O RALLY AT UNITY BAPTIST CHURCH Brookport. A Success An Excursion From Metropolis By The Baptist And Methodist Churches, Metropolis. The rally at Brookport, Ill., Sunday July 17th by the Pastor and members of the Unity Baptist church, was a decided success, Pastor J. B.

MASTERSON. ork CANADA'S EXCELLENT FINANCIAL STANDING Bank Clearings Increase—Agriculture Is a Paying Industry—Manufactures Doing Well. "Business experts assert that Canada is on the threshold of perhaps the most prosperous era in her history. The unprecedented value of the farm products of 1915, together with the very large output of factories working on munitions of war has suddenly brought the country into a position, financially, scarcely hoped for as a nation for years to come. Export surplus of $50,000,000 a month is making Canada very strong in cash."—Extract from official bulletin of February 11, 1916. The response by the farmers of Canada to the call for increased production in 1915 was a total net output exceeding one billion dollars, an increase over normal years of at least three hundred millions. The three Prairie Provinces contributed probably nearly one-half of the total product. The wheat crop was worth $310,000,000, and accounted for about 30 percent of the total agricultural product. Other things counted also. Look at dairying. In Ontario the dairy production was increased 20 per cent, and prices were over 10 per cent ahead of 1914. Other provinces shared in the increase, especially Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Nova Scotia. The dairy cow was "on the job" in 1915. So also were the beef cattle, the pigs and the hens. It is not fair to the farmers of the Prairies to call the wheat crop of 1915 a "miracle" crop. The farmers cultivated more land and gave attention to their seed. Providence gave them favorable weather. Then they toiled early and late in the harvesting and threshing. Good cultivation gave bigger yields than careless work, 45 bushels as against 25. The wealth of Western Canada is by no means all in its wheat crop. If the country had no wheat at all it would still be famous as a land of successful farmers on account of its stock production. From one shipping point (High River, Alberta) over $75,000,000 worth of horses have been sold in the last two months. The average price to the farmer has been about $175.00 per head. According to Government returns there are a million and a half horses in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, worth probably $100,000,000. The investments which farmers of Western Canada are making in livestock and farm improvements are good evidence of the fact that they have money for these purposes. It is apparent, however, that they are also spending some of their profits on those things which will bring greater comfort and enjoyment to themselves, their wives and their families. The automobile trade all through the country is particularly active, and farmers are the biggest buyers. A recent report of the Saskatoon district shows that in two months a million dollars' worth of automobiles have been sold, largely to farmers. Nor are all of these cars of the cheaper makes; some high-priced machines are in demand. Bank clearings throughout the Western Provinces show greater commercial activity than at the same season in 1915 or 1914, the increase for the last week of February being $8,000,000 and almost $9,000,000, respectively, for the first week of March $15,000,000 over 1915 and $18,000,000 over 1914. The same excellent story comes from Moose Jaw, Sask., where they showed from 40 to 100 per cent over the previous year. Calgary, Alta., bank clearings continue to reflect the greatly improved business conditions as compared with a year ago. Canada's bank clearings for the month of February, 1916, were the greatest for any February in the country's history. The totals amounted to $664,222,000,000, as compared with $487,296,000,000 for the same month a year ago. An increase of $177,000,000,000 in bank clearings for the month tells its own story of the country's prosperity.—Advertisement. A wise man never murmurs.

