the public for their liberal patronage.
The public dinner and supper netted
the sum of $42.35, which will be used
for the purpose previously specified j
in the Journal.
Rev. C. D. Adams, who was
pointed to the charge of the Hamil
ton circuit, preached his first sermon
here Sunday. He was greeted by a
full congregation, and held their res

discourse. His sermon was well re
ceived and made a good impression
upon his congregation.
Mr. Henry B. Harris one of the
most prominent citizens of Harris
county, died at his home at VVaverly
Hall on last Sunday. He was a
member of the Baptist church and a
consistent Christian whose loss will
be deeply felt in the community.
He left nine children nearly all of
whom have reached years of maturity.
Many perhaps who were interested
in the financial success of the public
dinner and supper at the hotel, were
prevented from being present. If
there are any such who still desire
the privilege of assisting in the work
of repairing the Methodist church,
they can hand their contributions to
Mrs. Dr. T. J. Brooks who will re¬
port the same. Add to that chnrch
fund, and you will be happier.

die eye, tar, nose or throat, consult

the best wishes of a host of friends.
Before leaving for his new appoint¬
ment, Rev. VV. D. McGregor gave
one dollar to be divided up into
nickles and distributed among Sun¬
day school scholars. Rev. C. D.
Adams added to this sum, and each
scholar who received it, has fifteen
cents as a basis upon which to trade.
They are expected to invest, and
trade upon this amount, and at the
close of the year return it with all
they have made upon the investment,
the same to be applied for missions.
We hope that each scholar who has
received the one talent may work
diligently tb increase it, and bring up
ten at the close of the year.
The Journal had a pleasant call
from Mr. Pat Weldon a few days ago.
He is a successful stock grower and
has a smokehouse full of home made
meat. He says that he boils corn
in water with strong ashes and pine
tops and feeds his hogs on it for
week or ten days in the spring

never had a case of cholera in his

aU da y j n decorating the church, and
bang j ng presents on the beautiful

ful and ornamental, and were fit to¬
kens of love and friendship.
The organist Mrs. Jno. Hudson
assisted by the choir, opened the ex¬
ercises of the evening with a song.
Mr. B. H. Walton then stepped to
the front and made a brief but appro

Among the most presents
were mysterious packages wrapped
in multitudinous folds of paper,
which were received by our hand
some gallants of uncertain age, and
which were probably opened in secret.
When the heavily laden tree was
divested of* all its omamcets, Mr.
Walton, in behalf of the Sunday
School, presented Mrs. Jno. Hudson
with a lovely berry bowl, as a token
of appreciation of her faithful services
as organist during the past year.
This closed the exercises of a
most pleasant evening ana the au¬

Chiistmas was an ideal day. It
dawned as fair and lovely as a dream,
and “peace on earth, good will t:>
men,” seemed to pervade the pure
atmosphere like a benediction from
the Almighty. It was heralded by the
usual noisy demonstrations of joy,
but was not marred by street brawls,
or accident of ifty kind. The gath
ering at the hotel to partake of the
elegant dinner prepared by the ladies
was like a pleasant family reunion
The guests wer^ united in one com
mon purpose, and the satisfaction of
contributing to a noble cause, lent
cheerfulness to every countenance,
and a feeling of good will to every
heart. In no better way could the
day have been spent and we venture
to assert that all who contributed
have been more than repaid for
every cent it cost them. Virtue is
its own reward.
