Institute Work at Knoxville.
The white teachers of Crawford 1
county, their commissioner, Mr. J.
E. Hartley, two experts, Rev. Mr.
ix and Dr. Rogers, and eight or
ten Houston county teachers met at
the county court house at Knoxville
June 24th to do general institute
work.
The institute was a success in the
fullest sense of the word. In the
first place, we had two of the best
equipped experts of the state, who
had planned, in detail, as good
course of work, possibly, as was ever
presented to any body of teachers.
In the second place, Crawford’s ex
cellent commissioner had done, and
did do, everything in his power to
make the week a success. And in
the third place,the teachers came to
gether in the true spirit of the en
thusiastic teacher. Experts, com
missioner and teachers put their
whole souls and minds into the
work.
The lecturer of the experts, Mr
Dix, who has been engaged for
quite a number of years in the com
mon schools of the state, gave the
most practical methods of present
ing different subjects of the com
mon school branches; and Dr. Rog
ers, who has also been connected for
quite a while with educational work,
presented some splendid methods,
and also the principled which under-
ly such methods. In addition, the
teachers gave their ideas and meth
ods on certain phases of school
work. This made the work done
practical.
At the close of the last session the
teachers expressed themselves as be-
ing highly benefitted, not only along
the line of methods, but as having
been more fully awakened to a reali
zation of the broad work before
them, and as having received a last-
ifig inspiration that will enable them
to go into their respective fields of
labor with renewed determination
to educate the boys and girls who
are soon to take part in directing
the destiny of our country, aright.
It was indeed a most glorious edu
cational meeting.
I must also mention the unbound
ed hospitality of the people of Knox
ville. Never was a body of teachers
more highly entertained. T—.

Colored Sunday School Convention.
Mfi. Editor—Please give us space
in your most worthy paper to say
that we have just closed one of the
greatest S. S. conventions we have
ever held.
We met with New Hope Baptist
Sunday School, Perry, Ga., Satur
day, June 29 th. Rev. G. G. Taylor
of Perry was elected president. His
gracious manner of presiding made
him famous, and made for him many
more friends. Prof. G. W. Hum
phrey was elected secretary, and he
made for himself many friends.
Our convention was attended by
some of our leading representatives
of the state. Rev. G. M. Spratline:,
of Brunswick, Ga., president of the
State Baptist Convention of Geor
gia, spent a while with us, and gave
us a soul-stirring talk. Subject,
“Our duty to ourselves.”
Rev. W. R. Forbes, D. D., was al
so with us. He also is a pride to his
denomination. He very recently had
the honor of D. D. conferred upon
him. Dr. Forbes is from Macon,
pastor of Tremont Temple Baptist
Church. Dr. Charles H. Brightharp
of Milledgeville, Ga., was with us al
so, and many others we will not
mention.
Our convention raised a goodly
sum of money for our Central City
College, Macon, Ga.
Convention adjourned to meet in
Ma,con, Ga., 1902.
We heard many soul-stirring ser
mons during the; convention. Sun
day afternoon Rev. M. J. Morris of
Cordele, Ga., preached the sermon of
his life. It made us think of Peter
preaching on the day of pentecost,
when people said the congregation
was drunk of new wine. X.
The Houstou County Baptist Union.
In Memoriam.
Perhaps no more pleasant nor
profitable meeting of the Houston
County Baptist Union has been held
since its organization than the one
at Hattie Baptist Church on Satur
day and -Sunday, June 29th and
30th. The new Baptist church, late
ly organized at this place, having
finished their new house, invited the
Union to meet with them and take
part in the services dedicating their
handsome new church.
Rev. W. L. Cutts being elected
president and W. J. Moore secreta
ry, the Union was opened with a
statement of the objects and plans
of the meeting by the president,after
which Rev. Mr. Plemmons ; preach
ed a most excellent sermon, the sub
ject being “The wondrous growth of
the Kingdom of God.” In the af
ternoon the duties and rewards of a
deacon were discussed by Brothers
Cline, Moore, Dix and Cutts, Bro.
Plemmons preaching again at night.
Sunday morning from 9:30 to
10:30 was taken up in discussing
the Sabbath School work, led by
Bro. J. D. Mrrtin. This service was
most heartily enjoyed, as some of
the best talks of the meeting# were
made during this hour. Bro. A. S.
Dix at 11 a. m. preached a strong
sermon, his subject being “Christ
the Chief Cornerstone.” This was
really the dedication sermon, and
was full of instruction and edifi
cation. The afternoon was devo
ted to discussion of the uses and
abuses of the church house.
Adjourned subject to call and
appointment of the executive
committee.
A spread dinner was had on the
grounds both days, and for boun
tiful, substantial and well-arrang
ed public dinners the Hattie peo
ple can’t be excelled. On Sunday
the large new church house could
not, with every available seat and
space occupied, hold more than
half the crowd, and still the din
ner was sufficient to have bounti
fully fed as many more.
Five years ago there was no
Sabbath school nor Missionary
Baptist church within 8 or 10
miles of this place. To-day there
is a strong, zealous church, with
one of the best houses anywhere
to be found so far from the rail
road, and it was built almost alto
gether by local contributions, and
it is furnished and paid for and
the people are happy.
May God’s richest blessings rest
on the good people of Hattie and
the neighborhood.

