EVENING SESSION.
The exercises opened at $50, Bishop Bissell
presiding, the convention sitting Us Board
of Missions.
The Secretary, Rev. +. X. Atwill, then
read the report of the Missionary Committee.
From this it appears that the appropriation
for missions last year was $1,000 and the
offerings were Sl33496. The disburse-
ments were Sl96s99 The general condi-
ton of the missionary work is encouraging
but us far rs contributions TO the cause are
concerned it is very dscouragins. The COM
mittcc ask for only $500 for the coming
year, though they could cNpcnd 5000 to
great advantage. They recommend that the
rcctors in every church open subscription
books for the mission cause.
The report was accepted.
MIR. Atwill suggested that the convention
hear from those present cognizant with tho
work Of special missions
Mr.. Atkins SAID it was evident what the
missions needed 1t was money. What was
wanted was somebody Ia tell how that could
be got.
Rev. Mr. Putnam of St Johnsbury offer

thing that farmer requires from his
merchant, including furniture,

turned over to superintendent Pierce,

press, where the yarns are put into
compact bales for shipment to New
York, Boston and Philadelphia.
10 say that we were pleased don't
90 half justice to our feelings, and We
came away fully convinced that the
world do move Notwithstanding we
had left home q little muddled as to
whether it was the sun or the world
that did the moving at the Court

ed to believe that the Virginia color
cd divine was about right when he as
serted that "thc sun do move,' wheth

leave 1t to The Guardian of the future
TO prove to the good people of Hamp

Will you allow me Il small space
in your valuable paper Tor the follow
ing:
Crops in this section are not rs
good rs they were last year. Our
farmers seem To he in low spirits, but
we are blcst now with showers, and
all vegetable matter begins to .smil"
and why not us? Is it because we
are afraid that We cannot meet our
Indebtedness this Fall, or, is it on
account Ofso much cotton planted,
and such small fields OF corn?
think the latter is the cause; for how
can q man expect to have bread and
meat, unless heraisrs il? Can he cx-
pect to prosper by raising cotton at
lOccnts pound, when bacon is
worth as much per pound as cotton,
and corn from one dollar to one and Il
qual ter per huslicl? This section has
bought more corn and hay this year
than ii did the year after Sherman $
raid, and every year will gradually
grow worse 10y this plan of planting
cotton. Count up the cost and see il
corn, wheat, oats and rice do not cost
less than cotton.
We had 81 very interesting series

Success.

1t has been quainlly said that moth
ing succeeds like success, as lift were
not impossible to succeed without it,.
Shakespeare says "thcrc is a tide in
the affairs Of men, which, taken at
the flood, leads on to fortune" There
is a time for all things, and M op-
portunity in allmcn's lives which, if
improved, monlls and fashions our
future destiny, but if lost, it is lost
forever, and never comes again. How
few people understand or appreciate
the critical moment, the crisis, the
turning point in life, when a word, Il
thought, an act, will change the cur
rent and direction of business life,
and makes or breaks without an eff.
fort. From APPOINT it is straigh,
sailing, either to success or failure.

Et'or O'ungcdwg Times:
Again the cotton picking season
is upon us. We have several bales
among us ready for market ut this
date
The general cry is short crops
some say one half and others say
two thirds of Il crop. The yield per
acre will not he so much as it was
last year, but we think the falling Off
will almost be made up hy the in
creased acreage in this immediate
section.
We have not suffered so much for
rain as many Of our ncighboring
sections have. The corn crop will
not bc 81 full one, having suffered
some for rain, but more for want Of
work generally. When we learn to
prepare our lands properly, and cuI
tivnte better, we will hear less of
