Mr.. H. S. Smith, who has quite
recently made confession of faith
and connected himself with the
Baptist church of this place, is
superintendent, and deserves a
great deal of credit for the earnest,
energetic and fearless manner, in
which he is pushing the work for
the betterment of the moral and
spiritual condition of his fellows.
May the Lord Jesus ever walk by
his side.
The farmers hereabouts are
wearing a healthy smile and when

ye the Lord-what He takes out of
one hand he places in the other.
