' Tasaenger Agent Rogers, of the Kansas

contracted to transport to Bait Like City,
Utah, three Mormon elder and fifty convert,
from Cullaman county, Ala.
Out of the fifty converts eighteen are girls,
between twelve and twenty year of age; six
teen are women, between twenty and forty
year of age and the others are mm and boy.
They ar of the poo res 5 class of country p o
pie, and only nine of the entire party are able
to read and writ a
The converts are In charge rf Eldors
Smith, Richie and Lee, who will accompany
them to Utih. E der Smith, who is In com
mand, said to a repirter: "IV hav met
with much opposition in the Southern states,
but Ala'tama and Eist Tonnes" have been
our most fruitful field. We hive been de
nounced and threatone I and a number of our
elder hive been whlppo I, tarred and feath

to the true religion of the Litter Day Stint.
We have elders in various sections of the
Norlh -ra and Western stites and a numbr
in Europe, but recently we have lieen con
gregating our forces in tha South, a w
have met with greater succens In this section
than In any other pirt Every fow month
we gather at Cliattanoiga, Tenn., and Birm
ingham, Ala, and all convert who wish lo
go to Utah are given transportation.
" We have In the States of Alabama and
Tennessee nearly forty flourishing miss on

more annually, and tho United State Gov

Wo are locating many c invert itiAriiitn,
