Editor PLANET,
The BluestoDe Baptist Sunday School
Union convened with the First Baptist
Church Of Algoms, West Va on Satur-
day October i, 1898 with q very large
delegation. Rev. William Brown OF
Graham, Va, pastor of.Ethe Baptist
Tabernacle Church delivered the in
troductory sermon. This union is
composed OF the various Sunday
Schools thronghout the great Flat Top
Ooalheld. We were not present but
learn that the Sunday Schools will
soon begin to use nothing else saving
the literature published by the Negro
Baptist Publishing House OF Knoxville,
Tenn 1t is just the thing we will re-
ioice to see, rs we have contend ed that
all our schools should adopt it every
where. The oGiesrs elected for the en-
suing year were as follows: Mr. w. A.
benson, President; Mr.. w. H. Wilton,
Vice-President Miss Ardelia Woody,
Secretary Mr.. s. L. Hicks, Treasurer;
Miss Nancy Moorehead, Correspond
| ing Secretary.
Mr.. B. II. Peyton, the General In
| spector for the Richmond Beneficial
| and Insurance Company arrived in this
city few days ago and proceeded at
once TO Pocahcntas where he has open
| an up-to date first class branch office
on Church St., which is ths most de-
sirable and finest location in the CITY
for the business. Mr.. Peyton has re-
ceived hundred of compliments upon
his wise selection for such a fine loca-
from white and colored.
Mr.. Peyton is q small statue-man.
but is great in ability as an all stirring
unerring and careful planner for the
interest OF the great company which
| judgement could not have made a
more wise and competent appointment
than 1T did in putting such hustling,
energetic and polished young man on
| the Held as Mr.. Peytou. lie has made
many warm friends since he has been
here. The "0ld Reliable" will soon
roll up large membership in this sec
| tion.
Mr.. w. r. Patterson of this city has
severed any and all connections with
Mr.. George Williams. Jr.'s Insurance
company OF Lynchburg. to accept the
managership of the Branch Office.
With AR. Patterson's magnetic. hust-
ling qualifications as manager for DR..
Graham's Company, success is already
assured when he is treated. Mr.. Pat
terson has lived here among this peo-
pie Tor thirteen years and all know
nothing OF him saving q straightfor-
ward and honest christian gentleman
and can ALWAYS carry the people in the
right way. He wishes to return many
thanks to that gallant, noble, refined
and polish pulpit orator, Rev. w. e
Graham, ID. D., as manager for his
company in the city of Pocahontas and
In the Flat Top Coslfield. He has 9
NEE membership already, about one
hundred and they are coming in very
rapidly every day. When such mer
as DR.. Graham ami Hon. John L. Tay-
lor, the Eecretary and Business Mana
ger and Others of like qualities, why
the very name of the "Old ReliabIe' o.
Richmond will always succeed. 1t il
the company for you to insure with Il
|, you desire your claims paid promptly
and be treated right.