w ith King' Edward of England. As

Thursday night, Jnne 27th, 1901,
the death angel entered the home of
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Stubbs, Mine-
tree, Ga., and took from them their
darling little Susie May, aged 2
years, 10 months and 19 days.
She had been sick but one week
and was not thought dangerously ill
until the Jay before she fell asleep
in Jesus that night at 10:30 o’clock.
Everything was done that human
skill could do, but to no avail; God
saw fif to take with him their earth
ly idol.
It was hard to give her up, but
we must yield to God’s will, for He
knows best. To know her was to
love her; she was so pure, so loving
and kind to every one.
She was laid to rest in the family
graveyard near Havana Friday af
ternoon at 5 o’clock.
Oh! we know it was hard for those
grief-stricken parents to return home
without their darling babe, to find
her place empty, which can never be
filled.
She leaves behind her a loving
mother, a devoted father, one sister
and brother, besides other relatives
andjmany friends. ..
Once more we stand around the bier
Of one whom many loved,
And gaze upon the lifeless tonn
Crowned in Heaven above.
For cruel death, relentless dealh,
Whom hone on earth can stay,
Hast come again and claimed a rose,
And carried her away.
Remember, too, she is now at rest,
At rest forever more;
And consolation thus we find,
Her troubles all are o’er.
“ ’Tis hard indeed to give her up,
But God above knew best; _
Then let ns say, Thy will be done,
For she is now at rest.” *
Friend.
Wednesday afternoon, June 26, at
Evergreen cemetery, was buried the
remains of little Jim Heard, Mr. and
Mrs. Y. E. Heard’s precious little
darling, who had been sick several
weeks, suffering untold misery.
All that medical skill or tender
nursing could suggest or do was
without avail; the child was wanted
in Heaven to help form that happy
band.
Grieve not, dear‘parents; think of
him as only waiting for you on the
“Other Shore,” for our Heavenly
Father says: “Suffer little children
to come unto me, and forbid them
not, for of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven.”
Relatives and friends, be of good
cheer, for He doeth all things for
the best.
He only sent this sweet child to
brighten their home for six short
years when called to his eternal
home, where he will know no more
sorrow or pain, but where only love
and peace reigns. So let ns all strive
to meet him there, where we will
part nevermore.
The bereaded family have the sin
cere sympathy of their friends.

White Mau Turned Yellow.
Great consternation was felt bv
the friends of M. A. Hogarty of
Lexington, Ky., when they saw
that he was turning yellow. His
skin slowly changed color, also
his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice.
He was treated by the best doc
tors, but without benefit. Then
he was advised to try Electric Bit
ters, the wonderful Stomach and
Liver remedy, and he writes:
“After taking two bottles I wlh
wholly cured.” Atrial proves its
matchless merit for all Stomach,
Liver and Kidney troubles. Only
