Very Important.

Every local Union should at once appoint
one of its members to act as a local agent,
who shall Immediately place himself in COR
respondence with the transportation agent
of his State and thus keep thoroughly in
formed as to Convention arrangements.
This local agent will in turn inform his
Union. Past experience has proved the
necessity of such plan. Therefore bear
these points in mind:
First, do not trouble the National
Transportation Agent with your questions; ;
he has all he can do to look after the
State Agents and the Railroad and Boat
Companies.
Second, do not trouble your State Agent
with communications from half dozen
different people from the same Union,
thus putting him to the trouble of writing
six letters where he ought not to be asked
to write but one.
To recapitulate: The local Unioners will
gain the information which they need re-
garding ways of getting to Detroit, accom-
modations, ETC., of the local Agent. The
local Agent will look to his State Agent
for his instructions, and the State Agents
will receive their instructions from the
National Agent. Very truly,
H. M. FOWLER,
Natl. Transportation Agent.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local rene
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and, there
fore, requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly ON the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it's fails to cure. Send for circulars

PAYMENTS.

The special committee on removal of
indebtedness reported upon scheme
for graded subscription, to be sought,
whereby the whole debt might be raised
from 100 persons, that it was deemed
impracticable, and that more helpful
canvass would be one which should re-
suit in contributions for the general
account. 1t was deemed inexpedient to
raise the debt at the present time; but
the committee recommended that the
evening of October Doth, at the coming
Convention, be devoted to the interests
of the General Convention. The report
was accepted, and the recommendation
commended approvingly to the COM
mittee of arrangements.
The correspondence with the Japan
Mission was considered by the Board.
The missionaries felt obliged to decline
the suggestion of the Board at the Jan
uary meeting, with reasons and sugges
tions. Mr.. Gate, because Of illness in his
family, suggested the necessity of an
early removal of part to the United
States. and claimed the right to return
under his contract within one year from
March l, 1897. The Committee on Mis-
sions, as stated, had authorized his re.
turn.
1t was voted to request Rev. c. E.
Rice to join in renewal Of his engage
ment. as member of the japan Mis-
sion. for an indefinite time, either party
to have the right to terminate the con-
tract upon one years notice.
The Financial Secretary was instructed
to continue his canvass as effectively as
circumstances will permit, by personal
appeal as we'll as other proper means.

ANDREW J, KENNEDY,

ANDREW JACKSON KENNEDY was born in
Deer Creek Township, Madison county,
Ohio, Jan. %, 1926, and died in Me-
chanicsburg, o., May g. 1897. He was a
successful teacher for twenty terms, and
honored by election to several responsible
offices. Feb. 25, 1859, he was married to
Rebecca Jane Roberts, of Clark county,
o. To them were born seven children,
four sons and three daughters. He was
sufferer for many years from terrible
malady, cancer, which, added to a final
attack Of pneumonia, caused his death.
In 1868, Squire Kennedy settled in the
old homestead in Somerford Township,
and remained there until Feb. 25, 1897,
the forty-fifth anniversary of his mar
riage, when he moved to Mechanicsburg.
Here, closely confined to his house, he
fingered, receiving all the attention that
love and devotion could render, until
death relieved his sufferings and his
freed spirit returned to God who gave it.
Two days before his death, in converse
ton with Rev. Mr.. LIE Clerc, of the
Methodist Protestant Church, Mechanics
burg, he expressed a desire that the
writer should officiate at his funeral, and
chose as his text for the occasion, Eph. 1,
Sill. He also requested Bro. LeClerc to
| assist in the services. His only regret
| was in the separation from loved ones
but he had faith in the final ingathering
| of all souls and looked forward to a
happy reunion.
The funeral services were held in the
M. P. Church in Merchandising, May 9th
under the auspices of Somerford Lodge
