The meetings l attend are
like being at a good old-fashion-
ed Methodist revival, because |
meet the good, honest farmers
and shake their horny hands.
We have song prayer, and then
we listen to one another
speak, and I'll tell you | have
listened to some of the best
speeches in the last two weeks |
ever heard. l think the pool in
the Stemming District Associa-
ton will be greater than ever
before.
"A great many stayed out last
year, on account of being rs per
cent. behind on the 1908 crop,
and the little tobacco buyers told
them they would never get it,
but as it has been paid they are
willing to come in. 1t would
never do for this organization to
go down, as it has caused edu-
cation instead of ignorance,
prosperity instead of starving,
and laughter instead of tears.
But. gentleman, let's go after
the grafters with sharp sticks
till we get rid Of them.

Piles. blackheads and all other diseases
OF the skin and scalp. He says that
not only do lis curative qualities make
it popular but also the fact that It is
a clean, liquid remedy for external
use. A great improvement over the
old style greasy salves and lotions
which are not only unpleasant to, use
but do not destroy the germ lise that
causes the disease. ZEMO draws the

them, leaving the skin clear and
healthy. Can be used freely on in

IN MEMORY

Benjamin F. Towery was borr
May 18th 1886. and died at hi:
home at Piney, Crittenden Co..
KY, March 8, 1910. A wife anC
nine children survive him J. P.

He professed faith in Christ at
the age of 10 years and lived a
consistent Christian life. He was
a great sufferer. For many
years he had been afflicted with
rheumatism, and the greater
part of the time was unable to
leave his chair, yet he bore his
affections with patience and was
always cheerful. Although in
terested in the success of his
friends and relatives, yet his
thoughts were turned from this
world to the world to come.
His last sickness was only a few
days in duration, He expressed
his regret at leaving behind his
devoted wife, who had nursed.
cared for and cheered him
through so many years of suf-
fering and seclusion, but was
perfectly resigned to his Mas
ter's will. He said to his friends
a short time before he died real
izing that death was nigh, Il
have fought a good fight and
have the faith and am prepared
to meet my Lord"
A good man is gone, but we
weep not as those who have no
hope" for we know that our
loss is his eternal gain, a place
in the home has been made va
cant, but as David said, I'VE
know where to go to find Him.
His funeral was preached by
Rev. J. F. Bumpus after which
MS remains were laid to rest in
the family graveyard.
Besides wife and children the
deceased leaves three brothers,

the pooling from all the counties,

very satisfactory shape on the
whole in the counties of Hender-

yet there are weak spots in each

ENCOURAGING SIGNS OF LIFE
Liberal Contributions In United

In spite of the financial depression
the offerings of the United States and
Canada for foreign missions increased
last year $500, 000 The increase OF in
come from the foreign field was even
more remarkable. being S1,360,00o.
The total gifts on the foreign field

4S per cent. of the total amount con-
tributed for foreign missions by the
Protestant churches of North America.
The increase of native converts last
year was 1864, or over $50 day.
The cumulative effects of the foreign
mission enterprise is shown by the
fact that 1t took 100 years to gain the
first million converts. The second
million were secured in IL years, and
they are now being added at the rate

SEES NEED Of
SAVING FORESTS
President Taft Is in Favor of
Forming Two Great
Reserves
POINT OF LEGALITY RAISED
WrangIe Over the Question Of Federal
or State Jurisdiction-Need Of
Leaders to Push Admin
istration Measures.

ington.-President Taft Is CIV
ing his support to the most recent bill
introduced into congress to provide
for creating great forest reservation
In the Southern Appalachians, and an
other smaller reservation in the White
mountains of New Hampshire. The
president thinks that there is nothing
In the constitution of the United
States which forbids the federal gov
ernment from taking over the owner
ship of forests which lie within the
borders of sovereign states
The president apparently bases his
belief in the constitutionality of fed
eral ownership of state forests in the
law which gives the general govern
ment supervision over navigable
streams. The presidents belief is, and
he Is said TO have the support of his
lawyer cabinet in the contention, that
the government has a right to control
those things which keep stream nav
lgable, ana among them the experts
say the forests stand first and fore
most When heavy rainfall comes
IN forest covered land, the roots of
the trees and the trees themselves
check the distribution of the water so
that 1t comes down the sides of the
mountain shed slowly, and as re-
suit the streams are kept at a nor
NAL depth. If the forests are cleared
away the water runs off all at once
and flood conditions ensue. to be fol.
lowed by periods OF drought.
Representative Weeks of Massachu-
sets introduced the bill which pro-
vides for forest reservation in Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina and
IN New Hampshire President Roose-
welt tried in every way that mental
and physical energy suggested to get
congress to sanction these forest res
ervations, but Mr. Roosevelt failed
and the present president is willing
TO attempt something that his prede-
cessor confessed he could not do. and
