Pleasant Baptist church Golconda, Illinois, on Thursday before the 2nd Sunday in November 1915. All members and constituents are invited and specially requested to be present. Program follows or rather I had in mind to say to all the ministers composing the association, that you are members of the board and are expected to attend to help to make the Board Meeting a success. Our opportunities for doing good in the cause of Christ on the mission field is better than ever before, so let us play well our part while the opportunity prevails. It is said that success comes to them that wait; there is an important word left out and that word is work or labor, success comes to them that labor and wait. Now brethren, you have four weeks to prepare for that meeting please arrange your business to be present, and if you find that you cannot be present, remember that it is an expense to them that to attend, and since we are attending to your business by your order, remember the request of the association, that those who could not attend would send up one dollar to help take care of the expenses of the board, we are expecting you to keep your word. I hope no communication will come up to the board saying that I am in a meeting and cannot be present, for the work of your district in its sphere is just as important as your Church work is in its spere, and I am praying that the Ministry of our district will soon come to see it that way W.

CORNER STONE LAYING OF the UNITY MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH. The 5th Sunday in Oct. 1915. On the 5th Sunday in Oct. the Corner Stone of the new brick building of the Unity Missionary Baptist church will be laid in the afternoon. Watch for bills later and prepare to attend this occasion. Metropolis. On Sunday Oct 17th, I, visited the First Baptist S. S. and B. Y. P. U. of Metropolis. At 10:00 oclock the Supt. called the school to order with fair attendance. I reviewed the school and found the pupils very well versed in scripture The school is not just what it should be but promises to be better by more interest being manifested by the Supt. The school lifted a collection of .57 by motion it was adopted to take .43 from the Treas. and make the collection $1.00 for the Missionary. At 6:00 p. m. I was found in my pew at the B. Y. P. U. This B. Y. P. U. is doing a great work, all large crowds attended. We enjoyed a short but interesting program, Mrs. G. E. Masterson read a paper, subj. "True Womanhood" this was a good paper full of truth and logic. I addressed the union before a large audience. The District President was in the chair, in the absence of Mrs. Bessie Cork who was called to St. Louis Mo. on business. This promises to be the best Union in the district; we are glad to see the Young people interested. The B. Y. P. U. collected $1 55, a motion prevailed to take .45 out of the treasury and make the collection $2 00, by a mistake the collection was $2 05. Total collection for the Missionary $3.05, for which we thank the good people. The Improvident Ones.

Dear Sisters of the above mention Association or any other regular Baptist in the state. This letter is given out in the columns of this papet to remind you of the important work before us. I have mailed a number of letters to the different circles that were mailed to me by the president Sister Bettie Wilkerson, of Mt. Vernon, Ill., who is very anxious to see the work advance. Let us see to it that after the meeting of the General State Ass'n which meet with the Sparta Baptist church, on Tuesday before the 2nd Sunday in May '16 that it out all meetings of the women than has ever been held, Our President has suggested that each and every sister secure a little sack or pouch and contribute to that from time to time so as to make the sum of $100 by the Ass'n time and in this way we can easily reach the $700 00 mark. Dear Sisters, let us think not to say, what will be done with the money, but let us pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of all that everyone may contribute liberally to his cause. We have in mind the long talked Old Ministers Home. We had a very pleasant meeting with the 2nd Baptist church Centralia, last May, the meeting closed with a bright prospect for our 1916 session. It to be regretted that we have not been able to send the minutes of the Ass'n to the churches before now. The fault is not on the part of the corresponding sec'y, we have had our manuscript ready for the press for quite awhile. We have been informed by the chairman of the printing committee, Eld. C. C. Phillips, that the recording sec'y D. P. Jones, of Chicago, has not sent the manuscript to the corresponding sec'y W. P. Washington, of Mt. Vernon. Our work was done long before the expiration of the 40 days that was given the committee. It is true the churches and the circles are due the minutes, but dear sisters let us not be a bearer let us rise and be doing. Mrs. Bettie Wilkerson. President.

Pressed glass was invented by an humble carpenter of Sandwich, Glass, but in the primitive state of affairs it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Bohemian glass-maker conceived the idea of making cut glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working thicker than he was wont so that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figures as he chose. Daily Health Hint. Understand that if you are mentally unified with si. tness, old age and death, no amount of desire or affirmation can make you well, young, or long lived. To be healthy, you must be mentally in unity with health; to remain young, you must be mentally one with youth, and to live long, you must be mentally unified with life, says Wallace D.

We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of introducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the fardious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed counterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children's medicines.

