No new members have joined up to the time we go to press, but large numbers have been in atten dance and the services are greatly en joyed. . Rev. Mr. Bachman has • won the love and confidence of our citizens of all denominations. His sermons at tract great admiration from all for their purity and earnest exhortation for good. These meetings have already been productive of much spiritual ele vation, and whether or not the mem bership of the immediate church be enlarged, many have received sweet blessings which can but be of lasting benefit. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Dun can, has been faithful and untiring, aided by brother Rosser, of the Metho dist and brother Bledsoe of the Bap tist church, and all denomination have worshipped together in beautiful unity. A Delightful Bain. This section is enjoying a delightful seasou as we go to press, from the effects of a good rain, a light shower falling splendidly nearly all Wed nesday morning, and another fine or.e at night making the supply just what was needed. We trust our cor respondents who so longingly announce the distressing need of the refreshing visitation, and all others, have been similarly blessed before their communi cations are returned to them in print. The Cemetery. We are requested by a member of the ladies’ cemetery .association to state that a roadway has been made around the entire inside of the enclosure now, and there is no necessity for those driving in the cemetery to go acioss the walks or graves. The road through the cen ter also remains. The ladies deserve <*reat credit for the noble interest they manifest in and the work they do for the cemetery. Clever Hardy Klliott.

Walker’s dry goods store, •-» few days ago, in search of news, lie could not learn anything more than that Hardy was still at the same old place, up to liis chin in big bargains, and wants all his old friends to call on him when needing anything in his line.
