The convention adjourned to
meet next year at Greeuville, S. G.
The people of Chester could not
have been surpassed in their kind
ness and hospitality, and the dis

Christian brotherhood made US
feel foretaste of the peace and
glory of that kingdom where the
wicked cease from troubling, and
where the weary are at rest"
Such band of Christian work
ers was enough 10 inspire the heart
of the most humble Christian, and
to make the mighty hosts of Satan
tremble when they sang:
"Stand up!-stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high his royal banner,
1t must not suffer loss:
From vict'ry unto vict'ry
His army shall be led.
Till every, foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up!-stand up for Jesus!
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this His glorious day:
aye that are men now serve Him."
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
Stand up!-stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day, the noise of battle,
The next, the victor's song:
10 him that overcOmeth.
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternallyw

MUTUAL FIRE ASSOCIATION"
throughout the different counties
of the State of Georgia, and the
State being a very large one, con-
tanning 1877 counties, have decided
to sell the remainder of my terri
tory at very low figures.
This plan of insurance has been
operated in this Edge6eld) county
and throughout the State of South
Carolina under the name of ''The
Farmers Mutual Fire Association" F"
There is no change in the plan of
insurance only 3 slight change in
the name. The price of counties
range from $50 to 500 each, owing
to the size of the county and the
number you buy. Now all I ask
is that you find out from the treas
urer Of your county association
how much insurance was written
up in this county and multiply
that by so cents per hundred (the
amount the agent collects) and |
am sure you will lie convinced that
YOU cannot find a business that
will pay you near so we'll.

eating woman suffrage. There was
surprisingly good attendance OF
ladies, business men, professional
men, and people in every walk of
life, and the speakers of the occa-
sion were given the closest atten-
ton. Mayor Patton introduced the
speakers and prefaced his remarks
by esteeming it great privilege to
be called to preside over the first
meeting held in Asheville to hear
a. discussion of what he considered
one of the greatest movements, and
one of the most beneficial, ever
started in the United States. He
was, without any hesitancy, an ad.
yocate of the enfranchisement OF
woman, and one reason for it was
because he was Democrat. The