Ther was once a rich but very mean old lady, says Answers, who paid her servants as little as possible, and kept very few. One of her staff was a thin, miserable-looking lad of twelve, who answered the door, did the knives and the windows, waited at table, weeded the garden, washed the poole, and had the rest of the time to himself. One visitor asked him: "Well, my boy, and what do you do here?" "I do a butler and a gardener out of a job!" snapped the lad sourry. Well Put. Once in a while, when small children are witnesses in court, they have an original way of framing their answers to questions put to them by the attorneys, says the Boston Post. The other day a little girl in the divorce court was asked: "How do you know that this statement is true?" "Why, my papa told me so," instantly replied the little girl. "And do you always answer your stepmother politely, no matter what she says to you, as your father told you to do?" "No," said the small witness, and after a brief pause she added: "My heart did not bring forth the words." ```markdown ``` Evidently Well Gared For. During the progress of the morning bath of a few months' old infant a neighbor's little girl came into the room carrying a doll, and stood watching the operation for some time. The little girl's doll was much the worse for hard usage, being minus an arm and a leg. Finally she said to the mother of the child: "How long have you had your baby?" The child was informed, and, looking from her doll to the baby, she said: "My, but you have kept it nice!" The Ones "Do you know any class which approves the recall?" "Oh, yes; actors."

"Yes, sir," instantly exclaimed a raw recruit; "the beef an' bacon in this ere Irish 'ash ain't fit for the likes of us to eat, an' I wish to report it." The doctor was sent for to inspect the food. "So you think this meat isn't fit for a man in your position to eat?" said he. "Allow me to tell you that greater men than ever you will be have eaten it. Even the commander in chief wasn't above eating it in the Crimea, and made many a hearty meal of it." "Oh, did 'e?' said our over-nice recruit. "Yes, he did," replied the surgeon. "Oh, well," retorted the man. "It was all very well for the commander in chief, 'cause the meat would be fresh an' good then. You see, sir. It's a long time since that 'ere Crimea job, and it can't be expected to keep good all these years." On the Water Wagon. The alfalfa delegate was paying his first visit to a city of any size. Standing on the sidewalk he chanced to see a sprinkling cart coming down the street, and no sooner had he set eyes on the thing than he began to laugh like a boy at a minstrel show.

