M. E. CHURCH.—Last Sunday '-vas the occasion of much interest at the 31. KChurch, it lieing the time the pastor Rev. T. S. Webb, preached his last official sermon 111 this charge for the present Conference year. The large auditorium in the church was densely tilled bj not only the members and attendants at this church, but communicants from other churches in the city. The preach er's subject being "Live not for sell' alone," his sermon was a practical one and contained much that would be useto his audience if they but heed and put it in practice. He briefly reviewed the

Richard llargrave, James L. Thompson, G. M. Eeswick, Milton Mahan.'John C. Smith, G. M. Boyd, Allen A. Gee, W. Graham, L. Nebeker, and many others. Three years ago the retiring pastor Rev. T. S. Webb was appointed to take charge of this station. Soon after one of the greatest, revivals ever known in the city, took place. It brought into the church a large membership representing almost all professions and classes. Tin membership then was one hundred and tiftyone: now it is nearly four hundred. The church edifice had been begun and was partly finished. Since then it has been completed and comfortably furnished. The parsonage has been enlarged and improved and now* it is one of the most desirable homes lor a preacher in the North Western Indiana Conference. During the three years of Mr. Webb's pastorate charge he has collected and canceled $7,300, leaving the church entirely free from debt. He will leave with the proud satisfaction of knowing that his successorwillnot.be called upon to arrange and adjust old claims. By courteous demeanor and Christian walk he has won the confidence and esteem of all. The good wishes not only of the congregation over which he has had charge, but of the entire community. will follow him wherever he may be called to labor.

DRAFT JIORSKS.—Our County Fair promises to be a success in the exhibition of fine stock. J. S. Gray and E. J. Baldwin will have a line English draft horse on exhibition, weighing 1,900 pounds. LaFollettc & Co. will also have a fine French draft horse 011 exhibition, weighing between 1700 and 2000 pounds. Each of these horses is valued at $3,000.

OUR old friend, Jonas C. Largent has sold his farm, six miles from this city, to Isaac Cox. He is preparing to go to Cherokee county, Kansas. Jonas has lived there forty years and his friends and neighbors are loth to give up so good a citizen. May he live long and prrfsper in his new western home.

WK are informed by John Hutcliings that David Enoch has in his possession a Chester White pig of the male persuasion that beats anything in the county. He was six months old the 5th of this month, and weighs about 150 pounds. We know that Mr. Enoch keeps nothing 011 his farm but fine stock.

CHURCH DKD{CATION.—The new Methodist Episcopal Church at Waveland will be dedicated on Sunday, September 19. The services will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Moody, assisted by other able ministers.' Former pastors, neighboring ministers and the public generally are invited to be'present. 5

Special Notice.

I want to build me anew house. I have bought the ground, and it took all my •'checks" in hand, and more too. Clever bankers loaned me the balance at one pe/ cent a month and extras. Offers to build me said dwelling are pleuty, but they all want their money every Saturday night to pay their hands. Now 1 have accounts over due from six months to five years so friends pav up, (and by this will I know my friends'.) I aislike to have any dealings with the officers of the law, but you who owe me old, unsettled accounts will have to pay costs to said officers, sure, if you neglect this warning. The doctor has kept your health good so that your labor, rich soil and our favorable season have yielded you an abundant harvest. 1 appeal to your honor in this matter, as I would much rather rely on this than the law.
