Preaching Sunday- Night.
Rev W D McGregor will prech at tbe
Methodist church Sunday evening at 7
o’olook. He will leave Monday morning
following for conference.
The First Tuesday.
There were crowds of peoplo in town
Tuesday. A larger number ha* not been
seen ou our streets in a loDg time. But
litlle property was sold nod the bidding
on this was not spirited. Evidently tbe
many folks did not come to buy lard.
Mr Sum Hunt, the county tax collector,
occupied a corner in the grand jury room
in the court bouse and judging from the
crowd around him all day he was the at¬
traction. John Barleycorn got in seme
heavy licks and more people left town
drunk than wo have before Reen in a iong
time.
They Want Him Back.
The following resolutions explain them¬
selves and we publish them with pleasure
as showing the high esteem in which his
churches hold Brother McGregor.
Whereas, the conference year is draw¬
ing to a close, and as this is the last ap¬
pointment Rev W D McGregor, our pas¬
tor, will fill for ua we cannot part with
him vithont an expression of our estima¬
tion of his services ns preacher in charge
of the Himilton circuit. Therefore be
solved 1 st, By the churches at Mt
Zion and Prospect that in Bro. MoGregor
we have had for two years a
zealous in the cause of the Master, uutir
ing m labors, abounding in good
end fearless in the discharge of any
which he believed would promote tbe
best interest of the church, and that
charge under his ministration has
and developed spiritually; and we
nestly hope he will be returned to
ue and enlarge the work so
begun. d, That this preamble
Resolved 2 und
resolutions be spread upon the
of the church conference, and that
Secretary furnish Bro. McGregor with a
copy of same.

Judging from the number of drunken

ters are easier than usual—that is unless
the stuff is sold on time.
Rev W A Farley and wife are now fully
intailed at the hotel and the traveling
public as well as the regular boarders find
ample provision made for their.wants.
Already the little tolks are
to the old folks what they would

folks are beginning to arrange forturkies

Miss B Combs Wood charmed a small
but select audience by her superior elo¬
cutionary powers in the college on Satur¬
day night' She would have had a better
audience on any other evening in the
week, and it is a matter of regret that
she could not be persuaded to remain
over and give another exhibition Mon¬
day night.
It is generally understood that the la¬
dies will have a public dinner and oyster
supper or something on that order daring
the coming holidays. They hope to se¬
cure the aid ot tbe entire community and

laudable effort to raise funds to
the Methodist church.

Burglars at Work.
Last night about half past eleven o’clook
an attempt was made !o open the iron safe
in the office of Hudson & Johnston,adjoin
ing their ootton warehouse. The attempt
was evidently made by professional bur¬
glars. One of the hinges of the safe door
was blown off and a bole was drilled in
the upper part of the safe, but for some
cause the blast was not made. Several
parties were on the street and giving the
alarm the burglars made good their es¬
cape, leaving an axe and a pick behind.
The night was pitchy dark and rain was
falling so that pursuit was impossible. It
is hoped that they may yet be captured.
