arrived in Padueah this morning.
A gentleman who has been active
in promoting the movement said this
morning:
"There are two forms OF the re-

sacred cantata, "Victory Divine"

Miss Virginia Newell, chairman of
the musical department. The cantata
made a strong impression on a num-
Der of the members of the Catholic
church, who heard it, and its nature,
as well as its brevity, would fit 10
admirably for the program of the
half-century celebration.
The Sisters of Charity. whose
parent body is the convent at Naza-
reth, KY, were in Paducah during
the civil war to nurse in the war
hospitals. After the war they set
tied here and have seen an unbroken
service. The personnel of the local
sisterhood has changed with the
years, but work has gone on and in
creased until the two fine buildings
at Fifth and Monroe streets stand as
a monument of their zeal.
Though the fiftieth anniversary Is
several weeks of yet. the church is
turning its thoughts toward the
event. and the celebration likely will
grow in Importance as the unique
record is more fully studied.

$50 delegates from ten counties de-

Passports were required for en-

that no information of the business

Its central location makes Paducah
the natural heart of the Farmers

remembered that the Farmers Union
will handle all the products of the

house facilities, and their value to the
city financially, are apparent.
Big Attendance.
No discount could be placed on the
attendance and interest in today S
meeting. which is doubly significant
considering the anxiety among the
farmers to use every fair day for
planting and other farm work. Graves

with McCracken god second. The
ten counties represented are: Graves
McCracken, Lyon, Grayson. Livings-

Hickman and Fulton.
The morning session which began
at 10 o'clock, was taken up by COM
mttee appointments and speeches.
The credentials committee was first
appointed and reported before the ad-
journment at noon. No delegate was
admitted who represented a county
union that is not fully paid up in
dues.

Most important was the appoint
