September 6th, at Asheville, by one of the leading Baptist preachers there.

departed immediately for Abingdon, Va., where they will engage in teaching.

sufferers at New Orleans in 1878.

where either mineral or farming lands abound, are sure sometime to reap a rich
reward.

Pritchard. The school house was filled with listeners from all over the
