pleasure to certify to the character
of the Rev. John Lucas, because [
reared him. I bought him when he
was in his seventh year from Mr.
Thomas Chaffin of Taliaferro County
in 1888. I kept him until 1852 and
gave him to my daughter Martha
Reid Hardaway, the wife of Mr.. Jas.
l.. Hardaway, to whom he belonged
until he was freed, 1865. I desire to
say for him that he has been faithful
to every trust, honest and loyal al
ways and truthful to a marked de-
gree. In all his ways he has been
an upright conscientious Christian,
endeavOring to the best of his ability
to walk in the footsteps of his Lord
and Master. He was licensed Ito
preach in June 1869, since which time
he has, in. his humble way, been
working in the Masters vineyard,
going about doing what good he
could. John is one Of the faithful
few old slaves that are left to us
always the white mans friend"
Mr.. P. M. Hill, the ordinary of
Warren County, says that Uncle John
has been preaching for a long while
and now he wishes that the white
people will hear him and by that
means encourage him and help hold
up his hand in this, which may be his
last effort to reach and help his peo-
pie.
Uncle John is one of the land
marks of good old time. He feels
that he is getting to the end of his
journey and that he has a message
to deliver, and when he speaks at
Thomson, Crawfordville, Norwood or
any of the places around here, we
hope he will have a large and atten-
tive congregation. He will be at
Thomson, Ga. Saturday, April 8th.

FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP AND THOSE
WHO WANT HELP.

About year ago the Sunny South Brotherhood
was born. 1t very little company at first,
but it has grown until today it spreads over all
the South and has friends in nearly every State
in the Union. We have done some good; have
helped to make few sad lives more bearable;
have given the youngsters, and perhaps some of
the older people, little to think of besides them
selves and their work or play.
Now for the coming year want to try an
other plan which if carried out successfully
and it be done by the help of friends
will prove perhaps of larger practical use and of
wider benefit than any work that the Brotherhood
has heretofore done. The suggestion is this, and
we would be glad to know what our friends think
of it,

BETTER THAN SPANKING

Spanking does not cure children of
bed-wetting. There is a constitutional
cause for this trouble Mrs. M. Sum-
lners, Box $50, South Bend, Ind, will
send free to any mother her successful
home treatment, with full instructions.
Send no money, but write her today If
your children trouble you in this way.
Don't blame the child, the chances are
it can't help it. This treatment also
cures adults and aged people troubled
with urine difficulties by day or night.

BY DADDY jim

Sometimes man writes to us saying that he
wants man on his farm, lady says she
needs some help in her household The ordinary
way Of securing this help by advertising does not
seem to bring the desired results Sometimes men
write to us who want jobs Girls and women who
forced by hard necessity to go to work write
to us to ask where they find it and be we'll
taken care of and protected Sometimes people
say they have homes for orphans and sometimes
friends Of orphans will write to us telling of lit
tie tots who need home.
The plan is to bring these two classes Of peopIe
together-the people who want and the people
who need. We don't propose to run an employ
ment agency, but feel that we are in a posi-
ton to help many man, woman child who
needs not immediate financial assistance, clothes,
or food, but the means Of obtaining these and
simply seeks the opportunity to work for them.
Just to try the experiment suppose we do this:
Let anyone who needs help the farm or around
the house, drop us line, and let those who know
OF people that are really in need of work-not
the great army of the unemployed, but the class
Of white people who through misfortune or other
causes cannot make living on the land or at
their regular occupation, and find difficulty in
getting other work to do
There are many of these who don't know how to
get a job. There are often members of large
families for whom there is not enough work in
their own neighborhood but who might easily
lind work elsewhere, if they only knew how to get
it.
Then there are the young ones, the children
and the orphans am sure we find homes
for these if we try. It's big job but with the
thousands OF good friends that we have, scattered
all over the country, a chance to do work
of this kind that cannot be done by individuals,
or even by church organizations.
This will be one form of practical service to
our felloWmen-practiCal religion The work of
polishing your face, shining your shoes, putting
on your best clothes and paint and going to
church on Sunday is way of marking Gods
day of rest and contentment, but it is not all of
religion. Here earth where God is all around
you in the form of living men, women and child
rem the chief part Of religious worship lies not in
song and prayer, but in loving service to Christ's
brothers and sisters
If you get the idea write to me and we'll see if
we can't help another. DADDY JIM

