of \the BaNykg. Nk
I lefthere on the 21st uit., in
company with Dr, M. K. Fhillips,

reached Buchanan in fimo to at

~ After spending a few days very
pleasantly with friends and rela
tives in Buchanan and ount ‘four
miles west of there, I started on
Priday in company with W. P.
Robingon, Esq,, for Cedartown, and
arvived there just. in timeto get
pretty decently wet by a shower of
rain that owvertook us just before
arrival 4t town ; went out that eve
ning on-the train from Cedartown
to Taylorsville and reached iny
brother’s, one and a half miles
from Taylorsville just befora night ;
found him quite, unwell--had been
suffering for three weecks _with an
abscess on the face, bnt was im
proving a little ; met quite a
number of friends and old acquain
tances at Floyd Creek chureh, on
the line of Polk county, on Sunday.
I found that county in the condi
tion of this section at that {ime-—
drenched with. heavy. rains,.and
farmers. unable to -do anything of
consequence-in their line. Tho
corn and cotion crops (though ver
y late) generally looked well where
they had been properly eultivated
up to the commencement of the |
rains. Isaw some that I thought
was about passed redemption, zm<ll
the indications there were, that il
the rain _continued much loager;
farmers gena%ally would hava con
siderable difficulty in putting their
crope:dn good order. The wheat and
gat ¢rops in that section are very
fine, but it was feared that both
crops were, to some extent, injured.
‘and if the rains continued much
i!onger, would be mearly entirely
ruined ; but I hope it may not re
;sxllt as serious as apprehended, and
as the weather is now {avorable,
that both ereps may be gaved with
out-any serious injury.

and joined the chureh at Mt. Zion, where
he hiad a hogt of friends, and with those
voices he delichted to sing and praise.
Under sore trials he left his sweet home

be a better man, and was greatly inter

last time he attended, and with tender e
motion, aud a 8 hé was leaving expressed
hislove for Mt,Zion and the good people,
and wanted to stav and be buried there.
~ Alter Charlie Parker left Bremen and
went to Oxmoor, he became more and
‘more interested in religion. e was a
regular attendant of church. There was a
protracted meeting on, and he went for
ward for prayers, was deeply affected,
and at his boarding house would repeat
the texts and a good part of the sermon.
e was a good and faithful Sunday
school seholar,and being with a religious
family he was free to say that he had
been a christiau, and intended to be one
again, On receiving a letter frow: his fa
ther, urging him to live for Gad—giving
good advice, he said to his room mates :
“I have one of the best fathers in the
world,and this advice is too good to lose.
I intend to be a better man; I’ never
give my father and mother any wmore
trouble.”” While sick he did not talk
much but what he did say was encourag

hig Savior—a parting token of hig accep

smile came over hig face he breathed his
last, » SR
He had repeatedly gpoken of hig adop

had everseen. She had taken' care of
him in his infancy and long since has
soared away to the angels. Thelieve,you,
I feel on agsurance. that her sweet spirit
had eome to welcome his to the society
of the blest. Aud when his wision of
earth and the loved ones here chased,he
gazed upon her and perhaps a host of
other ministering spirits beckoning him
away from earth’s sorrows and pain to
of light and joy, hence that beautiful
simile o, expressive of delight. Obh,
what a ehange! Oh, how mercitnl is our
