once, stating where they live, and how

Southern States has been disturbed
recently by the question of "alien
that church are considerably divided
on the subject. The general discus
sion of the question that has been in
progress in this section for some time
has led to a desire for full and
authoritative debate of all the points
in dispute and to that end debate
between Rev. J. j. Porter, D. D.,
of Joplin, Mo-, and Rev. G. G..
Brown, D. D. Of this city has been
arranged.
The, debate will take place in the
First Baptist Church, this city On
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
July 18th. 18th and 18th. The ques-
tion to be debated is stated as follows
"The practice of Alien Immersion is
subversive of Baptist Principles as
taught by the New Testament. !"
DR.. Porter will take the affirmative
side Of the question and Dr.. Brown
the negative. The debate is expected
to cover the subject and for that
reason their will be hundreds of
prominent Baptists from all parts Of
the South present. To those not con-
yersant with the situation the interest
that the question arouses cannot be
fully realized, but it is regarded by
Baptists as one of the questions of
vital importance to their church. It
is predicted that there will be several
hundred visitors in the city to attend
the debate and it is feared by those

A GruesOme Find.

A rather gruesome find was made by
some men who were working in the lum-
ber woods at Minister near Trumans
station, about ten days ago, it being none
other than the body of an infant child.
The men were working with teams skid
ding logs for Weller a Co., and in back
ing up to get chain around log one of
the teams uncovered a small pile Of sand
hitherto unnoticed, and in doing so the
body of a child was tossed away. to the
horror of the men. The body was left
where found until the Coroner OF Warren
county could be notifed-the spot being
just over the line in that county-but as
yet there have been no developments
leading 10 the identity Of the find so far
as we have been able to ascertain. The
child was evidently but a day or two old
when death occurred, if indeed there
ever had been any life in It.
The Coroner's investigation removed
all sensational features from the cease, -
and developed the fact that the child was
still-born and had been buried there by
the father.
