tary for the Baptist denomination
of the state, and Rev. Joseph G.
Watts, vice-president of the, B. Y.
P. u. in the south, who will be soon
located at Richmond, Va. DIR.
Moore made a most excellent adj
dress in our Baptist church on Sun
day school work, and Mr.. Watts
followed him in one of the most
taking, brilliant and earnest adj
dresses the writer ever heard on
Young peoples work. Ii was regular
conference day and notwithstand-
ing the inclcmency of the weather,
they had a comparatively good au-
dience. In the afternoon they lee
tufed for Mr.. White at Plum
Branch.
The Baptist conference by motion
authorized the pastor TO appoint
committee Of young ladies to solicit
subscriptions for the Baptist Couri-
er at his leisure. The following
have been appointed: Lucy Jaro,
Martha Dorm, Sallie Morgan and
Barbie Christian.

God and took courage.
A second municipal election took
place in our town on Saturday the

election Of DR.. ID. A. J. Bell, in

Rain, Rain, Rain! The farmers
are quite much discouraged on ac-
count of it. A great deal of guano
has been hauled away. from Parks
Vile this year, which would indi-
cate the intention to plant large
crop. 1t may be large crop of cot
ton, but it is to be hoped that it
means the fertilization of the lands
for corn, and that many will COM
pete for The Advertisers prize.
Small grain is beginning to come
out and look as if we might harvest
a good grain crop.
The farmers union here, with
Mr.. A. V. Mayson as president,
has been ordering goods for the
members at a great saving We un-
derstand. The farmers need some
thing that will help them, and we
devoutly trust that in this new ven,
ture they may be successful in saw
ing something by purchasing to-
getlier, which seems to me to be
feasible and reasonable.
The new brick store of Robert
