S's. on this account. This young man in his every day life brings into practice the ideas he so earnestly and eloquently endeavored to impress upon his large audience. Bro. Alford Finch spoke last and well to the point. He showed with much earnestness how that we all should be engaged in teaching and training the young children. He said that we are responsible for their train ing, and that we should be up and at work, before they pass out Irom un der our care as we have trained and tauerht them so they go forth into the world, and work to be of benefit or a curse to them and to be con demned or praised by God. This closed one of the most pleas ant Sunday- School Conferences we have had.

We are sure that they did nothing except what they believed would best .subserve the interests of the State and promote its material prog ress and improvement. The graphic description of the death scenes at the State Capital last week, on the first page of the Advance, is from the State Chroni cle. It is brilliant work, ably done. The day after the Governor's death the Chronicle told the whole sad story, three columns long. That was the true test of a journalist. To snatch him out of bed at midnight, put a pencil in his hand, a pad of pa per before him, and tell him to write. The Chronicle man stood the test, as he generally does, and the news, full, complete and satisfying in detail, was laid before the eyes of the people of North Carolina. It is no wonder it is so popular everywhere. It knows news when news is nows. nfl and numerous relatives. We they had a most delightful time. Drs. A. S. Wells and H. R. Hoover have both recently gradua ted, the former at Baltimore Dental College and the latter at the Balti more Medical College. Dr. Wills leaves to-day for Washington, N.

Thus Elm City loses two of its most moral and promising THe Spring, Of all seasons in the year, is the one for making radical changes in re gard to heath. During the winter, the system becomes to a certain ex tent clogged with waste, and the blood loaded with impurities, owing to back of exercise, close confinement in poorly ventilated shops and homes, and other causes. This is the cause of the dull, sluggish, tired feeling so general at this season, and which must be overcome, or the health may be entirely broken down. Hood's Sarsaparilla has attained the greatest popularity all over the country as the lavonte Spring Medicine. It expels the accumalation of impurities through the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs and skin, gives to the blood the purity and quality necessary to good health and overcomes that tired leehng. young men.

Pleasant, on the first Sunday in May, at 1 1 o'clock, a. m. after that, in the name of the Lord, I go West to give my life to His cause. I hate to leave the good people of Wilson and Nash counties, but I leave them in the name of the Lord, trusting Him as my leader through life. Xiood people, pray for us, that God ,-er lead us right, and the Holy ver comlort us and keep us lim. May bod s blessing rest cy is my prayer, for Christ's F. F.

Barnes, our Presi dent.ringing out over the churchgrove He was backed by a host of sweet Sunday School singers who know how to fill the soul and raise it up above the petty trials ol every day me and enable, us to walk in sweet communion with' the heaven born spirits. This was a signal for returning.to the house, which we were anxious to do, as we anticipated a soul feast. Bro. Johnnie High was called out and made a nice-" and instructive talk on who should, be members of the Sun day School. All love to hear him talk because he puts his heart into the work and talks feelingly and to the point. He is a good worker. Bro. Frank Eure was present, and at this point spoke earnestly and feel ingly about the talents which God has given each and every one. This promising young man, we are sorry to learn-, will go out in the far off West soon. He goes to preach and to help the Sunday School work out there. We hoped he- had located permanently in our section when he had commenced his good work. He will be missed. Miss Ella Deans, by .request, rose up and with a dear and distinct voice read a beautiful essay, on doing good to all mankind'. This was a new de parture in our S. S. Conventions, and the fine impresion made and the good this essay has done encourages us to continue this as a part of our future pprogram. Miss Ella did her part of the work nobly, and in a pleasant' manner gave much useful information to the large crowd. Bro. A. R. Flowers, one of our coming young men, spoke at this point, by request.
