The Presbyterian Synod, which
met at Laurel Tuesday, and was
in session the greater part of the
week, had before it the consider
alton of several important ques-
tiOns, and the returning delegates
give interesting accounts of the
action of that body upon the
issues that were presented. The
leading question that excited
heated discussion and debate was
the proposal to remove the South
western University from Clarks-
vile to Atlanta, founding at the
latter place a University with an
endowment of 81 100000. Senti-
ment as to the adyisability of a
removal was divided, though a
majority of the clergy and ruling
elders seemed in favor of the
change, believing Atlanta offers
a better and larger field for edu-
cational work. However, the
Synod wisely concluded to hold
the matter in allegiance, and in
the meantime to send a commit
tee of three to confer with the
Atlanta Presbyterians who have
undertaken the work and who
will meet representatives of the
Southern SynOds on the 8th of
Decem Der in Atlanta. The com.
mittee appointed from this State
includes DR.. Chisholm, of NatcheZ;
DR.. HuddlestOn, of Oxford, and
Mr.. Calvin Wells, of Jackson;
Alternates, DR.. Jones, of Meri-
dian; DR.. Hillhouse. of Vicksburg;
Judge Boone, of Corinth. The
report of this committee, which
the Synod will either ratify or
object to, will be heard at later
date. The Presbyterian Female
College, located at Holly Springs,
was made a Syuodical School, and
our own Palmer Orphanage was
strongly endorsed. the Synod re
questing that the churchs devote
their Thanksgiving Offering to
this institution.
The initial visit of Bishop Theo-
dore BrattOn to Columbus has
been looked forward to by many
whose wish to know the success
sor of the lamented Bishop

a recognition of the spiritual and
intellectual force he has exerted
in the councils of the church.

FLOWERS FOR THE HOME.
They Add Greatly to It's attractive
ness and Are Necessary for
the Childrcn.

Homa should mean more than smell
ter There are other needs than those
OF the body. To stifle the love OF beauty
is to cut OF part of life; to gratity II
is to fulfill legitimate demand OF man =
nature. Where better seek to develop
beauty than in the home? Flowers aoo
much to the brightness OF the picture.
Every home should have them. The
farmer should not consider 1t Deneath
his dignity to aid in their care. me

ment of his cattle and his hens he
should not hesitate to give time to the

need flowers. The early home sur
roundings mean much. No later expert
ence can efface their influence from the
after-life. They cannot be made TOO
good, says the Southern Farm Maya
zine.
1t is easy to grow flowers. live think
otherwise, it is because we have never
tried or have tried to grow them in the
wrong way. To hoe up little patch
in the sod and Fill it in with "chip-dirt
or leaf-mold is not the way. Grass roots
appreciate good living as well as flow
er roots and are far more assertive-
Grown in this way results seldom repay
the effort.
Flowers may be grown for two pur-
poses, and the object should govern the
method. They may be grown to cut,
or they may be grown for their outdoor
effect. These two purposes need not
be wholly distinct. but are essentially
different. IL cut flowers are the princi-
pal object, grow them in the garden:
they will thrive much better there.
Then do not set OF single garden
corner and make q fancy raised bed
in which to confine them. Give them
good. broad rows. running from end
to end. where the wheelhoe can do the
work Of tillage. The rows should be al
least three feet apart, unless 1t be for
some very small plants, like candy

to crowd them into closer rows, where
they have no chance to develop their
individuality.

that grass and weeds do not encroach