Out of a dingy, home-made laboratory in the congested apartment house district of San Francisco has come the announcement of the discovery of a process for the manufacture of aniline dyes which, it is claimed, is equal in every respect to those which have enabled Germany to hold the markets of the world for so many years. The man who claims to have discovered the secret for which so many have been seeking is Louis H. Eilken, a young chemist who ten years ago was employed in the Bleibrich Dye works in Germany. There, as in all other dye factories in Germany, the secret processes upon which the great dye manufacturing business of Germany was founded were closely guarded. Since coming to America the young chemist has spent every waking hour in his little laboratory striving to discover the secret formulas which have baffled scientists all over the world. At last, he claims, success has crowned his labors. IT KEEPS EDDIE COLLINS BUSY CHASING THE JINX Only Watchful Eye of Star Second Sacker Keeps His Club From Meeting Disaster Daily. When it comes to superstition, Eddie Collins has, most of his fellow players beaten by several city blocks, and long ones at that. Collins pulls the stuff right on the ball field before all the people, but not many of them see it. Eddie must have his bat on the end and no other man on the club dares touch that bat. If two bats in the pile happen to get crossed Eddie will instantly straighten them out. If he doesn't see the thing in time some fellow on the other side is almost sure to make a three-base hit. After one of the enemy is retired and the ball is whipped around the infield it always must be returned to him before tossed back to the pitcher. If Eddie doesn't give the ball to the pitcher the enemy is liable to bat in six runs. When he starts to dress for the game he removes his street hat first J Eddie Collins. and immediately puts on his baseball cap. Failure to do so would mean he wouldn't get any hits that day. If he goes three times and doesn't get a hit he touches each one of the players on the bench with his but before going up the fourth time. He did that in Chicago the other day and got a triple. When he goes to bat he takes his chewing gum out of his mouth and sticks it on the button of his cap. When two strikes are called on him he removes the gum from his cap to his mouth, otherwise he would fan. In dressing in his street clothes after the game is over he puts on all his things, including collar, tie, hat and coat, before he puts on his trousers. Failure to observe this rule would mean loss of the game the next day. Eddie studied his psychology at Columbia university before he thought of being a ball player. Yet there are many who think he learned the national game under Connie Mack. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL. employed in the Biebrich Dye works in Germany.

Well, Here It Is at Last the Telephone "Silencer" for Which the World Has Waited A "silencer" for telephones has been in urgent demand for many years and many inventors have exercised their ingenuity on such devices. The patent office records show that about eighteen of them actually have been patented. Many of these succeeded admirably in the object they sought—namely, to make the voice of the talker inaudible to those around him, but succeeding in that they made the voice inaudible also to the listener at the other end. Furthermore, the telephone company will not permit any device, good or bad, to be attached to its instruments. One of these inventions that effectually silenced the speaker's voice was A PR A PRAYER By J. HORACE LYTLE.

It seems the heart of man gives oftenest the freest before his worldly efforts have been crowned with marked success. The simplest, surest, purest, sincerest truth emanates more often from the cottage from the mansion. Oh, why must the possible good that might accompany success be, almost inevitably, marred and overshadowed by a chilliness creeping around the heart! I have myself worn both overalls and evening dress, and, although I deplore the fact, am compelled to admit that I have never felt quite so free-hearted, nor so much sympathetic charity towards my suffering fellows, while wearing the latter as while wearing the former. Hence, O Lord, I pray for sufficient real strength of character that, whether much fortune visits me or not, I may never forget that the souls making up the multitude in this world are but so many human hearts that can suffer, and therefore that I may always regard it as one of my chiefest duties to make as light as lies within my power the passing through this life for some other fellow. that of Maximillian Well, electrical engineer of New York. When put into actual practice it was found that this so dulled the voice that the listener at the other end could not hear him. And it had the further disadvantage of being attached to the mouthpiece of the telephone. When Mr. Well found his invention impracticable he set to work to overcome both the aforementioned defects. This he has just succeeded in doing with an invention he calls the "privaphone." The man using it cannot be heard by those sitting alongside of him, but he is heard distinctly at the other end of the line. And the instrument is not attached to the telephone, which it does not even touch. Therefore, the telephone company cannot object to its use. The person using the privaphone puts it to his mouth and talks into it in the usual way, holding it directly forward and a few inches away from the telephone mouthpiece, says the New York World. His voice is maudible a foot away, but the telephone pleks it up and transmits it clearly as if he were talking directly into it. The instrument is so small that it can be carried in the pocket, enabling every person to have his individual mouthpiece that is unused by anyone else and that can be used with any telephone, thus making not merely for privacy, but for sanitation. Mother's Choice Most Often Proves Best Mother's Choice Most Often Proves Best By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY. O child, some day you'll think of me When I am far, far from thee It is not every girl who has the choice of a baker's half dozen of sweethearts. The girl's choice usually