News columns from this place in some
tim9. thought, if you will permit
me, would drop in and tell you some
of the happenings, anyway
Our Sunday school is progressing
nicely We are having a real good
turnout most every Sunday, and all
seem to take very much interest in the
work. Our chorister, Jno. W. Miller,
lie doing everything be. can to promote
the musical interest in our school, and
he is having very much success. aud
the class renders very good music.
John gets very much discouraged some
time, but he should remember that the
promise is to the faithful.
Our literary school is guessing
very satisfactorily. Prof. Gravson is
doing a good work in his school, and
everybody seems to be we'll pleased
with Mr.. Grayson, as he is using all
his best efforts to teach a good school,
All that any school lacks being a sue
cess, is the cooperation of parents with
teachers.
Bro. Osborn filled his regular ap-
pointment here Sunday evening, and
delivered his last and farewell ser
mon for this Conference year. He de-
liveIed very interesting discourse
on the subject, 81 am resolved" or

born is very good talker and has
made many friends since he has been

Well, we are all very 10th to think.
much less speak, of the demented con-
dition of our friend and highly esteem
ed neighbor, Hopkins Kelly. Hop has
always proved himself to be quiet
good neighbor, and has always been a
friend to the needy, Hop always had
his peculiarities, but nevertheless, be
was honest and accommodating and
we are very sorry that he has gotten
in the condition that he is, and hope
to hear of his speedy recovery. Oh,
that Internal stuff that Hop loved SO
we'll, and imbibed SO much has been
his great downfall. Boys and young
men, let this be warning to you all,
leave the soul destroying, mental
wrecking, vitality robber alone, for it
will certainly bring you to your un-
timely end and the last aud sad end is
everlasting destruction. We are in
great sympathy with Mrs Kelly and
her little ones. Hop has a good wom-
an and three little children, one boy
and two little girls, left now all alone,
so to speak, to mourn and worry over
the results of drink and cigarette
l have been informed that
whiskey and cigarettes are the whole
cause of the deplorable condition of
Hop and his family. | hope this will
be warning to others, and that Hops
loss will be others gain.

good, clever neighbors.

Well, we are glad to have q preacher
move into our settlement, as we love
20 associate with good people, and if
my class of people on earth ought to
De better than any other class, it
