FROM BERTHE TO WAKE.

Leaving Colerain Thursday morn
ing | ran up to Auburn near Raleigh,
where the Raleigh Baptist Association
was in session l found charming
home with Mr.. Sam Watts, who, to-
gether with his accomplished wife, rem
dered my stay quite pleasant. The Ra-
leigh Baptist Association is an influen-
tial body and the Baptist denomination
looks to it for much work for the va
rious objects which claim the attention
of the Baptists in all their Associations
Rev. II. w. Norris was moderator and
MI L. Q. Lougee clerk. They both
make efficient officers. Being within
twenty-five miles of my old home, I
saw a number Of my old acquaintances
and schoOl-feilows. A number of the
delegates from the different churches
We're among my cid friends, and it was
a source of much pleasure to meet
them.
There were several able speeches. no
table among which was the speech of
Dr. Carter. Of Raleigh, on Foreign
Missions,
Auburn is but small station on the
Richmond and Danville railroad. about

The farmers are disposed to grumble,
as in many other places, but from what
observation | could make, they are in
as good condition as elsewhere. To be
sure, they have little money, bat the
fields indicate that there are good sup
plies of provisions for home comsump-
ton and after all this is the true test
Of the prosperity of an agricultural com
munity.
If the farmers of the entire country
will return to the good old way of
iring at home, our Southland will vet
he land Of peace and plenty and great
prosperity.
Mr.. J. H. Mills, manager of the Bap-
fist Orphanage at Thomasville, makes
observation that in Eastern Carolina
the people seem to have abandoned
gardens almost entirely as compared
with gardening in Middle and Western
Carolina. He says that onions are a
sure preventive against hog cholera, as
well as being healthful for persons.
