He will be heard by a great crowd from all over the state. * President of Convention. Dr. John D. Mell is president of the convention. It Is thought he will have no opposition. He is said to be one of the best parliamentarians in the state. His father before him was regarded as an authority on parliamentary usage and the son seems to have inherited much of his ability. There are many questions that will come up for discussion. Among them Mercer University, the woman's colleges, and the secondary schools. It is re ported that Dr. C. H. S. Jackson, presi dent of Bessie Tift College has resign ed. It is stated that his resignation is the result of efforts on the part of some to build Shorter College at the expense of Bessie Tift.

A union meeting of the Baraca and Fhilathea City Unions was held on Tuesday evening at St. John’s Meth odist church. The Baracas met in tile main auditorium of the church and the Philatheas in the Sunday school annex. This was the result of a de cision reached at the last meeting of the two unions. It was argued that many of the young women found It difficult to attend the meetings as the young men had to attend theirs at an other church. As an experiment the unions will meet again in December simultaneously and at the same place. If it brings more of the members of the classes out it will likely become permanent for the next year at least. Good Reports. The reports made at the two meet ings were very good. They showed that both classes were doing excellent work, and were adding new members constantly to the roll and actual at tendance. The Phllathea Union had by FRANK DEMING, THE OFFICE MANAGER.

"No, no; I must look after Helen." "I’ll get that fellow yet." pressed himself as hopeful despite the financial pressure. IJ is not likely that Dr. J. J. Bennett, secretary for the Board of State Mis sions, will be able to attend. He suf fered a break down last winter soon after the convention In Gainesville, and has not been allowed to work since.
