growth of the Millerite excitemente of
some twenty years ago, being founded
in 18 5 by a Quaker named Howland
and two women, sisters, Sarah Jane
Harvey and Caroline Hawks. They
went some twenty strong to live on a
farm two hundred and ten acres, at
at Petersham, which they have worked
in common to advantage. They were
first called Howlandites, from their
“ prophet,” but when ho was killed by
a runaway horse (leaving, by the way.
a gospel something like the llook of
Mormon) they became Fullerilos, j
Leonard C. Fuller becoming their j

bestows deserved praise upon the or

Southern workingmen during the re

that the cities of the South arc not as
crowded as those of the North with
men who cannot get work, or tramps
or dissatisfied laborers. But the real
reason for the quiet of the South when
all the other parts of the country were
overrun by mobs was the peaceful
disposition of her people. That they
went through all that week of crisis
and kept the pe n ce in Richmond,
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile New

South, where there were few regular
