Better Horses in Tennessee.

The State Fair pony show, which last
year was one of the best of the kind ever
gotten together, is going to surpass its
predecessors in every way. The judges
of the 1908 entries, who are also re-
tanned each year for the great Madison
Square Garden show, pronounced the
pony classes the very best they had
ever seen anywhere, and they have come
mighty near seeing them all.
The prize lists have been very mate.
rally increased and Mr.. w. G. Hersig
superintendent of the Horse and Pony
Department, is enthusiastically at work
preparing to make an even better show
ing than last year.
Those in position to know say that
as result of the State Fair the inter
est in horsenesh has increased wonder
fully in Tennessee since 1906, and the
standard of quality in the young stock
foaled since the 1906 State Fair is a very
decided improvement over former years
The people of the South are being led
to appreciate the money value of good
breeding of live stock.
Poultry Institute at State Fair.
One of the most helpful features Of
the Poultry Department at the Tennes
see State Fair this year will be the lin
stitute" conducted at certain hours each
day by the noted judges who will make
the awards. In front of the poultry dis
play entrance will be erected a platform
and here great many classes will be
judged-the judges meanwhile explaining
the good and bad points of the fowls un
der consideration.
Some of Americas very best judges
have already agreed to offciate and they
are all men who can tell the why anC
the wherefore of every decision they
make-they will tell causes of the de
fects scored against each bird thu
judged and will give some idea of how
such defects may be avoided.
Dairying Demonstrations at State Fair
A complete dairy with all modern ap
planes, showing every process, from thu
actual milking of the cows to the prepa
ration of the butter, is one of the bes
teaching-exhibits at the Tennessee Stat,
Fair at Nashville, September 2O-25.
The exhibition and operation of milk
ing machine, using a small herd of fin
cows loaned by Nashville diaries, creates
great deal of real interest not onl!
among the dairymen, but all others whit
are interested in the march of progress
and in labor-saving methods.
The testing of milk is another featur
of this department, while demonstra
tions in the best methods of handling
and refining cream, of butter making
and of other manipulations of dair,
products are hourly features.
These demonstrations are in charge o
ex-students and instructors in the Uni
versity of Tennessee Agricultural Col
lege, and they make one of the fair
most beneficial features.

New Presbyterian Church for TiOnesta

AT the congregational meeting of the
Presbyterian church Monday evening
the question of erecting a new ediice on
the plans submitted by Architects Charles
d Bailey of Oil City, was unanimously
decided in the affirmative. The meeting
was organized by the election of Judge
Samuel ID. Irwin as chairman, and Mr..
A. G. Brown, secretary. The minutes of
the last meeting of the congregation, June
30, were read and approved. At this
meeting the trustees of the church were
appointed a committee to receive SUBJ
scriptions toward a building fund, with
instructions to report at the next called
meeting. This committee, through its
chairman, A. b. Kelly, reported that
subscriptions amounting to nearly s., 200
had been pledged and enough more was
in sight to warrant the congregation in
going on with the work. The report was
so encouraging that a motion to appoint a
building committee with full authority TO
proceed with the letting of the contract
a. hh'phihB u OullCc, was uLhLlIuOuk-
ly adopted. That committee was an
nounctd and is composed of the following
persons; A. B. Kelly, Charles Clark. w.
f. Killmer, A. C. Brown, G.. W. Robin
son, and s., S. Sigworth. The first three
named are already trustees of the church.
The building committee announced that
1t would proceed at once with the nego-
tiations and hoped TO be able to submit
plans and specifications within the next
ten days, so that the contract could be let
at the earliest possible moment. With
this understanding the meeting was ad-
journed.
The plans as contemplated by the archi-
tects have been on exhibition at the
church for some time and have been very
favorably commented upon by all who
have examined them. They contemplate
a complete transformation and enlarge
ment of the present ediice into a modern
structure, capable of seating comfortably
nearly seven hundred people, which it is
thought will be ample for years to come.
The walls will be of brick veneer with
stone trimmings, and, judging from the
perspective view given with the plans
the new ediice will be a very handsome
structure, strictly modern in all its APP
pointments. The church is to be con-
graduated on the vim and enthusiasm
with which it has taken hold of the pro-
ject before it.

Two Barns Destroyed by Lightning.

During the very severe electrical storm
which passed over this section of the
country last Thursday evening about
nine o'clock the barn of George Edmis.
ton, near J%ohnlowen, Washington town
ship, Clarion county, and that of M. j.
Sandrock, near Lickingville, in the same
township, were struck by lightning and
totally destroyed by the fire which fol-
lowed the bolts. The Edmiston barn was
a structure S0x4O feet, with shed attached,
and with the barn were burned a set of
harness, wagon, binder, hay fork, two
tons of hay, eight bushels of buckwheat
and twelve bushels of oats. A chicken
coop was also burned, but all but one of
the fowls were saved. A buggy and grain
drill were saved from the barn. Mr.. Ed
miston's loss will be close to $500, on
which he carried an insurance of $500.
Mr.. Edmiston is peculiarly unfortunate
as to losses by storms, his house having
been struck by lightning some years ago
and badly damaged.
lho cduuIOch DdIu was u me, large
structure, built on the bank plan. A
wagon, corn shredder, some chickens, a
calf, aud a lot of hay, straw and grain
were destroyed with the barn. Mr..
Sandrock, who was at home alone when
the fire started, was enabled to save his
horses and all the cattle except the calf.
He placed his loss at about 81, 500, on
which he had an insurance of 81 900.
The reflections from both these fires
were plainly visible here and caused
considerable speculation as TO their loca-
ton, but definite information on the sub
ject was not received until the following
morning. 1t was first noticed about 900
and the fires did not appear to die out
until nearly ll:00. Residents of Tylers-
burg declare that the electrical storm and
rain was the most severe that they had
experienced in years.
