The last Sunday of the year will be
observed in the Presbyterian church
morning and evening with appropriate
sermons by the pastor. 1t is hoped
there will be a very full attendance
The pastor will then have completed
seven years of service with this church
Sunday School at ll:45.

the members should make an effort
to be present.
One of the most successful musicales
ever given in the city was that OF last
Sunday evening in the Presbyterian
church. A large chorus choir carefully
trained with outside help in the instru.
mental part rendered an uplifting and
delightful program. A very large and
appreciative audience was present.
The annual Christmas Eve exercises
of the Presbyterian Sunday School in
the church were brilliant success be-
ing a departure from the usual order OF
such affairs. A beautiful contata was
perfectly rendered, amid novel and
charming environments. by large ohor-
us choir with occasional recitations and
solos. Then followed the distribution
of gifts and candies bringing to close
most delightful evening.

Work Of Chemical Enalneer.

Great Is the debt that the new
south owes to the chemical engineer,
whose contributions are enumerated
by writer: The utilization of the
formerly wasted cotton seed In oil
making and the employment OF the
pressed hulls as a cattle feed; the
production of glycerin from cotton
seed oil; the use OF the vast clay and
shale beds in brick and tile manufac-
ture; and the opening up OF deposits
Of phosphates and phosphate rock
that yield commercial fertilizers.
Through his experiments and advice
the pine forests formerly destroyed in
obtaining turpentine may now be
saved, while lumber, as 1t has been
pointed out that turpentine can be
obtained from waste sawdust slabs
and old trees or stumps cut down or
blown down by storms High grade
oak ties for railroad use may be made
to last longer than before and low
grade lumber (such as loblolly pinel
can be made as efficient as untreated
oak by simply impregnating the tim
Der with creosote oil, and it is now a
thriving industry throughout the
south"
