Hancock, of Adamsburg, that a couple of negr eg were camped in a gulley last Saturday morning. He did not know who they were and asked them if t.hey were sleeping there. They told him yes. lie went away and got a dozen men and returned to find out more about them, but the camp was deserted when they returned. They had very comfortable quarters. The camp was near Mr. F. M. Adam's home and it seemed the negroes had been occupying it for some time. Tht camp, being in the head of a gulley, and well concealed, the location was only discovered by the smoke Saturday morning. The negroes have not been seen since. Another Robbery. While Mr. and Mrs. 1. N.

While ever)thing in the house was tumbled more or less, a 1 that Mr. Harris has so far missed is several dollars in ohange which he had in the bureau drawnr ntirl a lra ? - nftno which he kept iu the pantry. This whs the first time the house had been left alone for a long time. It is not known who the thief was. Rev. I,. I,. Wagnon Ordained. There was a good congregation present at the First Methodist church Sunday. Bishop Duucan preached one of the b^i-t sermons that we have listened to i?. son e time front John, 15th chapter and 12 It verse The subject was appropriate to the occasion. The; llishop delivered his wi mon in his usual linpvtssive manner that, carries conviction with hiseveiy utterance, and every word was listened to with almost breathless attention by the large congregation. After the sermon the ordinance of Deacon was conferred upon Rev I. L Wagnon by the Bishop, assisted by Presidiug Elder W. P. Meaiors and Kev. W. A. Massabeau. Among the visiting ministers p<eseut upon this oeoasion beside those above mentioned we noticed Il?v.s. W H Miller, of Union.

Rice preached an interesting sormon^u tht Fiist BHpiistchurch from James 1st ciiaptet 12ill verse ' And me sin, wnen lull g<owu, bringeth foith death." He showed how the pail) of sin was strewn with 11 ?wers, haunting biooks and other senses, to lure the wayfarer along, keeping his mind attracted to these temporary pleasures along the pathway that he might not look down to the end and behold the hydiaheaded mounter sin, full grown, lest he should halt'and cry out. to the leird to save him lest he jterish. It was a picture to make one shudder, hut it was a picture true to iife. Tlu re w is one of the largest congregations out that we have seen in qui'e awhile.
