the exquisite pleasure of attending the I5nptist
Association on the U8th and Stlth at
liethesdi cliitreh and will say in the oft'-start
that it was the most pleasant and interesting
meetings that I ever attended. Although
the election interfered somewhat the first
day, causing a lateness in the arrival of
delegates an l visitors, it was entirely laid
aside, and the Association progressed
smoothly and pleasantly. There was a very
hard rain the first day. continuing light rain
until night, making it very uuplea?unt for
all going home. Otherwise, the weather
was all that could be desired. I wool I like
to give the proceedings, hut that wi 'I : >nsutne

of course, all of the members intcrclcd
will soon have published minutes. The
same officers were unanimously elected as
follows: Moderator, l>. N. Wilburn ; Ulerk,

In consequence of the late hour?no work
having been done until in the afternoon.?
the introductory sermon, which was to have
been preached by Rev. W. E.G. Humphries,
was dispensed with, it being very necessary
to push work, to get it nil through. All repoits
of standing committees were rend,
ready for discussions, and action the next,
("Jrd) day. Also all of the appointments of
special committees were handed the chairman
of each, i will not here give the committees,
except a special committee of one,

request from the liaptist High School
at \orkviilc, for aid etc., was prescuted, but
no dofinite actions regarding the making of
a pledge web taken. There was much Jis
c
c.ussions on (he milter. Some think tliot
pVcnlunlljr there will be a High ScIkoI in
.very A-socintion, a*id wanted to pledge a
ertnin amount, but wanted it so given that
if this Association shou'd ever found a
similar Institution, the Vorkvi le school
should help here by giving back, from time
to time, the amount pledget. Some opposed
a pledging the churches, nud it was finally
agreed to refer the matter beck to the
churches, for their approval or disapproval
and the clerk's of the churches were appointed
to present it to each individual
church. Hut a resolution was pa?sed inviting
the agent or agents of the Institution
into the branch of the Association to solicit
c mtributions both of money and patronoge,
?this Association realizing the taluc and
importance of such a School.
During the discussion of Bible and Colportage
work there were some strong and
earned appeals, to support it by giving all
encourngetnent possible which is a means of
distributing more religious literature
throughout the country.
After the rea ling of the report ou Foreign
Missions it was not discussed, out Hcv. J,
N. Booth preached the missionary sermon
from Mark 15: 10, ami nil think it was a
most excellent ami forcible one. He made
8 nne strong appeals, and pointed out how
everyone could carry out the command to
"Go ye into all the world," &c., by contributing
the r money.
In closing, the congregation sung, "God
be with you till we met again," and Kev.
J. A. Dell dismissed the congregation with a
most bciutiful and touching prayer, fittingly
suited for the occasion.
A resolution of thanks for the generous
hospita'iiy, ami appreciative entertainment
of the Associa'ion during the session, was
extended the lie'.hesdn church and community.

that they can raise hut few of them, and

finished picking their crop of blackberries
out there. They live in eight of the Cascade

just enough rain to keep crops growing.
There is very litt'e difference between their
Summer and Winter weather there.
The corn crop in ill's section is far ahead
of that of former years. Should no ca'amity
come upon it there will lie an abundance

the minds of our people is finally assured.
L)o not know for certain but think that the

who was active scouring the ionic will
probably be a postmaster in <lie new route
and have ilte postoflice a* or near his house,
there will be another oflioe at l'hilsin in

Cotton picking has c uuncnced in^*sninU
way. Cotton is good, though perhaps not so
good as the large weed might lend one to
expect.
Fodder pulling is s ill going on. Corn is
excellent?better than for years. The lowground
corn will be quite as gcod us the
upland provided no untoward, freshet civets
it with water or sweeps it away.

The county boar I of control met yesterday
afternoon, and it was a lively meeting
or rather the ineiJent at the c ose was lively.
The meeting was held for the purpose
of electing the time local dispensers for the
ensuing ye?r. All of the old dispensers
were candidates for re-election, but the
brard did not seem inclined to elect them.
It seems that it had been reported to Dr.
Folk that Dispenser Knach was running a
bl nd tiger, and Dr. Folk related the charges
to ibe board, which effectually cot off Mr.
Roach's clianclies for r. -election. Of these
charges Mr. Koach did not know, but he
heard of them, and went post hasta to the
meeting of the board, lie was so anxious
to get iu that he nearly broke the door down
before it could be opened for him. About
the first thing that lie uitertd when he got
in, so it is reported, was "it is a d? he,"
and when he cooled down a bit he went on
to explain that lie had heard that it had
been reported to the board that ho was keeping
a blind tigrr. This the board admitted,
but tried to shut him off by saying that they
had already e'ecled a successor, and there
was no need to hear more of it. This did

mnnded the nutlior, and further demnnded
(lint the action of the board in electing his
successor be rcsciudeJ. This tliey finally
conc'udcd to do and the whole matter was
postponed until the 11th inst., when the
three dispensers will be elee'ed.
It is reported that the board had already
elected Mr. Murray Kirk'nnd to succeed
Dispenser Scott, Mr. William Prico to tuccecd
Dispenser lloach, and had re-elected
