The people of the Presbyterian
church gave their pastor and his
wife a very pleasant surprise last
Thursday, by sending them a
whole load of the good things of
the land. When the pastor came
to view the contents of the load he
wrote the following: "Beans and
bacon and salt galore; Sugar and
pepper and coffee more. Six cans
of peas, and butter in a box. Sweet
potatoes enough to fill three
crooks. Tomatoes, peaches and
syrup to make the boy laugh;
Quaker oats to bring the smile that
won't come off. Eight glasses of
jelly, like mother used to make;
Nutmegs, vanilla and flour to
make a fine cake. Soda and bak-
ing powder to make things light;
Rice, apricots and crackers crisp
and white. Ten jars of jam of the
very best kind; Even matches,
soap and corn were not left be-
hind. And last, but not least,
along towards night, Some one
sent a big load of wood to keep
the fire bright. And later still, we
know not how, Some bran ap-
peared to feed the COW. Taken
together our larder is quite full all,
And we from our hearts are very
thankful to you ALL"
Rev. Harry Whitehead was
several years ago pastor of the M.
E. Church, South, at Arcadia.
The following, in reference to him,
taken from a late issue of the New
Orleans Picayune, will be of inter-
est to many of our readers: "Rev.
Harry Whitehead has been ap-
pointed by DR.. H. G. Davis, Pre-
siding Elder of this district, as
pastor of the Algiers Methodist
Church. In the absence of the
Bishop, Mr.. Vaughn, the former
pastor, having been sent to Mon
tana, the Presiding Elder filled the
vacancy. Mr.. Whitehead is a
native of southern Illinois, and
has spent most of his life in St.
Louis and that vicinity. He was
educated in st. Charles College, at
st. Charles, Mo. With the ex-
ception of one year, he has
preached in the bounds of the st.
Louis Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, for the
last eighteen years. For eleven
years he has been one of the secre-
taries Of that body. His wife is a
native of this city and a daughter
of the late Captain Riddle. Mr..
Whitehead's friends have been
congratulating him on the ap-
pointment, and the church is con-
sidered fortunate to secure so good
a man in the place of the able
pastor who retires."
The st. Louis Tribune, a st.
Louis evening paper printed in
German, of the date of September
10th, bitterly assails the South
Hungarian Land and Colonization
Company, now operating at Pilot
Knob. Serious charges are made
against Messrs. Frank Mulfin, j.
L. Conway and H. S. Whitener,
officers of the company. Lack of
space prevents the publication of
the article in full, which is some
two columns in length, but the
following concluding paragraph
will give an idea Of the whole: Gin
order to raise another crop OF
suckers, they publish a semi
monthly paper in the Hungarian
language Uvilay. This paper is
embellished with enchanting pic
lures Of other countries and is sent
to all places, where Hungarians
live, here and in Europe to attract
new victims. It is our intention
in publishing this to make an end
to their scheme. All papers, read
by Hungarians, should reproduce
this, or at least make inquiries in
order to make an end to this rob-
berry, fraud and extortion of a class
of people whose only fault con-
sisted in their ignorance of such
outrageous villany." "These be
bitter words" that must call for
} substantiation on the one hand or
, ~refutation on the other. The article,
I take it, is the outcome of a quar-
rel between the original members
of the company, resulting in the
deposition of Solymosy Oliver as
President, and the substitution OF
MI. Whitener..
: The rain Saturday night was the
heaviest known in this country fol
i. many years. Indeed, it is doubt
| full if there is any record of its
, equal. 1t commenced raining early
in the evening and continued
{ throughout most of the night.
The greatest precipitation, how.
ever, was about eleven o'clock and
the water certainly came down in
torrents. While rain was general
