--Good Results.
-----

       The twelfth annual session of the Falls county Baptist Association closed its labors at Chilton Saturday.
       This session is designed as one of the best in the history of the association in point of attendance, devotional exercises, and amount of collections.
       Rev. W. A. Knight, pastor of the Reagan church was chosen moderator and presided with ease and fairness to all.
       J. M. Freeman, of Chilton, the secretary of the association, kept the minutes.
       The collections and pledges for the various objects amounted to over $2000.
       Twenty three churches were represented by messengers.
       The association was well entertained by the hospitable people of Chilton, the members of all denominations joining in seeing that all were cared for.
       The next session of the association will be held with the Otto church in 1903.
