NEW CASTLE TIMES.

As l have not seen anything from this neck of the woods, 1 send you a few items.
 There is great deal of sickness in our community at this writing and the demands upon his time has gotten our young doctor about as thin as your humble servant, but he Is liken- ed unto a bull dog-he don't know when to turn loose.
 MT. Walter A Hen takes his departure tomorrow for McDaniel, where he has accepted a situation as book keeper. Walter has just completed course in cotton grading at Memphis.
 Your humble scribe attended one of the greatest gatherings and finest din- ners yesterday, at what is called the old Harris Graveyard, near Wittsburg, that 1t has ever been our pleasure to visit. The occasion was the unveiling of the monument to our deceased bro- ther, Albert Stokes. Caldwell, Vann- dale, Wynne and Forest Chapel Camps attended,; also about l50O visitors were there to partake of one of the most magnificent dinners a man ever sat down to. There were sheep, goats, hogs and yearlings, wild turkey, squir- rel pie, cake and pies, hard to number and lots over l2 basketball that was taken up. Oh, how we did eat. L. H. Pippin and Sovereign Satterneld were the speakers of the day.
 The w. o. w. Camp at Forest Chap el will go to work in the near future and build nice hall over Forest Chap ell Church, and then for "time" for all again. Oh what a good time we are having these hard times. It's hard to keep good folks down.
 We'll, forgot to write you last week about our grand and glorious revival Forest Chapel. Bro. Nelson, our beloved pastor, began the services two weeks ago, and continued 1t until Thursday night of last week, 12 days and nights without one dull service. Thanks be to God, they were all good, and we can thank our God that His spirit was with us on every occasion. It was surely the grandest and most glorious time that your humble ser want ever saw at old Forest Chapel, and he has been going there for 37 years. Oh, 1t was surely wonderful. Five or six old gray-headed men-just ready for the tomb-checked in their downward march and brought to Christ! and they would stand up be- fore four or five hundred people and tell them all what God had done for them, and go into the congregations and plead for sinners to come to the altar and be saved. Any man or wo- man who can stand up before our be- loved Brother and reject the gospel delivered In his God-fearing way, is surely mighty hard-hearted. Such men as Capt. Bailes, J. J. Smith, J. B. Lemmons and lots of others have been brought into the fold, under the pro- lection of our loving Christ. The young converts are so full of the love that takes no denial, that they are go- ing to start young mems prayer meeting, and meet on Wednesday nights. There will be about 20 of them. That's right, brothers; every word you say for the Lord the stronger you will be. We had about 85 conver- sions and about SO additions to the church. The others were men and women who had strayed away and came back to their first love. Oh, how l wish 1 had language to express our love for our beloved pastor and his good, sweet. Christian wife.
 1 want to say that we have one of the best Christian men at the head of our school that I ever saw. His pray CTS in our meeting were answered, I think, for the conversion of his school. He would dismiss at II a. m., and march his school to church, and pray for them just like father. We should certainly be thankful and appreciate the selection that pr. McDougal made for our school and keep him as long as we can.

 J. J. Smith and Capt. BaiIes say there is nothing like being a good man. Capt. Bailes and E. L. Horton say they will each give a preacher $50 if Forest Chapel and Wesley are made a station; many others 320 and s25. Oh, how easy it is to give when you love the church and God
 We'll, the old red-necks have gone to
