens of this
| coming town.
We are going back to Jonesville
soon and we will take a look around
and have something to say Of the inn
provements going on up there.
Our party arrived home about &c
O'Clock at night, the train being some
