loam and Mt. Zion Gather.
Ing of S. S. Workers.

Sunday School convention at
Mt. Zion was held as per an
nouncements IN the paper. A
large crowd attended. The
speaking and singing as well as
the social feature was good and
an abundant and hospitable
spread on every hand at dinner
time. President Dean should
feel much encouraged at the
success of the Sloan and also
Mt. Zion meets.
More interest should be taken
by the city sunday schools. and
a general feeling of good fellow.
ship between the city and coun.
ty school should be encouraged.
1t seems to us that A county
conventions instead of two and
in four different months would
be better than only two both in
the same month. Such good
things should be scattered along
so every person can take then
all in.

mill if built will be of great val

Truly A Statesman.

A sure-enough statesman has
been found in Missouri. What,
you are from the state ard want
to be sighted? Well here is the
facts:
Gov. Major has announced
that he is planning a proclama-
ton setting apart two days in
August for working on the roads
by every able. bodied man in the
rural district of Missouri.
The Governor believes that
300, 900 men will aid in the work
and this, he points out, will
mean that equivalent of six hun
dred thousand days work. An
impressive thought!
Finally-and most extraordi.
nary of all the governors says
that he will WELD a pick and
shovel on some highway near
Jefferson City, for the two days
mentioned in his proclamation,
and that he expects other State
officials to do the same thing.
There's the spirit for you! 1t
would be easy for the Governor
to beg off" on the ground that
he is not accustomed to working
in the sun, and that such activi-
ty as he proposes for others
might bring him to a sick bed.
But such a plea would be
equally sound in the cases of a
couple of hundred thousand 9TH
er men, perhaps.
Here's to Gov. Major. of
Missouri, for he is major in
fact and not alone in name.
May more of his like of states
men come to the front. -Padu-
cab News-Democrat.

Trice Bennett For County Attorney

Of our countyman and candi-
date for the democratic nominal
ton as County Attorney. the
Love county News of Marietta,
Oklahoma, has this to say:
"We learn that Trice C. Ben
nett a former resident of Mariet.
ia is a candidate for county at
torney of Crittenden county,
KY. and the News with his
hundreds of friends in Love
county hope he will win out, as
he is the right man for this
place.
While here Trice was consid-
cred one of the brightest young
lawyers in the state and enjoyed
a large practice. He was en-
ployed in some of the most noted
civil and criminal cases ever
tried in the county and always
won out. He was a democrat of
the truest southern type and
was always among the first in
the democratic ranks. When he
had built up a very lucrative
practice here his wife was taken
sick and he moved back to Ma
rion, KY, his old home where
Mrs. Bennett later died. He is
a brother.in-law of R. H. Hay
mes of this city.
If elected Trice Bennett will
make Crittenden county a faith
| full officer, and the editor of the
News together with hundreds of
Love county people commend
him to the citizens of that coun-
ty."

Wednesday morning, July 18th
a gay Grove of picnicers took
the 8 o'clock train for Sullivan
where "haywagons" met them
and transferred them to ]. ].
Martins grove about a mile
from the station. The occasion
was a joint Sunday School pic
mic given by the Presbyterian
Sunday Schools. of Sturgis, Sui
Ivan and vicinity, and Marion.
There was about thirty in the
party from Marion. an equal
number from Sullivan and vicin-
ity and about double that num-
Der from Sturgis and vicinity
and all reached the beautiful
woodland safely and in the jel-
lest of moods. Among those
who attended from Marion were
Mesdames T. C. Guess, j, F.
Price, S. M. Jenkins, c. B. Hina,

The Sturgis and Sullivan con-
tingents made it their task, and
they did it cheerfully, to extend
a hospitable hand to all the
others. We felt that we were
with friends every minute of the
time. Addresses of welcome were
made by Kenneth Davis. and
Rev. Claycomb, and replies were
made by Rev. Jas. F. Price, and
W. E. MINER, after which Miss
Maude Dance, state Sunday
School worker, recited a beauti-
full story. When the dinner hour
arrived, a feast fit for the gods
was spread on tables and every
one enjoyed it. To enumerate
the good things prepared by
these Kentucky wives and dau-
ghters for the occasion would
require more space than we
have. Many baskets full were
taken up after the meal was
finished.
A ball game, called by Rev.
Claycomb, was a feature of the
afternoon. The players were
Mesdames j. F. Price. T. C.
Guess, L. E. Order, C. B. Hina,

Mrs. Annie Lamb was the UNI
pire. This ball game was one of
the pleasantest features of
a day filled with JOY from begin
ming to end.
The next picnic will be held
we hope in Marion or near here
as we feel indebted to the Union
county folks and must have a
chance to pay our debts.
