The protracted meetings being held at the M. E. church last week and tins week are proving of quite a little intrest. Rev. Hawley is an in teresting speaker and deeply in earn est in the work. Sunday morning some forty young people expressed ! decision, while Sunday evening, with | a crowded house, a number went | forward to the alter. They will at ! least continue throughout the week. Alfred Anderson’s big public sale j last Thurseay received the biggest ! crowd of any sale held this season, j there being a crowd estimated at 500 i present, and so many bidders that Col.

Our people, and especially the friends of Mr. Henry, will be inter ested to know that he contemp lates entering the ministry of the M. E. church, and that his visit to River dale was with that end in view. He was deligeted with his reception by the good people tiiere and was equally delighted with that little village. For several years Mr. Henry has had in contemplation as his life work the ministery of the Gospel, and we are violating no confidence in predicting that should he finally decide to go into that calling he will prove an earnest and successful worker in the Master’s vineyard. This editorial family was joyfully surprised last Friday evening oy the home-coming of the editor's son, Rev. Frank YV. Burleigh, who had arrived the day previous at Lincoln, from Columbus and Jasper, Ohio, on their way to Valentine.

While here, he is assisting in the pro tracted meeting at the M. E. church and proving by his zeal his earnest ness in his life u'ork.
