I have carefully read "The Story of
Stonewall jackson" and am much
pleased with it. Its valuable acqnisi-
ton to any up-tO-date library and no one
who likes to read the life of great man
can we'll bo without it. Last week your
correspondent had the pleasure of send
ing copy of it to Mr.. I. Peeler, a U.
@. Veteran, of Mississippi. Bir. Peeler
was born in this county on the head
waters Of Gilky's creek and moved west
in early life. He went to the war in a
Mississippi regiment. When he saw my
ad. as agent for the book sent for COPY
Of it and it was sent to him promptly.

on the KeltOn circuit. This correspond
ent has thrown out the hint that Mr..
Creech would probably be moved after
this year. But he came to this cunclu-
sion not from any desire Nj. Creech's
people had to get rid of him. But Mr..
Creech has been working in different
fields lately. He in fact puts in his
whole time in the ministry, and where
ever he has gone he has made a good
impression and host of friends and re-
ceived hearty welcome. Other circuits
would he glad to get him and don't
blame them for he will stir up their law
church members and put them to work.
hope Mr.. Creech will be returned unless
he gets much better position than he
now has which am satisfied could be i'm:
proved-that is by less work aud more
pay.

The exodus fever has struck some of
the cOlored people Of this section and
they are fixing to get off, some to
Pennsylv ania and others to Mississippi.
The only misfortune connected with this
movement IL, its generally the industrious
