Boice Prairie and Georgetown, Tent No 1.

We closed our meetings at Boice Prairie last Sunday evening, Aug. 19. On account of harvesting and threshing, and much prejudice, the interest was not deep, as it at first promised to be. A few became interested. Three promised to obey the Lord. Five who had formerly received the truth were baptized last Sunday.

We had intended to pitch the tent at Georgetown; but as we can have the use of the Disciple church there as long as we want it, we have laid up the tent for this season, and I commence meetings there, eight miles south of Platteville, Grant Co., next Sunday evening, Aug. 26.

My address, till farther notice, will be Georgetown, Grant Co., Wis. I. Sanborn.

Rush Creek, Crawford Co., Tent No. 4.

WE came to this place from Fall River the 8th inst. The tent was delayed, and did not reach here until the 12th, the day our meetings were to commence; so we were only partly prepared for the first two meetings.

We are in a wild, lonely place, in a deep valley. We could not see where we were to look for a congregation, but to our surprise over one hundred and fifty were present at our first meeting, and we have had good attendance through the week. Today, Aug. 19, we have an attendance of nearly three hundred to hear on the Sabbath question. The people are many of them Disciples. The interest does not appear very deep, but we hope for some good results.
