NAsHvILLE NOT BIDDING.

I'VE are not going to ask for the
1913 session of the National Baptist
Convention. We have our time set,
however, when we do hope to enter
tain them once more. We hope it
will not be many years hence" said
Rev. C. H. Clark, pastor of Mt Olive
and chairman of the Publishing
Board, just before leaving for the
scenes of the Convention now in SEES

The same appears to be the senti-
ment of the entire Nashville delega.
ton. Some are not afraid to say
that they want the Convention in
1914. However, those who know say
the pastors will formulate their
plans when they return; then it will
be known what the desire is. AT
any rate, Nashville is not a bidder
for the next years Convention. Most
of the delegates who left favor some
point in the East like Philadelphia
Baltimore or Atlantic City.

The State fair stands for education
in every department. In the Wom-

What does it mean to the farmer
Agriculture stands out pre-eminent
