The business houses were all closed and ihe school took a recess and the pupils, under the lead of their teachers, attended the funeral in a body.

Dn Key read a portion of Scripture and made some very feeling and appropriate remarks, a hymn was sung by the assembled people, and an able and most effective prayer was offered by Rev. H. T. Clark, the congregation kneeling. The body was then consigned to its last resting place, the most intense feeling of sorrow and sympathy pervading the entire congregation.

bv Correspondents for tho Present Week, WIXFIELD, ALA. Andrew Porte'-, who lives a few miles south of town, lost one of his arms in a gin a lew days ago. Have not heard any of the partic ulars. Webster, Jones Co of this place, came near losing their giir and HHwmill by fire Saturday night. The idled over the engine was in a blaze when discovered.

About 50 men were there in a few ntiiiule, and as water was handy and buckets plentiful they soon had the fire extinguished. Some of lha men who had property at stake did i.ot wait to dres, but ran out in their 'summer Our ruayoi grabbed a pillow for his pants, and ihe last seen of him he was trying to put it on, as he unexpectedly found some ladies at the fire. Northcutt Allen had the misfortune to get their cotton press broken aew days ago. They had to stop ginning until they could order a new press. W.

R. H. Lodeu is taking options on mineral land for a Northern man, who wants 6.000 acres of land near Winfield. Mr. Loden is optioning the land, top and bottom, at $3 pT acre.

He wants options on all the land east of range 12 to New Rir and north of railroad to Robert Webb's. All interested would do well to confer with Mr. Loden. The coal on this land is the best I have ever' seen. I am using it in the grate in my dwelling.

It is entirely consumed, leav ing nothing but a very little ashes. I dont't believe any belter cal is found in any country, and I predict that it will be opened up for market at an early date. If it will add greatly to the taxable list of Marion county, and would give the farmers a home market for their produce. Zachakiah. GUIN, ALA.

Several cases of fever in town. We are sorry to chronicle the death W. C. Akers' infant child, which occurred Sunday last. Judge Mathews came home and placed himself under the professional care of Dr.

B. Peterman will leave for Blocton soon. He is a jolly old man, and we regret to give him up. James Wildes and Jule Pope are tearing rags for Pearce Co. now.

M. M. Frazier leaves today for his winter's work collecting taxes. Will Shelton will have charge ol the store duriug his absence. W.

II. Bradley is on hand with a smiling face, ready at ail times to be polite to bis many frieuds. Everybody knows that John Ingle will meet a man half across-the street to shake h'u hand whether he wants to trade at the full store of L. D. Littleton or not.

Steve Baird and Bob Clark havt never been beaten for kindness and cheap goods. They want to live and let live. E. W. Brock has figured his goods down so that his customers know that John P.

Riley will sell them cheap and give the highest prices for country produce. Mrs. L. Y. Powers lias a full line of millinery goods at low prices.

Three carloads of salt in town at 65 cents a sack. Quite a number of our folks went to the Hepsiba baptizing last Sunday, while several went to the negro association. The Educational Board met here lat Saturday, and granted certificates to several teacher-. 5 Prof. Huffstntler is in his school agaiu after a severe spell of bilious lever.

So Losg For waive notes and other legal blanks call at the News-Press office. Rev, V. A. lilven Tells of II fs Worts for tlie Past Year. Editor Newa-Presa If you will allow nio I will use your columns as a medium through which to tell what wo havo done this year on Hamilton Circuit.

I have just closed our last meet ing for this year, making eleven weeks out of twelve that I have been engaged in protracted, meet ings. Wc have had good congregations all the year. While there has been a great deal of hard work for me to d(j it has Ik en a pleasant year to me. I could have made the work lighter and easier, but we can't "sail to heaven on liowery beds of ease. Spiritually, the churches are all doing very well.

We held our first protracted meeting at Hamil ton, and was most ably assisted by Bro. D. W. Ward. We had a good meeting, and all of our meet- ings have been of much benefit to 1 those who were in an attitude to receive good from them.

We have had the assistance of Bros. W. L. Kiee of Jefferson county; T. Sargent of Tremont Circuit, P.

McGlawnof Beavertou Circuit and Robert Wil son of Detroit Circuit. These are good men and able preachers. I was associated witli Bro. McGlawn in four meetings during the year and was the more impressed with him the last meeting than ever before. Bro.

Ward says Bro. McGlawn "sticks to his texts and will get there some day." Bro. Eicc's vi-it with us was very pleasant indeed as we were old friends, and he was from home. Bro. Rice is very religious and devoted to his work.

Bro. Sargent was so kind to us that we take great pleasure in ac knowledging indebtedness to him for his most valuable services. He is a faithful servant of God and an able preacher. Our association with him was very pleasant. It done us great good to be with Bro.

Bob Wilson and catch the fire from him, Bro. Bob is a fine re vivalist as all who know him have learned I have crossed a good many of Marion county's ridges and stopped at many of her homes. The travels have been very pleasant to us for Mrs. Biven has beei, with us a great deal. How can a man be a pastor of a circuit and not carry his wife with him? She is much in Jove with the people of Hamilton Circuit, We have received about fifty members into the church so far this ear.

There has been two Sabbath schools and three prayrer meetings running successfully this year. Everything is on loot tor a new church at Mount Zion. If they continue to work we will have a good church at that place. Taking all things into consideration, I think Hamilton circuit is on an upward move, spiritually anyway. I don't know so much about the financial part, but I think it will come out all right, as cotton is on a boom.

It will only be a month till I will have to appear before the "Great Bishop," and there give an account of the work I have done this year. Will you pay us something out of the proceeds of thiu cent cotton, on missionary claims and such like, that I may hear him say "well doue thou good and faithful servant." And shall he say return? Our Fourth Quarterly Conference will beheld a Hamilton, Jfoy. 2d and 3d. I hope we may have good congregations, as this will most likely be Bro. Brinley's last time with us.

He can't come back to Hamilton 'Circuit next year, and by the time he serves a term some where else he will likely be too old to come here again. 4 Bro. Brinley will attend to the baptism of, children at 11 o'clock on Sunday, Nov. 3d. I want to say that we shall always remember the people for their kindness towards us since we have been among them, and especially to the American 'public.
