The Brunswick and Western ran
the usual special train, but added
several coaches. The train ’ from
Albany carried eight ears, and all
these, including the baggage-car,
were comfortably filled, bringing
about 350 people. A-large number
of these was from Albany. On the
return one ear was filled at Tifton,
and three more at Ty Ty and Sum
ner.
About 2,200 people were assem
bled on the ground after the arrival
of the Tifton train. The exercises
had already begun, but were suspen
ded until the now comers were wel
comed and seated.
Order was called by President T.
R. Perry at 10:00 a. in., and after
prayer by Rev. N. M. Templeton,
and singing, organization was perfect
ed,ami the convention settled down to
business. A common-sense address
on effective work was delivered by
Elder R. K. Walker, of Darien,
which was well rooiovod by the
audience.
Repoits from schools were not as
complete as should have been, but
those reported showed the work to
bo making good progress, and no de
crease in interest and enthusiasm.
At 12:15 a recess of an hour and a
quarter was taken for dinner, and it
would take more than that much
timo to give a fair description of it.
It is on these occasions that the good
old county of Worth unloads her
vast store of good things, and spreads
them to tempt the palate and please
the eye. Plenty and to spare was
there, to fill the crowd to repletion,
and that of the best the Southland
affords.
After dinner, the officers of the
Association mado their reports, and
these contained many valuable sug
gestions for conducting the work, as
well as words of cheer and encour
agement.
These were followed by short but
sometimes eloquent addresses on the
general features of the work.
Then came tha singing contest for
the banner. Five schools entered the
contest: Sylvester, Sumner M. E.,
Poulan, Ty Ty and Pino Forest.
The contest was a close and spirited
one, resulting in a tie between Sum
ner and Poulan Hchools. They were
called upon for another song, after
which the banner wns awarded to
Poulan school, and was delivered by
Elder Walker.
After a few more beautiful songs,
and the transaction of miscellaneous
business, the convention adjourned.

First, get a wife; second, bo patient.
You may have groat trials and perplex

which, though of less magnitude, may ho
