the rendition Of some new jubilee
Songs last Sunday, DR.. Norman,
the pastor, preached a very strong

Chapel M. f. Church last Sunday was
quite a success, consideriny the short
time since they began the movement.
DIR. Norman preached in the after
noon. and DR.. J. A. Jones preached
at night. The amount raised was $50.
The people were delighted. Mrs. N.
B. Benson carried a company OF Tur
ner Normal students over to Bell
buckle last Friday night to give a con-
cert. The entertainment consisted
principally of drills by a team of
young girls, songs and Rotations. A
good crowd was on hand and the peo-
pie were highly pleased. DR., Jones
accompanied the troup. The party
went over in vehicles by way of the
pike. This was very enjoyable to
the girls who like the novelty of the
trip. The talk of the town is the
big concert to be given on the goth
at the City Auditorium by the stu
dents of Turner Normal College, as
ISOLATED with Rev. Mr.. Myers, form

Myers will give one of his recitations

BALL TEAM ORGANIZED.

Special to the Globe.
South Pittsburg, Tenn, March r.
The South Pittsburg pail team met
last night and ~reorganized and elected
A. H. Booker manager and Dave Thor
man, captain. Several of the old
players were present and many young
recruits who will be given t~ry-outs.
The lineup has not yet been an
nounced. But it is probable that some
of the old players will be replaced
with young players. A large colloc-
ton IVES realized, and hereafter each
member will have to pay a stipulated
sum each week to satisfy the treasury,
which they have SO successfully Gre
atod, This team will meet all corners,
and they expect to get many games

To Clean Valuable Glass.

One can never be careful enough in
cleaning valuable objects dart Of all
kinds. says the Pail Mall Gazette.
Many exquisite pieces have been en-
tirely spoiled through cleaning being
accomplished unintelligently. Old glass
counts among the most precious OF
possessions. and for fits cleaning chem
icals must never be used. because they
remove that dull blush gloss which Is
always a characteristic of antique
specimens and is a point highly priced
by connoisseurs. IL cleaning really
becomes necessary use powdered egg
shells. These must be ground very
fine, with no gritty pieces remaining to
scratch the glass. Mix with tepid wa
ter into a thin paste and with this rub
the glass. rinse with clear water after
ward and dry with soft leather. This
is the only really reliable way of clean
ing valuable glass and Is a method
followed by collectors.

CURRENT COMMENT
Why They Kissed.

In Montreal recently the audience in
a moving picture theatre viewed a film
depicting the Inauguration of President
Wilson. The pictures We're very ag-
gressiyely Kissed. That, however, is not
a reflection on the president, and it is
not reflection on Canada. 1t is not
even pretext for declaring that Can
ada is preparing to invade New England
and take possession by force of arms
1t NAV be that there was con-
yincing reason for the kissing. Mont
real is not many miles from the boun-
Diary. 1t is Oily comparatively short
journey by rail from the Green Mountain
state, which, among other reasons for
self reorganization, has the birth of Eu-
gene Noble Foss to its credit. Perhaps
the citizens of Montreal, sympathizing
with Vermont, could not help Kissing
when they saw Woodrow Wilson as the
central figure of a ceremony in which
Vermont's distinguished son should have
been the central and most imposing fig
ure.
1t is better to look at the incident
from that point of view than from the
other and less agreeable one. Canada is
all right. Montreal is all right. Presi-
dent Wilson is committed to a single
term and his secretary Of state will
not let him forget that fact. Gov. Foss
will have another opportunity in 1916

TOWNS CAUGHT UNPREPARED

| 1t was rather surprising information
that the town of Newbury had no fire
fighting apparatus with which to avert
| disaster like that which befell the main
village last Saturday evening. Newbury
| is place of considerable size, as Yer
mont towns go, and it had property Of
considerable value which demanded pro-
lection from fire; yet when the crisis
came, the town was found wanting as
far as apparatus and water facilities
were concerned, the result being that
about score of structures, some of them
fairly pretentious, were destroyed. In.
cluded in the loss were the Newbury
seminary building and four-story ho-
tel structure and also several business
buildings. The loss of those, coupled
with the destruction of many private
residences, is a hard blow to the town
and to the individual owners; and that
which makes the loss seem the more Sc
we're is that Newbury is wealthy enough
to have installed adequate fire fighting
equipment long since and thus to have
fortified itself against the flames. In
deed, Newbury vas in much better shape
to meet the expense Of installing APP
paratus than many communities which
have done so, but the people there were
slow to realize the danger and were
loath to make the expenditure.
Thus it is with more than a few other
communities in Vermont; they have not
been devastated with fire to any extent |
and they are resting in fancied security, |
believing that the flames could not work
any large amount of damage because
buildings are scattered. So were the
buildings OF Newbury scattered, there
being large common" lying between
some of them, yet the firebrands were
carried by the wind over this common"
and onto property which doubtless was
considered at first secure from harm
The fact is that no community can be
700 well protected as far as fire fighting
apparatus is concerned; and the town or
1ilage which provides no equipment and
10 water supply is guilty of grave ir
responsibility.