ILL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The Hampton institute press service offers some interesting information concerning Titustown, a prosperous Negro community, which lies on the southern side of Hampton Roads, midway between Ocean View and Norfolk. At Titustown it is possible for a colored man to build an attractive and comfortable detached house, on a lot 35 by 110 feet, for $500. For $1,500 he can build and own a house of seven rooms. He is favored also in having a vacant lot left between his house and that of his neighbor. Every family has its full quota of air space. The children are not compelled to play in the streets and road ways. Titustown streets are straight, well graded, and bordered with trees, shrubs, and plants. To the people the rural free delivery brings the news of the outside world. It is said, on good authority, too, that every Negro in Titustown gets and reads a daily paper. Some Negroes buy and read two daily papers. "To millions of black folks, even now," says the institute's report, "this would seem ultra modern. To some it may seem strange and even dangerous that Negroes should be so up and coming, but the truth is that in proportion as Negroes get knowledge based on experience and have their wants increased, they settle down to habits of thrift and industry. This is what has happened to the Negroes of Titustown. They have enjoyed rare opportunities. They have had plenty of work to do-work on the rich trucking lands, in the United States navy yard at Portsmouth, on the great coal piers at Sewell's and Lamber's point, and on the estates of wealthy Norfolk business and professional men. They have also received good wages. "The church at Titustown—the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church—is a fine structure. It was recently built at a cost of $12,000 and has a membership of 1,500 persons. For long, long distances colored people come to attend this church and discuss problems of lively civic interest. "In Titustown the church is strong and very attractive, but the school is also strong and fully as substantial. If less outwardly attractive. The county school board spent $5,000 on the Titustown school, which is a brick, fourroom building so constructed that another story may easily be added. Some 250 children are enrolled and the average attendance is very satisfactory. The children in Titustown school have good teachers and a term of seven months. They are clean, happy and alert. They are physically well set up, and show the good results of careful home training. The Titustown mothers find it possible to remain at home and care for their children instead of eking out a meager living over the washtub. The school equipment is good and is being steadily improved. The county manual training teacher has been able to make, with the assistance of the boys, some useful articles of school furniture. The school playground of three-quarters of an acre is kept clear of weeds and trash. A plot of two acres has been reserved for a public park. It is important that in any scheme for community building some provision should be made for recreational activities. One of the crying needs of Negro country life is healthful recreation." A caterpillar's eyes can see nothing at a distance beyond two-fifths of an inch. The students at Tuskegee are quoting with enthusiasm the following statement from a recent census bulletin: "Farming in the South is passing into the hands of the black man. In the last ten-year census period the number of acres occupied by whites actually decreased; the negro acreage increased. "The proportion of whites engaged in farming decreased; the proportion of Negroes increased. Ownership of farms by whites increased 12 per cent; by Negroes, 17 per cent. Among the whites the increase in farm tenants men who do not own the land they work—was 27 per cent; among the Negroes it was but 21 per cent. "The total number of white farmers working not their own but another man's land increased 188,000; the total number of Negro farmers working another man's land increased 118,000." With wireless stations powerful enough to reach vessels in all Chinese water, the government of that nation will establish a typhoon warning service. The ways of the law are sometimes like those of a heathen Chinese. A New York policeman, on whom three bulldogs were "sicked." had the "sicker" arrested for violating the sanitary code. It provides that canines must be muzzled. The sound of the military rifle bullet, traveling at 1,500 feet a second, is like that of a long blacksnake whip, violently cracked. However, the bullet beats the sound, and if a man struck by one hears a cracking it is from some other missile. The fifty-third anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln was celebrated by the National Emancipation Commemorative society at Mount Carmel Baptist church, Washington. Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation September 22, 1862. Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, was the principal speaker at the celebration, and congratulated the colored people of the country upon the progress made by them since their emancipation. He commended the society for having adopted September 22 as the day for the general observance and celebration throughout the country of the issuance of the proclamation by Lincoln. "England and France," said he, "were on the eve of recognizing the southern confederacy as they were in need of cotton, and would have done so had not President Lincoln issued this, preliminary proclamation, just when he did, threatening to forever abolish slavery in the cotton producing states should those states refuse to lay down their arms and come back into the Union. Not only should this day be celebrated by the colored people, but the people of all races throughout the country ought to unite in celebrating the anniversary of an event that was the first step calculated to making the Declaration of Independence a living verity." Prof. Jesse Lawson in opening the celebration commended the colored people for their loyalty to country and flag, and urged the establishment of a chair in patriotism in American universities and institutions of learning in every section of the country. H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the house, said that the abolition of Negro slavery in the United States gave freedom, in part, to all of the people in the country. Rev. W. A. Taylor of the Florida Avenue Baptist church, and N. W. Magowan, chairman of the ways and means committee of the commemorative society, also delivered addresses. The society adopted resolutions recommending to the colored people of the country that they set apart September 22 of each year for a celebration of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation. The resolutions declared that no class of citizens in America will long suffer injustice because of the spirit of fair play of the American people and called attention to the recent decision of the Supreme court of the United States holding unconstitutional the "grandfather clause" of the constitutions of some of the states by which colored voters were discriminated against. The resolutions provided for the appointment of a committee of 100 by the president of the society to make all necessary arrangements for the congress of colored Americans to be held in Washington next year, and recommended to the colored people of the country that they take steps to participate in the national exposition of colored Americans to be held in Washington in 1920. The weather affects man in more ways, it appears, than many suspect. For example, it is believed that pressure variation due to fluctuating winds has peculiar pathological effects, that certain electrical conditions of the air induced by low atmospheric pressure have a pathological effect on nervous subjects and that solar radiation has peculiar effects which vary according to the season. A New Yorker left in his will a provision that loaves of bread stamped with his name should be given to the poor and that the will should be published in five papers. Heirs have tried to break the last provision on grounds of eccentricity, but the court has said it must be done. Two thousand persons appeared in silk at Paterson, N. J., recently at a parade to boom Paterson looms, hosiers, gowns, suits and in some cases, among the men, even hats were of that material. This is progress made toward fixing the high cost of living. The tuna, which until within a few years was known only as one of the greatest of game fish, is now the basis of an extensive canning industry. It is predicted that 1,000,000 cans of it will be garnered this year on the Pacific coast. The Philippine islands produce approximately 10,000,000 gallons of alcohol yearly. About all of this is made from the sap of the nipa palm that grows in great abundance in various swamps of the country. A long and high English railroad bridge is equipped with automatic wind gauges, which set danger signals against trains should the wind blow at a dangerous velocity. A Bath (Me.) man recently received notice from the United States patent office that a patent for which he filed an application seven years ago had been granted. By reconstructing some parts an English railroad is using for light work a locomotive built in 1847. Sick Women Attention Is it possible there is a woman in this country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evidence that is continually being published, which proves beyond contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffering among women than any other one medicine in the world? We have published in the newspapers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine for women—and every year we publish many new testimonials, all genuine and true. Here are three never before published: From Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I. PROVIDENCE, R. I.—"For the benefit of women who suffer as I have done I wish to state what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I did some heavy lifting and the doctor said it caused a displacement. I have always been weak and I overworked after my baby was born and inflammation set in, then nervous prostration, from which I did not recover until I had taken Lydia E.

As for Vera, she had decided to go ‘West and claim possession of the old Goldea Eagle mine, whieh her father had left in trust for her. The western trustee was his old friend, Anthony Burgess, and it was through Anthony Burgess that Vera recdived the semi- annual dividends which now constitut- ed her sole income. “But, my dear child,” protested Mrs Hendrick tearfully, “you can't go out there alone!
