Changed

The annual convention OF the
Rockbridge County Sunday School
Association, to be held With the
Baptist congregation at Natural
Bridge. has been postponed from
the third Thursday and Friday, May
18th and 10Th, to one week later;
that is, TO Thursday and Friday,

and the members of that congrega
ton are making necessary arrange
ments for the entertainment OF dele
gates. Members of other denomi-
nations in the neighborhood, as has
been the custom in the past, will
render assistance in entertaining.
These meetings are interdenomina-
tional and all churches feel free to
take part.
The program committee, with Rev.
W. d. Eye Of Fairfield as chairman,
has nearly completed most excel
lent program for the convention. In
q communication with reference 10
the program Mr.. Eye says:
ut is the purpose of the conven-
ton this year to specialize the fol

The annual meeting in Richmond
hast week of the Virginia Sunday
School Association was largely at
tended, and helpful and interest
ing program was rendered. Among
the speakers were some OF the fore
most Sunday School workers Of the
country.

ed members Of the executive com
mitIee for a term of two years.
The convention accepted an in
vltation from Harrisonburg to nol'

Trouble Yet to Mr.. fuckers Eyes
Under a Richmond date line of
April 25th, the following notice ap-
peared in the daily press:
Ex-Congressman Harry ST.
George Tucker, who opposed Judge
Mann in the last campaign for the
gubernatorial nomination, is now in
Washington, where he recently IN
derwent an operation for c. tarsct of
the eye. The operation was sue
cessful, but the restoration of Mr..
fuckers sight has been somew hat
delayed by a slight inflammation
which set in. He will be able to
see well, however. in tie course of
q few weeks.
Mr.. Tucker has been peculiarly
unfortunate so far as his eyes are
concerned. About year ago he
was compelled 10 undergo an opera
ton similar to that he has just pass
ed through, and he had hardly be-
gun to feel comfortable before he
realized that the other organ Of
sight would have to be treated.
During this troublous period be
has been able to do but little in thu
way of work and his misfortune ha.
prevented his active participation
in politics.
1T is probable that Mr.. Tucker
physicians will recommend that h

declined to fill either form. both OF

have graduated from the Oakley
