Rev. J. -M. Mull Is Delivered an address in the courthouse last Sunday to a large and attentive audience.— His subject was on the with drawal of the fellowship of the church from him. Mr. Mullis has been a minister of the Primitive Baptist cliureh fora long time, when about two years ago there was some misunder standing between the church and himself and fellowship was was denied, hence the separa tion. After the meeting was ad journed the audience was asked to remain a few moments, when the following preamble and res. olntion were offered by Col J. C. McDonald and others and Vijted on almost unanimously: Whereas, Rev. M. Mullis has this day addressed an audience in Waycross, explaining his po sition, opinion, etc., as to his re moval as a minister from* liis church. Therefore, be it Resolved, As members of the audience who heard his address that "we believe his iuteutious are honest and his purposes pure, and hereby. express our sympathy for him as a man and Christian, and recommend, as non-sectarians that his church reinstate him to full fellowship To Our Pa trons. The year is fast) approaching its end, and as wc take a .retro spective glance ofcleven months that have beeturollcd up on the reel of time we hope and believe we have done our duty. We think we have given you a good readable, wide-awake paper, at least we have tried to do so, and and the long list of subscribers upon our book is a sufficient gunrentee that our efforts have been appreciated. Some of those subscribers owe us small sums for subscription, while equally as maiiy owe us for ad vertising, job work, etc.— Through the summer we have not annoyed them with duns because we did not feel pressed for the money, neither do we stand particularly in need of it now, but this is generally the time when a year’3 business should be settled up, and we want what is ours- Our office expenses are cash down, or no go, so is our ink, paper and other printing material, all oi which have been paid that you might have your paper, work, etc., and now we want our mon ey back. Those who find a red cross on the margin of their pa per will know they are due us something, and they are invited aiid earnestly requested ‘to waltz to the music’ and settle the bill. Those who do so will receive a receipt with our thanks, and a promise to extend fair treat ment in future with becoming accommodations. SARAH-A. HIGGINS. Interesting to Ladies. Our lady readers can hardly fail to have tlicir attention called this week to the latest combina tion of improvements in that most useful of all domestic implements, the “sewing machine.” [ As we ui d rstand it, a machine for family use should meet first of a!]l these requirements: It should l>p simple in its mechanism; it should run easily; it should do wide range of work; it should be a* nearly noiseless as possible; it should be light, handsome, dura- and as cheap as is consistent with ex^Hence throughout. These conditions the “Light-Run ning New Home” ccj^ainly meets, It has also several very important and useful attachments and “no tions” of its own, which go far make good its claims to popular favor. The “New Home” specially recommends itself to purchasers on account of its superjpr me- clianicai construction, case of management and reasonable. Over half a million have been sold in the last three years, all of which are giving universal satisfaction. This unrivalled machine is manu factured by the NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE CO., Orange, Mass., and 30 Union Square, New York.
