the help of God the work is moving
on gloriously-in this place, notwithstanding the powers of hell and  all
the instruments of the tHnil,  in  the
form of compromising preachers and
worldly conformed'.protestors, especially M. E„. people,   who  have seen
fheis ranks broken np, and about 15
of their best members brought to a
knowledge  of  God's   saving  grace
And who joined-our Fr<jp  Methodist

Following is an item that will no doubt
interest our merchants: " A recent decision of the Supreme Court says that no
city or town has a right to license a man
tb sell any wares or ^merchandise in front
of another man's property. The street in
front of his property or place of business
is held to be one of the appurtenances
thereto and-for especial use of the owner
only, against the right of all others, excepting to: travel therein. This decision
will.resulf in shutting off street venders
and hawkers unless they can arrange matters with the owners of the property be
foro which they expose their wares for
sale." .
