From S~huqualak.

T Mr. EDIToR:-The report circulated
to the effect that there was a great dea
of sickness in Shuqualak, including
scvcralscascs OF typhoid fever, is a big
mistake, we are thankful to: say
There has been but the one case of fe.
yer of a continued nature this summer,
that of Miss Alice Mum, our lamentcd
Young pupil, a bright and pure chris
tian.
The health of Shuqualak is good, no
sickness now at all, save a little three
year old child, which is rapidly recov-
ering from n brief illness. But few
cases of fever of the typhoid form has
occurred in this place during the past
ten years. Its health record will COM
pare fayorably with any place in the
state. People ought to be careful how
they let prejudice lead them. 1t is
bad and ugly to misrcprcsent n person
or community.
The building for the boys school
was completed and keys turned over
to the committee to-day. Quick work
and elegantly done. 1t is Il splendid
room on first floor for school hall.

The State Exchange.

Our readers have been aware of III,
fact that trouble has existed in refer.
cnce to the Charter CT the Exchange
We are happy to state that the whole
matter has been satisfactorily arranged
That the State Alliance Charter has
been so amended as to cover every
phase of the Exchange and that the
Exchange has been put entirely under
The control of the State Alliance.
Experience has shown the impracti-
cability of a large Board of Direc.
tors aud now the same is composed of
the President Of the State Alliance,
The Chairman OF the State Alliance
and three Directors, as follows: j. G..
Hall, Of ShGrky, B. f. Passmore, of
Madison and 2. NJ. Miller, of Grcna-
ia, This is a iudicious selection, and
VIII meet the hearty endorsement of
tho membership, The reduction in
inc humber composing the Board
iron NIB to 5 is another wise move.
The experience in all the avenues
OF life show that small committees are
more availible Cor effective work than
larger ones. Now that all differences
have been harmonized lei us 60 to
work and put in the hands of the
Boa,d a sufficient amount of capital
TO put up the.exchange in tho,o
working order, that it may be enabled
to do the great work it was designed
TO accomplish.
But capital alone is not all the Ex-
change needs the b~rethcrcn must
place their orders with tho Business

fits of this system. 1t does not matter
how efficient your agent may be he

that body left the question Just where
