down without warning. "Be ye
therefore ready also, for the son
of man cometh at an hour ye think
net" On Tuesday last Mr.. ]. F.
Killebrew, who was residing at the
time in Collinsville, Ala, was ta'
ken suddenly very i'll, dying in 6
tew hours of apoplexy.

Harmonious Convention Held
at Harmony.

Pursuant to appointment the in-
t.rdenomipational Sunday School
convention was called TO order at
Harmony on Thursday morning
last by President l.. F. Dorm. As
spokesman for the good people of
the Harmony section Prof. &. F.
Long welcomed very cordially :he
delegates and visitors, which greet
ing was responded to in we'll chos-
Ell words by Mr.. T. Garrett Tai
bert, of Parksville.
Mr.. L. F. Dorm was reelected
president, Hon. Thos. H. Rains
ford was chosen as vice-president
and B. E. Nicholson, Esq, was
elected secretary of the conven-
ton. These gentlemen performed
the duties that devolved upon them
with becoming ease and grace.
The personnel of the executive
committee for the ensuing year is
as follows: Thomas II. Rainsford:
Jas. P. Bean, G.. NJ. Smith, T. Gar
rett Talbert, j. T. McManus, j. L..
Minis.
Unfortunately there were only
about fifty per cent Of the schools
represented and the number of
visitors in attendance was also
much less than on some former oc-
casions. This was due to the fact
that continued rains delayed farm
work in many sectious of the coun-
ty and many who desired to go did
not have time to attend the con-
vention. Upon the whole, however,
it was very profitable coming to-
gether of Christian workers. Tie
