Some odd Phases of Her March

The history OF the organization and growth
OF the Baptist Church I'm the old city Is Of more
than ordinary interest. Prior to 1850 the mem
bers OF this sect were few in number and these
few maintained prayer meetings for several
years IN private dwellings. In 1865 they held
services IN rigging loft In William-st.. and a
sermon was occasionally delivered 10 them by
minister from Scotch Plains n. J.. OF the church
az which place they were considered branch.
Once In three months Elder Miller the pastor
OF the Scotch Plains church. administered the
sacrament to them IN the wiiam-st. rigging
loft.
In 1160 a small church was founded by the
sect in Gold-st. between Fulton and John. and
in 1862 the First Baptist Church was inaugu-
rated. with twenty-seven members. the Rev.
John Gano. a scholar OF rare culture, becoming
the first pastor. The infant church fourished
under his ministry for sixteen years prior 10 the
War OF tho Revolution. the membership increas-
ing from a mere handful TO two hundred
communicates with the breaking out OF hos
tilities the Rev. John Gano became a chaplain
In the army. The little congregation was scat
tered, and their house OF worship was turned
into stable by the British troops. When peace
again reignel the minister returned TO the city
20 take up his charge but could find only thirty
seven of the former two hundred and fifty mem
bers OF his church. He valiantly set TO work
to re-establish the body. and in a short time the
house of worship rehabilitated and the
membership was increased to nearly three hun
dred. In 17SS Mr.. Gano resigned his charge. and
succeeded by the Rev. DIT. Benjamin Eos
ter. who ministered for ten years. During the
passionate OF his successor. the Rev. William

Convention of Tobacco Farmers.

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 29.-J. A.
Everett, president of the American
Society of Equality, has issued a
call inviting tobacco growers to meet
in convention at Lynchburg, Va,
November 10 and II to discuss the
tobacco situation and to decide on
a price for the various .tobaccos. The
call says in part:
at has been abundantly demon
strated that farmers can be factors
in shaping the prices of their pro-
ducts. Proofs of this statement are
found in the wheat market of the
PAST year, in corn, oats, cattle, hogs,
cotton, etc., etc. Prices of all these
have permanently, or for periods,
been influenced by the quantity
thrown on the market or withheld
from it. Even in your own special
crop, tobacco, there have been un-
mistakable evidences that withhold
ing the supply increases the price"
