Iattended the Wayne County Bap-
fist Association at Beulah church Sun
day. 1t was the largest crowd of peo-
pie I have seen for many years. Din
ner on the ground and everybody
seemed happy. Wayne County AS
sociation comprises 80 churches; %
were represented by messengers and
eight by letter. The Association has
gained 1888 members the past twelve
months. Rev. Alternately is the mis-
sionary preacher; 81 were converted
in different churches under his preach
ing. Bro. Alternately seems to be the
right man in the right place. May
the Lord bless him in his work the
coming year! Bro. Truck of st. Louis
was there one day in the interest of
foreign missions. Mrs. Milford Riggs
from Ironton was in attendance one
day.
Rev. W. W. Strother taught our
Sunday School bible class last Sun
day. He gave us a very interesting
talk about the Cinnamon in the west;
how they r taught in Sunday School
and how they live. But we will not
have Bro. Strother with us much lon
ger. AS soon as he finishes the house
on his farm and lows wheat he will
leave us.
We had five inches of rain and farm
ers are now blowing for wheat. The
| corn crop is much better than was
| expected; at least half a crop will be
made on the creeks and uplands, and
T heard a farmer ON st. Francis river
say Sunday that he would make from
forty to fifty bushels to the acre; so
we are not SO bad off, after all.
Graves & Stamp have fifteen men
working on their handle factory; ex-
pect to start October LIST and the plan
er thirty days later, if the weather
does not continue too bad. We are
now getting a down-pour of rain. Il
would have been much more appre-
ciated a few weeks ago.
We had a good ermon at the M. E
Church Sunday night by Rev. Stroth'
or. Much interest was manifested
We are in need of a good revival il
Des Arc and with the help of a goot
evangelist Rev. Strother could do
great work here in building up oul
churches.
