HONORED RETIRING PASTOR
Many Friends Assemble Tuesday
Night to Pay Respects to DR..
Ingram and Family.

One Of the most tender and
happy events in the social life Of
Snyder was a farewell reception
given last night at the Baptist
parsonage to Rev. A. b. Ingram
and family, who are soon to leave
our city.
The affair was planned by mem
bers of the Ladies Aid Society
and a very large company Of
friends had been invited to pay
respects TO the retiring pastor and
his family.
DIR. Ingram has been pastor OF
the Baptist church here for three
years and is deservedly popular
with all our people and it gave
pleasure to his friends to meet and
give expression Of their esteem.
II was a company of mutual
friends and everyone entered hear
tily into the entertainment.
The guests were greeted by a
line of receiving ladies and intro
duced to the honorees and guests
and then came series of infor-
NAL meetings and assurances Of
good will.
Appropriate talks were made by
Rev. j. w. Hunt, Mr.. T. f. Baker
Judge, c. G. Higgins, Fritz r.
Smith and others all expressive
of appreciation. of Brother In
gram and family and regretting
the turn in affairs that is taking
them away from us.
There were readings and music
vocal and instrumental and a de-
licious salad course and punch
served.
DIR. Ingram was the recipient Of
a handsome pair of cuff buttons,
on which the word Snyder" had
been engraved.
This was a gift from a number
of his young gentlemen friends.
Miss Grace was lovingly remem
bered by the members of the Phil
athea class in the gift of a pref
ty stick pin.
Every guest registered in hand
made registers, to be kept by the
departing friends.
The affair had been well ar
ranged and the preacher was
made to feel good over so many
hearty expressions of friendship
and interest.

The Purpose al the JubiIee

The Jubilee MEETING will be held
Thursday, Nov. % at 3 p. m.
The movement was born in the
hope that the great mass of Chris
tian Womanhood in this country
instead of the ten per cent might
become enlisted in the missionary
enterprise. To this end emphasis
was placed upon the dissemina-
ton Of missionary literature on
the ground that "what one is
least up on, she is very apt to be
most down on.
This undoubtedly will furnish
the greatest opportunity ever Civ
en- the women Of the Southern
church to draw together in fell
lowship, to storm the ranks of
prejudice and indifference and
to deepen their own sense of re
sponsibility and dependence up
on God to lift up new standards
of living and giving.
God grant that we may not sin
against him by failing in fervent
prayer for the fall jubilee

To the WOrshlptul Nardens anu
Brethren Of Scurry Lodge, No.
FOG. A. #. & A. NJ.
Your committee on Resolutions
beg leave to submit the following
Whereas the Supreme Grand
Master in his providence has seen
fit to remove from our midst our
beloved brother II. J. Camp. call
ing him from labor in this Terres
trial lodge to refreshments in that
Glorious and Celestial Lodge a.
hove where the Supreme Archi-
tect of the Universe presides.
Where there is no sickness nor
sorrow, pain nor death.
Where all.good Masons hope at
last to arrive by the aid of the
theological ladder which Jacob in
his vision, saw extending from
earth to Heaven, the three princi-
pal rounds of which are denomi-
mated Faith, Hope and Charity.
Brother Camp was born in Ten
nessee, October -, A. d., 1880,
was married to Miss Julia A. War
rem of Sparta, Tennessee in 1886.
Moved to Texas and settled in
Scurry county in 1881. Was made
Mason in Tennessee and died on
October u, 1911.
Brother Camp was quiet and un
assuming in all his ways, agreea-
bic in business transactions true
friend and always had smile for
those who greeted him. Ever rea-
dy to help the distressed, but very
reluctant in speaking OF his chart
ties. He was a true Mason and
tried TO practice out of the lodge
the lessons inculcated in it. Broth
er Camp was eighty years old and
had been very feeble for some
time.
His loving wife having preced-
ed him in 1901 TO that undiscover-
ed country. from whose bourne
no traveller ever returns. The
county has lost a loyal citizen,
the Lodge a faithful member and
the craft a true brother, his chill
dren loving father, for he was
kind, loving and affectionate as
father and obliging as a neigh
Dor.
Yet, we should bow to the will
of the Almighty and Eternal God,
remembering that our life is but
a span in length, and hoping that
when the awful moment shall ar
rive that we are about to quit this
transitory scene, the enlivening
prospect of his mercy may dispel
the gloom of death
Therefore, be it resolved: that
we extend our heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved family and that
these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes of the Lodge, printed
in the paper and the family of the
deceased brother be furnished
copy Cf the same.

