ALABAMA

By A. O. Burrell

Atalla, July 15.
OUR meetings, during the two weeks just past have been well attended, and the interest is becoming more general. The leading men in town have attended, and done all they could for us. At Gadsden we found just about an opposite state of things. The farmers, who compose the larger portion of our congregation here, will have their crops “laid by” this week, and then we shall have a larger attendance.
July 13 we held our first Sabbath meeting, and it was well attended, even the Masonic lodge, which was holding a special session, adjourned and came. Yesterday our tent was well filled three times. The mercury, for several days and several hours each day, has stood at 93°.
The friends are mindful of our wants. We do not sell many books, for there is no money in the country. We can use old REVIEWS, SIGNS, REFORMERS, INSTRUCTORS, and any of our publications which have been kept clean. I suggest that those who read this report, who may have such reading matter, send to my address as many papers or tracts, neatly wrapped, as will require ten cents postage, and they may be assured they will be read with interest.
