Simon Peter Richardson, of Athens, at Oconee street Methodist Church Sunday night, went for the Salvation Army without gloves.

The sermon was a strong one, and has been generally indorsed. The Salvationists are not doing much in Athens.

One or two, whose sense of justice and humanity was greater than their in dignation, insisted that it was not right to drive a human creature off in that condi tion, no.mattor what he had done elsewhere. Then, too, was the softening influence of a woman’s tears, and he was allowed to go back to the Madison House.

A. Roysteu, the proprietor of the springs, very kindly threw open his large hotel ami the adjacent cottages to the use of the Sunday school and its friends, which added greatly to the pleasure of the day. At noon a magnificent repast was spread under the shade of the trem to which everybody was invited and to which ample justice was done.

The citizens of Riverside, a flourishing little settlement up on the Ocklawaha river, are honest people, if reports be true.

A week or so ago the gentleman determined to go back to his old home and sold out the store, and started around to collect up the accounts that had accumulated on his books. Last week he left for his home with every dollar that was due him in his pocket, not a man or woman in the whole neighborhood failing to pay him all they owed.
