Hatcheechubbeb, Ala., August 22.—
Things have changed wonderfully in this
community since 1 wrote you last,’ the dead
Jock of the aforementioned intensive heat
has been broken and the atmosphere is
cool and bracing. The weather, generally,
suggests the season of the sear and yellow
leaf; Ellas, of old. prayed that it might
not rain and so it didn’t for three years
and a half. The good people here prayed
that it might rain and God answered their
prayers. On last Friday he lifted the
flood-gates of heaven and the rain poured
and cooled the parched earth and ail veg
etation and man was made much more
comfortable in the flesh as well. The crops
are revived and are more promising. I
hear nothing new from the cotton cater
pillars’ Increased ravages.
Several deaths in the communit the
past week, and much sickness reported. I
am told that Dr. Smith is riding day and
night.
The protracted meeting at this place is
still in progress. It has been going on for
a week. The crusade of the Christians,
lead by Rev. Mr. D. C. Crook, has made
broad and successful invasions on the as
sumed territory of sin and ungodliness.
The evil spirit and his proud and pam
pered cohorts, that once held ambitions
sway over nil this undisputed domain
round about Hatchechubbee, have been
routed and put to an ignominious flight.
Yea, the devil, with his martialed and disci
plined forces, have met a Wellingtoiij arid
that which once proved to be his Sldon,
turns to be his Waterloo, and he is now
scampering for his Hel-ena. The good
people have prayed and asked, and they
have received, because they did not ask
amiss that they might consume it upon
their lusts. Heaven has been made to re
joice and hell to weep. The angels have
pitched their tents and camp on the hills
of Hatchechubbee. The good people can
truly say, “The victory is largely ours; we
have fought a good fight, enter thou into
the joys of the Lord.” A righteous sun
sheds its radiating beams o’er the seques
tered spots of a once hideous darkness. All
are standing—not facing the dawn, but in
the broad arena, luxuriating in the full
orbed noonday of religion. Mr. Crook is a
wonderful and invincible revivalist. He
uses Saxon that cuts like a Damascus
sword, only two-edged. It is hoped, after
these telling services and glorious works,
that it may never be said by any one, at
any time in the future about Hatchechub
bee, which was the modern Sodom, ns
Christ did, both pitiousiy and upbraiding-
ly, ofCapernaum : “Thou Hatchechubbee
which art exalted unto Heaven, shall be
brought down to hell, for if the mighty
works which have been done in thee had
been done in Sodom, it would have
remained until this day. But I say unto
you, that it shall be more tolerable for
the land of Sodom in the day of judgment
than for thee. The spreading and magnetic
influences of God’s spirit and works have
gone out from this place. There are
many people here to-day from Seale,
Hurtsboro, Ucliee, and other points attend
ing the meeting.
Your correspondent sauntered over to
the church this morning at the usual hour
for services. I stepped upon the portico
of the church and commenced to cast
about over the sea of heads, for a seat,
when I found, to my great disappointment,
that all of them were taken. Imagine
how disgruntled, so to speak, I was when
I reluctantly turned from the church
and wended II my way homeward.
Did you ever, on any occasion,
experience real, genuine, heartfelt, disap
pointment after having revelled all night
in georgeous anticipations ? If you have
then you can know about how I feel at
this writing. I am not particularly mad
%wit.h anyone, but am sorter out with my
self for not getting up earlier. I am very
much like one ofthe characters of a noted
humorist any way. I never think ofthe
consequences of an act until they are on
me. Some people, we know, prudent peo
ple, think of the consequences before they
act. Well, the slothful and sluggard shall
always be ahungered. Just me too.
I believe there is a better feeling exist
ing among the people of this community
in regard to school matters. They are al
most persuaded to be united. This, I ex
pect, is another good result oi the meeting
now in progress. Well, it is simply useless
to try to enumerate all the beauties that
originate from the earnest, Christian
W Mrs. B. went to church with me this
morning and some gallant and courteous
gentleman gave her a seat at the feast , and
she is there yet and I am writ ing,and at the
same time taking care of two babies; ana
one of them is young enough to make it
the link that not only binds the mother to
heaven, but to put the lather to searching
the premises at night for the paragoric
bottle. ,
But I am hoping for Mrs. B.’s return,
and you know that hope is the only source
of comfort for man’s imperfect condition.
There, now, Mrs. B. is at home. Our meet
ing was warm. I am not so happy. 1 he
first thing she said to me was—witherlngly
—“I am ashamed of you.” I asked why
with much astonishment. She said : Be
cause you left the church. I timidly and
tearfully suggested that the seats were all
taken, and she clinched the whole business
by saying that everybody else got a seat.
I promised that if she would forgive> me,
that I would remain next time, 11 1 had to
sit on the steps in the sun without ail um
brella. Thus it is that man’s most cher
ished and fond anticipations are_ made to
vanish in the dim distance and vista of dis
appointment. Man proposes and woman
disposes. ’•

Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Salem, Ala., August 23.—We went out
to Countv Line church, ot the lJapu.it
order, on' yesterday, where they nave a
large and interesting Sabbath school.
The writer’s first visit to this church was
in 1879, at which time there was not
enough young folks and children to oigun-
ize a good Sunday school, and now we see
numbers of young people large enough to
attend who were quite small .ben, and me
fast blooming into womanhood and man-
We had the pleasure of listening to a
very interesting sermon by their pastm .
Rev. D. S. Duftey, who has served them
since 1879, and is liked and beloted by
most all his brethren. \\ hen he in st -an
to this church he was scarcely known as a
preacher among his order, especially
the Tuskegee association, but now stands
well as a preacher and a brother among
the Baptists of his association.
They have had for the first time in se\
eral years a good revival and spiritual
meeting, attended with an addition of
twelve members by experience to thei
church, and in the evening was made to
rejoice to see them buried in baptism at
the hands of their pastor. A Uirge co -
course of people gathered l °?^hur to vu
ness the interesting scene, which is lot ely
to the Christian to know that other sheep
Jutve been added to His fold.

Seale, Ala., August 23.—The all-absorb-
iug topic of conversation now is the gun
club barbecue on Thursday of this week.
The club is making active and extensive
preparations for the grand event, which is
sure to be. a success.
Sam Chadwick caught a wildcat on the
Uchee Saturday morning, which weighed
23A pounds.
At the public debate Friday night lost
the Ciceronians discussed the question,
“Should the United States go to war with
Mexico under the existing state of affairs?”
The affirmative side won. Uncle Sam may
now proceed to declare war.
Miss Ruth Howard is spending some
time in Glennville.
Mrs. Johnson and her beautiful daughter,
Miss Carrie, of your city, aye the guests of

Mr. Henry Hunter, of Columbus, was in

Mr. W. D. Doughtie has returned from a
pleasure trip to Eufaula.
Mr. Herman Hirscli left for New York
yesterday, to buy goods for his firm.
Miss Jessie Cranberry returned from a
visit to relatives in Columbus, yesterday.
Messrs. J. S. Sweeney and J. H. Reneau,
of Birmingham, came down yesterday to
see Miss Oh! Go-ugh !
Quite a crowd from town went down to
Hatchechubbee yesterday to attend
f ireaohing. I understand that the services
here are becoming quite interesting.
The Enquirer-Sun did not arrive on
the morning train yesterday, very much to
the regret of its numerous readers here.
Miss Mary Howard lias returned from

Misses Gongh Bustln, Ida and Fannie

Smith's Slnlliin.
A correspondent from Smith’s Station
sends us the following:
Since the recent rains cotton crops are
very much improved. Corn was never
better iu this section. Fodder pulling and
hay cutting has been keeping the farmers
busy for two weeks, and we will have
plenty of roughage for our cattle this
winter.
There was a wild hog hunt on Mr. Jim
Pierce’s plantation Friday afternoon. They
succeeded in killing two very fine hogs
which weighed about three hundred and
fifty pounds each. Mr. W. A. Frazer and
George Barr claim to be the best shots,
but from the looks of the hogs there seems
to have been about a dozen brag shots.
There were fifteen men in the crowd. Mr.
Pierce, no doubt, feels greatly relieved as
they have been playing havoc with his
corn for more than two years.
Mrs. W. A. Byrd left to-day for Rome,
where we hope she will have a pleasant
trip and return very much improved in
health.

Navy-blue and brown willjie the colors
most generally worn next season. This is
plainly shown in the importation of cloths,
velvets and other dress goods, in dress
trimmings and in all millinery goods.
With the purplish marine blues cardinal
red will bo restored for contrasts, while
the brighter poppy reds will be used with
the new olives, which have more green
than the brownish and yellow-tinted olive
shades of last year. Black will be restored
to the favor it'formerly had for young and
old alike, and which it has never really
lost with rich women who can afford to
wear the costliest black fabrics. The new
blue shades are salnmmbo, serpents and
canard, with gray and green tints
in them, yet entirely different
from the peacock blues, or the cadet
gray blue of past seasons. The
new browns are rosewood and mure (mul
berry) for very dark shades, with lighter
capucine, cafe and maroon tints, while for
the red browns are Etruseon and Acajou or
mahogany, Dahilia and heliotrope and
plum shades are in great favor with French
women, and will make refined costumes of
cloth or velvet, while for lighter dresses
for the house are Ophelia and mauve
shades of cashmeres, with softly rapped
faille or velvet in combination. Gobelin is
another name given to the Salammbo blue
tints. Suede, salmon, corn and rose are
the pale shadeB most seen, while there act-
