Colored Baptists Meet.
THE GREEN RIVER VALLEY AS
ISOLATION HOLDS AN IN
TERESTlNG SESSION IN
ClOvERPORT.
Much Valuable Work Done With
Good Results for the Cause
of Christ.
ADJOURNED SUNDAY NIGHT.

The Green River Valley Association
met in its ninth annual session Wednes-
day morning August 23d, atthe Westine
Baptist church of this city. The mes
sengers and visitors arrived in large
numbers until the city was filed to over
flowing Among the prominent visiting
messengers from other states were Rev.
G. II Clark, ID. D., of Nashville, Tenn,
Rev. B. Stone, of Noblesville, Ind. The
association also had the pleasure OF en-
tertaining the General Missionary Of
Kentucky, Rev. p. II. Kennady, d. d.,
OF Henderson, who explained the nature
of his work and also its necessity, in a
very intelligent manner. After an ex-
cellent talk to the members, he received
a very liberal collection from the asso-
citation for his mission work.
On Thursday night the doctrinal SER
mon was preached by Rev. q. II. Clark,
ID. ID The sermon was an excellent one
in every respect, and it was very highly
appreciated by very large and intelli-
gent audience. The association, though
still quite young, is doing great work.
1t is composed of set OF wide-awake,
energetic young ministers who seem
willing to leave no stone unmoved that
would hinder the advancement of the
cause of Christ. The discussions before
the body were carried on in very in.
telligent, christianity manner. The elect
ion of officers resulted as follows:
Moderator Rev. J. II. Ealy, OF South
Carrolton; Assistant Moderator Rev. b,
II. Reed, of Owenshoro Recording Sec
rotary, Prof. w. X. Harding, of Owens
boro; Corresponding Secretary, Frank
Simmons, of Rome and Treasurer, Sam
uel Bennett, OF Livermore. The associa
ton showed great intelligence in selecting
such worthy set OF officers.
After a very successful meeting the
I,body adjourned Sunday night to meet at
Bethlehem, KY, Thursday before the
third Sunday in August 1894.

I'VE STAND BY GROSS.

Our Brandenburg correspondent is
right in her criticism of the Senatorial
canvass. It's burning shame that so
many personalities and little mean
things should have been brought into
the race. But they are in, and the ques-
ion now is, who's responsible for bring
ing them in? We are sure Mr. Gross is
is not responsible for them, for everyone
knows who has heard the candidates
speak that he has been on the defensive
all the time. Both Mr.. Richardson and
Mr.. Minor jumped onto him in the out
set attacking his record and questioning
his motives for every public act in his
life. lie met the charges in a manly,
upright way and in the best OF spirits.
Failing to accomplish their ends in this
way, they sent out OF the district and got
letters from Gross personal enemies and
rung them in to down him, but in this
they failed, as in everything else they
have brought against him.
We can assure our fair correspondent
that we star I'd in to make a fair and
manly fight Tor our man, but we were
forced into using measures that were not
altogether to our liking. We have re-
Trained from printing great many
things which appeared in outside papers
attacking Mr.. Richardson's record in the
Legislature, simply because we are his
friend and il he is the nominee we expect
TO support him with all our might and
power, and for that reason we did not
care TO use such stuff against a fellow
Democrat.
We feel that we have only done our
duty to a countyman and neighbor, and
we also feel that the voters of Brecken-
ridge will stand by us and in the Ian.
guage OF our fair correspondent will say,
Listen not to prejudice, TO petty igno-
BILE rumor, but be true to your county
pride, by voting for your countyman,"

KEEP A "SKUNNED" EYE.

WHILE the ways Of the fox are not COM
mendable, they are willy, and we wish to
caution the people against being further
imposed upon. II is well-known that
this Senatorial race has been the most
filthy within the history of this section
of the State, but the blame cannot be laid
at the door of either Gross or his friends.
The entire Gross campaign has been con-
Quoted on an elevated scale and on the
defensive. All the many charges that
have been thrown at him have been
proved to the satisfaction OF the people
to be untrue, and Gross stands today in a
pure light, honest and true. This is the
last issue Of Gross paper before the cleo
ton, and the public campaign will close
today with the speakinga at Custer. Now,
as there will be no further opportunity
OF informing the people, we wish to eau
ton them against any and all reports that
may be circulated between now and Sat
urday and on that day. 1t will be in &C.
cordance with the manner in which the
enemies of Gross have conducted the
campaign all along, for them now to put
more filth in circulation, knowing that
there will be no time left to deny it and
prove it TO be false. Persons who indulge
in this kind of politics do not deserve fav.
orable recognition by the respectable
people of this District, and from now on
deaf ear should be turned to everything
that has not already been in the cam
paign. Let every Gross man be on the
alert, an the victory is ours.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
TO its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces

Funeral of Rev, E. II. Morrison,

The funeral and burial services of Rev.
L. ii. Morrison, pastor of the Methodist
f. church, South, of Cloverport, were
solemnized at the Methodist church, on
last Friday, the 25th day of August.
Rev. J. M. Lawson, the Presiding Elder
lead the services, aided by DIR. Cottrell,
Rev. viii Hayes and Rev, w. c. Bran
don.
The full ritual Of the church, as APP
pointed in the discipline was observed,
in addition to an extemponzed prayer
by Dr. Cottrell, and brief statement by
Elder Lawson, of the more salient facts
of Mr.. Morrison's ministerial life. These
facts were, that Mr.. Morrison was son
OF Methodist itinerant preacher, reared
in the church and in the itinerancy that
on becoming an itinerant minister him
self, he was received into the Louisville
Conference at the Session held in Clio
verport, in the fall of 1875 His first
pastoral charge was Circuit bordering
on Cloverport, and there, as pastor, he
closed his career
Mr.. Lawson spoke in terms of high
commentator of Mr. Morrison as an
approved minister OF the Gospel and
Christian gentleman and all he declar-
ed of him is accordant with the estimate
the people of Cloverport had OF him
The bereaved wife, and the little son,
and the two little daughters, have the
profoundest sympathy Of all.
1t is proper to make mention OF the
devoted attention OF the brother OF Mr..
Morrison, Chas w. Morrison, who came
promptly on learning of his sickpess, as
also that of the father of Mrs Morrison,
Mr. ]. j. Haase, of Whitaker, Ind. He
took his bereaved daughter and her
children to his home, leaving last Mon
day morning. Both the parents of Mrs
Morrison are living; and her return,
with her precious children, to the home
whence she came as bride, to be re-
ceived in affectionate sympathy by those
dearest to her, is affecting. Deeply
gratifying is it that she has such a
refuge.

said so in the presence Of good men. II
was probably one of Dawes idle jokes,
but there was just as much in it as there
was in the Mcclure matter, hence II was
