MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET,

MANCHESTER. England. February s.
The cloth market was decidedly quiet
during the past week and some manu-
facturers are making concessions In order
to do business. The Chinese New Year
did not bring increased orders. in spite
of the reports of small stocks at various
places while the Indian, Mediterranean
and South American orders amounted to
practically nothing.
Yarns moved equally slowly. Margins
are gradually disappearing, supplies are
increasing and the question of shutting
down temporarily is being seriously con-
sidered In some quarters.

Conservative opinions of improvement

represented by girl of fifteen.
She had a fine report. The girl
who represented the Searcy Home
Mission said there were more girls
in the Young Peoples Society who
would conduct the devotional SER
vices than there were in the older
ladies' society. This same lady
told how she managed to hold her
Sunday school class of boys by
organizing band. Now the boys
play for Sunday school and they
keep flowers in the church. One
Society reports Christmas din
ner given to the poor; Others say
they have the men join the society
as contributing members. Another
has sent boy to the hospital to
have his eyes treated; Others have
cottage prayer meetings; another is
studying the Discipline. Most all
of the societies have sent boxes to
the Orphans Home. The babies
with their mite boxes have paid for
the Florence McEacher home, with
s2, 900 over, which will be used at
the Dallas home for the fallen girls.
A memorial service was held for
three sisters who had gone to their
reward this year. The third day
Miss Bennett arrived and we spent
most of the day asking her questions
She recommended that we have a
state organizer and Miss Dilmam of
Paragould was elected. Also that
the article on page "a of our by
laws be dropped, and that the pas
tor or superintendent read the
monthly bulletin at the church,
Miss Bennett thinks the Sunday
school is neglecting the boys. She
recommends that we hold an open
Sc ssion once a year, and is very
anxious that all the societies observe
the week of prayer. Her talk on
giving the tenth made me afraid
not to do it. Our motto is; "Keep
Sweet" The Home Mission is do
ing great work. Miss Bennett
gave a talk at night on "What the

Again the hearts of the people Of

learning of the sad death of little
Genendal Ryburn. On the night of
July 90 the death angel came and
claimed for its victim Genendal, the
infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. T.

been sick only few days and her
death was sad surprise to the
neighbors, but all that loving hands
and tender hearts could do was done
but all in vain, for we must submit

DEAR SISTERS:

DEAR SISTERS:

l heard and tell it as | heard 1t; or
that | could impress those things on
your mind and heart as they have
been impressed upon my heart. A
committee met us at the station
with cabs TO take us to our homes,
where we met hearty welcome.
The first evening was devoted to
addresses of welcome, the first by
Bro. Davidson, the pastor, in be-
half of the church and town, the
mayor being absent; next by a
member of the society. l did not
think those two could have been
beaten, but when sister from the
Baptist church came forward with a
large wreath of flowers and gave such
a sweet talk, then presented the
wreath to the president, / decided
that was the best. Then came a
sister from the Christian church;
next a sister from the Presbyterian
church, both being very fine. Then
came the informal reception IN the
church parlors. This made us feel
very much at home with the Jones'
bOro people.
