In connection with the foregoing
sketch Of the Baptist State Conven-
ton. aud OF the general polity and
progress Of the denomination, q brief
sketch ofthe distinguished gentleman
who pres,des over HE Convention at
this. its semi centennial session, will
be al propriate.
Judge James &. Hall va the sixth
son Of Rev. james q. Hall, who for
more than fifty years was a minister
in the Baptist Church. His parents
were natives of North Carolina, from
which State they removed to Missis-
>ippi and settled near Grenada in
1897. The father and mother and
several other members Of the family,
fell victims to the yellow-fevOr cpl
demic of 1878. The father was twice
married, and had large family, only
two of whom now survive.
Judge Hall was born in Grenada,
August 10, 1871, and will complete
his forty-frst year on the 18th of
next month. His b0yhood was
spent in the place of his birth, and
he received an academic education
there. The war put an end to his
hopes of q regular collegiate educa-
ton. but he continued his studies
after The war, teaching sshool at the
| same time. In 1867 he began the
study Of law undel the late Judge
+. :. Fisher, was admitted to the bar
IN August, 1868, and Immediately
began the practice, with Col. W. II.
Fitz-GeraId, in Charleston, Tallahat-
chic county. He was appointed
county attorney in 1869, but was
removed with other civil officers, in
the same year, by the Military Gov
ernor Ames. In 1871 lie removed to
Sardis, Pamela county, where he has
since resided. In the political revo-
luton of 1873 the good people of
Pamela sent him to the Legislature,
| and though 0neof the youngest mem
hers Of the sessions of 1867, he was
among the most useful and i%ntluen-
tlal. Industrious, painstaking, Nigi-
liant, conservative, he was well fitted
to assist in retaining the State from
the confusion resulting from the
misrule and corruption of the so call
ed reconstruction era. The same
qualities distinguish his judicial life.
In 1852 he was appointed Chancellor
of the Third judicial District, and re-
appointed in 1856; and in the re-
organization ofthe districts by the last
legis allure he was one Of six ChanCel
Tors retained.
The Democracy of Mississippi eX-
pressed their appreciation of Judge
Hall in 1882, when he was elected
chairman of the convention which
nominated the present State EXecu-
tive. His knowledge Of oarIiamenta-
~ law, his admirable self possession,
rourtesy and irmness, we're exhibit
ID and recognized on that occasion.
Judge Hall was married to Miss
Belle B. Thornton In 1872. They
navo three children. He united with
tho Baptist church when fifteen years
old. In 1856. he was elected Presi-
dent of the Baptist State Conven-
ion. and reelected in 1887; and we
say to him swell done, good and
faithful servant.''-the Fright man

The Care or Clothes.


Clothes which -srs well cared for will
last twice as long ss those carelcssly II eat
ed, and With a liberal expenditure of time
aud little play of taste can be remod-
eled and made 20 do duty for a long time.
Eternal vigilance is the price of success
for poor people in dressing well, and 1T
should be exercised, as nothing pays
better Garments can be I'M ured as much
by careless handling, whsn Hot worn
as when in use. Dresses thrown across
a chair or hung in a crowded wardrobe
under other heavy articles Will be creas-
ed and Injured. Lacss, gloves and rib
BOYS tossed into a drawer with other ar
ticIes will not appear fresh and Feat when
worn.
It is an excellent rule to carefully put
away every article OF apparel ss soon ss
taken Off Dresses should be shaksn AID
veil brushed, and if handsomely and
elaborately trimmed, should be folded,
every fold and plat in place, carefully
pinned up IL large towel and laid in
drawer, this is very important in order
10 keep dresses in shape, or If preferred
70 hang them up, loops should be sewed
on the back of the shoulder, by which
they may hang.
Cloaks, after being brushed, may be
laid in long drawer, or hung up by
loop in the back OF the neck. Sha1ls
should be carefully folded in tho original
croeses, wrapped in paper, Or square
cloth, before laying away in a drawer.
Gloves should be pulled out lengthwiae,
folded in thin paper snd lad in small
box, kept for the purpose; laces should
be smoothed out and placed whore they
will keep clean and fresh. Wells, ribbons,
sHshes, silk handerchisfs and silk stock
lngs will keep in good condition much,
longer if folded in proper shape and laid
under weig at.
Shoes, If thrown around Ia The dust,
will not last as long look as well as when
stretched out of the wrinkles, well brushed
and put carefully away. Bonuets and
hats are more easily spoiled by want of
care than almost any article OF dress.
They should not, therefore, be allowed to
lie about on tsbies, or in dusty places un-.
protected, but as soon az taken from the
head should be brushed, the trimmings
and feathers Strengthened and laid in
boxes.
Every Iady's room should be furnished
with close brush, u sponge, bottle OF
amonia, vial each OF alokohol and ben
zIue, also some cleaning husd or erasive
soap TO aid her in keeping her wardrobe
il order. Another very necessary item III
the care of clothes is N ending and epair-
ing every article as it may need it; the
time spent in so doing is well bestowed,
TOR, besides the pleasure ii gives TO always
appear in whole, respectable garments,

