Matt Carr’s three boys, who have beeh working near Morocco at the saw mill, have been having a siege of the chicken pox, but are reported to be getting along very well. The preaching service which was to have been held here Sunday afternoon was postponed until Monday night, owing to the fact that the preacher was unable to get here in time Sunday. The tent or tabernacle meeting will commence next Sunday morning about 10 o’clock, May 15th. It is not often we get to attend a meeting of this kind so near home and we extend a cordial invitation to all to come and take part. Not many people in Fair Oaks hhve succeeded in getting a glimpse of the comet, but some three or four report seeing it dimly. This cloudy weather is not very favorable for “star gazing,” or comet gazing either, for that matter.
