world. After looking it over we came to
the conclusion that no home dairy could
ever equal it in the quality of butter.

a short time ago but has been abandoned at least
Tor the present. 1t created some excitement for

but are now united and agreed on different
mode. We have raised guaranteed fund and
the trustees are authorized to employ teachers at
stated salaries, the pupil, parents ardians to
pay one dollar per month for each pupil. All
those unable to pay are to be admitted free of
charge. This we think with the aid of the public
school fund will enable us to build up splendid
school. The guarantee fund is made up; the
trustees have already employed teachers ana thus
we are moving along in the way of education.

little of the pernicious in literature was
tolerated. But in these days it is different
Your boys thirst tor knowledge of the
world, and it you don't give them some
wholesome reading to slake their thirst,
they will get hold of cheap, sensational
stories that will poison their minds and do
them terrible injury.
There is such a vast amount of this
trachy stuff being poured into the market
az the present time, that it is a relief to
pick up new book that is at once thrill

Never have we experienced a more de-

that Smyrna could have cared for as many
more We understood when they came to
the feasting department, they by no means
had been saving themselves for that occa-
sion. We trust the entire assembly was
pleasantly entertained, where each and
every ones lot was cast. We hope to have
the pleasure of caring for the body at no
very distant date, though for the advantage
of Bro. Dean and Bro. Mark Payden, of
Woodstock, we will let them have the asso-
citation up there before we call for it again,
in order that they may have many good
scraps, ETC., for their hogs to feast on. We
would be delighted to have the young
ladies of Evansville to brighten our home
with their presence again in the near fu>

for the use OF their Churches and for their
benevolent act in caring for some of the
delegates. May God bless every one that
was present and may they live only for the
glory of an all wise Redeemer. B.
