the, programme is the lecture on - Bacteria

evening of Thursday. December I'd. This
lecture will be illustrated with a stereop-

much interest to ALL and contain valua-

men.
There will be a very attractive fancy
exhibit of cheese and other dairy products
by Boston parties; also elaborate fancy
exhibits of butter by Maine parties. The
indications are that the exhibit of dairy
machinery will be large, and it will
probably include implements never before
exhibited at these meetings. All inter

SACRIFICES HIS SON.
Negro Preacher Goes Insane Over the
story Of Abraham and Isaac.

story of Abraham and Isaac.
Oscar Williams, colored Baptist
preacher residing in the negro settle
ment three miles from Elba, Ala, went
daft lately over the story of Abraham
and Isaac, which was his favorite text
and which he held as his pattern of
faith. The negroes thought little of
his idiosyncrasy, which developed into
his having visions, in which he said he
had been commissioned from on high
to repeat Abraham's testimonial of
obedience. When the old man started
into the woods with bis two-year-old
son, whose name, Isaac, helped to carry
out the crazy mans conception, no one
suspected anything wrong. In q half
hours time terrific screams were heard
and neighbors rushed to the woods.
In the heart of thicket they discov-
cred the boy strapped to a log and the
old man standing over him with a
bloody knife in his hand. The boy died
soon after the neighbors arrived, the
old man having cut his throat. When
questionedas to the reason for his crime
the old man said he had obeyed the
Lord, who had commanded the sacri-
flee and did not interrupt it. The SUI
perstitious negroes were too dazed to
arrest the maniac, who wandered off in
the depth of the forest.

was much dialogue and ardent discus

the dog stood gravely on the upper

then went into his owners room and
rolled about on the rug, barking like q
