Whereas, Brother J. Manning

as he is father of the conference and
has been it's honored president since

THE BIG BAPTlZIN0.

The converts of the colored Bap.
fist church will be baptised in
Spring river Easter Sunday, April
10, at o'clock sharp, rain or shine
About 40 converts were converted
during the revival last winter and
a few of them were willing and
anxious to be immersed in the cold
icy water, but a large majority
favored for warmer weather and
more sunshine.
If there is no backsliding this
will be the biggest baptising ever
conducted in this city and every
body should attend whether they
ever saw colored baptising or not.
II will be grand fete day for
whites as we'll as colored.
Three ministers will take part in
the services, good music in attend
ance, the best of order will be pre-
served and all who come may be
sure of proper police protection
and a good time generally.
We tender a cordial and pressing
invitation TO our Galena friends to
be present. We want them to come
over and see the contrast between a
pious, moral law and order town,
and wide.open Sabbath.br breaking

them how much better il 10 to be
baptized and be saved than to be
held up and be id. Don't forget
the date and come one. come all.

LOWELL ACADEMY.

We call the attention of our
readers to the Lowell Academy,
founded some five years ago. prin.
cipally by the progressive spirit OF
Prof. ". b. Morgan, for many years
Professor of Mathematics in Earl.
ham College. Richmond, Indiana,
For the past two years il has been
under the wise supervision OF
Chas. E. Cosand, a classical gradu-
ate of Earlham College, fine stu.
dent and scholar and a perfect
gentlemen. Under him and his
excellent corps of instructors this
institution has justly attained an
enviable name for true academic
work.
The best Academies in America
have never been found in the large
cities.
From Exeter Academy, where
Daniel Webster prepared for COL
lege, westward to the Lowell Acad-
envy. we find the best schools in
small villages, where the moral
character of youth 10 shielded and
nothing of a communicating influ-
ence may be found, az in large
places. The territory and Cherokee
County, Kansas, should highly ap-
preciate this institution of learning
as she 10 near their homes, aud the
small expense when compared with
other institutions is worthy of their
consideration.
From fifty to one hundred stu.
dents from the territory should be
found annually in this school.
Much has been added to the eff.
ficiency of this institution during
the past year in the purchase of
new apparatus for the physical and
chemical laboratories; also in it's
musical department they have
made great progress, not only in
the purchase of instruments. but
in the work that Miss Morris has
accomplished in cultivating a high
er taste for both vocal and instru.
mental music.
We understand that there is
possibility of Prof. W. B. Morgan,
the founder of the institution, be-
ing a member of the faculty the
coming year az professor of mathe-
mates and astronomy. This will
not only be valuable acquisition
to the Academy, but TO Cherokee
county.

Daniels * Hartley have made hun
dreds of sales of real estate, and
you can't find a man who will say
he was ever deceived, cheated
misled or disappointed by them ia
a real estate transaction. This
may seem a mystery to some, but il
must be understood. Mr.. Hartley
is the religious man of the firm
He got It when he was young. He
lost a good deal of 1t at Bull Run
and more during the campaign
when the Pops carried Kansas, but
he still retains the sterling integri-
~ of a Wabash river pilot, and
when Hartley says anything is so,
it's 40! This remark only applies TO
his real estate transactions and
does not refer to his auction bust
ness aud political affairs.) If you
wish to sell or buy real estate call
on Daniels & Hartley or write to
them for descriptive circulars,
