OH AD LOIN OorrMpendlng Editor and Agent JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. SAYINGS AND DOINGS. —“I did so much enjoy his visit here,” eave bro'her Willie ol brother Hare's visit. Why should not every minister try to make his visits enjoyable anu not disagreeable? —“I enjoyed the Convention (at Madison) so much.” Yes, and it you had not, it would have been your own fault, Dr. Willis. —' We were made happy recently by the gathering in of our brethren, sisters and friends, bringing nuny beautiful and valua ble presents,” writes brother W. W. Roop, of Carrollton, Georgia. Who will be the first. pastor made happy that way in Florida? —"Whoof us does not read the'Florida Department' first of all ? We can’t do with out it, and—.” That is a “crumb” sweet to who? We did not say who. —“Dr. Fish is doing a good work. I am glad that he was warmly received at our Convention.” We give you our hand on that, Dr Willis. —“1 have heard, this veer, fifty Baptist sermons and lour Methodist, and can re member nearly every text, by whom preach ed, when and where.”—Mrs. 8. C. Harris. —“Charity and patience are two grand Christian graces I have earnestly tried to obtain. The former is mine—the latter is still to be won.” —"I fear I love our denomination too well.” 1 wish hundreds more of people were like you in that. —“I frequently remember you in mv feeble prayers.” Thank the Lord for that. We ask you, dear reader, to do so. —“1 think It (Index) the best paper I ever read."— T. W. Wilder. —“Bbo. Chavdoin : Last second Sabbath was preaching day at Providence church. Elder Moseley, pastor elect for the ensuing year, preached an in ten sting, edifying and harmonising sermon. It was like balm from Gilt ad. >iven by the skillful hand of Gilead's Physician. The church seems delighted with him, and proves itself pleast d by paying him quarterly in advance. The future pros pect is encouraging. Truly vours, “G. W. S. Wabe, “Mt. Tabor." —“Drab Hbo. Chavdoin : Quite a flood of sunlight came into the country pastor's home (not parsonage) last Christmas. First, a barrel of orangts, then turkeys, (mind, 1 say turkeys), and then a box of sundry com fortables, which made wife and children all happy. Yours in Christ. “H. M. Kino. "Gainesville, Dec. 30,1880.” We received this after we had made the inquiry above. Now, again we ask, who next? —Elder J. G. Taylor removes from Mt. Tabor to near Welborn, where his corres pondent* will address him in the future. Glad are we that our brother did not leave Florida. •-"Can wait no longer, for fear my paper will stop. With many thanks for not stop ping my paper, 1 am, yours in love, F. M. Wills.” How much like a Christian our brother writes. Header/ are you behind ? Look on your last paper and see if (you have paid to some time in 1881 ? —"Unclk Shad: You must excuse my short letter, tori have been helping Mamma, and had to snatch time to write. I am going to school now. Have got the promise of four Sunday-school icholars since you were here. I hope you will have a good time at ihe Convention, Wish 1 could have gone to it. You must come to see us soon, and bring Aunt Carrie with you. 1 am your 1 viug niece, Ida Hall. “Melrose.” Which one of our nieces will write us next, and tell us what they are doing for their Sunday-school? ALACHUA ASSOCIA7ION. Although late, we propose to carry our readers through our Associational campaign with us, but we will abbreviate more than we desired. Getting from the North St. John's to the A Incline was somewhat ro mantic, a little vexatious, and not very pleasant, except in small parts. How we missed the stetrmer Marion at Welaka. though in time to st e her smote; remained line e lew hours pleasantly wait ing lor a steamer to go to I'alatka. amt met a pleiirant Tennessean fr< m lira'' our birth place; how it rained in I'alatka etc , etc., we will say no wore about Suffice it now to say, we got to Fort McCoy in time to bear the opening sermon by Dr. Sams, ami to we attended all the sessions of the n.cetii g of this banner Association of Ihe State, unless it be theWestFlorida,which,in some particu lars, excels it. The attendance was good, nearly all the churches represented and quite a nuu.her of visitors, and consequently the number present al all the meetings was enliven ing. too. The reports sent up were good, and sever al new churches were nceived, but w. are not able now to give statistics as we would like, but will