Du Quoin.

WE are now negotiating for the nicest hall in town; and we expect to secure it for one year. Last Sunday evening at the close of our services, Eld. Willoughby, Baptist, with brief remarks, “for the mining citizens of Du Quoin, Ill.,” presented to the speaker a copy of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary. Several of these delvers, with their companions, have fully decided to keep God’s law.

Carbondale.

THE company of Sabbath-keepers organized at this point by Brn. Colcord and Bliss manifest love for the truth. For others who are almost persuaded we entertain hope. I preached in the college to a good-sized company on the evenings of the 7th and 8th. I rejoice to see the young workers here so determined.

Came here to meet Bro. C., and to arrange for a field of labor for the winter.
