The congregation of tile colored
Methodist church on Depot street
hntl a glorious gathering hist night.
It was the "shoutingest'' meeting
held in F<>rt Mill in many a day.
The shouting was louder and was
heard further than at any other
meeting. A protracted meeting j
has hoen going on there for miii" I
awhile under the direction of Kev. |
Make, the pastor. liiint night he
liml the assistance of llev. A. M<*. j

with a mighty great call, lie
is a good preacher, and those white
people who paused on their way
!?otii?? to listen were delighted with
'hthl"fvtuly flow of native eloquence.
rte'-ftjU warmed up as the spirit
m-?sw'*iin ft?red and fervor, however,
and while ndVch that lie said was
disconnected, it worked his hearers
iVp to a frenzy.
The pleaching and shouting continued
until a late hour in the
night. There was just no sleep for
anybody within nianv yards of the
chnroh ami the residents of that
.part;of1 town hope that there will
lie a little loss fervor in the meeting
next time.
One fact should muke many now

to be sent to and returned
from the fair without coat to the
exhibitor.
