that liiry will continue doing the same.
The Unl /erslty at Jackson is to have
an electric plant thMugh tlie liberality
of Bro. T B. Tigrett of Hall's. He is a
noble Baptist and a worthy son of the
lamented S. K. Tigrett, whose Held of
labor I now occupy. Bro. Tigrett was
such a wise leader that I iltid great
pleasure lu following him. He held
the love and confidence of his churciies
as few paktors. Last nlgiit I preached
fur Bro. Mitchell at this place. We liad
a large congregation. Br». Mitchell is

Many hounekeepera think there
nothing to learn about Ihe care of

Fint, a lamp must be cleaned aud

the beat way la to bull them in water
