From the Southern Iowa Tent we came to this place on the 15th inst. Pitched the tent the day following, and had a discourse in the evening; and, notwithstanding the notice was short, there were about one hundred out. We have given seven discourses altogether, with an average attendance of about one hundred and fifty, on work days. The last two Sunday afternoons and evenings the tent was filled. In the forenoon, we gave way to hear a discourse from Eld. Brown of this place, a Presbyterian, on the subject of the Sabbath, which we will notice when we come to that question. Considering the busy season, it being the midst of harvest, we have no reason to be discouraged. Our address will be here for the present. Martinsbury, July 22, 1872
