J \ Baptist Association, which was held j August 30th-Septtmber 1st at SuN pliur Springs church; and real glad was I of the opportunity, for even though 1 had a smooth and a rough, , a fuuny and au ui funny, and a long j j mrney that made uie tired, and that " 1 got partly lost in, I was more than repail in the particularly good and | nice time I oi.j ycd there; though I ha 1 never attended any meeting at that church before, I was far trom ' being among strangers or people given . to such formalities as to be as stiff as , a new laundried collar. I am vain j enough to believe that 1 have numerous friends in all sections of thj j county, and if vanity it is, 1 am proud 1 that 1 have them, and I know I have them there, it is comforting, for otherwise I would have to get acquainted before I could begin the part of enjoyment. So much for this, t i Myself, Messrs. R. G. A. Jetor and , II L. Baruett started from this place together, and when we got to Union j Mr. D. Wilburn joined us and we a formed a compact to all make the j trip in company. The weather was . hot, so we did not drive fast, and loe- 0 ing two miles taking the wrong road, t we were somewhat late, but we had -] the good fortune to be in time for c ' dinner.

As I said in the beginning, one can see many friends at these kinds i ( of meetings from all parts of the * county, it being kind of reunion, after r | all acquaintances are renewed. I saw c j many there (and formed new ones.) u Tliey were in evidence, and a gralifi- ^ 3 cation to feel the recognition mutual. | , NVo have been talking of hard times t but this was an occasion instrumental t in dispelling gloom.

Mrs. Williams was f i Union county girl, Miss Ella Uibbp, I so with she and her sister Miss Blanche, Loeutertain, I was not with strangers, ' *nd Mr. Williams, a most kind and < jeuerous heat, seemed liko an old sc i piaiutauce. We would trip down to t dio famous spring and enjoy driuking t he water. The second night wo were 1 prevailed upon to partake of the hop- 1 pitality at Mrs. Kennedy's, whore we j aad a most pleasant time a'so. These 1 were a iamny of Doys, like one I know ? it home, and they were each a ho3t, fc ind a visiting young lady there too. c Business was dispatched with ex lediacce on Saturday, the last day. J md by morning was finished up, then 1 jarne the time for all lo enj >y them- i ielve9 the most, being free, but knowng the time for treking homeward s was approaching.

We had an all round i ;ood time, and our thanks are due 1 jverybody, but with a little extra t touching for those specially mentioned n thie. When I left the church sevjral were enjoying some good singing, with Miss Lancaster, the organist, performing on the organ. Aud by tho way I saw B. B. and he waa jast having a "whale" of a fine time.
