Death of Mr. R. W. Booth.
On Sunday morning last this gentle
man after several weeks sickness passed

brother of Dr. J. W. Booth and Mr. R.

W. S. Hester, President, presided. The
Conference was opened with prayer by
Rev. Mr. Bumpass, of Oxford. After
singing the dsscussions of the day i were
taken up. "What is the proper wrk of
the Sunday-school ?" Discussed byfH. E.
Overton, D N. Hunt and S. H. Longnire!
The next subject was, "If a Sunday.:hool
goes into winter quarters who s to
blame?" Discussed by W. O. Bfbbitt
and Charles F. Crews. The nexf wa
'Has the catechism any place in the Sun
day-schools of to-day ?" Discussed by J
P. Hunt and Dr. W. S. Black. These
brethren all delivered their speeches well.
They spoke short and to the point. ,!fhey
showed a willingness to. discharge as best
they could
the duties that had beeA put
upon
them. There were presenjj the
choirs from the different churches ofi
the
circuit, and between speeches one clss at
the time would make very fine iusic.
Every now and then some little by or
girl from the different schools woi'i re
cite a nice piece of poetry or somfhing
prepared for the occasion. Little-'Cora
Smith, a sweet little girl of aboufour
years from Salem school, deserves social

A solo by Miss Mattie Crews was :om
plimwnted on every hand. The Bathel

fine music indeed, but I think it was de

finest. Everything passed off very nicely
and we think there was much good done
for the Sunday-school cause.

EW ALLIANCE PIC-NIC.
PEACE, MASSEY AND WILLIAMS MAKE
SPLENDID SPEECHES.
Larue Crowd Present- Unbounded
Hospitality of the People of this Fa
vored Section-Good Day's Work for
the Cause of Reform.
Wednesday was a beautiful day and in
company with Mr. Alf Hobgood, the truly
live, hustling representative of the Old
Reliable Meadows Warehouse, we atten
ded the Alliance Pic-Nic at Enon. The
weather was fair and balmy, and the kind,
hospitable people of this highly favored
section of our county turned out en masse
tc welcome the speakers on that day, who
were joined by a large number from Ox
ford. There was a large number of the
fair ladies present who have a great deal
do with.making almost anything a success
in this country with smiles of encourage
ment in the great battle for ireedom in
this country. We say God bless the no
ble, devoted women of county and coun.
try.
A. S. Peace, Esq., the County Lecturer,
was master of ceremonies and opened the
proceedings by submitting some sensible
and patriotic remarks. Mr. Peace Is al
ways happy on such occasions, and we
never knew him more felicitous than at
this time. His speech was brimful of
sound substantial reasons for financial re
form in this country, and the farmers
were determined to have it.
District Lecturer P. H. Massey was the
next speaker and entertained the large
audience most handsomely. He has a
magnificent voice. He speaks distinctly
and is one of the most attractive lecturers
that has spoken in this county, and we
congratulate the Farmers' Alliance upon
their admirable selection of District Lec
turer. He is small in statue but he cer
tainly gets there, and is thorougly posted
on the great principles of the Alliance.
He presents his facts in an effective way;
impresses his hearers that he is in earnest
his statements. He produced strong ar
guments in favor of the farmers taking a
hand in the affairs in this country. His
anecdotes are appropriate, and especially
the "coon story" about Wall street ghouls
and the Alliance demands which com
pletely captured the crowd.
After Mr. Massey concluded his ad
dress dinner was announced by Mr. John
P. Cannady. The large number of ladies
who-graced the occasion superintended
the dinner. The tables were abundantly
laden with opossum, chicken, turkey ,ham,
lamb, beef, breads, potatoes, cakes and
pies of many varieties, pickles, in fact al
most everything that goes to make up a
first-class dinner. Mr. Peace paid the ta
ble did not indicate hard times. We never
attended a pic nic where the refreshments
were more elegantly prepared and clever
ly served served .When wereached one cor
ner of the table near a giant oak and after
being supplied with a fine piece of opos"
sum we stepped back near the tree and
found ourselves in the midst of a delega
tion of the fat men's club who had taken
a lean on the tree composed of Joe Par
ham, W. J. Badgett, Red Fox Crews, J. R.
Currin, C. L Moss, W. L. Mitchell and
B. F. Hester. We met with a Learty
welcome and we all certainly did justice
to the tempting viands. If Uncle Mon
roe Thomasson had been there the crowd
would have been complete. One of the
masticators said from amount of good
eatings he had destroyed he ought to be
as large as Joe Currin.
Dinner over the next speaker was Hon.
A. H. Williams, Congressman elec-, from
this district. Capt. Williams never ap
peared to greater advantage. The audi
ence was anxious to hear him on the na
tional issues, and was squarely with the
people in their demands for relief from
the plutocratism of Wall street. He spoke
with power and effect. We heard many
compliment his speech and pronounce It
one of the best they ever heard him mafce.
This ended a grand a day for Alliance.
As we go to press (Thursday afternoon)

A DIsflKured Countenance.
Many people who would scarcely notice
an armless or legless man will instantly
detect and remark on any blemish of the
human face, and dive into all sorts of
speculations as to its cause and attendant
circumstances. If you doubt this asser
tion become possessed of a discolored
optic and note how much attention it will
Invite. A black eye Is generally avoida
ble, but blotches, pimples and other scrof
ulous and eruptive marks steal upon us
without warning, and are frequently the
first intimation of the fact that our blood
is going wrong. A prompt and systematic
use of P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root
and Potassium) will purify the blood,
cleanse the skin and give back to the face
nature's familiar, ruddy signs of health.
Get it of your druggist.
Every one should use P. P. P., because
at this season nearly every one needs a
good med'eine to purify, vitalize and en
ilch the blood. For sale by J. G. Hall.
Why do you wear the Patent Sole
Shoes? Because it excludes dust and
water, and wears better than any other.'