Reduction in Wool Tariff.

The Democratic House will re-
duce the tariff on raw wool by
one-half. This is carrying out
the promise contained in the Ma
tional Democratic platform Of
1908, which was that ''gradual
reductions should be made in
such other schedules as may be
necessary to restore the tariff to
a revenue basis,
The consideration OF the reve-
nue. needs of the government was
what caused the bulk Of the DEM
ocratic majority to decide upon
cutting the raw wool duty in two.
The tax on raw wool last year
hroughtS21 900, ,000into the treas
ury and the government cannot
afford to give up that sum while
there is no income tax.
The Democrats will strike every
ore of the iniqultous jokers from
schedule X and no duties on
manufactures of wool will be
above 90 per cent ad valorum.
This means in effect sweeping
Production OF the tariff tax on
woolens, blankets and all articles
composed in whole or in any part
of wool.
The tax collected on manufac-
tured wool last year amounted 10
$40, 100000. rr'he average rate
under the Payne Aldrich law
amounts to the equivalent Of &c
per cent ad valorsm, and in the
Democratic bill this rate will be
decreased one-half. This reduc.
ton Of duty should have ths
effect Of both increasing the rev.
enues and reducing the cost O.
woolens to the consumers.

The Missouri Experiment Sta
tionihas been conducting experi-
ments with alfalfa on the various
soils of the state for q number OF
years and as result Of these ex-
periments the following brief
summary of the essentials to sue
cess are given.
/. It takes good land to grow
alfalfa without considerable care.
Web drained creek and river bot
toms as well as ali well drained
deer rich uplands will grow it
readily where it is properly han
died but for average to thin lands
considerable care is necessary to
success.
2. On rich lands alfalfa may
be spring sown, but on average
to thin lands fall or late summer
sowing is more certain OF per-
manent stand. From the middle
Of August to the middle of Sep
tember is best for central and
north Missouri, but in the south
third Of the state it is best to SOW
from the middle OF September to
the middle of October.
8. The seed bed must be well
prebared. For spring sowing it
should be plowed deed and thor
oughly worked down. For fall
sowing the land should be plowed
early and well settled below with
a fine seed bed prepared on the
surface.
4. Inoculation of the uplands
which have never grown alfalfa
before is beneficial and usually
necessary to success. This is
especially true in regions where
sweet clover does not grow. In
occulation is best accomplished
by scattering on 200 or 300 pounds
per aore Of soil from an old alfalfa
field and narrowing in imme-
diately
5. Lime is beneficial on many
south. Missouri soils and ii is often
necessary to success. 1t should
be applied at the rate OF from 3Oot
to 1000 pounds per acre in any
convenient form.
6. On land of medium and poor
fertility cultivation with a disk oil
spring tooth harrow followed by
a drag harrow is necessary fol
best results after the second and
thiri cuttings.
Z. On lands OF medium to pool
fertility the application of 10 tc
10 tons of manure before plowins
is necessary for best results, ToE
dressing with manure each fall
four to six loads per acre, is yer,
beneficial unless the manure con
tains mach grass seed. Foxtail
crab grass and bluegrass are th'
worst enemies to alfalfa.
s. The application OF 2O'
pounds per acre of bone meal oil
all lands of medium to poor fer
tility is very helpful in securing
a permanent stand.
8. On all lands Of medium Z
poor fertility q man must be will
ing to give considerable time an
care to the preparation of tn
lands, seeding aud cultivation
he is to achieve success.
10. The use Of good stron
terminating seed, free Of dodder
