the cutting of the long tunnel,

some time, has been abandoned
and a new and more practicable
route taken up. The new survey
requires the cutting of about a
thousand feet more canal than
the old line and two tunnels of
about tho same length as tho old
one, but it is thought that all the
work can be completed and tho
water put on the mine by the first
of August. By the first proposed
line it would have taken some
seven or eight months to com-'
plete the tunnel on account of the

this tunnel has already cost two

From Rev. N. A.
White.
To the members of Oak Grove
church, I desire to extend my
thanks for your kind inyitation to
preach in your church last Sunday
evening, and I really intended to
do so, but after preaching twice
and riding 20 miles and uot being
at all well, I did uot feel equal to
tho physical strength necessary for
another service.
1 admiro the spirit of prompt
ing the invitation. Why not help
one another and yet remain loyal
to our church?
1 hope to be able to be with you
at some other convenient time,
and I will appreciate any assist
ance you ean render in any part of
iny work.
Our purpose is tho same, then
why not help and encourage ono
another in consuniating this pur
pose ?
Respectfully,
N. A. White.
