JULIUS HINES & SON, Baltimore, Md. Please mention this paper. Drs. R. J. Teague andE. J. Tuck er left yesterday morning for New York, where they will take a course in their respective professions. It is presumed that Dr. Tucker is fitting himself for a trip to the Kkmdikt, being under contract with The Courier to furnish it with a weekly letter. je W A. Duncan is one man who beliew s in selling his tobacco on. the Rdxboro market, and is always the gainer thereby he sfys. He made the following. sale here a rew days ago: 12 lbs at 5, 98 lbs at 10. 150 lbs at 16, 70" lbs at 20, 232 lbs at ?0, 170 lbs at :d5,:9B.lbs at 5,118 IBs at. 8, and. 70 Iba at 10 making aa aver age'of $19.70 for the load of 1004 pounds, which was just like stripped from the stalk. L. G. Clayton, who lived near Alleusville, in this County, died suddenly at his ".home on Sunday evening December the 26th Mr. Clay to u was an old man, more than seventy years, and was a man of whom his neighbors all spoke kindly and was a prominent man in his neighborhood. He had been on the Democratic Ex. Committee of his township for many -years, and also filled the position of magistrate for a .long time, i He leaves a devoted wife and several children to mourn their loss. Nothing succeeds like success, and when a man is successful he is sure to want the world, to know it, and there is no better way to inform the world of it than through tne columns of some live newspaper. Upon ' just such faith as this Messrs. : Hunt & Walker have succeeded; in - doing p, business far beyond their expecta tion. - We call attention to " their 'Special Sale" which-will take place in Milton on Wednesday, Jan'y. the 12th. There is no man living that will work harder to see : that every one who favors him with a load of tobacco is; entirely satisfied than? will Maj. Hunt.

Gales, of Roanoke, Vay began a series v of services 'o. in the M ethodist church, .since then hold ing services twice daily.. His preach ing is of an exceptionally high order," being entirely free from any slang or doubtful phrases, so often used by the modern evangelists. His thoughts are clothed in the most beautiful english, he speaks with ease and his pulpit manners are well nigh perfect The congregation has not'1 been as large as it should have been, out it is growing at . each a meeting the church being well nigh full at the services last night Not the least enjoyable part of the service Monday night was the sob by Mrs. Gales This part of the service was omitted last night, but we hope it will be a special feature at each of 'the , night meetin gs I hereafter; for there are many who would go to hear these solos who would not otherwise attend and once inside the houseof God they are too much of the gentlemen to leave before services are closed. Services every day at 3 and 7 p. m f Everybody cordially invited. j'iv-vvV,"- BelOw we give a few extracts of what those who have heard Rev. W R. Gales have said of him : From The News, Augusta, Qa. -i , Mr. Gales has been -doing evange listic work for several years, and has C.UuNfv. vlnaveiin'gs & 'tiz,k ptacos of importance throughout the. South and. West. " Mr. Gales was converted at the age of 31, and is a member of the Reformed Episcopal church. After his conversioa hebecame ac tive in Christian work, and devoted much time to it. After a short time he decided to give all his time to spiritual work, and gave up his bus iness. ' ' ., After conducting a mission - in a western city for a couple of years he became assistant State secretary of the Young Men's Christian Asssocia -tions of North Carolina and served some time in this position. He then began regularly to do evangelist work, and has since been engaged in holding revivals, i His work has always been crowned with success, and wherever he has held meetings there has been a marked spiritual revival. Mr. Gales is: married and has one child, a daughter. His home is in Roanoke, Va., his wife belonging to one of the first families of North Carolina, and is a woman of accom plishments and great Christian grace. She frequently accompanies him to his different fields of labor, and is a great, help to him in his work. - . Mr. Gales is hierblv pleased with his reception in Augusta, and is most encourged at tne start the meetings has made. He is confident ; that a great work is in progress, and that there shall be many manifestations of it during the remainder ;of the meetings. It is not certain - how much longer the meetings will con tinue but 'they will certainly con tinue during; tne present week, 'and pernaps through the next week.v - v Mr. Gales has, already made many Vafm friends in this city, and . as , a jpreacher of. the Gospelthe is highly regarded forhis'afility.and. earnest ness, and the people are even sad to even thinlf that' he wiil have to leave at any time in r the. future. , . . . From Norfolk Virginian: , , V Oolley Memorial" Church is thronged from night' to night. The meetings are. full of interest. "Never h s one preached in. Norfolk whoexr cells Mr.. Galea: in wealth ;of power and pathos. ; There were 12 men and women who toot their .stand for God last night, and many asked for prayer. The ; cotage: prayer meetings con ducted: from chouse, to ihouse daijy, have had the effect to en-fist individ uals'and families:ia the. great work and to in vqlye the whole community in revival sympathy and effort, with the church.! ; , ; From "The Voice," .!. Y. , "Evangelist Weston R. Gales is filling 'a series' of appointments ' in Baltimore, .Md., and has. just finished the.,third appointment at Franklin Square Presbyterian church, and be gan Sunday the 4th at churcn of The Redeemer, Reformed Episcopal, Bishpp Latine, pastor. Two. other series will be held- one in the eastern and in the extreme northern sections of the city. There have been some hundreds of professions. The power of the Spirit .has been 'manifested." Fro m A ugnsta; Ga. "Chronicle." "', "Evangelist VV. R.

Mr. ' Gales ia an evangelist of reputation anh abil ity. He has been heard at two night services and ; one afternoon - service and at each he has made a deep im pression upon his auditors." Same Paper later. "The crowds in attendance- on the Gales revival meeting do not appear t(f be diminishing any, either in zeal ot attendance, and last eveningjvhen the doors opened there surged into the vast auditorium of St. John church an audience that completely filled the vast edifice - from . pit to dome. The; Evangelist seems already to have obtai ned . a warm place in the hearts of the peo ple of .Augusta by his strong, person ality, his power of carrying convic tion and his genial manner, and the series of meetings which he has in ausrurated .will rank amone the most -til ccek ul of the- man v in .
