The Farmers Meeting.

The writer deeply regretted that
he was prevented by unavoidable
circumstances from attending the
farmers meeting that was held in
the court house Saturday. We re.
gret the enforced absence because it
was our purpose to report the excel
lent addresses somewhat in detail
for the benefit of The Advertiser
readers, and, 700, because we per-
sonally feel the need in our own
limited farming operations of such
information as Mr.. Smith and Col.
Watson are capable of giving. We
have heard much favorable COM
ment upon the admirable addresses
of these two gentlemen. The meet.
ing was presided over by Mr.. P. N,
Lott, the county agent of the farm
demonstration work.

Court Proceedings.

The fall term of the sessions
court convened Monday morning
with the Hon. R. w. Memmingel
as presiding Judge. Solicitor Tim;
norman and all of the other court
officials were promptly in their
places, except Stenographer 0. b.
Anderson who was detained in CO.
lumbia on account of the illness of
his little child at the hospital. Mr..
Wingard of Lexington is acting as
stenographer.
Judge Memminger made only a
brief charge to the grand jury but
what he said was timely and effect
i've. He urged rigid enforcement
of the vagrant law and impressed
upon the grand jurors the impor-
lance of a fearless and faithful dis
charge of their duty.
The grand jury found true bills
under the following indictments:
Milo and Sump Hendrix, disturb
ing religious worship.
Grant Calliham, larceny.
J. Perry Brown, murder.
Sic Holloway, murder.
Fred Daniel, murder.
John Jeter, assault and battery
with intent TO kill and carving
concealed weapon.
Alex Jones, murder.
The first case to go to the jury
was that of Geo. Collier, indicted
for seduction. A verdict of guilty
was rendered.
Stump and Milo Hendrix pleaded
guilty to the charge of disturbing
religious worship and were sentenced
to pay a fine of of $4,000 each. The
fines were paid.
Grant Calliham pleaded guilty Of
larcency and was fined $50 which
was also paid.
Mr.. J. Perry Brown was tried
for killing a neg,o and was acquitted.
The defendant was represented by
Thurmond & Nicholson and the
State by Solicitor Zimmerman.
rhe court is engaged at this
time, Tuesday afternoon, with the
trial of Sic Holloway who is indict-
ed for murder. The State is repre-
sented by the Solicitor and the de-
fendant by Thurmond & Nicholson.
The Grand jury completed itS
work and was discharged yesterday
afternoon.
1t is probable that the criminal
docket will. be cleared by Thursday
night.

Death of Mrs. E. J. Minis.

Her mortal body reposes peace
fully in yonder cemetery be-
meath profusion of lovely floral
tributes and her beautiful spirit is
with Jesus in the home beyond the
sky, where peace and joy and
bliss reign eternally. With COM
plete resignation, such as is born
only of an abiding faith in Him
who doeth all things well, Mrs. E.
J. Minis gave up her life in the ear
ly watch of Sunday morning. Know
ing that the end was slowly, never
theless surely, approaching, all of
her loved ones were with her. Mrs.
Minis chief concern, as she braveiy
and in full consciousness faced the
transition from eartn to heaven, was
not the fear of death but the separa-
ton from those whom she loved. 1t
was her desire to live for them and
their happiness.
For several years past Mrs. Minis
condition has been one of steady
physical decline and for six months
or more her suffering has been In
tensely acute. But she bore it all
with patience and beautiful Chris
tian fortitude. Throughout her long
illness she constantly received the
most devoted attention from loved
ones. AS if possessed of super-hu-
man strength, those nearest and
dearest to her seemed never, under
the greatest stress and strain, to
tire in their thoughtful and affec-
tionate ministrations. Everything
too that is known to science and
medical skill was invoked to restore
health and strength but in its stub
born resistance the malady, yielded
to nothing. God had called her up
higher and no human agency could
stay or annul the summons.
From early childhood Mrs. Minis
was a devout member OF the Metho-
dist church, always being actively
and prominently identified with
every department of church work.
particularly with those things that
were fostered by the ladies. In her
church, AS in the community life, the
loss resulting from her death is ir-
reparable. But in the home which
she loved SO well, where her deyo-
ton to those dearest to her was as
sincere and tender as it was beauti.
full, is where Mrs. Minis will be
missed most. May His comforting
presence be constantly with Lei
husband, her two daughters and lit
tie son!
The funeral was conducted from
the Methodist church Sunday after,
noon by her pastor, Rev. L. D. Gil
lespie.

they say that he plays with the same
wonderful ability of any of his pre-
ceding years. 1t is to be hoped that
the people will respond in the great

committee that their efforts are APP
preciated, which will doubtless lead
to other recitals in the future.

PIPE ORGAN RECITAL
BIG MUSICAL Event
CLARENCE EDDY, REGARDED AS
THE LEADING ORGANISE OF
THE COUNTRY, WILL PLAY
IN MITCHELL.

A pipe organ recital in Mitchell is
a rarity in these days, but 1t is hop
ed to make them decidedly popular
in the future. Since the installation
of the new organ in the Methodist
church two recitals have been given,
and both have been literally patron
lied. One does not learn to appre-
ciate the great beauty Of a pipe. or
gan at one hearing nor at two. for
something new is developed at each
recital, and an organ that has as
wide a range as the Methodist organ
can be heard any number of times
without getting all there is in it.
The music committee of the church
has been able to secure the persence
of Mr.. Clarence Eddy, of New York,
to give a recital at the church on
Monday evening, March 10. That 1t
will be a grand one there is no ques-
ton, and the church should be packed
to the utmost. 1t was very fortunate
that Mr.. Eddy could be secured while
making a western tour of the coun-
try, and he comes this far out of the
way to play for the people of this
city. Mr.. Eddy enjoys a national
reputation as an organist. having
