Manning, of Marietta. Tho selection of
Judg- s w as u good one and their decis
k on could not \>e biased either to one
school or another but based alone upon
the merits of each class. The bus.ucM*
part of Association was dispens’d with
in order that contest singing might be
next in order. JaUz Galt, of tlie Bap-
t st School, asked that his School sing
lirst which was a lowed and 15 then
sang beautifully ‘ They ohauted anew
song,’’ Fifteen of tne Canton Metho

‘Over That Jasper Bea.” Fifteen of
Indian Kindi school was next to siu>( :

was Shiloh school and with fheir 14
singers made the church reaouix i with

greatly from the noisy cheers that all
at once admired it. After a short con
sultation of tho judges they unanimously
agreed that Fairvicw, Salacoa, school
had sang the best and were entitled to
the banner and accordingly unanimously
reported to Association by Gen. Phillips
The report waa received with profound
satisfaction. Mr F. B. Chandler then
