Divided Into Districts.

DlNiutQ lUlO DiSltiCtSs
 'sThe work is done by dividing the ter ritory in districts, over which suitable person is put in charge. These districts in a town or city are subdivided into blocks containing from forty to fifty homes and '. sufficient number of visitors secured to visit the said blocks The vis- itors go two by two, representing diff ferent denominations, and experience shows that they can visit from forty to sixty houses within three hours. The advantage of visitation by the whole community over that by a single de- nomination are that by united effort of sll the churches of all denominations we have access to all homes, the visitor re- presenting not himself or the church to which he belongs. but all churches in the community, and the information gathered is for the benefit of the church preferred by the person visited. This secures ac- cess to every home, and information about the whole family. If only one church undertook the visitation, compar atively few visitors could be secured and they would not have access to every hcme It is incumbent upon each church to visit all of the people that it ought to influence, snd hence if every church did it's full duty along this line, there would be repeated visitations, the loss of much valuable time, and the cause Of friction between the churches; whereas united effort enables us to visit every home within a short time. to get accurate in- formation and to place in the hands of each church the information that 1t needs and they can then follow 1t up systemati- cally and successfully.
 No One Can Object.
 ''The questions asked of the persons In the home visited are such that no one can reasonably object to giving the in- formation, it being confined to the name of the family, and the number of per- sons included in the record those under IS years or age, the number attending church at east once a month. those who attend Sunday school regularly, and the church preference of the parties. No question is asked as to whether or not they belong to the church. That matter

oThese incidents will illustrate the spirit of the canvass. A canvass was being made in a certain city and a visi- tor went into a home where the per- son said that he had no choice of churches, didn't attend church and really was without a preference. The visitor sail, suppose there was serious sickness in your family, would you send, under those circumstances, for minis ter and if so, whom? He said, Under those circu instances I would send for Key. - It was good for him that he was put in touch with the one min ister who was likely to be able to help him. It was good for the pastor to know

Congratulations.

Mr.. John H. Cullom, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy as follows: Sixteen years ago
when our first child was baby he was
subject to croupy spells and we would
be very uneasy about him: We began
1887, and finding it such a reliable rem
edy for colds and Group, we have never
been without it in the house since that
time. We have five children and have
given it to all of them with good results:
One good feature Ct this remedy is that
it is not disagreeable to take and our
babies really like it. Another is that
it is not dangerous, and there is no risk
from giving an overdose. I congratu-
late you upon the success of your rem
edy." For sale by Smith Drug Co.,

in trance. But it matters but little
if you did, as far as the story is con-
cerned, and I want to say that l
had a most peculiar experience one
evening as I broke out of coffin
and popped from tomb, and into
the most spectral cemetery I ever
saw. Mind you, am not man to
take myself seriously;I invariably
let life take care of itself-except
when I find that I am locked up III
a casket. However, it is not my
purpose to deal to any great extent
with the horror that attends an
awakening within the charnel-
house; for that side Of the story IS
not the most salient part. I will re
serve the conclusion ofthe latter for
the end. I have several times fallen
into frances, and it was during my
last trance, which, in duration, sur-
passed any of the previous ones that
was buried for dead. On the even

upon something hard, and between
sleep and wakefulness, and was too
Yaggard to open my e,es. l knew
not where was, nor just how long
I had been in that particular plight
but soon afterward realized that l
was sinking into worse condition.
I managed to open my eyes. 1t was
dark, and the air was cold and damp,
but sufocating. inhaled the at
mosphere Of the charnel-house, and
BY some indescribatle intuition re-
allied my predicament-reallzed
that I was within the gloomy por-
tails of the tomb. This only I re-
allied then; and the realization came
upon me in dull way, for my sen
sibilities were too dull to allow any
thing to excite me or to interest
me exceeding much. l attempted
to lift my fevered srms and move,
but found that the coffin was not
large enough; barely few inches
of emptiness in:ervened between my
body and the side Of the funeral
box. I lay still for few succeed
ing minutes, meditating on some
way Of escape I then felt some
trimming near the top Of the cohln's

Series of Meetings at Methodist Church.
 Come to Close.
 Clayton. Aug. 2S.-(Special. 1.-The series of meetings which has been in progress at the M. E. Church for the past ten days were closed yesterday. The pastor, Rev. R. H. Lewis. was assisted by the presiding elder. Rev |. T. W. Gavin. The services were we'll attended throughout and there were twelve or fifteen accessions to the church. The presiding elder is 6 pull pit orator of unusual ability and power.
 Sam Carroll. of Troy. addressed the people of Clayton yesterday afternoon and last night on the subject of the worlds fourth Sunday school conven- tion which was recently held in Jeru- salem.
 Mir. Carroll was ono of i've Alabam- fans of the SIS American delegates who attended that convention. Num- bers were turned away from the after noon address at the Baptist church. being unable to obtain seats. The night service was held in the M. F.. church, Which Is more commodious. and this too was filled.
 MT. Carroll's plain business-like pre- sentation of facts and deductions based upon that convention constitutes a most thrilling theme and marks him as one of the delegates to that history making convention of which Alabama may well be proud.

COSTS NOTHING UNLESS CURED.
A Fair Offer Maae by E. c. Fowler to
 All Sufferer frnu Cnfarrh.

A Fair Offer Maae by E. c. Fowler to
 All Sufferers from Catarrh.
 E. G. Fowler Is selling Hyomei on plan that has caused considerable talk among his customers
 The plan Is different from that fol. lowed by other remedies, but the rem edy itself is different also. This treat ment for the cure of catarrh has such an unusual record of cures to it's credit that MT. Fowler offers to refund tho money If 1t does not give the desired benefit. This Is certainly one of the fairest offers that can be made and any one who has catarrh and does not take advantage of 1t Is doing himself or herself an injustice.
 The Hyomei treatment consists of A small hard rubber inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket or purse, medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo- mel. The complete treatment costs but $1.0O and as the Inhaler will last n lifetime the medicine is very inexpen- sive. Many people who have used 1t write that for the good Hyomei has done them they would willingly pay thousands of dollars
 Extra bottles of Hyomei can be pro- cui ed for use with the inhaler at 50e.
 Do not suffer any longer with tick ling, smarting, burning, eye-waterin9 troubles that affiict those who have catarrh. Hyomei will cure you, but f you should not find 1t adapted to your case, MT. Fowler will return your money. aug So.sep (.

He was with friends when last seen. He left them shortly after mid night Saturday night. pulling out his watch as he departed and saying that he was going home. The watch was not found on the clothing on the body. and this fact. coupled with the finding of n blood stained stone in the vicinity of the tragedy, furnished the evidence of foul play upon which the police are working. Bixby was Q young man of good habits.
