The earth in the vicinity of the earthquakes has contracted so much that it Inis warped the railroad iron. They are cutting the iron and tak¬ ing out pieces. .Shocks continue to be felt n the suffering city to the night of the j si.vth. Alow rumbling noise like ! that! of distant thunder with an almost deafening moan grates upon the ears of Charleston’s frightened thousands. I The Courier .Journal savs tint re- ceipts of the Government since July 1st have been nearly four million dollars greater than duringtliesnme period last year. These figures are taken as an indication of the good state of business throughout the country. i strange Large johesix quantities mud of fine sand thiough and | e conn the fissures in the earth made by the earthquake. The water coming through the fissures taste like ar- tesian water. The odor that comes through tlie fissures is strongly im¬ pregnated with sulphur. There has been some complaint about our paper not getting up more local reading matter and editorials. Dear friends we may be at fault and will try to amend, but you take our place from week to week and see how much improvement can be made. El,I.A Y I f.I.E. If von want to see our town grow, offer vour ' resident and store lots for I ! . less . T keeping , good _ I money. 1 ou H-ro j cltiz(‘ns away by the liijdi prices! asked for resident atld store lots. No town can grow when such is the j ease. You are hurting your own] interest and seriously cheeking (lie j would be flattering growth of our ptetty little town. It never will grow unless you help it, by scaling your present prices. A small re- auction would help wonderfully and greatly enhance the value of what you do not sell. We make this as a kind suggestion. No one would be hurt by it, why not try it. Our own prediction is if you do not you will see when too late your great mistake. We have heard visitors speak in high terms o# our situation for a town of tlie most flattering growth and when they asked the prices of real estate, would reply your town will never grow at those prices. The citizens seem very de¬ sirous for others to move in and that Ellavilie put ou new growth, siiow your faith by your works, sell your lots reasonable and be you don’t sell them to speculators and you will be satisfied with the result in 12months.

We were detained at home ing on h siek wife, You who permitted to meet in your and worship the true and God, did yon try to breathe in ble prayer tot tod to stay his judg¬ ments upon those cities uiul places a filleted by the recent earthquakes. ’Fite last Sunday in August they l were called together to their several ! places of worsltip as many were I to-day by the ringing of the ; church hell*. No thought of a judg- meat in the way of an earthquake came in their minds. Sprightly | boys and girts went on Sunday morning to the Sunday school. They 1 spent the Sunday before as they did any other Sunday ... w ith no thought | „f wind awaited them. Ask that people to-day how they spent tilt . first Sunday in Sept. 1888. Ask them if they heard the peal of a single bell calling them together nn 1st Sunday in September. Various and multiplied reasons and tileries may be advanced by scientists as to the origin of the dreadful ity, but after all they are only dis- trsle tfil conceptions 1 of fallible mgs.