falls upon the young man her mother likes the least, mother's choice being the man who does not appeal to the girl. While it is true that the youthful heart should have a certain amount of leeway, it is truer still that mother's opinion should have great weight in influencing a girl to make a careful choice. A mother has traveled the road of experience. She looks deeper than the handsome face or smooth, gibb tongue. She looks down into the very heart of man. Ardent words make no impression upon the mother. It is a man's acts which bear weight with her. Girls in their teens often imagine that they are in love with a man when, as a matter of fact, they are only fascinated by him. A mother knows this phase of girl life and does not feel unduly alarmed, realizing it will be, like the first flower of spring, the first to perish, to give place to a stronger, lasting flower on that stem. Few young men can wholly deceive a careful mother as to their disposition, good or bad, their character, habits of indolence or thrift, whether they are really in love or are trifers. If mother forms a dislike to a daughter's would-be suitor, he should make every effort to overcome her objection ere pressing his suit farther with the girl. To attempt to win the young woman in the face of parental disapproval is blazing the way on a road which will prove hard travelling. No one in this world has a daughter's interest more deeply at heart than a mother. She would rather give her child to a man of sterling worth whose honor was untarnished, who scorned falsehoods and whom she could trust, though he had only will power and his brain and strong two hands to work for the woman he loved for fame and fortune, than to a profligate, though he was rolling in wealth, realizing that such a union could result in nothing but misery for her daughter. In rare instances a mother may make a mistake in choosing the man to whom she would resign her jewel, but such instances are few and far between. A good daughter should be thankful to have the benefit of a mother's judgment and give the young man she selects from many competitors for her favor careful consideration. A mother feels intuitively when her child is in danger, and there is no danger so grave, nothing in all life's calendar of woes so pitiful, as choosing the wrong man for a husband—defiantly wedding the man mother cannot be won over to like. Mother likes the right one. AYER he is pleased to term "good fortune" too often the best qualities of the servant, or altogether die. It seems the freest before his worldly efforts and success. The simplest, surest, more often from the cottage than must the possible good that might vitably, marred and overshadowed the heart! I have myself worn both although I deplore the fact, am never felt quite so free-hearted, nor awards my suffering fellows, while being the former. Hence, O Lord, a of character that, whether much never forget that the souls making are but so many human hearts that may always regard it as one of my lies within my power the passer fellow. The principle upon which this instrument works cannot yet be told, as Mr. Well has only just applied for a patent. POULTRY HINTS H. L. Kempster, Missouri College of Agriculture. Sour milk is valuable in any ration. Summer shade insures thrifty chicks. Remove overactive cockerels to a separate yard. Clean up the incubator, remove the lamp and throw away the wick. Soft, fresh dirt is an insurance against leg weakness in chicks. Add to the grain feeds with a mixture such as bran, shorts and cornmeal. Do not keep unnecessary male birds. An extra hen eats no more and may lay eggs. When range is limited spade up the runs or move the brood coop a short distance daily. Spoiled or decaying flesh, if eaten, will surely cause limber neck. Burn or bury the dead. Watch for head lice on the chicks. If found, rub top of head with a small piece of lard free from salt. GOT PRIZED STOVE ESKIMO EARNED POSSESSION DEAREST TO HIS HEART. Big Steel Ship's Range Subject of His Adoration—His Igloo Now Easily the Warmest in All the Terri- Penaski was an old Eskimo who ruled in feudal fashion a little settlement about 30 miles away, between our winter quarters and Port Clarence. He had a wild yearning to possess our stove. It was a big steel ship's range that weighed 400 pounds, which, by infinite labor, we had brought up the Cruz-ga-ma-pa river by flatboat. When you consider that the Eskimo gets along with one fire a day in the middle of the dirt floor of his hut, the smoke of which goes out through a hole in the roof, and the rest of the time relies on hermetic sealing and animal heat, you will see that it was a noble and worthy desire. Furthermore, Penaski knew an Eskimo down the coast toward Nome who boasted of owning a little cast iron heater; he wanted to outshine that fellow. Penaski was rich according to his own standards. He had a home-made still made of a coal-oil can and a gun barrel, in which he made "tunguk" from a mash of flour or rice. That he sold to his neighbors at a large profit. He had four wives, a good dog team and plenty of furs and fish. When the end of winter drew near the stove became an embarrassment to us. Our claims lay 60 miles farther inland, and it was hard to get provisions in to them. If we carried our big range over we might not be able to take anything to cook on it. We approached Penaski on the matter. After some negotiation he agreed to earn the stove by transporting seven loads of provisions over the divide by dog sled. Bright and early the next morning there was a howling of dogs and a chatter of voices, and into our camp came all the inhabitants and dogs of the little village. They loaded up and started, 50 pounds to the dog. The trip was a weary one to me, but to the Eskimos, gorging on our grub, it was a glorious picnic. They would travel only as fast as I would lead. The slower we went the better they liked it. We had to break trail by snowshoes, and I led the way. By the second night I was worn out. So was Penaski; but at every stop he would come up and start an eager jargon. He would hold his hands five feet apart. I would nod. Then he would indicate the height and breadth of the stove with his hands. I would reassure