About fifty persons made profession
OF faith recently in pastorate of DR.
E-sH. Pearce in a special service east
OF Danville in North Garrard of one
week as an out door meeting known as

being signally assisted by the faithful
service of layman helper Mr.. Walter
Arnold who was converted in the great
evangeIistic last winter at Columbus

note, that the out door arrangement in
seating and lighting with every con-
venience was made voluntarily bv
those who afterward professed faith
and also petitioned the pastor to con-
duct the weeks service in the torrid
weather and the farmers labor season.
All denominations came for miles
around and participated heartily and
Joyfully, the fellowship element being
happlest expression. The last day

Farmers And Citizens From All Over The
State Gather At Versailles To Par.
take OF The Hospitality Of
Johnson N Camden.

About the biggest thing ever at
tempted by an individual in the way of
barbecue, and We doubt if it was
ever surpassed by an organization,
was the monster barbecue given by
johnson Camden at his home near Yer
sailles on Wednesday. On his mag.
nificent $50 acre farm, which the il
lustrlous Tom Marshal characterized
as the asparagus bed of the world''
ne had made preparations to feed
2O, 600 people, not a sandwich and a
cup of coffee each, but to feed them
to their heart, or stomachs content
on burgoo, beef, mutton and all the
necessary "trimmins'', and right nobly
did the yeomanry of the state respond
to the invitation which was general.
By early dawn they began to respond,
sfoot, horseback, in automobiles and
trainloads, until the fondest expecta-
tions of Mr.. Camden as to the mapui-
tude of the crowd was more than real.
ized.
The object of the gathering of the
farmers and citizens as announced by
the host, was to promote the general
welfare of the farmer and farming
interests of the state, and preparations
to the minutest detail had been made
to this end; prominent men, men well
versed in farming of practical nature,
lecturers upon the conservation of farm
resources. farm finance and every thing
pertaining to the farm and farmer.
We're present and made addresses,
which were eagerly listened to and en-
Joyed as much as the splendid spread
which had been prepared for the
entertainment of the inner man.
Suggestions were made and instructions
given which opened up to the farmers
of Kentucky possibilities of which they
had never dreamed, and the seed sown
are calculated to be of inestimabIe value
to the farming interests in the state.
Too much gratitude cannot be ex-
pressed to this broad minded, liberal
hearted gentleman, who gave so liberal
ly of his time and means in order to
promote the interests with which he is
SO prominently identified, and in which
he has been so successful and in which
he is so anxious to see others succeed.

Fruit OF Inferior Quality.

Early i'm the season and after the
danger Of frost, the greatest menace to
fruit in this country, it was though that
we would have bumper fruit crop this
year, but such is not the case. While
fruit is plentiful it is small and very
inferior in quality. Grapes are ripening
rapidly and are small and not very good,
peaches are far below the average and
very few home grown on the market,
while apples are plentiful but also small
and inferior.

RICH SWEEPINGS.
Gold Recovered From Dentists Floor
Realized E70.

From Pearson's Weekly.
If gold is one of the rarest and most
valuable metals it is also one of the most
widely diffused We all handle gold We
have it in our purses as money. round
our fingers, wrists, necks, as rings.
bracelets or necklets. and We wear it in
our mouths as filings for our teeth
The amount of gold used by dentists is
very considerable, and even dentists have
no idea of how much goes to waste in
the workshops where they make plates and
the like. Some Little time ago Chelten-
ham dentist was moving house. \ friend
standing in his dismantled workshop,
which was in the basement of the house.
remarked that there must be a good deal
of gold in the floor.
The dentist thought it over and decided
to take the floor up. He made a profit of
$40 after paying expenses from the tiny
particles OF gold recovered from that
floor.
Which calls to mind case that hap
pened in Melbourne. A contractor de-
molishing an old house at the rear of the
Bank of Australasia came across a small.
piece of pure gold. This bullion had not
Strayed from the strong room of the bank.
Inquiries proved to the contractor that the
place in which il was found was the site
of the old smelling house of the bank in
the great gold boom days.
he commenced prospecting operations
and washed up about EGO worth of fine
gold, mostly in the form of dust
