Finh Sunday Meeting.

The fifth Sunday meeting OF the
Fair River Association, which con-
vened with the Damascus Baptist
church, Franklin county, on last Sat-
urday and Sunday was well attended,
especially on the second day. The
sermon on Sunday at II o'clock was
preached by Rev. r. j. Boone to q
large congregation. The next meet
ing will be held with the Arlington
Baptist church, Lincoln county, the
18th Sunday in July. The following de-
served tribute to Rev. e. P. Douglass
was adopted by the meeting on Sun
day:
Your committee, with the rest of you,
miss the usual helpful presence OF
Bro. e. p. Douglass. He is at his
home sick, and has been for some
months an intense sufferer, but, as we
know, he bears his affection with the
patience Of Christian conservation, only
waiting for the Master to say, "Come
up higher"
We know of no one truer or more
faithful to the cause of Christ than
our dear Bro. Douglass. As brave as a
lion and harmless as a dove, his I'M
compromising loyalty to righteousness,
causes him to be admired by all who
know him. Churches, neighborhoods,
families and individuals are intensely
anxious about him, and one expressing
their sympathies for him, and with
them we unite in prayer to Him who is
too wise to make any mistake, too good
to do wrong, to spare the life of our
dear brother and allow us to enjoy his
usefulness, if it be His holy will; If not,
give us all grace to be submissive.
May the God of all grace abundantly
bless Bro. Douglass and his family and
cause all of us to fully realize shat all
things work together for good to them
that love God"
Respectfully submitted,
r. J. BOONE,

Master Leroy Ashley Is now board
ing pupil at Little Bahala school.
Prof Girault says, he is wonderfully
behind with his fishing too many lit
tie things to look after about home
every Saturday.
Ye Local is the happy recipient of a
basket of early vegetables at the hands
and from the fine garden of Mrs G.
w. Smith, who is always so very con-
siderate. Many thanks.
Prof Girault has a fine school at
Little Bahala, especially in point of
progress. He has taught more than
% years at this place. The parents of
nearly all the children now attending
his school were once his pupils.
There will be a reunion and roll call
of the members of Little Bahala Bap-
fist church at the next regular meeting
on the second Sunday in May. Two
sermons that day with dinner ON the

Hinged With Romance,

Quite novel marriage ceremony
was performed at the Meadville Par
Sonage on Saturday evening last, which
united in the holy bonds of wedlock
Miss Maggie Newman, of Veto, and DR..
Landy Mcmillan, of Kennolia. Miss
Maggie was visiting Mrs. r. S. Butler
on Saturday last and just little after
twilight the Doctor drove up to the
residence in his buggy and asked for
Miss Maggie, who, without ceremony,
after having limited to the members of
the household to follow, stepped into
the buggy and was driven straight to
the Parsonage gate, where they halted
and notified Rev. Mr.. Sibley, in whose
hands was placed written document
which caused the good man to open
wide his eyes.
Mr.. Sibley quickly took in the situa-
ton and securing lamp walked to the
gate and as the handsome young
couple sat in the buggy, told them to
JOIN right hands and take upon them
selves the solemn obligation necessary
TO make them man and wife; which
they did as though it had been pre-
medltated for months past. Then
asking that the blessings of Heaven
might follow them through life he
babe them go their way rejoicing. The
parents of the young couple were in
total ignorance of their int entions to
marry, and were doubtless surprised
on their return home to learn that
they had started out ON life's road to-
gether, for better or for worse. With
the best wishes of their host of friends
here they left Sunday morni ng for
their home. --Frdnklin Advocate.

Two hearts can make love affair, but it
