S. S. CONVENTION
Will Meet In Greensboro On April
26th, 9th, 29th and Goth.

Again the time for seed sowing is
at hand and if we are to accomplish
much in the Sunday school work
this year, we must be up and doing.
There is a great spirit of enthusiasm
among the workers of the State.
Many counties have said that they
were going to take from Wayne the
banner and have already gone to
work to accomplish this. I do not
intend that any county in the State
shall get ahead of Wayne, and I
know that all Of the good men, wo-
men and children of the county will
do their utmost to make their school
the best in It's history. The way to
do this is for each person to do their
best and at the same time encourage
others daily to do likewise. It is
time now that the superintendent
and teachers begin planning and
training their classes for the township
convention, with the determination
to make it the largest and most use
full ever held.
The State sunday School Conven-
ton meets at Greensboro, n. &C.,
April Goth, 9th, 28th and Goth, and
there is no time to lose to get ready
to attend.
Each township is entitled to two
votes, but all Sunday school orkers
who attend the convention will be
given free entertainment, provided
they send in their names to me not
later than the Goth inst, stating that
they fully expect to go. This is re-
quested in order that homes may be
provided before hand.
I hope that allsuperintendents and
teachers will see that this notice is
read in the different schools next
Sunday; that all who possibly can
go will do so, as it is going to be the
best convention ever held in the
State.
Reduced rates on the railroads.

CAME NEAR DYING
From an Awful Skin Eumours
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Wasted to Skeleton.
CURED BY CUTlCURA
One Application Soothed Him to
Sleep. Cure Speedy
and Permanent.

"When my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash, which was very itchy and ran con-
siderable watery fluid. We tried every
thing we could, but he got worse all the
time till it spread TO his arms, legs, and
then to his entire body, and he got so
bad that he came near dying. The rash
would itch SO that he would scratch till
the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff
would be all over his pillow in the norm
ing. I had to put mittens on his hands
to keep him from tearing his skin around
his wrists. He got so weak and run
down that he took fainting spells like
we would think him dying. He was al
most a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
"He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. +
had not laid him down in his cradle in
the daytime for a long time. He had
got SO that he just slept in our arms all
the time. I washed him with Cuticura
Soap n put on one application of
Cuticura Ointment and he was SO
soothed that I put him i'll the cradle.
You don't know how glad 1 felt when he
felt better. Ittook n box of Cuticura
Ointment, pretty near cake OF Cuti-
Cura Soap, and about half a bottle of
Cuticura Resolvent, to cure. I think
our little boy would have died only for
the Cuticura Remedies, and I shall al
ways remain a firm friend of them"
Mrs. II. C. MAITLAND, JASPER,

No return in Il years. Mrs. Maitland
writes, under date of Feb. "a, 1903, that
the cure is permanent.
"It affords me much pleasure to in

lis true that many contract colds and
