w"rt Wizard Dying With His Secret

From the Breckenridge (Ky.) News
Uncle John Pate, one of the last of the
race of ante-bellum negroes left in this vi
cinity, is dying. He belonged before the
war to the Pate estate, and is now II
years of age. Uncle Johnnie has always
been considered one of the characters OF
the town. He was a race horse rider in
ms younger days, and in a moment of
trankness told a white friend that he only
threw" one race in his life and he was
PAID to do that. Uncle Johnnie has always
been looked upon with awe by the other
colored people of the city. This is be-
cause he bears a well-estabished repu-
tation as a "conjurer." II is a matter Of
local tradition that when Uncle Johnnie
does a "wart talk" those unsightly pro-
tuberances fade away as the morning dew
before the sun.
In fact, there are several white womer
away up in local society who confes
that the Ethiopian wart wizard has rid
them of warts and moles. Uncle Johnnie
has always kept his 'wart talk" a secret.
He says 1t was transmitted to him by an
ancestor and that IL has been in the fam
lily since Ham started i'm to colonize Africa.

as wart coniurer, and says that even an
expression of thanks will dispel the charm.

continue for three or four weeks. A great
deal of business is transacted by the gen.
eral conventions. as they are triennial, and
work accumulates largely during periods
of three years.
The general convention is comprised of
two houses, called the House of Bishops
and the House of Clerical and Lay Dele
gates, respectively. The first is the up
per house and that made up of the cler-
ical and lay delegates is the lower house.
The method of procedure in the conven-
ton is regarded as of great advantage.
Rev. Charles H. Strong, rector of ST.
Johns, says it is one of the greatest safe
guards the church has, as the votes of the
lay delegates have equal force with those
of the clerical, and cool business judgment
and sound common sense shown by the
lay delegates often serve a good purpose
IN putting a check upon the clerical dele
gates who are not so familiar with some
of the considerations involved in questions
that come before the House.

Luck of Interest Discouraged Some
of the Wholesale Grocers.
The rumors current some days ago that
the Wholesale Grocers' Association con-
templated disbanding, seems to have
good basis in fact. At that time there was
considerable dissatisfaction among a few
members who had been faithful in their
attendance at meetings and unsparng in
their services at the lack of interest shown
in the proceedings of the association by
some of the other members.
A circular letter, it is understood, was is
sued. calling for a meeting to consider the
advisability of winding up the affairs of
the association. The meeting was held,
but there was no one apparently in favor
of disbanding and the temporary lack of
interest which had discouraged the more
active members was overlooked.
From the circular letter the rumors got
a1oat that there were internal discussions
which would lead to the demise of the as
ISOLATION. The idea has now been altogeth-
er abandoned, 1t would seem.

The work of the convention will en-
