MASONIC OUTING
OBSERVATION OF ST, JOHNS
DAY AT WHITWELL BY
THE LODGES OF THE
VALLEY.

The Masons Of Sequachee valley cell
ebrated st. Johns Day Monday with
a grand outing at Whitwell, which was
attended by about 3, 900 people from all
parts of the valley.
At 10:30 am, , the Masons, 66 being in
line, marched from the Masonic Hall
to the grove on the crest of the hill in
the centre of the town, and there the
exercises were commenced.
DR.. ]. l.. Shirley was master of
ceremonies, and after an opening song
by choir under the leadership of
Miss Shirley, introduced Hon. D. T.
Layne, who made the address of well
come in felicitous style He made an
excellent address and left nothing un-
said to make the visitors feel welcome.
DIR. Shirley then introduced one
whom he styled a stranger. but when
the phiZ of the new conner lOomed up
to view, it proved to be none other
than Rev. J. A. Darr, of Jasper, who
proceeded to make witty discourse
which was thoroughly enjoyed. Rev.
Darr has considerable forensic ability,
together with pretty good stratum OF
humor, and when he gets up to talk
there is all sorts coming, from serious
to comic.
After Rev. Darr concluded his ad-
dress, which was in reply to the ad-
dress of welcome, Rev. J. o. Straley,
president of Emory and Henry College,
near Bristol, was introduced, who pro
ceeded to make an address that was
very practical and pointed. Rev. Stra'
ley is a very pleasing speaker, and.
while he let ripple of humor per
wade the prior portion of his address,
soon settled down to the solidness oi
things, and made clear and compre-
hensive address on Masonry and Mas
onic principles. He spoke for about
three-quarters of an hour to an assem-
blage, whose interest never tagged
and whose attention was centered on the
words which feel from the lips of a de
lightful speaker.
At the conclusion of Rev. Straley'
address, the big baskets piled ON th'
tables were opened, and many of the
people feasted in the greenwoods
while others availed themselves of thu
kind hospitality of friends or sough
the hotels.
Base ball was the attraction for tn
afternoon despite the violent win(
storm that ragged.

SHINE JUST WHERE YOU ARE.

Don't waste your time in longing
For bright impossible things;
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness of angel wings;
Don't spurn to be a rushlight,
Because you are not star,
But brighten some bit of darkness,
By shining just where you are.
There is need of the tiniest candle,
AS well as the garish sun;
The humblest deed is ennobled
When it is worthily done;
You may never be called to brighten
The darkened region far,
SO fill, for the day, your mission
By shining just where you are.
Just where you are, my brother,
Just where God bids you stand,
Though down in deepest shadow
Instead of the sunlit land;
You may carry brightness with you,
That no gloom or darkness can mar
For the light of Christ-like spirit
Will be shining just where You are.

ventilation. Unless in a severely cold
winter, the house can be heated by
use of ordinary heating stoves. In
more expensive houses and in case of
extreme cold system of hot water or
steam heating would undoubtedly be
advisable.
Good strong two, three or four year
old plants are used in forcing. The
plants to be used are dug in the fall
and, with their adhering soil, left in
the field and covered with enough soil
to prevent drying out. 1t is best to
leave them there until they have been
frozen through. About January. earlier
or later. as the case may be. the roots
still retaining their soil are brought
into the forcing house. They are set
or packed close together on the moist
dirt floor. Moist soil, preferably rich
one, is filled in about each plant, GOV
cring the crown slightly. After they
are once thus packed in they may not
need watering, but the roots and soil
should not be allowed to become dry.
Only strong. vigorous plants will pro
duce the large, thick stalks eighteen to
twenty inches high. When properly
grown, the forcing house product Is at
tractlve, of delicate color, tender and
of excellent flavor. After the plants
have produced this winter crop of
leaves they will have become exhaust
ed and are of little or no value.
