A STRONG APPEAL. The Sermon of Mr. Fry at Centenary Last Night. A large congregation heard Rev. J. A. B. Fry at Centenary church last night. The church was full, and chairs were used in the aisle. The preacher's theme was "Sin, as a Disease, and Christ the Remedy Therefor." It was a most earnest appeal; the preacher's soul was in his words. It was old time Methodist preaching, showing the nakedness and hideous deformity of the disease which is carrying millions into the depths of degredation and woe. The closing part of the sermon in presenting the Great Physician was eloquent and touching. Mr. Fry is faithfully performing his duty, and the good seed sown will spring up and bear fruit in season. Preaching to night at eight o'clock and tomorrow at half past ten. All cordially invited: It is Growing. We are always glad to hear of any thing that indicates the growth of pub lic sentiment in favor of permanent road improvement.

They are thinking men and have traveled and have seen the good of such work in other sections. Their opinions and interests are worthy of consideration and should not be ig nored.
