Clifton.—The writer and W. A. Reed began a series of meetings under the direction of the mission board of North Carolina in Alleghany county, North Carolina.  We began Aug. 1 and continued until Aug. 11. Eight made application to join the church; five were baptized. Several others will be baptized in the near future. We also organized a church at the same place, with seventeen members, under the care of A. J. Reed, of the Mount Carmel church.—Henry Sheets, Clifton, N. C, Aug. 12.
