yoL- i trip TO the “Mountain City* 0 f Tennessee. j»y d, M. ALMAND. (continued from last week.) After services Sunday, I and my Lend, Lth, Mr. Davis, whom I stopped Ceme went to the National Lry and we reached it about two (.’clock. It is the prettiest place lever visited. It must be about twenty acres and it has a wall around it about five feet high, dth large stone arhees at the en trances with large iron gates. It beautiful streets and drives. [7is las natural oaks shadowed by pad the shades they made were jeautiful. The cemetery is cov .red with beautiful blue grass and ookedlikea green carpet, and inder the trees are seats that the keary can rest under the beauti ful shade of the oaks. The graves of [he soldiers that were buried there ^umbered some where about four -0011 thousand. It is indeed the iity [,f of the dead. More than head half them are marked on the stones their names and command Li the state they came from; L oh how sad to pass by the Ither half marked “unknown.” It made me feel sad to think that [hey were not known here but jrould come forth at the great esteection day, owned by Redeemer, all that was His. The [emetery has some beautiful mon¬ uments to the dead. There is one that was erected to those soldiers that had stolen the engine, named General, at Big Shanty and tried to get through the confederate lines and was captured and I pink, if I am not mistaken, there were eighteen of them. Eight or ten of them escaped. [There were eight of them cap predand ['timed executed. They were near this monument, giv¬ ing their homes and command, post of them if not all of them, pwre from Ohio, and this mon Imient gives a full description of F 0 darring adventure which cost post of them their lives and the "wument is a miniature engine 0 represent the old General they rtole. The original engine was exhibited at the Exposition last Wl, which, no doubt, many re ®fta\ber seeing it. We returned ; church services and when ^ reached the church it had al My commenced, and it was at N service the missionaries from r N e foriegn fields come to report tell of the work and good r s ot the glorious work they N accomplished through the in pence 0 f the Holy Spirit.

He has twenty-seven hundred members in his church and while he was in prison they met and prayed for him night and day until he was released and when he was released he went to his church and such rejoicing they had. They stayed there nearly all night and I wish you could see him and hear him talk and I hope before the frost comes he will be in Conyers to talk to our people. Next was the missionary from China who had been there a long time, ten years I think, if I remember correctly. He is a young man I can’t remember his name. He says that the Chinese are a very humble people now and says she is no more to boast of being second to no nation on the globe, since Japan a small nation gained such victories over her and brought China to terms. He says the people are more liberal and treat the missionaries better now and China is coming to our Sav¬ ior and believing in Him. Next was a missionary from Italy and gave very encouraging reports, and then the missionary from Mexico. Then the missionary from Indian Territory, Bro. Hoge, who has been there forty years. He was a school mate of Gov. Northern in Hancock county, Ga., and gave an interesting report of the work in the territory. Gov. Northern was conducting the meeting and he gave a talk and said that this day was the hap¬ piest day of his life and many other beautiful things. Then came next the native Indian mis¬ sionary and said some of the sis¬ ters of the convention wanted to know how the Lord saved the In¬ dian He commenced, (we could understand him very well and he was an inteligent man.) “No houses and land do I posses, a cottage in this wilderness,” and told his experience. It was an experience of grace and, as some of our Baptist people would say, he talked like Jones’ folks. He gave a good talk, telling the cus¬ toms of the Indian and says they have Sunday schools and churches and have services regular and in many places where they have no houses they assemble under the shade of the trees and hold their services, and he said their people dressed like our people; their children dress like our children and are being educated in their schools. There are more than twelve thousand Baptist now that are organized into churches and says their people don’t take other denominations much but Baptist. And he spoke about his work and his support. He said he didn t want his people to give as much as he did. He gave all, himself, his wife and children and had made the work his work and gave the Lord his all. Oh bow I wish our people could haye heard him and to see his consecration, and then many of our Baptist people would be willing to be liberal to give to the mission cause. Other Indian missionaries, visitors to the convention, were called upon to make talks. Some of then we could scarcely under¬ stand what they said. There were seven or eight of them and Bro. Northern called on them to sing us a song in their language. We knew what the song was by the tune. It was a little song I love to hear. "Tis religion that can give Sweetest pleasures while we live." It was sung in the spirit and it was delightful to hear, though not understood and yet full of the spirit of the song, and then Bro. Northern celled upon one of them to pray for the convention and all of the missionaries that were there and in the foriegn fields. Yet not a word could we under¬ stand, we could feel the influ¬ ence of the words he spoke. The convention adjurned to meet for pleaching services at night, and we met again Monday morning and heard many inter¬ esting talks again from the mis¬ sionaries and other brethern from the different states. We then returned home all O. K. with a grateful remembrance of the people of Chattanooga and the convention, and houe to meet many of them again at WiUming ton N. C. t next May. Yours Fraternally D.

DON’T STOP TOBACCO. How to Cure Yourself While Uainff it. The tobacco habit grows on a man until his nervous system is seriously affected, impair¬ ing health, comfort and happiness.
