Pastor McKissick's Good
M ork on East Lancaster
Circuit.

Christian Advocate We have
held a series Of services at all of
the churches on the charge.
Our first meeting was held at
Bethel. Large congregations at
tended the preaching ofthe Word,
and there were several conver-
sions with 8 accessions to the
Church. Bethel has been reviv-
ed along all lines of Church work
and especially in the Sunday
school, which is IN a hourishing
condition. We hope and pray
for still greater things at Bethel.
Our next meeting was at Hope
well, where the Lord most grac-
iousiy poured out His holy spir
1T upon the congregation and
several happy conversions was
accomplished.
The next and last was at Tab
ernacle, where he pastor was
assisted by Revs P. B. Ing-a
ham and w. B. Gibson.
Much inter st was manifested
and before the meeting closed
several professed conversion.
One was added To The church at
this meeting, aud two by certifi-
cate some time previous to this.
One of the good results of this
meeting, was the organic alton
of young mems prayer meet
ing, which is doing great good
among the young men OF this
church.
We have fine Sunday echools
at Tabernacle and Hopewell as
well as Bethel already mentioned
On the the whole we feel that
the Lord has blessed us spiritu-
ally and that the work is prc-
gressing very well indeed. We
are praying for still greater bles-
sings since the mercy and good
nes of the Lord knows no
bounds.
We are kindly remem bered
by the members Of the different
churches of the charge, with a
purse amounting to a nice little
sum. We also were rendered a
vacation, i which we ieel the
the highest appreciation.
With best wishes for all
remain,

The best field of corn your

owned by the college farm. All
who have visited Clemson will
remember the one hundred acres
of fine bottom land worked by
the college on Seneca River.
This fertile field is now covered
with corn that will, in all proba-
bility, average seventy-tive bush
els to the acre. 1t has not been
worked according to the William
son plan, but the greater part Of
the work it asIreceived was Civ

the corn was planted.

 The Johnny O the Woods fund now amounts to about S2OO, and the chances are that he may be taken into custody within few hours. If he comes to Ansonia or goes to Derby the police will undoubtedly arrest him on a technical charge of vagrancy. He will then be turned over to the An sonia almshouse, and the money that has been raised for him will keen him there, well cared for by Superintend- ent Foy, for another twelvemonth ait ] least,
 The scheme is to ask the state to aid in his care after the subscription money has been exhausted. It seems that Johnny has no residence in An sonia or in any town in the state. He has been a wanderer and has stayed 1 in no one town for any length of time sufficient for the establishment of a legal residence. Consequently no town will take the burden of his care upon itself, and it is understood that under those circumstances the state will assist.-Ansonia Sentinel.

MAN WITHOUT A RESIDENCE.
Johnny O the Woods May Have to Be
 Cared for by the State.

Johnny O the Woods is reported to have spent last night in Seymour. where he was given lodging on cot in one of the cells in the towns bas- tile. This morning, about 10 or il o'clock he started on his way south, evidently bound for this city, where a small fortune is awaiting him. John nu, strange to say, has not been seen here since the fund was raised for him number of months ago. The fund reposes in the strong boxes of. the Derby National bank, In the hands of a number of trustees, who would be glad to get the opportunity to turn the money over to Johnny's behoof'
 Previous to the raising of the fund, Johnny had been seen here fre- quently-so often, in fact, that people had begun to think that he had found some cave or deserted woodlands hut where he had established a permanent residence, not far from Ansonia. It was, in fact, his frequent appearance here, in the dead of winter, with little

The nets belonged to Captain Joseph Bleser, who appeared in court and told of placing out these nets for the taking of white fish and of their being cut, Nicolo admitted the depreciation.
