4 BIG BAPTISING.

Forty-two Negroes Immersed in Lick
Run Sunday Afternoon.
Three thousand people, white and
colored, witnessed the colored baptising
which took place Sunday evening in
Lick run, near Old Lick. The hills on
each side of the stream were lined with
solid mass of spectators. The trees
afforded fine seats for Observing the
ceremony, and were likewise full.
Rev w. w. Brown, of the High
Street Colored Baptist Church, gave a
long talkeon baptism and then waded
waist deep into the water. Twenty
three women, with their heads bound
up in Napkins" were first immersed,
and then followed thirteen men. After
the crowd dispersed several more were
baptised. The crowd expected to hear
some grand jubilee shouting, but were
disappointed. A few, of the men were
enthusiastic, but the others were as
silent as though they had never been
converted. The weather was cold.
Rev. Brown is man equal to the &C.
casion, and baptised the whole number
in twenty minutes, going through the
full ceremony in each instance

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.
A Rousing Reception Awaits the Editors
Mt Bristol.

nC DflStOl,
Bristol is preparing to give the Vir-
GINA Press Association rousing recep-
ton on the 18th instant. Frequent ref
erences in the News and Courier, Bris-
tolls dailies, and letters received by
President Pugh, of TIE ROANOKE TIMES,
indicate that the welcome to the Vir-
ginia editors will exceed in cordiality
anything in their experience.
The South Atlantic and Ohio Railroad
Company have invited the Association
to make an excursion over their line to
the Natural Tunnel and Big Stone Gap,
and on yesterday President Pugh re-
ceived letter from President Smith, of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
rendering free excursion from Big
Stone Gap, or Norton, to Cincinnati and
return, via Louisville. Ky.
Vice-President Fitz-Hugh has ar
ranged for an excursion to Dallas,
Texas, but as it will require nearly two
weeks to make the trip, and as it will
be expensive as compared to the Gin
cinnati excursion, it is believed a ma
jority of the association will vote in
favor of the latter. Another considera-
ton In it's favor is the desire of many
Virginia editors to attend the Worlds
Fair Convention at Norfolk on the 25th
instant. Those who go to Texas can
not possibly do so, whereas the Cincin-
natl trip can be made in ample time.
Tho Norfolk and Western Railroad
has generously rendered the editors free
transportation to and from Norfolk,
and as n number of papers have ex-
pressed the opinion that the Worlds
Fair Convention is far moro important
than trip to far-away Texas, the
probabilities are that the association
as body will decide against it.
President Pugh is not opposed to the
Texas excursion, but at the solicitation
of many members Of the association and
in the interest of the State he has ar
ranged for the trip to Cincinnati, which
will enable the Virginia newspapers to
have repre- sentat'on at.Norfolk.
Transportation over the railroads will
be furnished the members of the associ-
alton only this week, and it is hoped
that the attendance at Bristol Will be
large.
