Iiev. W. II. LaPrade has preached

Sunday school circles of old Xewton.
Almost every school in the county
was represented at the annual cele
bration in Oxford. All the exercises
were of a pleasant and interesting na
ture. The speeches and songs were
especially fine. A large crowd was
present, many prominent workers and
enthusiastic friends of the cause from
abroad were in attendance, and
erly love ruled the hours. The Bun
day school cause grows in strength in
this part of the state all the time, and
evidences of its useful work can be
seen almost everywhere. Besides the

‘ A fearful and fatal accident befell
the youngest son of Mrs. Wm. M.

inflicting a wound from which the lad
died the next day.
Rev. M. E. Cawthon, pastor of the

congressional race in this district:
“Col. Peek is booming up strongly as
a candidate for Congress from this
district. Although canvass of the
situation is being made in his behalf,
bu t it is a still hunt, aud few people
realize what is going on The Peek

strong, and they are afraid to stir him

stirring, he and his friends may wake
up too late. Peek is a very large fae
