Teeplos, was assisted by Rev. Robt. Williams of Saltke- hatchie. Mr. Williams is an earnest, logical, persuasive preacher. Mr. Peep les is a fine pulpit orator, and all of bis sermons are edifying. Their efforts at St. Johns did honor to each of them, and we are sure much good has been ac complished. The meeting began Saturday contin uing throe days; two services each day. Dinner was served at the church, and the spread was abundant. On Sunday the crowd numbered fully 600. . Miss Lula Kinard was the organist, and led the singing which was superb.

SlMEH. A Doctor’s Diagnosis. Editor Fron.r,:—Years ago there was a gr^at deal of complaint over the damage done by cotton caterpillars and boll yvorms. But nil the harm that they have done is but as a drop in the bucket to the loss inflicted by the cotton bacil lus. This new enemy to the South has attacked the brains of a majority of the farmers in the South Atlantic and Gulf States and crazed too many with the de lusion that they were on the road to riches while they were really on the down grade to pauperism. My studies of the cotton bacillus shows that it has an insatiable appetite for money, either paper or metallic, and it flourshes most in the shadow of real estate mortgages. Frequent experiments have shown that It fattens on Western provision*, but in every case where the patients have lived upon plain homo made food theii proper senses have been restored, tho holes in th,pir pockets closed, their mortgages satisfied and their prosperity, if not very brilliant, still becomes as solid as a silver dollar. I know it is in viola- tkm-'of the sometimes strained ethics of my profession to proscribe through the press, but the disease is so epidemic that I think caremony should stand aside. I guarantee a care in every case where the food is as above prescribed and the sick take* six days work in the week as a tonic. -- u. v. • IlaportAnt Meeting.
