FORNEY, Aug. 26 - Forney has been enjoying a series of meetings during the last month. It seems that they will never stop until the last sinner has returned. The Methodist and Presbyterians are having at this time a very interesting revival, under the management of Rev.s Hornbeak and McQuirter.

Prof. B.M. Terrell's school commences on the 1st of September. He has enrolled 170 scholars. He has secured the ???? of Miss Lizzie Holsey, of Chatfield, as music teacher. There is now in contemplation a fine school building, to be built north of the railroad, as the present one is not sufficient.

Parties continue to dedepredate upon Hope? Johnson. After calling his wire, they returned a few nights since and dried his hay stack, pulled up and burned about 140 of his fence posts. The officers are doing everything possible to bring the offenders to justice.

A fine bridge is soon to span the East Fork on the Terrell and Dallas roads.

Crops are much better than was thought for some weeks since. Corn is about an average. Cotton will make from one-quarter to one-half bale per acre.

A party of ladies and gentlemen from Terrell came in on the train to-day bound for Daugherty's lake for a fish. Among the ladies noticed was Mrs. Stanbridge, Miss maples and the Missess Annie Childress, Beulah McClardy, Lelia Moore. Among the men were Capt. Ben Gill and Major Tom Griffith. They were joined here by Cols. Roguet and Alexander and merry time is expected judging from the amount of ice and lemons they had on hand. The ladies had their baskets full of good things to eat.
