SUNDAY SCHOOL CONvEN-
TION, JUNE 28-29.

The Executive Committee of the
Lincoln County Baptist Sunday
School Convention. at its meeting
in May, decided to hold its annual
meeting on the 4th Saturday and
fifth Sunday in June. This early
date was selected for the convent
ence of the pastors before they
begin their protracted meeting
work. The 9th Sunday was
thought most suitable in order that
| it might not conflict with any
other services and the most people
attend.
This is the original plan in or
ganizing Sunday School Conven-
tions. that each Beat organize .
convention, and all the beats meet
together IN one meeting. annually.
There seems to be considerable un-
willingness to dismiss the Beat
meetings. and some request that
the County Convention be postpon-
led. In view Of these facts, the
meeting Of the County Convention
is postponed indefinitely.

Mold on to Your Farm.

The suspicion Is that the people
Of this section of Mississippi do not
know the value of their lands.
The possibilities of their produc-
tiveness and the range of their
adaptability to the growth Of a
variety of crops has never dawned
upon their mental vision. The old
way of coaxing corn, cotton. peas
and sorghum from the soil with
crude implements and with blind
intelligence has never demonstrate
ed the wealth that is stored in our
lands, and which would become
actual if touched by the hand Of
energy and guided by science and
knowledge. Already the demon
strations in improved farming, ex.
emplified in the governments edu-
cative campaign is teaching our
people that growing crops is a
science. and that brains realized in
the fields, orchards and stock yards
are as valuable as ID the counting
rooms Of the professions. With
the krowledge how to produce
more on an acre Of soil will come
an appreciation of the value Of the
soil itself, and the greater desire
to hold on to it.
While this is coming to cur peo.
|ple. IN the interim, much Of our
lands will pass into the hands Of
big syndicates. and the man who
turned bis loose to them will till
the soil as a tenant. Ifyou own q
little farm hold on to it. It is
valuable. Aberdeen Weekly.

COUNTY HAS GOOD ROADS
AND is NOT IN DEBT

The Manufacturers Record tells
of remarkable instance of a coun-
ty with good roads and without
Indebtedness: For more than 80
years Muskogee county, Georgia,
in its business and social affairs.
has been managed by commission
of three men annually named BY
the grand jury of the county.
This has freed county management
from politics and graft. The result
is that Muskogee county has, with
one unimportant exception, the
lowest rate Of taxation of any
county in that State: is without
bonded or floating Indebtedness of
any kind except current bills. for
which the cash is in bank: owns
the usual county buildings. and tor
10 or II years or more has been
steadily building and maintaining
good roads, That is a record which
should commend its plan to the