him, and he would start off with fresh vigor. The third day was like a nightmare to me. I was dazed with fatigue. Every time we stopped to rest I threw myself down on a sled, seeing nothing, hearing nothing, knowing nothing. Every time we started again I moved stiffly, like an automaton. About midday we reached our goal, unloaded and started back. We returned light and quickly. On the fourth day we pulled into camp in the half light of midnight. Penaski demanded instant payment. We dumped the fire into the snow and delivered the goods. The Eskimo lashed two sleds together, hitched on all the dogs, loaded on the hot stove and started off, howling and shouting, for their village, 30 miles away. The last we saw of our mammoth cooker it was taking a flying leap down a ten-foot bank, and dragging all the Elkimos with it. Alaska Joe was over that way the next winter. He told me that Penaaki's igloo is the warmest in all Alaska, and that the Eskimo slts day and night with his aged limbs crossed and his rheumey eyes half shut, adoring his stove—Chicago News. Perhaps nothing could better illustrate the difficult nature of Persia as regards military operations than the knowledge of the extreme measures that have to be adopted for the conservation of water over a large part of the region in which the Turks, Russians and even a considerable portion of Persians are now in conflict. The Caspian watershed of Persia is fairly well watered and wooded, but all the region south of about the latitude of Teheran—the central and southern zones—are almost absolute desert, the largest cities being near the base of the mountains, where the rivers have not had time to be absorbed in the burning sands. At other points there are occasional wells and springs, but the principal sources of water in these desert regions are the strange cisterns. Stone conduits carry water from the mountains to the cisterns on the desert plains.—Popular Science Monthly. The Swiss Post Office. The Swiss post office saves its old stamps, and this month it offers 10,000 used copies of the current high value Swiss stamps, 3, 5, and 10 francs, for sale. Last year a similar offer to the trade was realized. The three denominations are offered at 10d per stamp in what is styled "first quality," and 7d per stamp in the second quality, or 2s 6d and 1s 8d the set of three. The first quality stamps were only used on dockets, etc., which never left the post office; while the second kind were used in the mails. The stamps are only supplied to the Swiss dealers, but British dealers can obtain them from the Swiss trade at a small commission of these prices. To Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. Women who are well often ask "Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?" "Are they truthful?" "Why do women write such letters?" In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it. The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female illis, from displacements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.

The use to which an article is put and not the nature of the article determines whether such article is a dangerous and deadly weapon under a ruling by Judge Keogh of the city court of Norwalk, Conn. In a recent criminal action the defendant was charged with having struck the complaint with a cylindrical block of wood six inches long and three inches in diameter. The prosecution claimed that such block was "a dangerous and deadly weapon" within the meaning of the Connecticut criminal code, but Judge Keogh decided otherwise, declaring that if the prosecution's claim was true a feather duster used "to tickle a man to death" would also be a dangerous and deadly weapon.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The Negro is coming to be one of the great assets of Southern industrial life, according to a report brought from Kentucky to the convention of the National Association of Manufacturers held recently at the Waldorf-Astoria. It was brought by Frank D. Rash of the Kentucky Manufacturers' association, who, although a manufacturer, gave the convention a treat in old-time oratory as good as if he did nothing else for a living. "No longer," said Mr. Rash, "does the gallant, bewhiskered southern colonel surround himself with cupbearers and lounge on the broad yeranda of his colonial mansion, all the while sipping the seductive mint julep from the frosted cup of silver. And though the Kentucky colonel still lives, you will now see him donning cap and overalls and leading the forces of industry in bringing Kentucky's marvelous mineral wealth to the use of mankind, or yet, perhaps, as the executive directing his staff in any one of the many manufacturing enterprises springing up within the borders of the commonwealth. "Much has been written and said concerning a so-called Negro problem—a great part of this at long distance; and it may be that the first-hand experiences and observations of a southerner may be of some interest to you. As respects the completeness of the information of many writers on this subject, the average southerner cannot avoid regarding some statements as did the two old Irish ladies. The archbishop had preached a fine sermon on married life and its beauties. The two old ladies, both with figures and families of ample proportions, were heard coming out of church commenting on the address. "'Tis a fine sermon his riverence would be after givin' us,' said one to the other. 