II is very highly appreciated II we
should miss one issue OF that comforting
paper Il would grieve us more than the
missing Of two meals unless we we're
very very hungry.
We are laboung IN the southwestern
part OF the State OF Illinois, In the little
county OF Union. The county Is very
unleyel aud quite ihickly wooded. The
tree,s OF the towns are narrow, crooked
aud dusty. We travel as the apostles OF
old, or as the saying nowadays, "By the
umbrella and grip-valley railroad" As
general thing, we are treated very
friendly by the people with whom we
come In contact OF course, we en-,
counter some that are very indignant

as they see us, say, I'VE have heard OF

large number refuse our tracts, and the
most Of them do Il In a courteous way.
We have missed some lew meals, but
we have always been blessed by finding
some generous hearted person to give
us bed on which to rest our weary
bodies. We have held many Gospel
conversations and quite a pumber OF
meetings, but our gene.al work has
been that OF tracing up the county.
On the roth inst. we held a meeting
at the home OF a family OF Saints; and
alter the meeting was over the most OF
the congregation remained. We had
some friendly conversations with them
then We began singing some OF our
Mormon hymns, which delighted them
very much. We do not wish your read

delighted them; II was the words. After
we had been singing for some time, one
OF our good sisters entered and asked
US II we would go TO her brothers

 We owe on the above $9706.
 The receipts were $3000.61.
 We have on hand $411 in cash, and there is due the association $50 in good unpaid subscriptions and membership fees
 The estimated expenses for the ensuing year were placed at $4244. The increase is largely in rent and salary of the new physical director.
 Our grateful thanks are due to the La dies Auxiliary. To their care and help is due much of the attractiveness of the rooms. It was their assistance at the so cials that made them successful, and the assurance of their constant help and prayers is an encouragement for the year to come.
 To the press, pastors and contributors our thanks are also due their help and sympathy has done much to make the work herein reported possible.
 THE NEW YEAR AND ITS NEEDS.
 As seen from our financial report the chief need for the year upon which we have just entered Is a larger contribut- ing constituency. We need more than ev- CT the cooperation of Christian young men to work for their companions. We believe most firmly the work of the asso- ciation is prosecuted along the right lines, and is incomparably the greatest work the united church can do for young men.
 With profound gratitude to our Heav- enly Father for His patience and tender ness in all the work of this trying year, and with answering trust in His love and guidance for the year to come, this twelfth annual report is respectfully sub- mitted.

AN ALABAMA EXHIBIT
At the Nashville Centennial to Be Worked by the Commercial As
 citation.

At the Nashville Centennial to Be
 Worked by the Commercial As citation. A strong effort is being made to have Alabama ably represented at the Nash vile centennial, and the Alabama Com mercial association is one of the leading factors in the movement. That body has a committee for this special work, and they are all able, energetic, thorough going men.
 The committee met yesterday at noon in the office of Maj. F. Y. Anderson, and the following were present.: Col. H. L.. Mckee of Selma, president of the Ala bama Commercial association; Maj. F. Y Anderson and Hon. John M. McCartin, this city, and Col. H. G. Mccall of Mont gomery.
 The committee at once entered into a discussion of the matter of having Ala bama represented at the coming centen- nial, and it was evident that business, simon-pure, was meant.
 The question of having citizens sub scribe the necessary funds was talked over, but this method was decided not feasible.
 It was suggested by one of the mem bers that Hon. I. F. Culver, state com missioner of agriculture, has on hand a fund of $15,000 This fund the commis- sioner is authorized to use for specific purposes described by special laws, but it was not known if it could be used for this purpose.
 The committee decided to make an ef fort to secure this fund, or a part of it, set aside for an exhibit of the states re- sources at the centennial, and to this end the committee decided to adjourn and meet next in Montgomery, about the time the legislature convenes, when they will make concerted effort to have that body pass special laws enabling or au- thorizing the commissioner of agriculture to use a portion of the fund for the de- sired purpose

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
 Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let-up to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep IS almost impossible and under such a strain men are scarcely responsible Tor what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea or sexual weakness, until it was question whether he had not better take dose or poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspiration came to his ald in the shape of a combination of medi- cines that not only completely rsetored the general health but enlarged hls weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when 1 say free, l mean absolutely without cost because I want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my expe- rience.
 am not a philanthropist, nor dc I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures Of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how l can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mall the information, but send for it and learn that there are a few things on earth that, although they cost nothing to get, they are worth a fortune to some men, and mean a lifetime of happiness to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 1S1, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the informa- tion will be mailed in a plain sealed en- Velope. 8-30-Su&Wed-tf
