The machinery of the McCall I I'Hirmo; Mills has reached Marion, and will soon be arranged for business. Thanksgiving services were 1 ;-.!d yesterday in the Baptist, Epis copal, and Presbyterian churches at i i o'clock a. m. The dense smoke the past few days has made the sun in this region appear as a ball of red fire a large portion of the time. On Crooked creek last week the burning woods enveloped some hos and sheep, burning them to death. Mr. J. L. Davis lost sev eral hogs. A teligious historical address nil the 250th anniversary of the Westminister standards will be made in the I'resby terian church 011 Sunday next. Mr. (ins.

The ladies of the Presbyterian church will sell refreshments on Tuesday evening, Dec. 14th, for the! purpose of raising funds to buy a new organ for the church. The late meeting in which Kcv. ('. A. Munroe was engaged licit- has done substantial good to many members in a revived life and a better fitting for future nuik. It is apparent that there is haimony and more vigor. -Married, on the second Sab I ..ih tl this month, at the home of the btide's father on Buck creek, Mr. J. (i arret Palton and Miss s 1 v.uinah Kllis, Kev. J. C. Sorrels Iministering the ceremony. Our inpliments are extended. Mr. G W. Battle, formerly of M-'tganton, has opened a stock of family groceries, confectionery, ami ft nits in the Seigle block, be tween Cline's shoeshop and the furniture store. His home is with 1: s son-in-law, Mr. J. B. McNeely. The Methodist minister who s u'ceeds Kev. T. J. Rogers at this ; i me and at Bridgewater is Rev. J. 1. Sherrill, lately stationed at Waynesville, Mr. Rogers taking his place there. We wish him ' ! speed in the Master's work in i s new field of labor. Kcv S. L. Thompson, pastor : the A M. K. Church at High Point, preached the funeral of Rev A Mclntyreat New Prospect last at bath. On Monday he preached ! a crowded house at Carson's Hail in town, after which there was a general, joyous handshaking with his old friends here. The next meeting of the Mis s nary Society of the Presbyterian 1 hurch will be held at the home of Mrs. K. I-". Greenlee on Saturday -tternnon before the t ,:rd Sabbath n December. The society has 'etermined to raise funds as soon possible with which to buy a : e.v organ for the church. Master James Crawford, sen ! ur postmaster, Mr. G. XV. Craw- : id. reached his tenth birthday n Tuesday, when, to the joy of : young boy friends a happy : '"'-.'light of his was put into shape m having them to join him in a ' '" pulling. The candy was never teeter, and the cup of youthful y was full. Col. P. J. Sinclair has received 's new mill machinery, which has it been placed in his mill on Muddy creek, a few miles south of Marion, and within a few days he '11 be turning out first-class flour v the roller-process method. His ' 1 rench burrs" are used ODly for grinding corn. The business man who tells the public in an attractive adver tisement about the goods he offers is the one who gets the largest business. The Messenger goes into the intelligent households of Marion and the surrounding country, and the merchant who desires the trade of the best people will invite It through these columns. The ladies of the Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church have shown in a most practical manner their sympathy for and appreciation of the efforts of their pastor, by giving him at their last monthly meeting a purse, which was received and will be remem bered with the greatest gratitude by him. This encourages as we labor in the vinyard of the Lord. May they, each, be blest in "basket and store," and in an abundance of "the true riches." Mr. J. H. Gorman, one of Mari on's jewelers, went hurriedly this week to the plantation on Buck creek, on account of the fire in the mountains threatening property. He reports that Mr. Spencer Elli ott had some 600 panels of fence burned and that his dwelling nar rowly escaped being destroyed. In that section occasionally the flames would leap in a few min utes to the top of tall, dry trees and sparks would be blown to other localities. But the steady rain of yesterday was welcomed by our friends in the mountains and by us all in putting out "wild fires." Much damage is reported to timber, outhouses and fences in Yancey and portions of Mitchell county. An Infant Found Ied. On Wednesday we learned of a sad case of death. The infant boy of Mr. J. M. Ma.shburn was found dead id bed with its parents that morning. It did not appear to be ailing in the night, and there was no alarm. The cause or death is not known. The child was about three months old. Much sympathy goes out to the parents. The burial took place in the IJrovvn family burying ground on Tuurs- J'y. Little 1'eoplt)' Enlertalntneut. The " little missionaries " of the Presbyterian church gave a birth day party at the Eagle hotel on Wednesday night. Each child gave as many pennies as he or she was years of age, and the money thus collected will be sent to the Orphans' Home at Barium Springs. Some forty or more children took part. Iu the cakewalk Demargo Sinclair aud Klma Carson received the first prize the cake. Steve Gruber and Sallie Finley, and Carson Sinclair and Mattie Guy deserve special mention as very nearly reaching the first prize. The booby prize was awarded to little Benny Poteet and little Agtiws White, being a beautifully deco rated tin cup aud saucer. Tour dollars was realized for the Orphans' Home. The children greatly enjoyed themselves iu the dear old-time home plays. The taetuoiltat Conference.

The forest fires have gone past our town or burned out with no serious damage in this immediate vicinity, but I regret to learn that some of our farmer friends living on or near Hickory Nut mountain were uot so fortunate. Mr. Cain Davis is reported to have lost fit teen sheep and six large fattening bogs which, being caught by the flames iu one of the numerous caves, were burned to death. This is quite a severe loss to this good citizen. Dr. aud Mrs. W. XV.

The neat handiwork of that clever young man, Mr. Winslow Crawford, is seen iu new signs at the Blocker House and the post office. Postmaster Blalock is leav ing nothiug undone which may be required for the convenience of the patrons of the postoffice. Many improvements have been made of late ou the interior of the Baptist church building here.

Nov. 24, 1897. The Surprise of All. Mr. James Joues, of the firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, HI., in speaking of Dr. Kiug's New Dis covery, says that last wiuter his wife was attacked with La Grippe, aud her case grew so serious that physicians at Cowden aud Puna could do nothing fur her. It seemed to develop into Hasty Con sumption. Having Dr King's New Discovery in store, and selling lots of it, he took a bottle home, aud to the surprise of all she began to get better from first dose, and a half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well. Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Cough s aud Colds is guaranteed to do this good work. Try it. Free trial bottle at G I. White's Drug Store.
