This body represents about 100000 o
the 100000 Baptists in the United States
of the remainder 73S, 17S are colored. Il
held its 18th session in GreenVilIe, South
Carolina, May 10th and 18th.
1t is not an ecclesiastical body, but only a
voluntary association of messengers from
State Conventions, District Associations and
local churches, the design of which is to
elecit, combine and direct the strength oil
the denomination in the evangelization of
the world. 1t works through two boards.
The Foreign Mission Board is located at
Richmond, Virginia. The last report of the
Secretary, H. A. Upper, was one of the
most encouraging ever made to the Conven-
ton. There are 81 Missionaries and native
assistants, and 81 stations; the membership
of the native churches is 40; the conversions
and baptisms during the year, 126
the contributions, $647.S3 the number of
pupils, 74S. Chapels, mission residences
and school houses have been secured and
improved at cost of 81, 1875, and the
property of the Convention in foreign lands
may be valued at 100000. Eight new mis-
sionaries have been appointed, and six can
didates are before the board for appoint
ment. The contributions have been larger
than last year by nearly $4,000 There is
no debt, and respectable balance on hand.
Northern Baptists gave to Foreign Missions
last year $3.50, 900, and of this amount the
ladies contributed $4,000 Southern Bap-
list ladies, who commenced work only few
years ago, gave about $4,000. Much how
ever, was contributed by them through the
churches which was not reported separately.
At this meeting, the Home Mission Board
A l. a. -
Ga. DR.. Mcintosh presented the report,
from which give this summary. This
Board confines its appointments to the
States which are unable to provide for their
own restitution. During the year, Al mis-
sionaries have labored in 10States baptized
119 professed converts; received PA by
letter Nearly all the States do separate
missionary work. Mississippi has in her
own territory about 40 missionaries and
evangelists. An Indian mission manual
labor school has been established at a cost
of SIC, $1,000. By a contract with the
Council of the Creek Nation this school re-
ceiyes annually $S,400, equivalent to the
interest at per cent. on about $140, 600.
The missionaries are promptly paid, there is
no debt and Sc, 1922 in the treasury, and
above all contributions, an annual income
is secured Isl 900 royalty for printing Kind
Words and IS. 400 for manual labor school1
of So. 400. The Board received last year
SOS. $40 OS, and the different State Boards
expended largely over 100000. This does
not include the work done BY District Asso-
Citations At this meeting 81, 900 was raised
towards paying the debt on Coliseum Place
BAPTIST Church, New Orleans.
With an increase of laborers and contri-
buttons. and 8 growing conviction of the
will and help of God in giving the Gospel TO
the world. the denomination IS greatly en-
Outraged.

LAMATION-FREEDOM FOR WOMEN.
What is the right of the ballot to woman
compared with her privilege of enjoying
health and happiness in the charmed circle of
her social and domestic relations? Among
the many discoveries tending to promote the
happiness and advancement of the human
race nothing is so intimately connected with
the health and happiness of woman-the
centre and source of our highest earthly en-
joyments-as the discovery of a remedy which
meets her peculiar wants, and fits her for the
enjoyment of life, and for ministering to the
happiness of those with whom she is associa-
ted in the tender relations of sister, wife and
mother. This remedy is found in DR.. J. Brad
fields Female Regulator, 'Womenis Best
Friend" By it woman is emancipated from
the ills peculiar to her sex. Before its magic
power all Irregularities of the wemb vanish.
1t cures whites, suppression Of the "menses,"
ana removes uterine distractions. 1t cures
constipation and strengthens the system,
braces the nerves and purifes the blood, and
thus doing, it does more for her and through
her. for the whole human family than any
discovery of modern times 1t never fails,
as thousands of women will testify Prepared

The Death.rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully alarm
ing the average of life being lessened every
year, without any reasonable cause, death re-
sulting generally from the most Insignificant
origin At this season of the year, especially,
a cold is such a common thing that in the hur-
ry of every day life We are apt TO overlook
the dangers attending it and often find too
late, that fever or Lung trouble has already
set in. Thousands lose their lives in this way
every winter, while had B0Schees German
Syrup been taken, cure would have resulted,
and large bill from a Doctor been avoided.
For all diseases of the Throat and LHngs
Boschee's German Syrup has proven itself to be
the greatest discovery of its kind in medicine
Every Druggist in this county will tell you of
its wonderful effect. Over 10000 bottles sold
asst year without a single failure known.

"Women Never Think.

If the Grabbed old bachelor who uttered
this sentiment could but witness the in
tense thought, deep study and thorough
investigation of women in determining the
best medicines to keep their families well,
and would note the sagacity and wisdom in
selecting Hop Bitters a. the best, and de-
monstFating it by keeping their families in
perpetual health, at mere nominal ex-
pense, he would be forced to acknowledge
that such sentiments are baseIess and false.

MANY persons take medicine for their
ailments, and as soon as they feel better
they disregard all directions and stop tax
ing it. They try it again and again, and
finally throw it aside as worthless, when,
had it been persevered in from the start, a
permanent cure would have been effected.
Now in taking PRICKLY ASH BITTERs for
all complaints of the Stomach and Bowels,
remember to give the medicine a chance,
and don't expect one or two doses to cure
YOU.

THE Brandon Republican has the follow
ing notice of an enterprise in which our citi-
zens all have a pride:
'Mr. Joseph Morris, proprietor of the Ice
Factory at jackson, turns out six thousand
pounds of ice per day, all of which finds a
ready sale; in fact he is not able to supply
the demand. This institution was built in
1880, at a cost of about 5000, and has
proven itself to be one of the very best in
vestments. Nothing in this country pays a
more handsome dividend than a factory, and
it is great wonder that some of our enter
prising business men do not start something
of the kind"

THE Canton Citizen gives the following
notice of decision in the case of Lehman
vs.. Mas recently decided in Judge HilPs
Court:
This important case, was decided in the
United States Federal Court in Jackson,
this week. Judge Hill presided, the jury
consisting of II white and colored man,
and from all appearances was admirably
qualified to determine any issue placed be-
fore them. The sum involved was over
$4,000 Our talented ex-senator F. B.
Pratt was for the defendant and Robt
Powell and Nugent & Melville for the
plaintiff The issue involved was as to
whether an assignment made by the de-
PENDANT making his mother preferred
creditor was valid. Judge Hill ruled that
the assignment was void on account of the
assignee being instructed to sell in 80 days,
and directed the jury to find for the plain
tiff The jury disagreed with the Judges
instruction but on being so ordered, re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff with the
"under compulsion."