'It is, indade,' was the reply; 'and I wish I knew as little about the matter as he does.' "In expressing the belief that Negro labor is one of the greatest assets of southern industry it is devoutly to be hoped that such expression will not be considered in the light of an attempt to point out any commercial advantage of one section of the country, but rather a desire to present the iden of the thoughtful southerner of today and to pay just tribute to the worthy southern Negro. "That remarkable man, Booker T. Washington, pointed out to the people of his race that their only hope lay in work, hard work and efficient work in the fields, the forests, the factories, and the mines, in the industrial school, and in the college and in the professions, and to that end never ceased his call to service. You will recall his wonderful address at the opening of the cotton states exposition in Atlanta in 1895, which did more than any public utterance of any man to temper suspicion and race hatred and to bring about a better understanding in the South, and while the Utopian state in this understanding has not been reached and may never be, yet, nevertheless, we are day by day and year by year approaching Booker T. Washington's dream for the South. "Having had opportunity to observe the application of the industrial principles Booker T. Washington laid down for the southern Negro, or, as to that, for all peoples, it is gratifying to bear testimony to the correctness of those ideas, if such testimony were needed, and in which the best thought of the South will join." An impressive illustration of affection felt for the faithful "war-time" Negro by the whites of this part of the South occurred near Demopolis, in the heart of the "Black belt" of Alabama, recently, says the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald, when the body of Ben Coleman, an old Negro bodyguard of members of the Coleman family, was tenderly borne to the grave by six prominent white citizens, all sons of Confederate veterans, and laid to rest in the Coleman family cemetery in a grave piled high with choicest floral tributes. More than 100 prominent men and women attended the burial. Many of them wept over the old Negro's casket, and the highest tributes of affection were paid the memory of the ex-slave. Ben lived on the Coleman place before the war between the states. When "the conflict opened he entered the Confederate service as bodyguard to Capt. Crusie Coleman. For four years he was faithful to his master, and several times served in the ranks. When Captain Coleman was desperately wounded the Negro slave carried General Judenitch, who has commanded the Russian army against Turkey from the beginning, and to whom may be given the credit for the fall of Erzuerz and Bittls, belongs to the younger school of Russian commanders, though he had experience in the Japanese war, where he took part in the abortive attempt at relieving Port-Arthur. He was a pupil of the military lyceum at Petrograd and entered the corps de pages, from which he joined his regiment, the Imperial guard, one of the corps d'élite. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL How does a colored man handle his own people? To answer this question, so far as Captain Washington is concerned, is to say that here is a man who is ready to explain to the boys why it is necessary for them to obey certain rules; here is a friend and adviser, who, with all his kindness, cannot easily be hoodwinked; here is an administrative officer who is willing to explain with calmness what is what and is then prepared to insist that boys must do their part to maintain high standards. Captain Washington is, indeed, a "big brother" to the 500 Negro and Indian boys who are being trained at Hampton for school teaching, farming, and mechanical industries. He is friendly but emphatic in his administration of discipline. He is willing to put the facts squarely to boys and expects them to do their best. Even when he has to send away an occasional boy, he gives the best kind of advice and has in this way started many boys on a higher path. Allen Washington's career is typical of thousands of Negroes, who, during 50 years of freedom, have emerged from a very simple life to take their places in a complex civilization. As an officer of the Hampton school, Captain Washington has taken part in many educational and financial meetings which have been held to create new interests in Negro education. He has traveled far and wide, speaking on behalf of Hampton and the ideas of education for which Hampton stands. He knows the South and conditions which his people face. He was one of Doctor Washington's close friends and associates. He has taken an active part in the constructive work of several Negro organizations which aim to promote race relations. Captain Washington is treasurer of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, which is carrying to more than 300,000 Negroes the message of "better health, better schools, better farms and better homes," and financial secretary of the Hampton Institute Alumni association. He is also president of the Sumner Literary society, which is composed of colored men and women who make a serious study of the best literature. Captain Washington has received instruction from some of the best United States army officers who have been stationed at Fort Monroe. He is a thorough drillmaster and tactician. He believes in his own race, as well as in white people. He preaches the doctrine of success through struggle to the boys under his charge. Whether as a farmer, an oysterman, a harnessmaker, a disciplinarian or a trusted officer in some Negro organization, Allen Washington has always retained his native simplicity of speech, sincerity and spirit of racial good will. It is to men of the type of Booker T. Washington, Robert R. Moton and Allen Washington that more and more people are looking today for helpful suggestions relating to the race problem.—New York Times. A recently invented substitute for rubber tires which can be attached to any automobile wheel consists of two concentric metal rings between which are clusters of springs. A window that a Frenchman has patented consists of a number of pivoted sections which may be moved to any desired angle by pulling a chain. him on his back from the battlefield to a place of safety and nursed him back to life. When the war was over Ben returned to the old plantation and declared he didn't want any freedom. He was given land to work and was provided for when there was a crop failure. To Ben was given the honor in the stirring days following the war that no other Negro in the South enjoyed. It was a knowledge of the workings of the Ku-Klux Klan. It first came about through accidental knowledge the Negro had acquired, and afterward from the necessity to trust some Negro with certain information. A novel French heater for rooms consists of a carpet in which are woven wires to take current from a light socket and distribute the electric heat evenly.

