The eclipse of the sun Sunday morning caused large church gather ings of negroes, who rushed thither, from their homes to pray, sing and make ready for. the judgment which they thought was at hand. One faithful negress on Mr. Ever ett's farm must indeed think her days limited, as last week she ran a long distance in great excitement of mind, from a passing automobile. At last reaching the woods exhaust ed, she took refuge behind the trees. To Oar Customers.
