Reinhart from Richmond, Va.t delivered a lecture on temperance at the Presbyterian church last Sunday afternoon of nearly two hours’ dura tion. His topic was, “As it is in the South,’’ but he devoted his address to the temperance question in general, much to the disappointment of many who went to hear how it was in the Southland, to which very little allusion wss made. Like a good many speakers on the subject, tyie gentleman was rather too intemperate in his remarks to be.convincing, and said very little outside of the stereo typed expressions of the usual lec turer on the subject. He is a very rapid speaker, too much so to be dis tinctly intelligible to his bearers, and lacks to a very large extent the pleas ing *nd winning war of reaching Ms hearers’ hearts so telling In such men M Murphy^ and other noted Sugar, 18 lbs., for $1,00 Salt, by barrel, 1.68 Com Starch,per pkg. .05 Broken Rice, 5 lbs. .25 Best Jap.
