The board of supervisors in ap-
propriating $50 to be divided in
to three prizes to be awarded in
the corn growing contest by the

wise thing, that will be worth
many, many times the cost in
that it will stimulate the youth
to grow larger crops of corn.
The one thing more than any
other that this country needs, is
that corn enough be raised to
supply home consumption.
Rev. J. E. Byrd, of Mt. Olive,
state Sunday school lecturer, de-
livered an entertaining and pol
ished lecture at the Baptist
church last week under the
auspices of the Ladies Aid So
Lciety. He described his trip to
Rome swhere he attended the
worlds Sunday school convention
going as the representative of
the Baptist Sunday schools, who
were entitled to the naming of
the delegates who was to enjoy a
trip awarded by the Sunday
School Times for the greatest
number of subscribers. A pleas
ant speaker, who seemingly car
ried his audience along with him
across the water, and whose
portrayal of the scenes visited,
and the events described, made
his hearers see and hear, as he
did while there, was only pos
sible to one endowed with gifts
few possess. Everyone who
fortunately attended is loud in
his praise.
