The Annual Meeting.
The annual meeting at the Baptist
church, generally known as the August
meeting, commenced on Sunday last
and is still in session, meetings being
held morning ami evening, which are
well attended. They are conducted by
the Rev. James Evans, an$ ha is ably
assisted by the Rev. W. R. Cox, of Au¬
gusta. Much interest is manifested iu
a religious point of view, but the results
cannot be stated till the close. As usu¬
al a goodly number of people are in
from the surrounding country, and the
homes of our villagers have been
thrown open with accustomed liospi-.
tality for the comfort of the visitors.
There have been so many visitors, and
the information furnished us so meager,
that only a few names of those in at¬
tendance together with their stopping
places can be furnished, and a partial
list is not desirable.
Death of Mrs. Helen Brlsiow.
On Tuesday evening last, Mrs. Helen
Bristow, wife of Thomas E. Bristow,of
this place, passed away to life immortal
at the residence of her mother, Mrs.
Francis McGinty, at Norwood, she
was a consistent member of the Pres¬
byterian church and passed gently
and quietly into the silent land.
She died after a short illness
from hemorrhage at the lungs,
leaving a husband, mother, litttle son
and two brothers with whom we deeply
sympathize in their sad bereavement.
May their grief at this sad dispensation
of God’s Providence be lulled into the
sweet consolation that she is supremely
happy in the ‘Paradise above ; may the
b
fountain of their tears be broken up by
the thought that her pathway to the
grave was bright and sunny, and that
she is now watching them from her
home in the s kies.

some negro woman, who would agree
for proper compensation, to scour out

insulted queen, and “no indeed, she
scoured out her own church, but she
did not scour no white folks church,
8 i, e W as not going te scour up no white

little thing, but it revealed the negro's
true sentiments towards the white race,
and she spoke for her whole race, only
necessity may force them to keep it
back, while stie was daring enough to
not care. I think if the farmer’s own
