Nashville was the objective
point of the National Baptist Con-
vention this session Representa-
tlves from every state and territory
of the United States were present
to discuss methods relating TO the
educational and christian progress
of the Baptist denomination the
world over. Baptist foreign mission
aries recently from the Continent.
Africa told of their wonderful ex-
periences in the savage land, so
thrilling were their reports that
they sounded like tales OF romatlc
adventures. The lesson is OF spe-
cial Importance since it is difficult
to adopt such measures among the
most advanced civilized nations.
Some of the most noted men and wo-
man of the race were in attendance.
Washington had a fair representa-
toin in the person of Rev. Walter
III. Brooks, Rev. w. B. Johnson,
aud Prof. j. III. Lawson. Many bril-
liant sermons, addresses and pa
pers were delivered. The pro-
gramme has just entered upon and
no comment can be made upon it
save that able ministers, writer's
and speakers with suitable sub
iects have been assigned thereto.
The South Is generally known
for its hospitality; and no greater

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.

No invention of the nineteenth
century has worked agreater re-
volution in household economy or
conferred more of a benifit on hum
anity than the sewing machine.
The first productions were crude
and uncouth in the extreme, and
it was reserved for American skill
and ingenuity to bring forth a ma
chine Of any practical value.
In order to appreciate the great
advancement which has taken
place it is only necessary to COM
pare one Of the machines built dur
ing the infancy of the Invention

All the really good points con
taine6 in other machines have
been utilized IN its construction
Many new improvements and de-

result of which is a machine as

make one.
For simplicity, durability, ease
