YOUNG MEMS SUNDAY.
Probably Most Interesting Meetings
Ever Held Ina Iryington.

Arrangements having been perTeete,
for young Mems Sunday in Irvington
under the auspices OF the Young Men,
Christian Association, of Virginia, Mr.. l.
A. Coulter, State Secretary, reached Ir
vington Saturday afternoonfrom Tappa
hammock, accompanied by number o
ladies and gentlemen, who assisted in tn,
meetings. They at once started to work
and-the meeting in the Baptist church al
O'Clock that evening was much enjoyed
and very helpful. Mr.. Coulter spoke to
an appreciative audience mt that meeting
after which Mr.. VIII Phillips sang a
beautiful solo.
Sunday morning ut IL O'Clock services
were held in the Presbyterian church al
Weems. This was also an interesting
service and largely attended.
The 'Children's Meeting" at 3 D. m in
lrvington Baptist church was well at
tended and found interesting and instruc-
tive to both young and old. Mr.. Regi-
maid Walker, OF Richmond, led this meet.
ing and his address was greatly enjoyed,
as was also Mr.. III. Jeter Haydons solo.
At o'clock this service was adjourned
and the meeting exclusively for men and
youths over II years was held. This
probably was the most interesting of ali
the meetings.. Over a hundred men were
present to hear the earnest, impressive
and straightforward appeal the speaker

the various avenues of sin that were
opened to and inviting the young. At
this service the male quartette-Messrs.

most beautifully and impressively several
hymns, and Will Phillips sang solo,
almost Persuaded" in n manner that
caused many TO reflect seriously on their
past lives
The service at s O'Clock in the evening
was what was known as Union Meet
ing, or, for everybody, and the Irvington
Methodist church was crowded TO over
flowing. This, like the other meetings,
every one seemed to enjoy TO the fullest,
ana before It's close there were many eyes
bedimmed with tears. During his dis
course Mr.. Coulter told many touching
incidents and showed the great work the
Y. Nj. &. A. was doing. Mr.. Walker also
outlined the work of the Association and
told OF it's progress during the past few
years. Interspersed with the speaking
were several pieces sung by the quartette
and three solos-one by Mr.. Hayden and
two by Mr.. Phillips. The singing was
grand and our people were all too sorry
that the meetings should come TO close
A collection was taken for Y. Nj. c. A.
work and $50 raised.
Most of the visitors left that night for
their homes; Mr.. Coulter, however, re-
manned in Irvington until Monday after

The stock raisers of this section
are trying to introduce sorghum as a
forage crop. This crop has been
tried in several of the Western States
and as feed for cattle has been
pronounced unequaled. Experiments
have been made in different parts of
Virginia and the crop has turned
out entirely satisfactory, the farmers
claiming that their cattle often leave
corn and other feeds for sorghum.
Sorghum grows to height of five
or six feet and turns out 4 large
yield. The stalk is easy to cure and
is one of the most fattening feeds for
cattle. The soil and climate of this
section suit the crop, and as the
Northern Neck is rapidly becoming
a stock raising section, it is more
than probable that this crop will
soon become one of the most popular
hay crops throughout the Northern
Neck.

Storms and perturbations of this period
will be well on their way to the Atlantic

the 4th to the 9th. We may reasonably
calculate on decided rise in temperature.
ending in thunder and rain storms during
these days. If the general tendency is to
excessive heat and light rains from the
18th to 9th, and from the 9th to 18th, it
will be safe to count on a predominance
OF such weather nearly or quite up to
September. Upon the other hand, should
cooler weather and general rains and
storms be the rule at these periods, much
OF the same kind of weather will charac-
terize all the storm periods for the follow
