August 9th.—The holiness meet-
ing. which has been in progress
Dear Dublin, closed last Sunday
night, after almost a continuous
Service of ten days Ale ut five
different services have been held
'eaih day and there were several
conversions at every meeting As
near as can be estimated there
were one hundred end sixty-five
pr fesenme. to say nothing of the
large number of professing Christ-
tens who succeeded in finding the
"seoood blessing,” according to
the duetrine of the holiness Revs
/ B W Huckabee and Bud Rtbber
sew have eunducted the ministerial
part of the services and thair
efl >Hi have been productive of
moch good. Tbe farewell ser-
vice Sunday oight was continued

bought and settled one of tbe most
desirable farms in the county. He
does his own work with exception
of s little day labor. Last year he
made more than enough meat and
corn to do him and one hundred
and forty gallons of the best syrup,
having one barrel of last year's
crop on hand. He made forage
plenty of all kinds. In addition
to more than enough supplies of
all kinds, he made thirty-three
bales of cotton. Mr. and Mrs.
Rassmussen have a peculiar way
of making one free and welcome,
but the most enjoyab^ feature of
the occasion was a delicious din-
ner, a table so laden with good
things and so varied in its make-up
that we only took a partial course,
but we cut a big slice as far as we
went.
