H Gninu preached his farewell sermon in the Methodist church, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. As an evidence of the high esteem In which he is' held the pastors of the Missionary Baptist and Disciple churches-dispensed with services, and with their congregations, worshipped in the Methodist church. This exhibition of christian fel lowship, and of the good feeling prevailing among the different de nominations in our town, is to be commended, and was appropriate ly referred to by Mr. Guinn. His words of counsel, his admonitions, his exhortations were taken to heart by the congregation many of whom were visibly affected at the parting. He has wrought a good woik here and many are loath to have him leave. At the close of his sermon he read the financial report of the Wilson church for the past year. It is a gratifying report and speaks volumes for the mem bership and for the efficiency of the pastor. It speaks well for the liberality of our people. The report is as follows : Amounts Collected.

One of the 'hits" of the evening was the philosophy class of which the beautiful little Miss Lil- lie Smith was teacher.
