great pleasure IN teStlfying to
the excellence Of that splendid
paper. 1t probably represents
Florida better than any other
paper in the Union represents the
state IN which it IS published. It's
telegraph service is Of the best,
and It's CORES pOndcncc covers its
territory better than that Of any
other paper we are acquainted
with. The editorial policy Of the
Times t mon and Citizen is high
and broad. II deals With the
questions CT the day in an en-
lightcncd and liberal spirit. We
know Of only one way in which
the paper needs improvement,
and that is shortening its name.
"IimCS- Union and Citizen" IS too
big a mOuthful tor this hurried
age. Let it be abbreviated to the
familiar "Timcs- UniOn," and it
will be as near perfection as a

OIL DEVELOPMENTS.
Another Deep Sand Producer Oh Camp
bells Run--Started at IL Barrels
an HOur

The deep sand territory in the
northeast extension of the Camp
BELLS run development, in Mononga-
liza county, West Virginia, has again
demonstrated its ability to present
gusher.
The South Penn Oil Company
drilled in it's No on the Elihu Ed
dy farm yesterday morning, and the
we'll started to flow at the rate Of IL
barrels an hour, and will likely in
crease its production when drilled
deeper. The location is 1900 feet
northeast of the same company's
No. 6 Eddy, which came in big
gusher last month, and is still hold,
ing up at Is barrels an hour
The northeast extension of the
Campbell's run development has
furnished some of the largest deep
sand wells that have been drilled in
the State. In the same development
McDermott & Co. are due shortly at
their No. ON the Sarah K. Eddy
farm. This class of territory has
been furnishing the largest amount
of new production for several years
in the lower southwest, and just
when it looked as though it had beer
defined new extension has come to
light and given more new produc
tion and an impetus to new opera
tons in their respective localities.

CONVOCATION SERMON.
DR.. Buchanan of the Presbyte-
rian church breaches it.

Large Congregation is Out to Hear
It-Other Ministers Of Town Take
Part-Theme is ''Life a Trust
Similar Sermons are to be Preached
at the Beginning of Each Quarter.
The first convocation sermon was
preached in Commencement Hall on
Sunday evening by DR.. A. M. Buchan-
an OF the Presbyterian church to a
very large congregation. 1t will be
hereafter the policy to have sermon
preached at the opening of each quar-
ter at the University by one of the
ministers of town beginning with the
senior in point of service in the town.
DR.. Buchanan has been here longer
than any of his confreres and was Sc
lected to inaugurate the practice on
that score.
He chose for his text part of the
charge given by David to Solomon by
the old king when near death and
when turning over the affairs Of the
state to his successor. The text was
keep the charge of the Lord thy
God" The theme was Life trust. "
The treatment Of it was that mans
life is not his exclusive property but a
trust given him by the Almighty and
that an accounting will have to be
rendered of the way IN which the
trust is managed by each.
The sermon is being very highly
praised on all sides for the simplicity
and earnestness of the message de-
livered. 1t was one of the finest ever
heard in the town and the audience
was deeply impressed by it.
The other ministers of town were
on the rostrum and took part in the
services. Mr.. Hannah of the Episco-
pal church read the scriptural lesson
and Mr.. McCutcheon lead in prayer.
Mr.. Barnes of the M. P. church pro-
nounced the benediction.
The music was of very high order
and two solos were rendered by in
structors in the school of music. One
of these was vocal number and the
other was with the violin.
DR.. Raymond presided as master of
ceremonies and made short address
stating the nature of the convocation
sermons and the causes that lead up
to their inauguration and promising
that they would be made a regular
feature Of the University life.

MINISTER DISMISSED.
Rev. l.. H. Jordon no Longer a
Methodist.

An Elder Out-Greatest Church builder
in the Conference and for Forty years
a Worker is Dismissed-Mysterious
Case-NO Explanation is made and il
Passed HurriedIy.
The Methodist conference now in
session at Parkersburg performed an
action that will be great surprise tC
a great many people in this town and
county. They deposed from the min
istry and the church Rev. L. II. Jor-
dan one of the best known ministers
in the state and who has been fol
forty years member of the confer
ence. He was made an elder at the
meeting of the church which took
place in Morgantown two years ago.
The reasons for the step were not
given out. There were no charges
filed as far as known and there was
no discussion. The motion was made
by Rev. J. w. Bedford and seconded
by Elder J. Engle to dismiss the Ell.
der. 1t is said that the ministers OF
the churches under him in the New
River district made the complaints
but this is not at all certain.
1t is stated positively that the
charges were not of immortality but
what they are will likely remain in
