we have not seen its equal on the

The many friends of Maj. John

He died at his home in St. Louis,

The S -. ate Jud'ieu.ry commit! e

of the appointsmeuts of Mr. Vilas

It is said that there has been a
great decrease in the amount of
whiskey manufactured in the United
States during the past year, but the
manufacture of beer has increased,
yet, striking the balance between
them, there has been a decrease as
to value of tiie manufacture of the
two of something over $1,000,000.
Beer is said to have gained $.5,245,-
456, and whisky lost $3,362,944.
We regard this as a most encourag-
ing showing for the friends of tem-
perance.

Notes From Pawhuska, I. T.
Editor Brother In Red:
Thinking you would like to hear
how our First Quarterly meeting
closed, I will write you a short letter.
I think the meeting was a success.
The last (on Monday) was if possi-
ble the best of all former services.
Bro. Yarbrough preached one of
his best sermons—brim-full of the
Holy Ghost—after which we opened

A Sad Note.
The following sad note from Bro.
Austin was received just before
g ing to press. The prayers of the
church will be offered up for our
dear brother and his family:
Kvansville, Ark.. Jan. 10, '88.
Dear Bio. Brewer:
I am again placed in the crucible
of affliction. Emma has relapsed
with typhoid fever, and is now hov-
ering between life and death. It s
a week to-day since she took her
bed. I was called home to her last
Thursday. I had to miss my ap
p untment last Saturday and Sun-
day and I do not know when I can
be on my work again.
I will send \ou my 2nd round of
Quarterly IVnki nces for the
Brother in Red.
The rest of my family are all
well. Pray for us.
Fraternally yours,
W. B. Austin.

Johnsonville Circuit.
The P. C. of Johnsonville Circuit
was kindly remembered by Santa
Claus in the distribution of his
Christmas presents. At the Christ-
mas tree at White Bead Hill I re-
ceived a note saying "One sack of
flour to be delivered next week," a
second said, "Please call at any
time convenient nti.i get a nice pig
for Christmas," a third combined a
promise to deliver a pork i.og the
fourth $4.75 cash, without a hint
as to who it was from ; but we have
since learned that a good woman
was instrumei tal in having it placed
there.
I went from White Bead Hill to
Johnsonville Sunday morning, found
a good congregation, preached them
a Christmas sermon, and they open-
ed "their treasures, and presented
unto me gifts" to the amount of
$3.50 cash. After services I went
over to Judge Johnson's and snu,-
pled Sister Johnson's Christmas din-
ner. On starting home the good
sister loaded me down with apples,
grown on the Judge's farm, as fine
as ever grew anywhe.ie.
The Church here at Johnsonville
is alive, spiritually and financially;
they have a Sunday School, prayer
meeting each Sunday evening, and
woman's prayer nitvtr. g even-
