A New Church

Mr.. Editor: AT the request of
Rev. w. w. Hicks, in charge of the
Burke's Garden Circuit, l met him at
Mt. Olivet Church Friday, July 18th,
where he had been preaching for a
week. AT his request preached for
him at 8 p. M, then spent the night
in the splendid home of Brother Gill
dersleeve. The next morning, JULY
9th, found us on our way over the
mountain via Crabtree's Gap, and ov-
err to Green Valley in Bland county.
where we found still standing little
house where we attended quarterly
meeting held by the Rev. j. w.
Dickey forty four years ago last Feb
ruary. This is the home of Rev. John
A. Smith. He was a local preacher
of more than ordinary ability. In a
little cemetery nearby stands an hum
BILE marble shaft, placed there as a
mark of the love and esteem in which
he was held by his neighbors and the
church. His wife sleeps by his side.
Here we preached and labored Satur.
day and Sunday with pleasure and
satisfaction
By the help of the Lord, we estab-
lished new church at this point to
cost about twelve hundred dollars.
Brother Isaac Showers started the
contributions with $500, then less
sums from one hundred down, making
in all secured on the ground eight
hundred dollars. The plan is to set a
saw mill on the ground nearby to saw
the lumber This is a beautiful place
and noble people, and is now destined
to be strong hold for the church.
Bio. w. w. Hicks is in high favor
with his people-a good preacher and
man to make things happen.
Sunday night we came back to Mt.
Olivet where we had fiattering pros
poets for fine meeting, but for the
heavy rains, which are, however, a
great blessing to the community.
While in that community we had
the great privilege of being in the
home of the late w. N. Burton, who
lied nearly a year ago. He was a
good mansand is greatly missed by
lis family and neighbors, and the
hurch. He is gone from us to be
'ver with the Lord. ID. H. Carr. 1

the fathers and mothers consider that
what is good enough for the children
is not good enough for themselves?
This situation exactly exists in
number of communities in this coun-
try, and would look ridiculous if it
were not such serious thing. This
union of country and weak town
churches as well, ought to take place
speedy, but, perhaps never will,
until the members of these churches
get more religion, and feel more in
terest in trying to save men than in
building up particular sect. We
venture suggestion, that this ques-
ton should be brought before the
synods, conventions and boards, etc.
of the different denominations, and
have =. these make recommendation
They are doing this in Korea, Japan
and China, as Mr.. Preston and others
have told us recently. If this can be
done in these foreign fields why not
at home? Have we one policy abroad
and another at home? In union there
is strength.

Not Satisfied with the Committee
North Tazeweii. july N.

North Tazewell. July II.
Editor C. V. News:
That coming events cas- their sbad-
ows before, seems to have teen exem-
plified in the meeting of the Demo-
cratic county convention last Satur-
day. The "shadows' of 1912 seem to
have brooded over that conclave. and
for the first time in the history of the
party in this county there was a de-
clded interest in the make up of the
new committee and some log rolling
done to secure places on the official
roster. Can it be that the assumption
of power in the selection of postmas-
tiers by the Republican committee has
given cue to Democrats whose party
has held ever since Cleveland's time
that the selection OF these officials
should be absolutely determined by
the partons OF each office.
But sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof. The retention of the
votes gained in the recent election is
certainly the aim of our organization,
and how can we do this unless a solid
front is shown by the party, with its
record against trusts, combinations,
bosses and every other salient feature
OF the party which we oppose.
There should have been a complete
change in the committee, notwith.
standing the objection of members OF
the old committee and others. Many
OF these mistakes, however, can be
corrected by the election of county
chairman absolutely in accord with
Democratic sentiment and Democratic
measures. Let good counsels pre-
vail, however, in the selection of ar
active, able and disinterested success
sor to Chairman Higginbotham anc
all may yet be we'll.
Yours truly,
HARRY Nj. SMYTH.

About That Farm

Editor the News We all know
that Distinguishing charac teritsic
of our editor of the News is modesty.
What he knows about practical farm
ing, however, constitutes notable
exception. We have been wondering
at his reticence on this leading sub
ject. Heretofore we have been treat
ed each week, "a la Greedy" with
much advice, some excellent
as to proper methods, ETC., ETC., as to
how to make things agricultural
boom. Being at loss as to his ST.
lence just now, we made a visit to his
farm this a. M, and we no longer
wonder at the unwonted silence and
modesty lately observed, even on
the subject of alfalfa. First, we no
tice carefully cultivated corn, which
seems to be of new variety. Our
editor is great on experiments-as we
find corn that marks every division on
the measuring rule from six inches to
seven feet. all very hourishing and
very clean. Then, of course, we took
squint at that alfalfa lot. If our
editor farmer is ever loquacIous and
at home we know it is on alfalfa.
Wing like, he never enters the field
of improved methods in farming"
that he does not treat US to alfalfa
and so convincing does he grow it
that we are all convinced of the
monumental mistake we make in fail
ing to grow alfalfa patch. Attracted
by his unaccountable silence on his
pet product, as we said, we took a
look at his alfalfa lot, and well, it
is not our habit to hit fellow when
he's down, therefore we close this
appearance with hearty commentator
of silence as further evidence of his
modesty and by suggesting, deferen-
TALLY, two things-absolute eradica-
tion of weeds, and inocculation of
soil before sowing. A. j. Il.
The editor appreciates the kindly
criticism and in reply has this to say
The alfalfa was, like all young
grass, seriously injured by the drought
in its first year. Top dressing with
stable manure produced some weeds.
But the stand is good, and the second
crop has been cut, and the editor is
hopeful.
A to his corn-it is not "a new
variety" Our critic seems not to
know variety" when he sees it.
This variety has been grown in Taze-
we'll for years. 1t was planted in the
midst of the drought, a little later
than would have been but for waiting
for the crimson clover growing on the
land to bloom out before turning
down. The land was very dry wher
plowed except on bare places where
stable manure had been scattered
thick where corn shocks stood. The
corn had no rain for weeks and weeks
after planting, and came up very
badly. 1t is fine and furnishing now,
and promises a good crop. We appre-
ciate the advice of our friend and his
valuable suggestions as to incubation
Notwithstanding the fact, that he new
er grew stalk of alfalfa in his life,
and probably couldn't do so if he
tried.
