The Cookeville Presbytery

The COOkeville Presbytery Of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church met
with Cookeville congregation Sept.
1924. The Cookevlle congregation
and its beloved pastor-host, Rev. E.
L. McWilliams, provided splendid en-
tertainment for all and the community
showed its appreciation of the pres
ence of the body by filling the large
auditorium of the church at each
service. The opening sermon by Rev.
Byrd Phillips, the retiring moderator,
and one among the yOugner ministers
of the Presbytery, was an earnest and
scriptural discourse, full Of old-time
spirit and power, and gave tone to
the entire session.
The Presbyterial communion SER
vice on Friday at II o'clock was true
spiritual feast, after listening to a
most excellent and spiritual sermon
by Bro. Swearingen.
Saturday evening Miss Cynthia Esh-
man of Lewisburg, and Miss Kate
Vaughn of Lebanon, representing the
WOman's Board of Missions of the
Cumberland church, had charge Of the
service. Miss Vaughn, in few words
told of her call to the mission work,

she longs as soon as her preparation
is completed togo wherever God and
her church shall direct. She also gave
most impressive reading Miss Esh-
mans talk was instructive and help
full, and enjoyed by all who heard her.
The Presbytery was splendidly at
tended and each and every pastor and
delegate was most grateful for the
hospitality shown them, and declared
it to be one of the very best Presby-
teries ever attended
The next meeting of the Presbytery
will be held with GOrdonsville con-
gregation in April Of next year.

PROPERTY AT A SACRIFICE.
Handsome Site on Washington Avenue
to be Sold Saturday by Clerk
and Master.

An event of unusual interest to the
people of Cookeville who are inter-
ested in property values will be the
sale at public outcry of what has for
number of years been conceded to
be the one perfect building site in
the city. This is section of land or
iginally sold by Rutledge Smith to
B. G. AdcOck and subsequently pur-
chased by Griffin Smith, the latter
sale being made three years ago, the
consideration being eight hundred
dollars. Only about half of this sum
was paid at the time of purchase, and
the indisposition Of Mr. Smith to in
vest additional money in Cookeville
property has had the effect of plac-
ing the sale in the hands of the Clerk
and Master.
The lot has a frontage of approx
imately $50 feet, touching the fair
ground pike on the west, and extends
back about two thousand feet. 1t is
ecxellently wooded and has perfect
natural drainage.

There was no degree work done at
this meeting On account of the meet
ing of the Putnam County Association
of Odd Fellows with Caney Fork
Lodge at Buffalo Valley on the 28th
inst. there will be no meeting of this
lodge on that date as the officers and
members of this lodge desire to at
tend the association.
The lodge contemplates new By
laws and a raise of fees shortly. 1t
is claimed that we have been waiting
too long in this matter. Odd Fellow
ship is entirely too good to be ped
died at a ridiculously low price. A
committee to revise the Bylaws will
probably be appointed at our next
meeting.

London. April Specially I he post-Lenten season is not yet in swing in London. The King and Queen spent the Easter holidays at York Cottage and will remain there until next week. With the exception of the Prince of Wales, the royal children are with them.
 Until the royal party returns to Lon don there will not be much social activ- ity.
 A goodly portion of the high peerage, particularly the real old families are in more or less mourning for the death of her grace, the Duchess of Buccleuch The Scotts and Hamiltons are among tho most widely known and connected families in the peerage, and the late duchess was personally very popular. she was in her seventy-slxth year. She was a great hostess and remarkably eX- elusive In her entertainments at Mont agu House. Whitehall. These enter tainments had not beSn very numerous since the marriages of her two daugh- ters Lady Hampden and Lady Constance Cairns, but in years past they were re ouent and carried out in princely fashion. The duchess was mistress Of the robes to Queen Victoria for many wears. and acted in the same capacity to Queen Alexandra throughout the reign of the late King. Some few yeas ago she desired to resign this impor;- ant post but :ueen Alexandra prevailed on her to continue.
 The duchess, as Lady Louisa Hamii- .- nplF nf then Lord Dallxeith, in 1859, and had 9 large family. The duke and duchess celebrated their golden -'edding in No vcmber, 1909 The duke, who was 50 wears of age on September 3, last, Is the holder of 15 titles in the British .peerage and is one of t.io greatest land lords of the United Kingdom. He owns 46O.10S acres in Scotland and England, bringing in, 1t is reputed, Sl,20o,Oo a year.
 The ancestry of the present peer, whose family, name Scott, delvss deeply into history. Border romance teens with one or other of the family names The first duke was Kings son and Duke of Monmouth. who was eventually executed TOT high treason. There have been two Sir Walter. Scotts who have stood out prominently in the history of the family. The wife of Sir Walter, who was tenth of his line, was immortalized in Sir Walter Scotts Lay of the Last Minstrel" of which she IS the heroine. The novelist found in the fourth Duke of Buccleuch, to whom .,rhe I,av" was dedicated, a very firm friend in these financial struggles which ultimately hastened his death.
 The King and Queen and Queen Alex anddra were represented at the funeral of the Duchess of Buccleuch at Dalkeith

SPANISH GYPSIES
About 55,000 of Them Said to Be in
 the Country Now

From America.
 One of the things to attract the notice of every traveller that visits Spain Is that strange race which he finds scattered here and there In small groups In the remote rural districts or near the great centers of population. It presents a type that can be mistaken for no other in the Spanish dominons.
 The lips thick. the eyes large, black and piercing, the hair long, black anu straight, the complexion olive tinted the Spanish gipsy. whether encamped in a shetering ravine or under the arches of an aqueduct or in the shadow of an over hanging cliff, is indeed Spanish because burn in Spain. but in all else he is gfpsv.
 Time was when Spaniards of the true blue blood called gypsies New Castil- ians," or Egyptians" or 'Moorish foot pads; but while their traits have under gone no change their name is nowadeiin- itely gitanos. or gypses.
 Between 50,cOO and 60.000 is the number of them now in Spain. Most of them have no fixed abode: but in some parts, and nota- bly in Andalusia, there are several small settlements, for towns they can hardly be called. where these wanderers have taken possession of caves in the mountain side, whence they sally forth to tell fortunes and to flch Wherever they are they are inclined to be quarrelsome among them selves and to enforce their arguments by means of wicked looking knives, which they weid with great deXterity. arhf
