" WILL NOT UNITE
Baptis Association and the two Territory
Voted Down Union.

Oklahoma City, OF Sept. 2S.
It was practically conceded that the
Oklahoma aud Indian Territory
Baptist associations now in session
here would be united This
sentiment has prevailed throughout
the meeting, but after tour hours,
discussion OF the matter last night
in joint session, at times the argu-
ment becoming heated, vote
resulted in 60 for consolidation and
81 against. On account Of the
minority vote, which indicated SO
many against it, a motion was
passed to postpone the matter for
the year.
During he discussion the
prohibition clau e in the statehood
bill was referred to frequently, and
lit is not denied that, that was the
principal cause Of the opposition
Indian Territory Baptists want
prohibition, and they want to be
sure Of getting it. They fear if
statehood is cured this winter
pressure will be brought to bear
from the Oklahoma portion detri
mental to prohibition Th'
ass ocigtions will remain in session
during the remainder of the
week.
In the Oklahoma association
today Rev Mp. Hunt, Of Kansas
City, was elected corresponding
secretary and general field mission
ary; Rev. J.A. Scott, OF Beaver
county, president Of the convention
and L. w. Marks, Of Edmond,
recording secretary. These, with
the oficeris elected yesterday COM
pleted the list for the next year.

The Smyrna Public Schools opened

and nearly the full quota of scholars
in all departments. Principal John P.
Burdette was kept busy all morning in
directing supervision. The new vice
principal Edward L. PontZ of Eliza
bethtown, Pa. was present and made a
most favorable impression. The
pupils soon saw that he was a man
who commanded respect and would en-
force that discipline which is needed
in the school. Vice principal POntz
will have the work of the High School
Department in charge and gives evid-
ence of being a valuable assistant to
Principal Burdette. The other
teachers were all present including
Miss Bessie Middleton who was elected
teacher of the Fifth Grade to succeed
Miss Anna Beckett who resigned to
take course of study at Dickinson
College, Carlisle, Pa. The building
and grounds have been put in fine con-

FORMER sMYRNIAN LOSES FROM FIRE.
Postmaster W. E. Baggs and Children Barely
Escape While Building Was Destroyed.

Representative W. H. Baggs, of this
town, has received a letter from his
only son, Mr.. William E. Baggs, of
Stevensville, Montana, notifying him
of serious misfortune that visited his
home last Sunday night week. Mr..
Baggs is the postmaster of Stevens
vile and the postoflice and residence
are under one roof. Some time dur
ing the night dre broke ont in some
mysterious manner and the postmas-
ter and his two little children, William
and Clara, barely escaped with their
lives. The children's beds were on
fire when they were pulled from the
flames. So suddenly did the fire
| spread that nothing was saved. The
post Office and contents and all the
household goods we're destryed entail
ing a personal loss of over $4,000, to
say nothing of the loss to the Govern
ment. Mrs. Baggs at the time was
visiting in Butte, Mont. The loss falls
heavily on Mr.. Baggs. He had re.
Gently at his own expense fixed rp the
postoffice and put in fixtures costing
him 5000. This and all the contents,
including valuable mail was licked up
by the flames. Inasmuch as it affects
the United States rails, the fire vii
doubtless work much confusion.

SMYRNA GETS PROMINENT
MENTION At FARMERS FAIR
WINS NEARLY ALL THE FIRST EXHIBITS AT
BRANDYwINE SPRINGS FOR GRAPES.
Severson's Sunday School Excursion Take s
Many Farmers and Fruit Growers With
Their Families to the Springs Thursday

The Severson's NJ. E. Sunday School
Excursion to Brandywine Springs
Park via Steamer G. F. Brady, came
off Thursday morning and the weather
being cool and delightful, brought ont
large number of farmers and their
families, who attended the Farmers
Fair given at the Springs under the
auspices of the Delaware State Grange.
1t was not long before the carrying
capacity of the boat was up to its full
est limit and more than fifty were left
on the wharf. Many of these took the
trip by train. Outside of the unpleas-
ant feature of separating the party,
the excursion was success and a
delightful time was had. After a
delightful ride up the river, in which
the efficient officers of the Brady ex-
tended every courtesy, the excursion
lists boarded the trolley for the Springs
where several hours were given of full
enjoyment. The Springs had addi-
tional interest from the fact that the
Farmers Fair was being held. Thurs
day was the banner day and large
crowds were in attendance. Some OF
the finest exhibits in livestock, poultry
and fruit in the state was displayed.
In the fruit exhibit Smyrna was as us.
ual to the front and in grapes led all
the competitors. The best plate dis.
play was credited to W. T. Massey oi
near town who was awarded first prize
by the judges. In the several varieties
of grapes, Mr.. J. e. Carter of this
town, who is the largest grape cultur
ist of the Peninsula, was awarded frs
prize each in his magnificent exhibits
of Concord's, Niagara's Wyoming
Reds, Warden's, Morris Early, En-
pire State and Brighton's, seven frs
prizes in all. The splendid exhibit
were viewed with much interest b.
many of the excursionists and alto
gether the outing taken by Severson'
was one of the most interesting an
delightful they have taken in recer
years.
