The International Bible Students AS
sociatiOn, with headquarters at Craven
Terrace, London. is arranging to give a
series of Bible lectures the world over.
Several tours have been arranged for
evangelists in America. One is listed
to pass through this place, headed by
Benz II. Barton, of Philadelphia, who
will speak on the subject: Beyond the
Grave" this Thursday evening at 7:45
O'Clock in the Maryland Treatre.
1t is said that this series of lectures is
especially strong, botn in the logical
arrangement of subjects and in the able
corps of speakers. The first lecturer
considers the question uppermost in the
minds of the people, viz. What lies be-
yond the grave? Few claim to know.
None have returned to tell US. Nearly
every one holds different view. All
will be interested, no doubt, in the COM
ing lecture, and will turn out to hear
what may be said on this much discuss
ed subject. Judging from press reports
it will be something unusual.

Maryland'S Bes, Potatoes.

Prof. Thomas B. Symons, secretary
of the Maryland Horticultural Society,
has returned from the Homecoming fair,
where he saw an exhibit of Irish pota-
toes said to be the finest ever shown in
Maryland. He has arranged to have
them exhibited at the Fifth Regiment
Armory, Baltimore, during Maryland
week, which begins November II. These
potatoes, declared DR.. H. J. Patterson,
president of the Maryland Agricultural
college, are the best the State has ever
produced, and he congratulated the
farmers OF Garrett and Allegany coun-
ties upon their product. DR.. Patterson
said that with the raising of such pota-
toes it was no longer necessary for the
Maryland farmer to look to Maine and
New York for seed.
Had the Professor visited the Garrett
County Fair he would have seen potatoes
on exhibition that would have surprised
him. The potato exhibit was something
extraordinary. Mr.. Hurley Miller ex-
hiDited seventeen kinds of potatoes rails
ed on his farm near Oakland. They
were prize winners. They were taken
to the fair at Homecoming and were
prize winners there. They will go to
the State fair and we predict that they
will capture the prize there. The uni
versal testimony twas, Il never before
saw such display of potatoes" Gar
rett county is a potato county and can
beat the world raising them. Garrett
county made splendid exhibit of pota-
toes at the Homecoming fair.

RapS Secretary Bryan.

Speaker Champ Clark says: Il say no
word in criticism of other people in like
cases, but 1t seems to me to be dis
honest for a person to receive money
from the government for performing
his official duties, then to leave his post
of duty to make money on the lecture
platform.

question, and acts accordingly.

The Fair A Financial Success

The fair held by the Agricultural AS
ISOLATION of Garrett county two weeks
ago not only proved to be one Of the
best events of its kind ever held in this
section of the state in every way, but
the Association comes out of the affair
clear of debt with ample to paw the pre-
miums and extraordinary expenses. it
being the first fair ever held in the
county.
The net proceeds from all sources will
amount to nearly $500 and the eXpendi-
lures exclusive Of some of the premi-
ums yet unpaid will amount to about
$l250. Many exhibitors have genar-
ously waived their cash premiums and
have thus relieved the treasury of the
Association. A detailed statement will
be made when all affairs have been fin
ally settled and will be published for the
benefit Of the Association and the mem
bership which now numbers 240. num-
Der having been added since the fair
was held.
A meeting of the officers of the AS
ISOLATION and ITS members will be held
in Oakland on Nov. 9Th, p. m., for the
purpose Of electing new officers and
making preparations for next years
fair. which is to eclipse in many ways
the effort of this year.
Persons entitled to cash premiums
and who do not receive same by the
9th inst, will confer favor on the AS
ISOLATION by calling on or writing to the
Secretary about the matter. The AS
ISOLATION is anxious that all premiums
be paid as awarded.
