i Washihgton, June 15. Goverrif
ment officials admitted tonkfht
ct moo o niicio in
ican mediation conference at N lag
ara Falls oTer the selection. of men
to represent the proposed provis--ional
government. They, however,
still seemed confident that condte
tions presented would be met.
Late in the day word came from
Niagara Falls that the South Amer4
ican mediators had replied to the
recent note from General Carran
za, chief of the Mexican constitu
tionalists, seating that his offer to
send delegates to the peace con
ference would be accepted only if
he agreed to cease hostilities,
against Huerta. That Carranza
would not consent to such a condi
tion had been repeatedly asserted
by him, and ail his representatives;
This development therefore caused
no change in the diplomatic situa
tiori so far as the United States
, . . .
was concerned. ' 1
Revival at the Baptist Churcfau

progress at the Baptist church fqr
more than a week is still in pro

was the f ery best. The Preacher
told them some things which they
will not soon forget, and at the
close of the service he called on
all who were willing to. pledge
themselves to see that Roxboro
was made a better town to come
and give him their hand. Many
went forward and made the pledge.
During this meeting many have
professed faith in the Lord and
quite a number have united with
the Baptist j church, while many
others will unite with the other
churches of the town. We take
great pleasure in laying that the
coming of Mr. Suttle has meant
much to the town and he has won
a warm place in the hearts of all
of us. -

Sunday School Rally7 at Rock
i Grove; -
j I Last Sunday they had a Sunday
School and Sunbeam' rally at Rock
Grove church. This is aK church
about four miles from Roxboro,
and few congregations deserve
more -praise than this little band
of workers. With only about eigh
teen male members they have
built a neat house of worship, all
pointed inside and-out and every
thing is iaid for. Of course these
men do not deserve all of this cred
it for the ladies have had. a very
large hand -in it.
; On this occasion there was a
large crowd present, and the exer
cises were of a high-order show
ing splendid training. Mr. W. J.
Edwards is the superintendent of
the Sunday School, and his daugh
ter, Miss Laura, is the efficient
leader of the Sunbeam society. It
was a good day and rarely have we
ei joyed an occasion more than our j
visit last Sunday with these good
people.
5 In another column will be found
report of the proceedings by Poor
Richard. He gives a good account,
save;he omitted to mention the ad
dress in the afternoon by Mr. Wil
liam Davis. He spoke for about
tnirty minutes, and it was worth
while, ibeing very much enjoyed