Three-fifths of the people of Portugal are engaged in agriculture. The Farmer: Think of the possibilities of selling produce by the means of typewritten letters sent out to customers? Typewritten letters give the sender a business standing with the people who receive them and also enable the keeping of carbon copies of the correspondence, which many times does away with misunderstandings and lawsuits. The General Store Merchant: More prompt and courteous treatment is likely to be accorded his orders and correspondence with the City jobber and manufacturer if his letters are typewritten. In The Home: The boy or girl who is intending to follow a business career can secure no better start than a knowledge of typewriter operating. Children who learn to use the typewriter learn spelling at the same time. The housewife finds it a great convenience in writing recipes and for general correspondence. The Minister: No Clergyman should be without a typewriter. It is of great assistance in preparing sermons and writing the many letters that a pastor has to write.

Maude Lee. Clerk. HODGES PARK Having been informed that the Association will meet at Colps. Of the additional expense of said meeting I wish to say to the sisters of the Mt. Olive W. E. & M. Convention that we will have to get busy. We hope that each pastor in the District will encourage the women of their several churches to take interest in the work as we cannot know until the annual meeting what the committee on cation will do. Let us come up to the meeting praying for success and stand together as a unit. For together we stand and divided we fall. I am praying that we will be united in oneness with one purpose and we can look with pride on a building erected in name The Livingston Normal Industrial Institute in the near future. Let us not lag in the work on the account of small obstacles but perseverance till the end if we do not work we cannot reap. What we sow we shall reap, and whatever we mete out shall be meted to us. Yours for success. M. J. Blake. President. Read Krebs Clothing Co.'s and this week and then hurry up to make a purchase. We would like for our people to give them your patronage because they advertise in a Race Journal. --- NOTICE Notice Dear Sir and Brother, allow me space in your paper to say that I had a letter from Rev. Hillie stating that the Association could not meet at the 17th St. Baptist church at Murphysboro as they were not able to entertain the Association; therefore I shall have to change the place of meeting and will let you know later where it will meet. As the Association authorized me to change the date of the meeting of the Association so as to keep it from conflicting with the National Baptist Convention. Therefore I set Sept. 19, for the setting of the Mt, Olive Baptist Association. This will give all the Bros, a chance to go to the National Baptist Convention; if any Bro. in the district has any objection to this change let me know through the columns of this paper. Please give all the churches notice of the change. Yours in Christ. Dear Sisters: the time is fast approaching for the State Association that was organized at Centralia last year and the president is asking all local societies in the churches of each District to represent at this meeting and we hope to have a good representation from the Mt. Olive district. I have not heard from our missionary and dont know whether she has been able to visit any of the churches or not, but my dears we should not let our banner trail in the dust. We should hold up the standard of the Baptist every where. I am settled at home for awhile, but I am going to work in this part of the field, as the work is somewhat dull at present, but we have a lively set of B. Y. P. U. workers. They are doing real good work and I hope to be able to say the same of the W. E. & M. Society Remember the State work is calling for you in May and will convene with the Sparta Church. The fee for the Distriet is $5.00 and local $2.50. The women will meet on Friday and I hope that each president will send me their address so they can receive their letter blanks. I also have constitutions on hand; any local desiring them may write me. I also ask that each local put out small bags and let each member solicit $1.00 for the Educational Cause. Remember we should work while we live. We have lost a Christian Man and the Pres. of the Livingston Normal, in the person of the late Rev. J. H. Knowles, so let us close up the Rank and press forward.
