Another publishing board, author
lied by the recent session OF the Ma
tional Baptist Convention with pres
ident, secretary, treasurer and all
other officers constituting regularly
organized board, becoming subordi-
rate to the great Baptist family, is
now in existence in this city, the
capital of Tennessee, according to the
best-informed of the Baptists. The
purpose of forming this board, as
stated by Rev. A. ]. Stokes, D. D.,
of Montgomery, Ala, while in the city
Tuesday, is to promote, publish and
circulate the National Baptist Union,
d religious paper that heretofore, at
least for seven years, was published
under the auspices of the three boards
of their convention, but which for
the past twelve months, according to
DR.. Boyd, of the Publishing Board,
was leased and published by his board,
he having absolute control and having
the editor of said paper employed at
a stipulated salary. Just what trans
pired at the first meeting of the board
is not generally known, but it is UNI
derstood that permanent plans were
made for continuing the publication
of the denominations organ, as the
Union is generally known. There
we're in this meeting Tuesday Rev.
Seymour, of GAINESVILLE, Tenn; G. P.
Woodson, of Paris; A. j. Stokes, Of
Montgomery, only three out-of-town
members. Those in the city attend
ing were Reverends T. J. Townsend
e. M. Lawrence, e. w. D. Isaac, VIM,
Craft, Messrs. T. G. Ewing and j..
Thomas Turner The board of man
agement according to the letterheads
Of this newly-formed publishing board,
consists of VIM Haynes, President;
H. D. Carpenter, Vice-President; T. G.
Ewing, Treasurer; e. w. d. Isaac,
Editor, w. L. Craft, Secretary; A. j.
Stokes, Business Manager. A better
part of the day was spent in arrang-
ing for the bringing out of the first
issue of the paper under its new man
agement. 1t is learned that they do
not contemplate keeping this organ
at it's regular size, which is 16 pages
8 columns, 20 ems; it is probable
according to the EDITORS statement
that it will not be larger than eight
pages, whether it will remain a
column, 20 EN- paper, or whether il
will be 5 column. 10 EN- could not
be learned, but it is known that con
siderable interest was created wheI
the information went out that DR.
Boyd, of the Publishing House, was
no longer its business manager. 1t is
being rumored also that it is probable
that the function of this new publishing
board-and it is regarded as such
is not likely to be confined to publish
ing weekly newspaper, as a news
paper subscription business alone il
not generally a good source of reve
nue., and this is matter that will
no doubt, come out in the future o
the new board. 1t was supposed tina
the President of the Convention, Rev
e. G. Norris. d. D., Of Helena, Ark
would be present but he was not seel
in the city during the week, henc
was not at the meeting. About tn
middle of the week no information
could be ascertained as to Whethe
the Union would be printed at tn
Baptist Publishing House. or whethe
