Sunday School Convention.

A Sunday School convention or church
conference on Sunday School evangel-
ism was held at the auditorium in Hol-
yoke on Saturday and Sunday under
the direction of John C. Carman, State
Superintendent.
The Saturday sessions were not as
well attended as the importance of the
service derserved but was quite inter
esting and instructive.
Sessions were held Sunday afternoon
and evening and the room was well
filled, some having to stand at the
evening session. Those who took part
in the services were, John C. Carman,
j. 7. jenkins, Prof. Stevenson, s. S.
Worley, p. Zimmerman and G. L. Ruli-
son.
The services were very interesting
and undoubtedly did much good in
awakening more enthusiasm in the
Sunday School work of the county.

Omaha Corn Show.

o. c. Zingg returned Monday from
Omaha where he went with George
King to help arrange the Phillips county
exhibit at the corn show. He says they
found on reaching Omaha that the
building to be occupied by the corn
show was not ready for the arrange
ment Of the exhibits and would not be
before the first Of this week. He says
the Phillips county corn exhibit is not
nearly as good as it might have been
II the farmers who have raised good
corn had brought in good samples Of 1t
for this exhibit. This is certainly to be
regretted. for the very best corn in the
county should have been sent to Omaha
for the corn show. Our people should
take more interest in these big fairs
for they give us chance to let the
people know what can be done in Phil
lips county in the line Of the production
OF grain and this means n great deal to
the people of the county in more ways
than one.

Denver University.

wish first, in behalf of the company,
to thank the people Of Holyoke for the
very cordial reception accorded US last
evening at the hall. We will always
carry with us pleasant memories of our
visit among you and hope sometime to
come again
Now wish to make few statements
concerning the university, its faculty
and student body.
Our institution founded by Governor
Evans in territorial times, became due
to the panic of 1893, deeply involved in
debt is now absolutely free from in
cumbrances.
The present prosperous condition is
due to the heroic and untireing efforts
of our present chancellor, Henry Agus-
tus Buchtel, who took hold of the work
when there was debt of $3.50, 900. Not
one man in thousand would have at
tempted the task, but he, fully realiz-
ing what he had to do, grappled the
monster, laid him low and buried him
forever. All praise to our Chancellor.
Our student body has made wonder
full strides in the last few years, but
this years increase has been most
phenomenal. In the liberal arts de-
partment alone there are about 300 men
students, about 200 of whom are fresh
men. In the whole university about
600 new students.
We have now in service 160 profes
sors and instructors and more united
band of professors you cannot find any.
where.
Let me thank you once again for your
enthusiastic reception accorded US, and
hope that we may soon have the pleasure
of meeting Holyoke audience again.

Letter From Mobile.
EDITOR SsArE HHRALD, Dear Sir:

EDITOR SSATE HHkALD, Dear Sir:
Mrs. ]. W. Webermeier left Holyoke
Wednesday a. m. 10th of Nov. 1909, ar
irving in Mobile the 18th just at twilight
and found the beautiful southern city
already sglow with many colored cleo
trio lights. She received warm well
come from many friends and loved ones
and was taken to the home of sister.
Great was her surprise on awakening
in the a. M to behold the beautiful
flowers in full bloom, roses and honey
suckles and others too numerous to
mention.
After staying until the 14th in the
city sightseeing, she went to the little
village of Creola, l6 miles north of Mo-
bile, to visit her old home and parents
who were greatly surprised at the un-
expected visit.
AS usual good news travels fast and
her other sister and two brothers and
her many friends were soon informed
of her arrival and rushed to see her.
She spent pleasant days at
home with parents, brothers and sisters
and joining in the orange gathering, 3
and bushels being gathered from one
tree.
She then went with crowd of loved
ones on visit to Bayou La Batre down
on Mobile Bay where they boarded a
lovely little launch named Helen,
so pretty and white in the bright warm
sunshine, and went way down near Ala
Porte, fishing as they went. Good luck
they had and lots of oysters, crabs and
fish were caught.
After dainty lunch was eaten they
all strolled around the pebbly shore and
gathered little shells for souvenires for
herself and friends in Holyoke,
Bayou La Batre is very beautiful
little village situated right near the
coast, of about IS, 900 inhabitants. Most
of the working people make their living
by fishing and getting oysters. After
3 days visit there, she came again
through Mobile to her mothers where
many more delightful trips will be plan
ned for her pleasure.
As it has been II years since she was
here, she find many changes have taken
place. As there have been large steem
mills put in. one of them giving en-
ployment to over $50 men.
Truck farming has also begun here as
only a few days ago car load of Gu
cumbers and green peas were shipped
away from here. She is greatly pleas.
ed at the improvements and says she
wishes she could stay a few weeks lon
ger to enjoy eating the strawberries
which will soon be ripening here. But
Xmas is at hand and she is expected
home for Xmas with her loved ones
here. so her stay is drawing to a close
rs she will leave for her western home,

friends both old and new.A-A Friend.