rip and rent in dresses, skirts or under
clothes should receive attention as soon
IS it occurs. The cd time aGage, "a
fitch in time saves nine,' is vel! 10 re

soon as a rip appears in the fingers, and,

Celery, for general crop and for winter
is usually planted after the first crop of
cabbsges, peas and other early vegetables
come, off. says writer in the practical
Farmer. If the early crop is off soon
enough to plant, then the foliage of the
growing crop is thi,tned out between the
rows and the young celery plants at once
set out. Some regard the partial shade
as advantageous to the young plants, the
early crop being ready for removal icng
before the celery makes much growth.
Before setting the celsry plants it is well
TO strip of, half the foliage, Otherwise in
very hot sun the evaporation from the
leaves is so much greater than the mutt
lated roots can pump up to supply, that
there is danger OF loss. If the Leaf sur
face Is reduced, no bad effects from trans
planting need follow.

celery, or like it for no use out of it's

digging Rot Affected Potatoes.

A few years ago, says the New England
Farmer, the rot struck potatoes here the
first week of September, and nearly all
the farmers dug their crops at once. The
result WIS they had to keep picking over
all winter, for many were so slightly
specked with roo when dug, that they
were overlooked. / did not dig my po-
tatoes until some time during the first
half OF October. When did dig them
nearly hal; so rotten as to be seen q.
glance. / put the sound ones in the
cellar, aud did no. have TO pick them
over. l have prscticed this plan sue
cessfu!iy for years. Potatoes intended
to winter should remain in the ground as
long as possible without danger Of freez-
ing. Heat / think, is what rots potatoes,
and teey will keep cooler in the ground
tsan in the cellar.
When the rot strikes potatoes, If they
ere dug at once msny of the affected ones
will be overlooked and put in the cellar
with the good ones causing them to rot
also, but leave them in the ground until
cool weather cones aad all the rotten
ones can be seen and avoided.

How to Treat the Horse.

Many men imegin that when taey know
that the horses head Is q sort OF rudder
on his bow end and the lines are tIller
ropes to steer him, they are possessed of
all necessary knowledge for driving end
working him. Such is not the case, how
ever. Some considerations of the ami
mails peculiar characteristics will be ad-
vantsgeous. He is naturally very desir-
Gus of doing to the best of his ability
whatever he understands his ma ster de-
sires of him. But he is timid disposed to
be nervous and e1citeable, and when his
nerves get the better of him his power of
thinking and realizing what you want him
to do becomes impaired temporarily.
You should be able to see when he ia so
affected, and to distinguish the indca
ticus of that CONDITION from those OF
vicious obstInacy Of temper. 1t will DO
no good TO whip him when he has an at
tack of the nerves. That will only mako
him worse. In fact, that Is the general
effect of the whip. Soothe hina, encour-
age him, speak placidly and kindly to
him, let him see you and touch you with
his nose as you do SO, and he will soon be
calm, intelligent and willing again. II

