We have never seen a ~protraoted
meeting start of with a united
bond Of christianity than the one
which is now being conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Chiffon Of the Methodist church.
IL Is free of dissention and there is
unity OF purpose and a warm, tender,
love existing among the members.
God stands ready to pour out q bless
ing and the whole town benefited.
The other day we heard a man crit
icising the town papers, saying there
was nothing in them, and that u ed
itors "dOn't appear to know any
thing" Well, they may not know
much, but, If they we're to print one
half of what they know about this
same fault finding man, he'd think the
paper was to full Of "news" for any
use, and that the editors we're entire
ly too smart.
George II. Phelps, one of the ag-
gressive Yankee farmers residing
near Jolly In this county, had the mis-
fortune last Thursday to lose his fine
barn by fire with all its contents, ex-
cept his horses. The structure was
sF-roH ~ gChfngnn HnWfnU the haoury
storm, and Mr.. Phelps was barely able
to get his horses out before the entire
building was in flames. He was I'M
fortunate enough to have no insurance
on the barn.
So many people hesitate about
writing to any n who advertises
some special bargain, even though
they may really be in want of the
very article advertised. @. @. Moore,
of Thelma, this county, has an adver-
tisement in this paper offering a 90
saw Pratt Gin for sale, all in good
working order, for the low price of
$40. There are certainly men in
this section looking for a bargain of
this kind. Read his notice and write
him for particulars.

tention which insures a success. Rem
ember the entertainment is to be Civ
