While an exhibit Of this kind means
considerable work, " would be a big

would do the proper thing to go
ahead and arrange for such an ex-
hibii. The other business men of Vol

do their part { o make such an exhibit
a good one and a credit TO this To-

The new school house is beginning

bell tower is placed on he top of

can be to it is that is hardly large

All the larger cities in this state
are continually trying TO boom their
towns and increase their population.
Now it looks more reasonable to the
Herald that 1t would be better to get
new settlers on the farming lands and
increase the population of the sur
rounding country TO create new wealth
to support the towns and then the
towns would necessarily grow.
The town people do not create new
wealth while in an agricultural
state like South Dakota the farmers
do.

Tuesday afternoon Carl Hoff,
brought a sample Of dent corn to the
Tribune office that is practically out
of the way of frost, and will be en-
tirely beyond harm in a week or
more. From what the editor Of the
Tribune has been able to learn from
observation and inquiry this locality
has the best outlook for a magnifi-
cent yield of corn of any section in
the northwest. All that is needed
now is two weeks OF good hot weather
and the crop will be the best eve
raised here.

sEvERAL MEN HAVE BEEN MEN,
TONED FOR PRESIDENT OF

SCHOOL.


DR.. D. B. Purinton, president Of the
West Virginia University at the an
nual commencement exercises this
morning, announced his resignation as
president Of the school, same to take
effect July 81, 1911. Previous 10 the
commencement this morning this res,
ignation had been placed before the
Board of7Regents and accepted. This
announcement comes as a great sur.
prise as 1t had not been generally
known that such step would be TAX.
en-. The Board Of Regents accepted
the resignation with much regret. DIR.
Purinton has been connected with this
institution for a number of years and
under bis direction the school has seen
remarkable growth aud prosperity and
1t is learned with regret not only by
the Board Of Reegnts but by the en-,
tire State that DR.. Purlnton has seen
fit to resign from the position OF Presi-
dent Of the State Universally.
DR.. Purinton gave as his reasons for
resIgnlng that he had held the position
for a long time and that he thought 1t
best for the interests Of the school
that he be replaced by younger
man. DR.. Purinton will remain with
the institution as Professor of Philos'
ophy and will therefore not sever his
connection With the university. Dr.
Purinton is a native born and loyal
West virginian and the State is glad
that he will still remain within hel
borders.

IEV. SANNOES
RECEIVES CALL
FROM GRIFFIN
tlRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF
THAT CITY, WANTS LOCAL
MINISTER.
as He has Not Yet Been Officially
Notified, Rev. Sammons Has Not
Made announcement as to Wheth-
er or Not He VIII Accept

Ihe congregation of the First Bap-
''st church of Griffin, at meeting
ed few days ago, decided to ex
ttrd a call to Rev. ]. e. Sam
mons, of this city, who has been pas-
'or Of the local Baptist church for
eVoral years, and who Is one of the
ncst popular ministers in the city.
'nasmuch as Mr.. Sammons has not
vet been officially notified that. the
call has been extended TO him, he has
'nadc no lntimation as 70 whether or
not ne will accept, but it Is known
hat the members of his CONGREGATION
md the people of the city generally
viii insist upon lis remaining as
'1stor Of the local church. Rev.
sammons is one of the rest known
ma most popular ministers in the
state and. is acllpowledged as a read-
er among the members OF ti'e state
BAPTIST association. He is unusual
ly popular among the members of
lis congregation and the people of
the city generally, and they are all
in4ulging in tie hone that he will de-
cliTe the Griffin call
The Griffin Herald, In announcing
rfat the call had been extended, says:
Acting upon the recommendation
of special committee, after the usu-
al Sunday morning services at the
First Baptist church, the members
Vofed to call Rev. J. e. Summons, of
BlHnswick, as their pastor.
IT was generally conceded during
the week that Mr.. Sammons would
he the choice OF the church. there.
fore, the election of yesterday did
rot come as a complete surprise. &.
MI. Sammons VIII ;1e officiallH
noified of the action of the GriffiK
church probably during this week,
and should he accept the call, it'
would be as late as February before,
DE could assume his duties here. az
The affairs of his present charge des
mand hts time and attention unfit
tha. time.
Supplying the First Church Of
Griffin with a permanent pastor Is q
natter of general interest, and since
it tecame known that DIR. Acrea
would be compelled to give up HIS
church on account OF ill health, mem.
bers Of all denominations in Griffin
hfve manifested an unatated inter-
est in the matter of selecting his
successor. n
Tho interest was made more in
tense by the fact that this church has
lts own peculiar work to accomplish
in etrengt3 ening the moral forces Of
he city, and it has realized the ne
ceseity of man not only of moral
strength and oratorical ability, but
one who possesses physical strength
to withstand the strenuous duties re-
cnircf ty t7is large church. In Mr..
SammOns, tie members believe they
have found man who can ably full
fill the requirements.
This comes as quite compli-
ment to Mr.. Sammons, as he was se-
Icctcd from among a large number
Of the ablest and most eloquent di-
vines Of the state, and should he ac-
ccpt, Griffin would indeed be fortu-
mate in securing his services"

Returns from the outside districts
will not be received until today, but

voted independently. and II the cleo
tion IL lost in one district and carried
