Sad l¥ews* A telegram announcing the death of mother at her home in Montgomery ty on Friday came here Saturday ltav W D McGregor. He had gone to his appointment at Mt Airy, £did not reoeive the dispatch in time to attend her funeral. His mother had been in feeble health for some, but wus not confined to her bed, and the let¬ ter received from her only a few days previous contained no intimation that she w r aa worse. The news of her death— which he thinks must have been sudden —was a sad blow to him, but he has tbe comforting reflection that she r.as a good Christian aud has entered into the rest that remaineth for the people of God. He has the sympathy of many friends throughout the Hamilton oirnnit f ’ 1100 9IJt s ^ oe dealer of C olumbns bag reduced prices on boots aud shoes to meet your lessened income by short crops.

Mr (much excited)—Well,no’am, we have some half jerseys. A Laudable Purpose. The ladies are still considering the question of giving a festival for the pur* pose of raising funds to repair the Metb odist church. Our noble women have only to decide that an enterprise is laud¬ able to enlist their energies iu its support and what they undertake is usually a suc¬ cess. Let them conclude to put the church in first-class order and in a few weeks they will rejoice in the knowledge that the house of worship has been pre¬ served from decay and decay and ruin by their efforts. Thanksgiving Service. A very good congregation of worship¬ ers gathered at the Methodist church yes¬ terday to acknowledge their dependence upon Him “who giveth the early and the latter rain." The pastor led the ser¬ vices and i.a a short discourse briefly re¬ viewed the blessings and benefits that crowned us as a nation and as a corneous rnunity the past yeai. At the close of the sermon the congregation bowed in humble gratitude and returned thanks to that kind Providence who has vouchsafed us so many blessings. An Attempt to Wreck a Train.
