A slow drizzling rain fell here nearly all night Tuesday night and all day Wednesday. It puts the ground in splendid condition for the winter. Corn shucking is delayed a little, but there is plenty of time for that, as good progress has been made. The sun came out clear and warm Thursday morning and every thing looks bright once more. J. H. Seid says that while oth ers are bragging about their fine corn he wants it understood that he is something of a corn raiser himself. He has an ear of corn that has twenty-six rows on, and .there are sixty-two grains in a row, making a total of 1612 ker nels to the ear. If any one can beat it let them produce the corn. That is certainly a big ear of corn.

I We take pleasure in again call ing the attention of the public to the special meetings now oeing held at the Christian church by State Evangelist Samuel Gregg. Bro.Gregg is a man of force and very logical in his preaching, and best of all is the sweet spirit in which he presents his subject. If you are looking for something to offend 1 you will only hear the preaching, of the "the word," and Bro. Gregg is surely as the apostles of old is "as wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove." His themes for the rest of the week and over Sunday will be: Friday evening, "Repentance." Satur day evening, "The .cleansing of Naaman." Sunday, 11 a. m., "Gods Memorial;" 7:30 p. m., ,'The church and its blessings." Other announcements later. .. Again we invite"the attendance of the public, and to the mem bers and their families remem ber the Thanksgiving day ser vices. J. W. Sapp. J M. Alread of St. Deroin pre cinct died Monday night of this week, from pneumonia. Mr. Al read lived alone on a small farm near St. Deroin. About three weeks ago some one remarked that he had not been seen for a few days, and when they went to his home he was found sick. He was cared for, and later re moved to the home of a neighbor where the best of care was taken of him, but he grew steadily worse until he died. The funeral services were held Wednesday and the remains laid at rest in the Prairie Union cemetery. Mr. Alread was a christian gentleman who was highly re spected in the community in which he lived. He was super intendent of the St. Deroin Sun day school, in which he took great interest, and where he will be sadly missed.