cell him to somebody who has time to

Flowing In the Fall
Practical Farmer

stiff June grsss-sod intended for
planting ground next season should al
ways be fall plowed, ana the earlier the
work is done the better will be the re-
suit Only by fall blowing cen the ground
be got in good tilsh the subsequent sea
son. or course thi. sod can not be re-
plowed in the spring as IL will not be rot
ted sufficiently; but If left rough in the
furrow through the winter, there will be
a mass of fine soil on the surface that can
be easily narrowed or cultivated down so
as to effectus,ly smother the jane grTss
beneath. Where quack grass thisues
have q foothold, fall blowing will undoubt
eddy make them grow more vigorously,
simply because the soil is in better filth
and adapted to pushing all plant life with
greater vigor. The farmer must be more
promptly at work in his heed crops where
the land is fall ploxsd, but corn or po
tatoes will start so much more quickly
that he can afford to do this. We have
too often seen late spring plo sod on
which the crop started SO slowly that it
was nearly midsummer before the latter

is only by blowing such land the previous
fall that It can be got in shape 10 pro-

The Fat in Milk.
pes MOineS ReCiSter.

Tee advapcsments lately made in the
production OF butter by mems of cream
cries has demanded an apparatus by
which the exact amount of fat III milk, or
ia cream or butter, cen be ascertaihed.
The Cooley standard of an inch OF cream
for pound of butter was dsluAion and
q fraud. Nine months ago the Dirsc .ofs
of the Agricultural Experimental Station
of Wisconsin, directed Psof. Short, the
assistant chemist, to undertake expert
ments to see what could be done 10 aid
dairymen to determine, With some bust
ness certainty, the amount of fat in milk.
After nine months of research, Prof.
Short, IN Bulletin No. 16, Of that station,
Announces that he is confident that he
has discovered process which is cheap,
piar. and can be eaHily operated without
much scientific skill. which will decide
with almost positive accuracy the
amount of fat in any specimen OF milk.
Prof. Short says there ID no patent on the
process or the apparatus, and that the
process can easily be learned. II this
proves as good as the professor thinks,
it will clear away much of the difficulty
in creamery operations.

ROWLING DERyIsRERs.

Every traveller goes on Friday TO see
the whistling and bowling Dervishes. The
latter is an English misnomer. They are
a sect called Heurleurs, or something to
that effect. One of their ceremonies is a
ritual by mullah, res pended 10 by the
worshipers who, as they respond, sway
themselves while standing In line from
one side to the other and lerk the head.
As their fervor increases the sideTay
motion becomes more anC more extended
and the head jerking more and more
rapid, uLtil they appear to be almost in a
species of fit. This sction IL continued
for nearly an hour. The sweat pours
from their faces and their heads look as if
they would be jerked off After this
ritual Ia served many OF the faithful and
many children who are more or less such
lie prone upon the floor and the head
mutiah or priest walks over them, tread
ing upon each, and then one by one blows
upon their faces, when they go off happy
if not cured. Babies in arms simpl
blown upon and touched. The worship
ers seem most intense in their devotion
and solemn ia its performance. The
dancing or whiriing dervishes, after pray
ing for, say, half an hour, with many
prostretions, thsn range themselves
mosque and listen to the peculiar music
performed by Part OF their order and
to litany read by their high priest, all the
time marching in single file around The
outer circle, each bowling low when oppo-
site and farthest from tho "Mecca" OF the
mosque-that is, the part CORES popdiDg
to the altar in a Christian church, and al
ways on the side Of the building pointing
to the holy city Of Mecca, and when on
the circle next to the Mecca each one,
with q peculiar step, turns and faces the
brother next following him, and each
bowling low oae to the other: as this part
of the ceremony progresses the music be-
comes more fervid, VIXEN one by one the
dsrvishes will begin to spin around ss on
a pivot. and at the same time circling
around the room. Each one spins more
or less rapidly, as he may choose, but ell
GO around the room in the same period
all extend their arms straight oEt az they
thus waltz. Their dress is high, Cant
cal cap and a long full skirt coming to
the feet and bound in at .he waist. AZ
they pin tbs skirt extends in proportion
to the speed of their motion-that of
those moving very rapidly taking the
form of widely extended funnel. I count
ed the revolutions of one OF the worship
ere. It was fifty eight to the minute.
This motion he kept up for perhaps a
half-hour, and when stopping showed no
sign of dizziness. There we're thirty odd
on the floor at once, but only one moved
with great rspidity. Two of them we're
young novitjates, somewhere from 10 70
II years of age. The whole thing pro-
ceeded with great solemnity and dccoruu
and all seemed fervid and earnest.
