Chicken Show in Wilmington.

Wilmington dispatch: The third an
nual show of the Wilmington Poul-
try Association opened tonight. The
exhibition is under a large tent, so
by $50 feet, extending down the mid
die of one of the principal streets in
the retail district. The number of
entries is very large and the grade
of the chickens very high. The ex-
hibitors are mainly from this State,
but quite a number of birds came
from South Carolina and Virginia.
Mr.. J. S. Jeffrey,of Raleigh, manager
of the Experiment Station, is here.
He has entered many fine chickens.
He says the show is the largest exhi-
bition of fine poultry ever held in the
South. Mr.. r. L. Simmons, of Lex
ington, an expert, is the JUDGE. The
show will last throughout the week.

The Baptist State Convention was

successful annual gatherings of this
large religious body ever held in the

from the various associations and
churches, representing 10000 North
Carolina Baptists, which show that
this denomination is going forward
along all lines. The financial con-
tributions this year were shown to

lead all previous years, for all pur-
poses of b~enevolence over $82 $3.50
having been contributed, exceeding
last year by $4,000.
It was shown that there are now
one hundred and three State Bap-
tist missionaries and nineteen as
sociational missionaries working
throughout the State. The total con-
tributions to State Missions during
the year reached the large sum of
$25,171. The Baptist colleges, Wake
Forest and the Female University at
Raleigh, we're reported as being. in a
fourishing condition. Among the
first things done by the Convention
was the raising of the debt amount
ing to several thousand dollars on
the last-named institution. The work
Of the Baptist women of the State
was shown to have fully kept up
with that of the men, all things be-
ing considered. A reDort showed.
that within seventeen years the wo-
mans. organization had raised for
missions the sum of $95,246, their
contributions this year amounting to
$11,322. The report on Foreign Mis-
sions showed a decided advance,
nearly $4,000 being reported for this
object, an increase of something like
$4,000.
Not satisfied with these splendid
reports, this aggressive body of
Baptists decided to do even better
for the coming year. It was deter
mined by the Convention to raise
$3O,0OO-an increase of $5,OOO-for
State Missions and $12,OOO-an in
crease of $4,OOO-for Home Missions.
to be used in missionary work in the
Southern States and Cuba. IF these
encouraging reports are to be taken
as an evidence of what is being done
among the other Christian bodies in
this State, it is indeed gratifying,
and only goes to show hat the cause
of Christianity in this God-favored
land of ours is certainly not losing
ground, but on the contrary, is max
ing most favorable progress in every
way.-Chatham Record.
