linois.
Mr.. Henry ]. Powell, his partner,
will hereafter be ttate agent, with
exclusive control OF the state bust
ness, and an increase in salary, while
Mr.. Dildsy has one of the most luora-
tive as well as responsible positions
the company affords, covering three
states. This will be good news to Mr..
Dilday's many friends here. He left
Paducah five wears ago and became
che of the state managers for the
Equitable at Louisville. Although
the business was new to him. he en-
tered it with indomitable will and in.
vincible energy, and has succeeded

him $50, 600, during the five years he
has been in Louisville.
His new position is salaried one,
paying nearly $4,000 . year.
Mr.. Dilday's friends feel confident
that he will come mp to expectations,
and be rewarded with further ad.
vancement.
Another young man formerly in the
newspaper business in Paducah who
has, risen rapidly in insurance circles

A number Of local Christian En-
deavorers contemplate going to the
state convention this week at Gym

deavorers have had since the coven-
ton at Covington, and in many res.

of spring chickens and the beef trust
prices have no terror for them.
Mr.. Clarence +. Eberman, national
field secretary, will be heard for the
first time in Kentucky; the music,
rendered by large choir, will be
under the direction Of Mr.. Louis

ginia Hewett shafer of Louisville will
sing several of her best solos, among
which are Gounod's "Oh Divine Re-
deemer," and II Will Lay Ne Down
in Peace" by Ellis.

will be aptly treated, while Miss Mary
A. Finch, of Helena Station, superin-
tondent of the junior branch Of the
work, will furnish what is to some thf
best part Of the program in a study Of
little children.
Aside from the religious spirit there
is q social feature in these reunions.
The railroads have granted round
