That night I went home with Bro.
J. W. Smith, who with his excellent
wife, not only knows how but takes
pleasure in making a brother feel at
home. The next morning their son
Joshua, a youth of much promise,
took me to niv other appointment
at Gardner's X Roads. There was
a political meeting i.ear by. and
threatening unpleasant weather, yet
we had a good audience. The Dis
ciples, oif.-red us their chur. h to hold
our meeting. 1 talked ove- an hour,
taking for my theme the G range.
Many person-, it was reported. would
hand in their names at the next

i friend and brother, Wiatt Gardner.
; This Grange has for its Master a
'highly intelligent .brother 1). . II.
; Smith ; and the Secretary, J. M. Dix
lon, a young man of steadiness and
I competency. We regretted that our
j limited time prevented our longer
stay with these brethren --".'specially
with their Master. That intrht we
returned' to Uro. J. W Smith's :
midst lightning, thunder jand rain. '
Rut wc were soon made? cosy and ;
pleasant, and after a good supper, j
slept well.
The next day we repaired to Bro. ;
Dixon's, and it being the Sabbath,
attended a Bible reading and Sunday-school,
in the Free Mill Baptist
church, at Black Jack. . Bro. and
sister Dixon are always ready to
help forward any good cause, and
seemed to be the leading spirits
among many g(o I ' people in the
schooi.
After an early breakf:ist, the son,
7i "noble boy, took uic b hind a last"
team to the steam boat lan ling in
full time, so that we arrived at home
after five days of good work among
the best of. all people I lie fanners.
