Mr. Gillis has just closed a very interesting meeting at the Methodist church in this place. Some twelve or fifteen members were added to the church, and we doubt not that great good was accomplished by the meeting. Jack and Alfred Gissendaner, colored, were before the county court last Monday, charge with thrashing their papa with a board, The old gentleman was present begging for his erring boys and a plea of guilty was interposed and a fine of one dollar was assessed against each with the costs which he promptly secured.

He has located at Echo for the practice of his profession and has also opened in Echo a first class Drug Store well stocked with pure and fresh drugs and medicines which will be sold to the people at a small advance on first cost. We had the pleasure of meeting in our office last Saturday Prof. J.H. Callaway, of Brundidge. We were pleased to learn from him that the fall session of the Brundidge Male and Female High School opened on the 1st inst., with very flattering prospects. Prof. Callaway and his worthy associates are worthy of the patronage that is being so liberally bestowed by the good citizens of Brundidge and surrounding county. Mr. J.B. Richards, formerly of this city, is a candidate for doorkeeper of the next house of representatives. His chances for success, so far as this section of the State can accomplish it, are very flattering. We clip the above notice of a former citizen of our county from columns of the Troy Enquirer of the 6th inst. Mr. Richards is well and favorably known to a large number of the citizens of Southeast Alabama, who would be pleased to see him elected to the position to which he aspires. Our Echo friends may be behind in some things but in matters pertaining to schools and churches they are abreast with the foremost. They have recently raised a sufficient amount of money to build them a new Academy and have contracted for the building of the same, and when completed it will be one of the neatest and most comfortable Academies in the county. We also learn that steps will be taken at an early day for the erection of a new Methodist church at or near the side of the old one. We wish them great success. All persons attending Circuit Court, can obtain good accommodations at reasonable rates at Mrs. Matthews’ Hotel. Special rates to Jurors and witnesses.
