April 27-29,: 1906, promises to be one of unusual interest, having a well arranged program by which to be governed. r ': Long Branch church is situ ated on the Creek roadabout six miles south of Lumberton, and among the best in the county. Bro. LP. Hedgpeth has been the under-shepherd of this good people for quite a number of years, and holding their un shaken, confidence no man is loved more than he. ' The brethren have planned for a new, "up-to-date house of wor ship, and already the material is on the grounds and the money in sight to pay for its building. The people of this section are frugal in their habits, yet liberal and consecrated, patriotic and indus trious. The chief object of this Union meeting is to promote the Sun day school work of the Associ-. ation. This work is of special importance and deserves especial emphasis. The Robeson Asso ciation is composed of 46 Baptist churches with a membership of 5,030. The Sunday school column adds up 3, 116. Prom a statistica view- point, only half of this num- erwe members of the churches. A sad spectacle to-be-sure! 3,472 "Baptists in Robeson, who are not enlisted in the Sunday school work. How to reach them is the mo mentous question; We would in closing advise the clerks that an up-to-date sta tistical report from each church is expected. . This was urged at the Union Meeting at Ten Mile in December. Not tfoat these re ports will be pnbKcly read, but that a digest of them may show the spiritual and financial condi tion of the Association. Let each churoh be faithf ully represented by (delegates who will remain through the entire meetings. J. M. Flemjung. DO YOU GET W WITH A LAME BACK? Kidney Trouble Makes Tou JfiseraMe.

They are, answers the St. Louis Star Chronicle. Your Uncle Hiram, who will be 81 his next birthday and who flouts all new fangled things from automobiles to patent eoi4i shelters, wears boots. He says the rheumatism wonld be the death of him without calf-skin coverings. There is still a limited market for bootjacks. . If you will study the foot covering of men and women for the last century you will be surprised to see how sensi ble folks are getting. We wear shoes instead of boots because they 'are neater, more comforta ble, less 'expensive and not clumsy. It would be next to im XKifisible for Dame Fashion to make s get to boots. Henry Plantagenet, duke of Anjou, wore shoes the points of which were two feet in length. That was for the purpose of hiding an excres cence on one of his royal feet. Peo ple who had ao excrescences on their feet followed unit. They had to. In the reign of Queen Mary square toes were the rage, 'until a roya proclamation was is- sad that no shoes were to be 'worn with toes more than six inches square.

An extraordinary ight was -witnessed in the siuaH honrs of the morning recently by persons passing asking the street and boulevard in the neighborhood oi the East railway tatUxn, Paris, says the London Matt Thousands of huge rats, tnany tf them as large asrabbit, were Fcampering along in terror.

People fled from tin streets in terror, but the rats did not attack any human beings, and turned into the sewers whenever they could find an opening. It appears, What a short time ago while a temporary wooden bridge was being demolished in the Boul evard Hebastopol over the tunnel ing tor the new Metropolitan rail way, an old sewer was brought to light, lit must have been the headquarters of all the rats in the neighborhood. They poured out into the streets in an enormous army. The workmen, several hundred ftn number, laid about them vigorously with sticks and spades and killed no fewer than 1,X)0 of the rodents. The inhabitants of .the neigh borhood are nlarmed and are afraid to go down into their cellars for coals and wine. Surprising.

'r- Some interesting phases of Si berian life are described in Bara cel Turner'aj book on that eoun try. Of the exiles he writes 1 "When I told a Siberian friend that I carried a revolver as a pro tec tion against wolves, I was prompt ly informed that I bad much more reason to fear the human wolves 1 raightencounter,andthi, I found, was a general view of the case. About one-third of the criminal exiles escape all control. Armed with a stick, to which is attached a strong piece of cord or catgui, they will approach the unwary traveler from behind, throw the cord round his neck, and quietly strangle him by twisting the stick, to rob him at their leisure of what ever he may possess, or secure his passport in order to make their escape from the country."-. Great is the butter-making of Siberia, and greater, says Mr. Turner, it is to become a region that might supply half mankind with butter. "There are, how ever, peasants who, for one rea son or another, refuse to sell their milk or to turn it into butter. The owner of a farm not far from the station of Tagai was asked by a Danish friend why he did not sell the milk from his 300 cows to tho neighboring dairy. He replied that his grandfather and his fa ther had not sold milk before him, and that he "saw no reason why he should do so; he was sure the Lord wonld not like it." Here is a familiar picture which the author saw from the Siberian railway as he traveled on it, day after day, across- the sea of steppes: We of ten passed sledg es going in the same direction as our train, nnd sometimes, when the horses took fright at the en gine, they maintained the same speed, as the train for consider able distances, frequently termin ating the race by overturning the sledges And scattering their occu pants."
