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—. Byron, Ga., July 1. • - — 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. J. Moore, Clerk. — 44—* Death of Susie May Stubbs. On June 25th David B. Hender son, speaker of the United States House of Representatives, was ac corded an interview of one hour w ith King' Edward of England. As a result of that interview, Mr. Hen- demon says King friend of this country,and that Eng- 1 !,nd will bo on the side of this conn- uV iu any ordinary controversy with any other country or countries. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin cures stomach troubles. Sold by druggists. 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. Heard, Ga., Jnly 1. May. 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.
