At Calvary Baptist Church at Seavillo Rev. J. W. Taylor 1ms conducted a most successful series of meetings. Two 1 weeks ago eight porsons submitted to < the ordinance of baptism, and the im- j mersion of others is to follow. The squatter's cave hy tho side of tho j It.

After smothering the flumes he was surprised to find that, while the inside of the lamp was one tnuss of fire, the glass was unbroken. Hud an ©xfdosion taken place tho damugo would iavo been serious.
