Increased
Interest.
Displayed In Livestock
Breeding Meeting Held
in Jackson on 10th Inst.
N. G. & St. I. Railway the
Host Of the Day.


The Livestock Association
Annual meeting held at.J Jackson
on the 10th inst, and preslded
over by president, A. H. Askew,
showed a gratifying increase Of
interest over the meeting of last
year. A somewhat informal
program for the day was arrang
ed and the Nashville, Chatta
nooga u st. Louis Railway, in
! the person Of Mr.. L. p. Bellah,
head of the Industrial Depart
ment Of the company, was the
host of the occasion, furnishing
q repast which would have been
\ hard to rival and almost impos-
sible to surpass in abundance
and excellence. The menu was
made of splendidly cooked lamb,
mutton and pork, bakers bread,
corn light bread like the old
country mother used to make)
pickles, onions, tomatoes and all
capped with the most exquisite
brand Of iron wedge coffee. The
cooking was done by Que Of the
city firemen, and we must say
that he is an expert in the art
of barbecuing meats.
President Askew called the
meeting to order and first intro
duced Judge Robert Ewing, of
Nashville, who spoke somewhat
at length along general live
stock line. His talk was well
worthy of the occasion and he
was given the closest attention
by the rs to 100 persons present,
The next speaker, and the
principal one Of the occasion,
was Mr.. NJ. A. Traylor, Vice
President of the National Stock
Yards National Bank, at East
St. Louis, illinois. Mr.. Traylor
is a young man, but he spoke on
a, subject to which he has given
much thought and SO forcible
was his presentation of the cry
ing need Of livestock on the
farm, that we are presenting in
this issue an abstract OF an ad'
dress delivered by him to a coun
ty association of bankers, under
the title Of "Reefsteak and the

Sufragist Victory
Soon Predicted by
Rev. Dunbar Ogden

The Rev. Dunbar Ogden delivered
a strong address on woman suf-
frage at his evening service at the
Central Presbyterian Church. That
woman is rapidly coming into her
own and that it is only question
of time when she will have full rank
politically with the men was his pre-
diction.
Woman is the center of the home
and the home is the center OF CIV

change this. Full suffrage has been
granted her in many States. and
whether we like it or not, the door
of the home has been thrown open
politically, commercially and So
cially
TN Georgia a girl is not protected
after she is ten years old, but when

seeks to better conditions and in her
political life she will do the same
thing"

Church Too Formal,
Says Atlanta Pastor

THE church needs TO take off her

Kingdom Of God" Thus spoke the
Rev A. r. Holderby. pastor Of the
Moore Memorial Church. at the Sun
dav morning service.
The church was never intended TO
be a secret order with hard and fast
rules. but to be a hospital for the re-
ception OF poor men" he said. I'm
fortunately, most Of our churches Of
to-day are purely social clubs, with
not much religion or sympathy or
brotherly love. while secret orders
have been organized TO do the real
work of the church"
