One of the most successful Sunday
School workers in the county is w,
j. Hayden, OF Springfield, Mo. who
is now in this city on a visit.
Mr., Hayden was born near Lynch
burg, Virginia, He came to Mis-
souri, in 1860, His first permanent
location in the west was at Mexico,
Mo. While here he became active
in Sunday school work and assisted
in convoking and organizing in
1866 Missouri's first State Sunday
School Convention. His efficiency
in this department Of Christian work
soon attracted attention, and he was
induced to accept an appointment in
1866 as Sunday School Missionary
in Northern Missouri. Subsequent
ly he was transferred to Southwest
err Missouri. Arriving in Spring
field in December, 1868, he imme-
diately engaged in the Sunday
School Missionary work in South
western Missouri and Northern Ar
kansas. In this capacity he visited
nearly all accessible school houses
and churches from Iowa to the Ar
kansas river, and from the Missis-
sippi river to Kansas. He travelled
on horseback, by stage, in his own
vehicle, by cars, after railroads were
introduced, oftentimes also on foot,
from one sparsely settled community
to another, many times travelling all
night and preaching all day. In the
early days of his work here it was
nothing unusual for him to preach
and address the people forenoon,
afternoon and night; Sabbath after
Sabbath and evening during the
week, visit people in their homes
during the day and urge upon them
attention to religious duty, arrange
with them for the organization of a
Sabbath school, distribute Bibles,
Testaments, hymn books and tracts,
and in all possible ways urge upon
the people the claims of the Master.
A summary of the work perform
ed by this one man in his twenty
five years of service would startle
the lazy drones of many city congre-
cations. He has organized 1900
Sabbath schools, gathered in IS, 900
children, organized scores of town
ship and county Sunday school
conventions and temperance socie-
ties.

They have the reputation of being
the best all purpose fowl. They
are good layers and foragers, and
produce early marketable chickens

and sweet and therefore always in
demand. In their general make up
Barred Plymouth Rocks are attract

satisfied with them.
LANGsHANs.
The Langshan is a large fowl and
yet it lays almost as many eggs as
the Leghorn. Its flesh is close

Its plumage, carriage and form are

Greenwood Hopes are Vanished
senator HcmphiIl Gives the Grand
Bounce TO the Pr0jcct-impalcd on
Point Of Order.
When the Greenwood county bill
was reached, Senator Hemphill car
ried the point of order that the bill
was not accompanied by petition. as
required by statutes for the incorpor,l-
tiOn Of bodies polite. He read the
statutes bearing on the question, and
stated that none of the preliminary
steps had been taken. There had
been no advertisement Of the proposed
change in the counties, and the people
to be affected had been taken by sur
prise. There had been some petitions
before the committees, but they did
not conform to the statutory require
ments. The case of Berkeley county
had been postponed last year on this
very point. He did not propose to
deprive the people of Abbeville county,
still his constituents, OF any of their.
privileges, but he represented the
vast majority OF the people Of Able
vile, He had taken no advantage of
his friends who asked for the new
county. He had given them fair
chance, but the county must be formed
according to law.
Senator Mayfield replied to the
Abbeville Senator, reoiting the power
sucoinctly given the Legislature to
form new counties by changing the
bounds of the old one, declaring that
the Legislature could form new coun-
ties of it's own motion, without pcti-
tions. He denied that any "snap
Judgment had been taken and said
that tho news of the movement which
startled in October had been fully
circulated.
Senator Finley believed that the
Senator s technical point now came at
a late day, after the bill had passed
the House.
Senator Moore stated that the law
read by the Senator from Abbeville
was from q chapter headed "Intro.
ductiop of Measures for Private Pur-
poses, wfrich disposed Of the point.

MARRIED wOMEN'S RIGHTS.
An Effort to Amend the LAW and
Give Them Absolute Power to Max e
Contracts.

An Effort to Amend the Law and
Give Them Absolute Power to Make
Contracts.
The bill to amend the law relating
to married womCn'S contracts, on
which there was an unfavorable report,
was defended by its author, Senator
Mower. Ho said that the bill was
carrying out the evolution of evil now
in progress as to such contracts of that
character He believed that the un-
restricted rights of ownership should
carry with them free rights Of contract
ing.
Senator Smythc, speaking for the
committee, maintained that the law
was now ascertained, and that it was
thought unwise to further tinker with
il.
Senator Mower argued that tho law
was not ascertained. and it's object was
to clarity the situation.
Senator Zimmerman agreed with
the Senator from Newberry. The pro-
visions OF the law were so plain that
there could be no question about it.
Senator Buist had, since '82. favored
and voted for such legislation, al
though at that time but one Senator
had voted with him. The bill would
be for the protection of honest cred
tendency of civilization.
Senator Wilson said that we have a
good law, let's hold on to it. This bill
will undo all that has been done for
the protection of married women since
1882.
think" remarked Senator Big
ham, that the Senator from New
berry is right. The bill is plain, and
we have intelligence enough to vote
upon it without the advice of lawyers,
who are very nice gentlemen, but
often expensive" Hc could not under
stand why the Senator from Spartan.
| burg should bo SO interested to take
care of the women, while the truth is
that women are now taking care of the
men, at which the Senate laughed
softly, in its becoming way.
Senator Finley stood up for the law
as it now exists, and in his personal ex-
porience he knew that it had been pro-
ductive of good for the people.
Senator Smythe observed that the
Florence Senator, like most other peo-
pie, thought that, though lawyers
come high, they were very good things
when they were on his side. Senator
Smythe depicted the misfortunes that
come from signing security notes, and
declared that the present law was q
safeguard to women, becusc they had
no accurate notions Of business.
Senator Mower believed that the
business capacity of married women
was undcrestimated
Senator Verdier declared that the
existing law placed women on the
samc footing with lunatics. 1t was,
as he regarded it, premium on fraud,
Married women should at least be left
with the same power as single women.
The nnfavorablo report was adopted
by vote of u to 8.
