The Baptists were the first denomination
to organize and build a church in Bruns-
wick. The organization was formed in Au-
gust 1884, by Rev. II. p. Cooper with nine
members viz: John S. Marlin and wife,
Ben Farmer and wife, Lewis Harris and
wife. Mrs. NJ. f. Houston, Miss Minnie
Anderson and James Club. Mrs. Ruth II.
Marlin and Mrs NJ. f. Houston are the
only surviving members of the original
number. For thirty years the Baptists
worshpped in the church near Magnolia
park. In 1889 during the passionate of Rev.
f. z. F. Golden, DID,. the present build
ing was erected.
The one thing for which the church feels
most profoundly grateful is the number of
splendid characters she has helped to
build during the past forty-two years.
The present condition of the church is
very encouraging. Many signs of life and
growth are evident. From nine the church
has grown to more than 200 mem
bers. The following are the pres
ont presiding officers: Walter NJ
Gilmore pastor; F. e. Twitty, superin-
tendent of Sunday school; C. D. Ogg
pre- sident of Baptist Young Peoples Union
A. L. Putnam, president of board of trus-
tees; Mrs. G. w. Blanton, president of
Ladies' Aid Society The future is bright
with precious promises. To be a life-saving
station, rescuing men from death, is the
church's highest ambition. Loyalty to
Chris: In all things at all times is her
motto.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. I2.-The
Worlds correspondent at London cables:
The Madrid Government has been so
favorably impressed by the welcome pub
lie opinion and the press are said to have
given the new policy, that it has been de-
cided to reply to the note of Woodford in
polite but firm tone, absolutely ignoring
the possibility of mediation, declining to
fix date for the closing of the war and
exercising the belief that the condition of
the insurrection and the activity and eff
forts of the Spanish forces, coupled with
the contemplated reforms, are quite sufici-
ent to justify the hope of an early pacifi-
cation, which would have been more
rapid if the rebels had not found support

ICo Oct. 12.-Fuentes aud Morales, two
leaders of the revolution in Guatemala,
have reached here by travelling day and
night, having abandoned their country on
learning that Barrios had sent large
force against them.
Many others. filled with panic and
dreading the vengeance of Barrios, have
left all their property behind them.
There are at this moment in this depart
ment more than 1000 refugees, among
them many private persons and revolu-
tionists. Nobody expected such a result
when the revolution began under such
brilliant auspices and the revoiu-
tionlsts were in possession of so many
strong places and had the general support
of the people. Refugees know their prop

ment has issued a decree to that effect
