Candidate for Reelection.

Although it involves consider
able sacrifice, the Hon. Jerome H..
Courtney has decided to stand for
reelection to the House. During
the two years that he has served
Mr.. Courtney has made a good re-
cord. Unless providentially kept
away he was constantly at his post
guarding with a jealous eye the in
terests cf his constituency, together
with that of the people at large.
The experience that Mr.. Courtney
has gained fits him for even better
service in the future. Always con-
servative, conscientious and faith
full, the interests of the people Of
every class and vocation are safe in
his hands.

Best Treasurer in the State.

1t is but stating a plain truth to
say that Mr.. James T. Minis is the
best county treasurer in the stats.
For neatness, system and accuracy
in keeping the affairs of the Office,
he can not be excelled. He treats
everybody, the high and the low,
rich and poor, alike, making them
conform to the letter of the law. In
doing so he may, as anyone else
would under like circumstances, dis
please few people, but in the end
the interests of the taxpayers are
promoted thereby. For honesty
and conscientious effort to discharge
his official duties, Mr.. Minis has no
superiors among the county treas.
urers in the state.

Himself, the earthly scaffolding of

Jesus Christ Himself being the

"Rose Cottage" Correspondent
Sends Interesting Letter.

Sunday was Layman's Day at
Rehoboth. A very large congrega.
tion assembled at the church to hear
the laymen speak. Bro. w. B.
Cogburn spoke on foreign missions,
Bro. O. Sheppard's subject was
systematic giving, Bro. w. J. Tai
bert spoke in the afternoon Ion
Home Missions. All of these breth-
rem were happy in what they said,
and were at their best. The music
was fine and altogether the day was
all that could be asked for or wish.
ed for. All of the people were in
fine spirit, and the day SO ideal that
it made one think of the beautiful
home that we all hope to enter
some sweet day bye and bye."
Your correspondent has attended
two school closings in our county
this spring, one at Sand Rock, and
the other at Beaverdam. 1t did our
hearts good to hear the patrons OF
these schools express publicly their
appreciation of their teachers. Not
one, but all expressed themselves
as being highly pleased with the
progress the children have made in
books, and the splendid influence
the teachers exertsd over the pupils
in training them for usefulness.
Another thing that made me hap.
py was that both of these teachers
belong to my churches. The teacher
of Sand Rock school is Miss Maggie
Winn, Rehoboth girl and Beav-
erdam school is taught by Miss
Lula Quarles of Red Hill, and to
these popular and successful teach
ers I make my politest bow.
The people of our community are
taking great interest in canning.
Mr.. J. II. Bussey started that en-.
terprise some two or three year.
ago, and now quite number of oul
people have purchased an outfit.
We hope that the craze will
spread until every farmer will own
a cannery of his own.