FINDS MAN
IN TENNESSEE
John CFess Wanted in Idaho for
Statutory Crime, ApPrehended in
Tennessee-Resists Requisition
Papers.

John Chess, the man who former
ly lived on the bench near Fruitland
and about year ago according to
reports, seduced the twelve year
old girl Katie Morrell, has been ap-
pretended in Tennessee and Sher-
iff John Watkins is now in Nash
vile after his man who is resisting
requisition papers.
We understand the grounds upon
which the man is fighting requisition
papers is that the girl was over
statutory age. Those people in this
community who are acquainted with
the horrible circumstances attend
ant upon the awful crime and who
remember that, when suffering the
natural outcome of the cruel wrong
done her, the little girl lay uncons-
cious for four days, will hope that
when the Governor of Tennessee is
fully made acquainted with the facts
as they know them to be, that he
will not prevent the return to Idaho
Of this human hyena that full JUS
tice may be meted out to him.

ORGANIZATION OF PARENT
TEACHER CLUB

A representative and enthusiastic
assembly of mothers and teachers
met in the Y. iM c. A. Friday af-
uernoon. Mrs. Boyd, Principal OF
the West Side Schools was cha rman
and in a few well chosen words, ex-
planned the need for such a club
and the good it might do. 1t was
unanimously agreed that such a
club be formed. A constitution and
bylaws were read and adopted.
The following officers were elected
by unanimous choice: Mrs. c. E.
Brainard, President; Mrs. ]. b.
Gorton, Vice President; Mrs. VIM.
Maule, Secretary, and Mrs. p. A.
Crump, Treasurer.
Mrs. Stanton of the Washoe club
was present and gave some helpful
advice to the club. Anyone interest
ed in the purpose for which the
club is organized is qualified for
membership. The membership list
will be open all the time. The sec
retary will be pleased to enroll
names before the next meeting.
Delicious cake and coffee were
served by the committee, after
which the club adjourned to meet
the second Tuesday in each school
mol$h beginning in September. A
second meeting during the month,
Of movable date, win be held in the
evening.
being ex-teachers are well aware
of the need of such an organization.
The most effective school teaching is
done when the school and the home,
and individually, the teacher and
mother, work together in the in
terest of .he child. Do we as moth
ers stop to think that the child is
under the teachers care more hours
daily of the school days than the
mothers, and that the teacher knows
the limitations and possibilities OF
the child even better than the aver
age mother? This being the forma-
tive period OF his life, the mother
and teacher need to cooperate to
promote the unity between the
school and home. Grave problems
may and do arise, when the teacher
needs the advice, suggestion and
counsel of fathers and mothers. on
the part of the parent we Should
try to understand the real point Of
view of our teachers and come to a
better understanding Of the mutual
of parent and teacher
for the welfare of the child, and
The child is to be pitied when the
parents interest in the child ceases
when the feathers begins.

