BIG CONVENTION
 ID CONVENE HERE
DETAILS ARRANGED FOR CHURCH MEETING OF PRESBYTERIAN
 EFFICIENCY BOARD.
Conference With Business Mems Lea que Officials Held Yesterday Aft ernoon by Church Officials

Martin A. Eisele, of the Business
 Mems Leauge Harry A. Jones, of the
 executive committee of that organi. zaton, and League members, details of the convention of the Efficiency
 Board of the Presbyterian church, which is slated for the last week in September were arranged with J. M. | Patterson, of St Louis secretary Of the executive committee. Rev Dr. C. | E. Hay, one of the Presbyterian off cials for the state of Arkansas, and l Rev. Dr. F. M Wylie, pastor of the Orange Street Presbyterian church Mr. Patterson had made the trip from St. Louis for the special purpose of taking this matter up with the League officials and wah more than pleased with the hearty cooperation that he met with. this convention stated Mr Paterson, will bring to Hot Springs at 2,O00 delegates, and the Presbyterian church will be represent ed from nine southern states. It is one of the largest gatherings of its kind in church work that is held in the Southland, and Memphis and Little Rock are very anxious to secure the gathering, which was obtained for Hot Springs through the efforts of Rev. Dr. Wylie while attending a meeting of the executive in Memphis last week.
 Tt is more than probable that We will be able to secure for our con. yention Hon. William Jennings Bry- an, said Mir. Patterson, and among the others the board will send here will be Robert A. Spear, of New York. who is conceded to be most brilliant speaker and the head of the foreign mission movement. Rev. Dr. Edgar r. Hill, of Chicago, will also be on the list of speakers. We are going to- ask Mr Bryan, who is an elder in the Presbyterian church, to address us n Right Makes Might, which, in view of the present war, will be a most in. terestlng topic for him to discuss"
 This is by no means MT. Patterson s initial visit to Hot Springs, and he felt certain that the delegates will be delighted with their sojourn in this city. Just where the convention will meet las not as yet been decided upon, but this is a question, it was stated, that can be taken up later.
 Members of the League expressed the belief that with the presence of MT. Bryan guaranteed the convention is certain to be a most successful one and that there will be many from all parts of the South who will desire to hear the distinguished Secretary of State. It is also the attention of the League to have special honors shown Mir. Bryan.
 Mir. Patterson stated that he would individually carry on a campaign of advertising with respective churches in the south, but the chief publici- ty work of the convention was left in charge of the Publicity Department of the .eague Local Presbyterians met Mir Patterson at the Como hotel last evening and he assured them that he would do everything possible to make the convention one of the biggest and most successful in the history of the Church Of the Efficiency Beard.

from Frederick !. Dickson in which he
states that tho ship George Gr.swold
wos sunk by a ship flying the British
fag.
Tho ship George 9r;swold was built
by my father and anne after my
grandfather. On her frs; voyage she
took the provisions donated by the
merchants OF New York 10 the starving
people In Lancashire, my fathers sub
scription 90 this good cause being the
full expenses OF tho ship TO Liverpool.
on her return voyage she was CAPTURED
by the Georgia on January 8. 1863, and
Captain Richard Petting,ll was foolish
enough TO bond tho ship for 800. 900.
THIS prevented the ship from being sold.
Had she been destroyed We would have
been able to recover her value from
the Alabama claims court. The ship
was lost the following year on the coast
OF Brazil. i. GRAY Gnrswolp.
