WOMAN'S HOME MISSION SOCIETY. Sixteenth Annual Session Held in Smithfield, May 8-12, 1907. MANY DELEGATES PRESENT. First Session of the Conference Was Held Thursday Morning "at Half past Nine O'clocn.?A Large Number of Smlthfieid Peo ple Attended the Ses sions. The Sixteenth annual meeting of the Woman's Home Mission Society of the North Carolina Conference, M. E. Church South, was held in Smithtield, N.C., May 8-12,1907. This society was lirst organ ized for the purpose of building, repairing and making comforta ble the parsonages where the charges themselves were notable to do so. However the society ! has enlarged its sphere of useful ness until now there are quite a number of channels through which this noble band of women may help to carry on the work of the church. Establishing schools, city missions, and res cue work have been the special work of this organization. Realizing that one of the surest and quickest ways of christian izing the world, is to care for the foreign element in our large cities, the Woman's Home Mis sion Society has begun to take steps in this direction. Schools for the Cubans and Italians have been established iu Florida, and for the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans in California. Also schools for the poor girls of the mountain districts have been built. Not only is the society doing educational work, but it has also established city mis sions. The work of the deacon esses of these city missions is wonderful. The consecration of the women who have given their lives to this work is beautiful. Then, the rescue work is equally as important as the city mis sions. Many a way ward girl has been turned from the paths of sin to a christian life of service, through this rescue work. There are now 45 auxiliaries iu the North Carolina Conference. The first session of the confer- J ence was held Thursday morning at half past nine o'clock.

Chicago, May 13.?The wildest pauic which has shaken the board of trade since the Leiter corner, ten years ago, caine to day, when the bears were driven in rout, and wheat passed the dollar inark. Scenes of tumu'.t followed the opening of the j market. Prices in all wheat options went up by leaps and bounds. December wheat ad vanced 8 cents in Iqjlf an hour, and cash wheat was 5 cents high er at one time than the close of ! Saturday. The panic was forecasted in ?the opening prices in the European markets, where big gains over Satprday's closing quotations were shown. These prices, shown by cable, caused a tremendous struggle on the tioor of the Chicago exchange today. ! ? Trade in wheat was doiie on such an enormous scale, and the fluctuations were sovioleut, that individual operations were lost i sight of. All semblance of order was lost as the maddened brokers deluged the pit with buying orders. Fortunes were made and lost every minute. Unveiling May Twentieth.

We are indebted to Miss Laura Elizabeth Joyner for an invita tion to the commencement exer cises of Louisburg college for young ladies to take place May 19th to 23rd 15)07. Let me mail you free, to prove merit, samples of my Dr. Shoop's Restorative, and my book on either Dyspepsia, The Heart, or the Kidneys. Address me, Dr. Shoop, Racine. Wis. Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or Kid neys, are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment: Don't make the common error of treating symp toms only. Symptom treatment is treating the result of your ail ment, and not the cause. Weak j Stomach nerves?the inside nerves?means Stomach weak ness, always. And the Heart and Kidneys as well, have their controlling or inside uerves. Weaken these nerves, and you inevitably have weak vital organs. Here is where I)r. I Shoop's Restorative has made its fame. No other remedy even claims to treat the "inside nerves" Also for bloating, biliousness, bad breath or com plexion, use Dr. Shoop's Re storative.
