of the chief OF these Is that which looks

in the old Baptist Tabernacle church. and
1t is probable that the walls Of the old

sound such as has never shaken them

musical instruments In the laws Of the

sound Of thousands OF voices is well-nigh
enough to make that Of the strongest ac

There Will be no secular music what
ever. nothing but the simple old songs
and hymns. The singing viii continue
from early morning to late night. every
day. except during meal-times. The only
other exceptions to this rule will be made
when the election of officers takes place

largest gathering of sacred singers in the
south, and the delegates hail from every

Though the Sacred Harp singers meet
but once year. and though they are in
reality made up OF the members OF var
ious singing societies. schools, choirs. etc,
independent of each other and scattered
all over the south. yet their convention
is by no means temporary or patch

WEEDS, 96ASS AND &OxATOESs
Two years ago the writer observed a
farmer moving grass and weeds from
five-acre field that had evidently been
cultivated early in the season. The
farmer informed us that this was his po-
tato patch, but that the grass and weeds
had grown so high and thick that he
was obliged to cut them with mower
and take them off before he could dig
hts potatoes
After the crop had been harvested 1
ascertained that it turned out about Y
bushels per acre. The ground was rich,
mellow, and If 1t had been properly cul-
tivated the yield would have been more
than doubled.
On an adjoining farm less than a half
mile from this field, three acres of pota-
toes yielded us bushels. See the differ
ence?
