There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local reme-
dies, and by constantly falling to cure
with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken Internally in doses from 10 drops to
a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn They offer one hundred dollars for
any case II fails to cure. SEND for cir
cuiars and testimonials. Address F.. j.

New York. June ct was a waiting
market again for cotton futures, with
neither side disposed TO take the initia-
1--WE. and the variations were confined

session. The first call developed n
steady tone. with prices unchanged to
| pOint higher At the best the mar
ket showed Il net gain of 2M3 points
with the tone finally quiet to . points
net higher. There was scarcely any
outside interest, while the local con-
tngcnt showed Indifference eXcept for
a DISPOSITION TO hold of for the June
report, due from Washington Saturday
morning. Local sentiment continued
rather bearish on the more or less cur
rent bciiei mat the cotton crop was in
the main 'all right" Crop gossip how
ever. was not free from unravorabe
examples. notably reports from scvo
raj sections of the belt indicating un-
satisfactory conditions resulting from
continued dry weather.

BAPTlSTS AT BRANDON.
They Hold Their Seventy-Fifth Annual
Gathering and Discuss Many Papers.

They Hold Their Seventy-Fifth Annual
Gathering and Discuss Many Papers.
Tue sday's lowering skies and floods of
rain could not dampen the ardor of the
large gathering Of Baptist pastors and
members at their seventy-tifth anniver.
sary in Brandon. The afternoon was
occupied by very interesting woman's
missionary meeting, conducted by Miss
Mary Brown. Tuesday evening Presi-
dent Lawson of Bennington presided.
Pastor Townsend made eloquent refer
ence to the organization of the conven-
tion in Brandon. Prof. S. Burnham of
Hamilton, n. Y, spoke on "The Fine
Work of the Ministry" urging that this
was work of teaching the church. c.
II. Spalding, district secretary American
Baptist Publishing society, presented the
work of that society as one of the great
10Th century movements. Wednesday
morning the treasurer's report showed
the debt nearly extinguished. The re-
port of the board was given by Rev. S.
II. Archibald. Twenty-seven churches
have been aided. Continued revival is
reported by several churches. A full
discussion of convention WORK followed,
in which great enthusiasm was shown.
Rev. DR.. W. 5. Smart of Brandon ex-
tended to the convention an earnest
greeting in behalf of the Congregational
churches. Rev. S. Ii. Archibald spoke
impressively of the notable abiding
work of Christian education done at
