A man by the nme of Robert Livingston, of Smith ville, was. arrested last Saturday on the charge of cruelly beating his three-year old child, that is blind in one eye. There were some very bad bruises on- the child's body, it is said. The prosecuting attorney, Mr. Pittmac, was shown some ground glass which Mrs. Livingston claims her husband gave her to take, claiming that , it was sent by Mrs Parks, a colored woman who claims to be a sort of a faith doc tress. The' woman says she did not send anything. Livingston has been

bound over to the Circuit court, his mother furnishing the security. The wife of Win, Gracey died on Saturday last of pneumonia, having been sick only a few d ays. Gracey ia now serving out a two year's sentence to the penitentiary for forgery, and his time will be out next Mav. The deceased was compelled to work very hard to support herself and child, and a-helpless, aged mother. What she earned was by washing, and it was in the pursuit of this employment that she contracted the disease. Previous to her illness she frequently alluded to.the happy time when her husband would be released.

Mr. E. F. Tenant, editor of the

Cloverdaie Herald, is a former employe of this office. ' While hero we

one time thought seriously of studying foi the ministry. He was strictly temperate, truthful, not profane,

I dianapolia Review, and all the Bed

Anotner Card Fr om Cburch Heraber. I r.ee in your last paper an articie headed, "A reply to church member" and signed uAuut Eliza' Alter reading the article 1 found that it was no reply to me, but simply an argument in favor of revivals. I agree wub "Aunt Eliza" that revivals are: a grand -thing when conducted properly but the name is a misnomerRevival is to revive, and revive is to gwe new life to something that was dead or in a dormant condition, l am sorry to think that ministers would allow religion to come that way. The point I was trying to makje is suggested in a sentence in Aunt Elizas article. 4If the church j will reach ;riown its clean hands" etci the church means the church members. .- . . " - .'. j . Have they all clean hands? Thats the question. Then again, Aunt Eliza quotes from Burns, which in plain English is, "Would some powei the gift give us to see ourselves as others see us." This would be u good thing tor those of the church who imagine that the world thinks them curist ians to bear in mind; to quote furth

er from "Aunt Eliza:" "They come

n to the church, listen to the forcible

arguments,' etc. Cannot one go mot a church on any Sunday and list

en to forcible arguments? Or are

only forcible arguments used during

protracted meetings? If persons are

converted by forcible arguments only

why do they not join the church in

arge numbers at other times than

luring revivals. According ;to Aunt

Eliza' argument people are converted

The revival meetings, conducted by Mrs. Robinson, closed the sixth week to-day. When we take into consideration the number who have claimed to have been converted, the meetings may be pronounced a decided success. Mrs. Robinson certainly has wonderlul powers of endu ranee, as well as a happv way ot ar onsing the sinner to repentance. It is not settled how long the meetings are to continue, but they will probab ly be kept up as long as there is an' material to work on. The list of converts now foots up to about 140.