try to do so when we get the Minutig. • Missions occupied a large share of atte - tion, as should always be the cash, for they are missionary (Associations we mean) bod ?' spirit of missions in this body is above what it is in some others. and'tLe Sunday collections last year and this were as large as the average of the very best A*so ciatious in the older States. Elder Hughs has agretd to devote half his time to mis sionary work lor the body during 1881. A handsome amount was given to both the Boardeof the Southern Convention. ~ A u iNDKX boom wa- a marked feature of Uiis meeting. By considerable, the Alachua is the banner Association in support of Tn a Index. Almost all the delegates eithersub . or renewed. We asked for a sum sufficient to give the paper to two old minis* ters, and received about ten dollars for giv ing tbepaptr to good brethren and sisters who are uol able to take it Kverv minister in the. Association, perhaps, take* ‘the paper, and we verily believe there are numbers of good brethren who Want to lake the n*i er. but are not able to doit.i.e., they are not able to pay the subscription at any one time and hence, are discouraged. rw n . 'V? 1 J’ l ***’*'* ,0 u« was the meeting of Miss Mamie Walton, a former frier d ol ours, at Macon, Georgia. A true woman and working Christian is she. "Wherever I go, my church lettergora," she said to us. Hence, she is known to be a Baptist, wherever she goes, and does not wait to lie bunted up and begged to come out. Miss Mamie is teaching in Marion county, and is teaching in Bundayscbool, too. Our traveling companion, brother Pack, was well received and disposed of a good many books. The former officers, Elder W. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1881. Johnson and Deacon H. C. Martin, were re elected, and did well. The Fort McCoy people have plenty to eat and gave it to us in abundance. We have reason to remem ber longsister Williams and brother , who carried us to the church, after taking such good care of us. when we got off die boat. Reader, you need not smile incredu ou-)y, because we can t remember the broth er’s name. Hia features, his home, and kindness are all photographed upon our memory. The next session was appointed to meet at Leesburg. From the Association we were conveyed to the comfortable borne of broth er Hobkirk, one of nature’s noblemen, a na tive Floridian, on Orange Lake, where we spent a night and part of the following day as pleasantly as we could ask. In the after noon of next day we went to the residence of brother Stevens, at Cura, an earnest, work ing young Baptist from Ohio, and whose wife is a cultivated refined Christian wo man. the daughter of a missionary, and she was born in Burmali. Brother Stevens is superintendent or manager, aud we believe a partner of the firm of Bishop <fc Com; any. in a mammoth orange grove on Orange Lake. We went into the grove, and also into Mr. Harris' along aid • of it, and though we had heard much, and had our expectations high, we can truly say, "the hall had not been told ” Mr. Harris sold the crop of 18790 ti the trees, and received over 19 000 for it. and Bishop Al Co., perhaps, realized i early as much But we are going to quit, for we know bow unbelieving human nature is, and we have no desire for Munchausen notoriety. We will meet you gentle reader, next week, we hope, at Citra, and we will pro cead farther. W. N. C. A LETTER OF GREETING. Ylu know that many of our readers will be glad to ate the following beautiful letter from a good man, who is only waiting in the land of Beulah bis summons to come up higher. The reading of the letter before the Convention was an occasion of deep and solemn interest and it was ordered to be printed in tiie Minutes of the session : "To the President of the Florida Baptist Convention, convened at Madison. Florida: “Drab Brother —I desire, through you, to tender my acknowledgements to thebielli ten for their kind and considerate remain brance of me, by inviting me to attend your present session on this, the Twenty-sixth Anniversary since its foundation in the county where you sre now convened, and of which Convention I had the honor of being a constituting member, ami. consequently, one of the two or three survivors. "The infirmities of age, engagements here, and present illness, by the providence of God, prevent my responding in p-rson, allow me to say that I hope aud believe 1 am with you in spirit, and