Baptist Pastor Called
To Massachusetts

1t is with deep regret that the I'm
manuel Baptist Church announces the
departure of the Rev. H. s. Pinkham
for Lowell. Mass, where he will take
charge of the First Baptist Church. AL
though DIR. Pinkham has been here but
three years, he has endeared himself
in the hearts of his congregation. Dur
ing his tenure the church attendance
was nearly tripied, the debt was ma
terially decreased, many improvements
were made in the church itself, and
the church members were interested in
many new enterprises making for the
benefit OF the parish. A reception has
been arranged for DIR. Pinkham on
Monday. when the Baptist Minister ial
Association will be the host. Mr.. Pink
ham was one of that progressive type
of men so rarely found in the ranks Of
the clergy. His good fellowship and
genuine sincerity never failed to attract
all those who came In contact with him.
II Is due largely to his encouragement
and active participation that the prog
ress made by the church in the last
year or so was accomplished. The best
wishes of his friends go with him In
his new work.

NINE CHILDREN AND TWO -..
MOTHERS DIE IN FLOOD

Natchez, Miss, April ga pitiful
sight was witnessed near here today
by helpless and terror-stricken res
cuers when two frantic mothers with
nine little children, marooned on the
top of house in the flooded interior,
called out in vain pleas for help and
then plunged to their deaths when
their place of refuge toppled over in
the swirling waters and vanished
from sight. .
The word was received here when
the rescuers returned with two boat
loads of survivors. Their boats were
so crowded that to have taken on
the women and little children would
have swamped them. s~ .-
Nine parishes, reaching five miles
inland, are under water and the Mis-
sissippi is pouring in through a mile
wide crevasse at st. John. At Benny,
where the levees are still holding, two
negroes were shot down while trying
to cut the embankment. 1t is thought
they were working for planters on
the other side of the stream.

CALL FOR W. w. SMITH

Since F-ank Ciague has decided not
to become a candidate for the senate
again and as Redwood county prac-
tically comedies the senatorship to
Brown county, there will in ell prCba-
bility not De much of a fight put up
for this Office in Redwood county at
the next election. Albert Pfaerder OF
New Ulm would make a good man
for the place, but since he will either
be candidate fo~ governor or go
back to the house and try for the
speakership, there is only one mar at
the present time, on whom both ccun-
ties could unite satisfactorily, and
that is w. w. Smith of Sleepy Eye.
Mr.. Smith is one of Brown county's
oldest successful business men and
should he try for the place and be
elected, the two counties would be
sure of having live and able men,