as city attorney.
The committee appointments as
made by the mayor were brought
up and several of the councilmen
called the mayors attention to the
fact that he had not observed the or
dinance regulating the appointment
of committees in making them up.
Ordinance 191 of the City of Pay
ette says that all standing commit
tees shall consist of three members
one from each ward and in making
up several of the important commit
tees the mayor had placed more than
one member from each ward on
them. Mayor Brannock took the
stand that he had been advised by
his constituents that the ordinance
was illegal and therefore had ignored
Its regulations. Councilmen Burns,
Woodward, Compton and w. A.
Hutchinson all spoke on the subject
TO the effect that unless repealed or
declared unconstitutional by the
courts that the ordinance was as
much in force as any the city had
and that the mayor had not the pow
er to set aside the provisions of
any law of the city. The committees
as appointed were Illegal and every
act of the council would be void un-
der those circumstances and they
we're ayerse to taking the attendant
responsibility of serving on commit
tees illegally appointed. After con-
siderable discussion Mayor Bran
mock agreed to withdraw the COM
mittee appointments and by the
next meeting night arrange them in
conformity with the ordinance gov
erning the same.
1t was then moved By Woodward
and seconded by Burns that the city
engineer be instructed to investigate
the feasibility of attaching the two
portions of Sixth and Ninth street
where the residents had petitioned
for sewer Improvements, to Districts
Nos. l and and to report at next
meeting Motion carried.
Moved by Woodward that when
the council adjourn it adjourn to
meet again Thursday evening May
25th at s p. m Carried
On motion the council then adj
iourued.

Payette Hardware & Furniture Co.

E. c. Laughlin and C. H. Moffitt, OF
Boise, have purchased the como, er
stock of hardware and furniture and
from now on will conduct the buSi-
ness under the firm name of the
Payette Hardware & Furniture Com
pany. e. c. Laughlin who first pur-
chased the stock and has had con-
siderable experience in the furniture
lie feels that he has been fortunate
in being able to associate with him
an experienced hardware man like
Mr.. Moffitt, who for the past two
years had been connected with the
Kerr Hardware Company of Boise.
Previous to that time he was in
Ohio and for twenty years has
been engaged in the hardware busi-
ness. 1t will be the aim of the
new firm to carry a complete line
of furniture, house furnishings and
of hardware and also to give spe-
cial attention to undertaking and
funeral direction. They have faith
in the future of Payette and having
purchased the stock intend to so
treat the people of this section as to
merit a fair share of their patronage

MELON GROWERS
HAVE MEETING
Good Crowd of Association Mem
bers Endorse Central Pack-Large
Acreage in and Outlook Fine
California Man EuIoeizes Payetse
Melons.

The members of the Payette Val
| ley Melon Growers Association mei
last Saturday afternoon and while
owing to the fact that many Other
affairs interfered the meeting was
not. as large as was hoped for, yet
it made Up in enthusiasm what was
lacking in numbers. Most of the
heavy growers are now members OF
the association which will be man
aged by A. E. Wood this season and
while there are some not yet mem
bers every day sees more of them
coming in.
At the meeting Saturday the grow
ers decided to adopt the Centra!
pack and to grade their melons down
closely and this will enable the man
agement to guarantee every crate
that goes out. Arrangements were
made whereby an appropriate uni
form label will be used and with the
system to be adopted this year Pay
4tte Valley melons will be able to
compete in any market with mel
ons grown anywhere as the frouble
in the past has always been that
there was no uniformity of pack
md grading which always means a
great deal in the fancy market.
There are close to four hundred
acres of cantaloupes and melons in
his year and the conditions were
aever more favorable nor the out
.ook. brighter for a handsome yield
and with the growers all getting to-
yether on pack and grade there will
be a better price secured. All of
his coupled with the fact that the
Express company has announced a
ecided cut IN rates to some of the
markets where Payette melons are
well known and in demand means
hat the melon grower who belongs
o the association and has his mel
ms distributed by them in care
ul manner so as not to crowd any
particular market, is going to make
some good money.
A Mr.. Johnson representing a Cal |
fornia lithographing firm gave the
,rowers an interesting talk and
stated that Payette melons were
ully one third superior to any /
,rown anywhere in the west and |
hat properly packed and graded for
he fancy market would command a
Detter price than any melon he knew
#. He strongly advised the growers
o all get together and sell through
he association. This he said would
nable the management to distribute
he melons without overlooking any
market and running the price down.