my prayer is that God may be with you. guidiug in ail your delibera tions now about closing, aud that His peace may be unto you. "Brethren, I am well aware that this world is not my home ; that I belong to the past generation, having already, by the grace of God. bad five years of life added to the Scrip t lira I number of years allotted man—and the truthfulness of that Scripture is exemplified and evidenced in me by that following, that the strength of those years are buttrouble and sorrow. "The world, brethren, during the existence of your body, has passed through many phases of government in Church aud State— our own country not excepted—and while the tendency is, and has been, to revolution, infidelity aud rationalism, it is a source of gratification to know, hitherto you have he d fast to the injunctions of Paul, to hold fast to the doctrines of our Savior, and may you continue in the faith of the supernatur al religion ot the New Teetameut, despite the wisdom of the Greek. "Again, brethren, I beseech God's bles-ing upon you, that lie will guide you in council, go with you as you journey, and restore you to the bosom of your families, to find rest at the termination of your journey, and may life's journey also terminate with peace and rest in the bosom of your God ; and. finally, to rest on the thrones of truth which you have inherited. "Yours in Christ, “8. Alex. Smith. "Thomasville, Ga.” HISTORICAL SKETCH LEESBURG BAPTIST CHURCH.

FLORIDA NEWS. —The lemon and lime trees on the Gul f coast are in full bloom. —Four families from Mississippi have recently settled in Hillsboiough county. —The beautiful new steamboat of the .San'a Fe Canal will be completed in a short time. Gov. Bloxham has pnrebased land in Polk county which he intends plant ing in orange trees. More visitors are reported in St. Augustine than during any correspond ing month of pievious years. —Miss Julia Cowart, of Hillsborough county, made on a half acre of land, one hundred and fifty bushels of superior sweet potatoes. —The Fernandina Mirror is publishing in its columns Stork and Bartrain’s Flor ida, a work of great value, which was published in 1765. —The St. John’s river at Jacksonville, we learn from the Union, had upon it ice three-quarters of an inch thick. All the banai a trees in the city were killed. The Peninsula railroad has been com pleted. Tbi< will complete the railway communication of Orange Lake with the world, and leaveyOcala only eighteen miles off. What fias been attained by the company to Orange Lake may con fidently be expected for Ocala within the next two months. Marion is one of the best agricultural and orange-growing counties in the State, and with railroad connection it will advance rapidly in every material interest. —The Fernandina Mirror says that "in addition to the large number of persona coming into Florida by every train and steamer, we learn that large numbers are coming in by private conveyance. A re sident of Starke informs us that at least one hundred conveyances of per-ona moving imo the country have passed through Starke within the last two weeks. We note these signa of an increase of our popula tion and means of husbandry with gnat satisfaction.” —Says the Fernandina Erpren: “By a decree of the Uniied States Court, Judge Settle presiding, the Atlantic, Gulf and West. India Transit Railroad w ill be sold on February 7, 1881. The sale is made, we understand, says the Unien, by vir tue of a harmonious arrangement bet ween all the bondholders, and will in no way affect the existing obligations of the company; on the contrary, it will, weaie assured, provide nsuni of money to put the road in first-class order by the pur chase of iron, rolling stock, etc. The bonds are nearly all held by the estate of Marshall O. Roberts." The present cold spell it is thought will not materially injure the Floiida orange trees, though in Some cases the fruit was frozen. A disnatch to the Nun and I’renf from Sanford states that there is no a| preciable injury fr.-m frost there, or in Banford Giant. Oranges, lemons, pine apples, guavas, all right, but tomat oes and some tender legetables were cut down. Col. Hart, of Palatka, thinks that the fruit on bis grove opposite that city on the east side of the river, is not in jured. He had large fires built near the grove the night after the freeze, and the up-river boats report seeing such tires all along the river that night. MARRIED.
