Interesting services
At first Baptist Church Last
Sunday?Gathering of
All Denominations.
Sunday morning the formal opening
of the new Baptist church ediliec
was propitious. The auditorium
and Sabhath school rooms were
filled to the utmost capacity and the
aisles were supplied with several
hundred chairs. It is estimated
that there was a thousand people in
the building. At the hour for beginning
of the service, Rev. L. M.
Rice, pastor, announced to the assembly
that he very much regretted
to disappoint those who had gathered
there to hear Dr. Pot eat, but
that owing to the fact that Dr.
Potcat was on the wrecked train
near the city of Greenville, which
accident occurred on Saturday
morning, made it impossible for
Dr. Potcat to lie here. That although
Dr. Poteat was not among
the injured passengers, he was the
host proper of the Ogden party
composing the conference for education,
consequently had to remain
in Greenville. Mr. Rice said that
he prevailed upon Dr. T. M. Bailey,
socretary of the State Baptist mission
lioard who was here, to take
the place of Dr. Poteat, that he
felt that Dr. Bailey who had been
preaching for 53 years could interest
the congregation. Dr. Bailey
arose and said that he did not propose
to take Dr. Poteat's place, hut
would take his own. His text was

preached a moat excellent and earnest
sermon. At the conclusion of
the services Mr. Rice said he was 1
truly glad to have so many of the <
people of the city and of the coun- i
try present. He was pardonably 1
proud of the house his people had 1
built and felt gratified by so good ]
an attendance as it was an accept- i
ancc of the invitation extended by i
his church to the congregations of (
ithc other churches to worship with i
his people. He then gave a brief (
history of the struggle to build this i
lieautiful edifice, and said we need ]
three thousand dollars to finish pay- I
ing for it, ami I purpose to ask for <
it now, whilo we arc all here to- i
gether. By subscription and money
contributions aliout $2,000 was
raised. In the afternoon at 4 *
o'clock, being tho hour for the j
temperance meeting for men, the I
house was again full. Rev. Thomas 1
Leiteh addressed them on temper- j
anoe, Rev. Poaton awl others <
made a few remarks along this line, i

Iredit to Whom Credit is Due.
While Mr. James Vincent and
Mr. A. W. Cheshire are entitled to
credit for doing good work in savng
the carriage shop of Mr. W. F.
Hughes from burning the night of
Jie burning of Crawford, Aycock <fc
Deavcr livery stable, we add the
tame of Mr. Will Brock, who to
is seemed to do as much or more
jood work to prevent the Hughes
ihop from burning than any one
^Iho except a colored man whose
name we have not learned. Mr.
Brock and the negro man were on
top and all around where danger
jailed and did heroic work until
ill danger had passed.

sried Hannah Plant, of Little Kock,

Arnica Salve. It cured my fearful
running sores, which nothing else
