Greater in leavening strength, a spoon-

Working uniformly and perfectly, it
makes the bread and cake always light
and beautiful, and there is never a waste
of good flour, sugar, butter and eggs.
While it actually costs less to make a
batch of biscuit with the Price Baking
Powder than with the so-called cheap
powders, there is the additional advan-
tage of better and more healthful food.

R. R. HAMLIN.
URIKF MOGKAPIIY OK ONK OF M'-
KINNKY'S POPULAR PASTORS—
AN ACT1VK CAREER.
We give below a brief biogra-
phical skotch of Eld. R. R. Ham-
lin, pastor First Christian church,
McKiuney. It appeared in the
last issue of the Dallas Christian
Courier and, though brief, is
comprehensive summary of a very
active ministerial career which
will be read with interest by our
people:
44 We give this week a splendid
likeness of tno genial pastor at
McKinney. Bro. Ilamlin was
born at Niagara Fall, N. Y., some
forty years ago, but his parents
moved south when ho was asmal
child, hence he was raised in the
South, and is fully imbued with
Southern spirit. His parents, who
were Episcopalians, settled in
Middle Tennessee, and hero tho
younger Hamlin heard T. B.Lari-
more preach, and road Dr.Brent's
weld known book, "Tbe Gospe"
Plan of Salvation," awl by the
preaching and reading ho was let!
to obey the gospel and be a Chris
tian only.
"He received only a common
school education^ but has been
student of men aud books for
twenty years, hence be has a lib-
eral education. He is-still a close
studeut, spending much time with
books.
"Brother Haailin oarne to Tex
as about eleven years ago,and lias
boon abundant jo labors ever since
hO'Came. His first labors were
in Bell, Falls and McClellan
counties. In April 1$91 he be-
gan work with the ^churches at
HLUsboro and Blooming Grove
devoting one haif histimo to each
of these churdkes. In November
of the same year be was called to
minister to theehurok at Bolton.
Here he did an exoedlent work.
He iuext accepted a position as
ficld'cditor of the Christian Cou-
rier, moving his family to Piano,
and giving that church one-half
his time while he devoted the oth-
er half to traveling aad soliciting
subscribers to the Courier. In
this work ho spent a year and a
half, when he was called to the
pastorate of tho church at Pales-
tine, wihere he spent lave years.
In October 1900,he accepted work
again with tho church at Piano,
remaining with them until tbe
first of January, when he moved
to his present place, McKinney.
Bro. llamiin's work has ever been
successful both in the pas-
torate and as evangelist While
pastor he doubled the membership
at Bolton, Piano and Palestine,
and during his one year at Mc-
Kinney, lie had one hundred and
ono accessions to tho congrega-
tion aud raised over $600 for
missions. The Sunday school has
made the best record of its his-
tory under his pastoral rare,
His books show a record of
forty-three meetings in ten years,
and each shows good results. His
most successful meeting was with
the Manor church, which contin-
ued twenty-live days, with 122
additions, 90 of these by confes-
sion and baptism. This mooting
was in the summer of 1*90. His
diary for 1901 shows 227 sermons
278 additions in four protracted
meetings. This is a good record.
Bro. Hamlin will continue with
the McKinney church and is a
staunch friend ot tho Courier."

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy tho
sense of smel! and deranges the
whole system when entering it
through tho mucuous surfaces.
Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from re-
putable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ton fold to the good
you can possibly derive from
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man-
ufactured by F. l. Cheeney & Co.
Toledo, O., contains no mercury,
and is takon internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucu-
ous surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be
sure you get the gonuine. It is

Now is the time to prepare your land for a big corn crop: Never
before has the markets been so bare of feed stuffs, and it certainly
wiM be the farmer's interests to plant a largo corn crop. If yon
waat to make plenty of corn plant it right, and to do thi9 you need a
Canton Check Row Planter.
We have both the Disc and Runner Planters, which plants both
cotton and corn, checking them both ways. It will pay you to see
stfheso planters before vou arrange to plant your crop. The New
Di sc Planter is the latest machine out and will plant in trash as well
a« in clean land; won't drag out a big furrow, and the wheels won't
tpick up your corn. Come and see our new Planters, Cultivators,
•etc. They arc beauties aud no mistake.

What Jolly fun
It is to run
And skate far and near;
O'er ice and snow
To gaily go
With never a fear!
With keen delight
O'er pavement white
Coasting on a sled:
And never cry
Tho' off we Hy
And bruise a head!
But up we jump-
Forget the bump
In tho game so fast
With cheeks aglow
For wo well know
Our sport will not last!
