The Trail of the Lonesome Pine

To the lovers of the song and novel,
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
will come as a treat. Theatre goers
i'm the smaller cities thus far have been
deprived of the pleasure of seeing this
truly wonderful play, as the high
royalty Of the play kept il in the larger
cities where two dollar prices could be
obtained and only recently has an at
tempt been made to tour same in the
less important cities. Mr.. Hooper,
under whose able management the
piece is presented, realized that the
popularity of the song the world over
would serve as valuable advertising
and that the public everywhere would
eagerly receive the play in the smaller
cities, as they did in the metropolitan
cities. and to say his venture has been
a huge financial success is evidenced
by the crowds that greet the perfor-
nance everywhere. At many STANDS
the people eagerly clamor for admit
lance. SO great has been the success
that several companies are now being
organized and the immensely popular
play will now be seen in every city OF
importance the country over. Local
theatre goers will soon have the OPP
portunity TO see ii at the Belding
Opera House, Tuesday evening. oct

A. D. GEORGE TELLS
STORY OF HIS LIFE

The folding doors TO all of the Sun
day School rooms adjacent to the Ep-
worth League rooms Of the Methodist
church were thrown open last Sunday
evening at the league hour To accom-
modate the crowd that assembled to
hear A. -. George who with his wife
has been leading the singing at the
revival services, tell the story of his
life. The space was insufficient to
hold the people who overlooked into
the vestibules and aisles.
At the present time Mr.. George is
as cleancut and has as fine christian
character as any man, and with his
ability as a leader in gospel songs it is
impossible TO believe that he was at
one time low in sin.
Mr.. George told of his life in Terre
Haute, Indiana while boy and young
man. He told how from a lad in the
Sunday School and under the guidance
OF a christian mother he drfted to be
one of the worst characters in that
city. Poker and other card games be-
came fascinating to him and SO en-
crossed did he become with dancing.
thieving. the theatres and pool rooms
that he lost his jobs and was unable
to get decent employment. Finally he
became bartender and lost all re-
spect for himself while at the work.
While i'm this low state of living Mr..
George was rescued by "A minister who
was To begin a series Of revival meet
ings in the city. The minister found
him in the car shops with extremely
dirty hands and body, and asked him
To lead the singing at the services. He
fatty refused but could not get away
from the consciousness that he ought
TO do it, Driven by an unknown force
he went to the church the first even
ing and began the work. In a few
days he was converted and started in
Immediately leading the singing in
gospel services.
Mr.. George stated that i'm all Of the
six years work with DR.. Manhood he
had never told the story Of his con-
version except where he could do ii To
help others and that DR. Mahood had
never heard him tell it. He said he
was not proud Of it and did not think
such things should be told.
The talk here was given at the
special request of Rev. w. T.. Doty.

Now that our evangelistic services
are drawing To "A close we have a bet
ter basis on which to Judge the value
of the services of Dr. j. w. Mahood,
Miss Mahood. and Mr.. and Mrs. A. ID.
George to religious life OF the com
munity
In Or. Mahood we have sane,
scholarly. genuine christian gentle
man who hews to the mark and yet
does II I'm such a fine christian spirit
that all are benefited by his ministry.
No one even by the widest stretch
OF imagination can call him specta-
cular or unorthodox 1t is certainly in
spring i'm these days when so many
are crying "Lo, here; Lo, there" to
find one of the leading evangelists in
the church who presents the gospel of
Christ in clear, earnest manner be-
cause he believes that il is Christ and
not man or man-made religions that
this generation needsWe believe that
Or. Mahood is doing a work that will
abide.
In Miss Mahood we have bright.
clear mind, a capable personal worker
and leader of young women.
1t has never been our privilege to
hear as fine "A player Of gospel songs
as Mrs. A. -. George. She is said to
be one of the best i'm the United States.
In addition she has a winning person
atty and is an active personal worker.
In A. ID. George we have an agree
able christian gentleman and a capable
leader Of choruses. His address to
young people at the League hour
made an impression for good which
will reach into the years to come.
During the campaign some seventy
five or eighty people declared their
purpose To live. a christian life while
the effect of the services upon the lives
of the members of the church cannot
be estimated.

so that at last the owner does not so
much ask i'm declining years, How
much can | get for my farm" but
"Who is going to succeed me on it?"
And that means a deepening and
strengthening of home ties and those
of locality, both of which are greatly
needed in American rural life.
But for practical reasons as well as
sentimental it is wise to bestow a
name upon the farm. No self-re-
specting man would give a good name
TO his farm and then keep the farm
in poor condition.

M'lNT0SH RED APPLES
BROUGHT HIGH PRICE

Brinton T.. Hall has completed the
harvesting of his famous crop Of Nc
Intosh Red apples. This is only the
second year that the trees have borne,
but about two hundIed and fifty
bushels were harvested. most of them
grading as 'firsts."
The entire crop was marketed by
Harry Lamb at his grocery store. A
small display Of them was placed in
the Hotel Bedding. where they could
he seen by the travelling public. AS
a result of the display the fruit. in
bushel lots. was shipped by Mr.. Lamb
to all parts of the country. Some of
the baskets went to TT. Wayne, Terre
Haute and Indianapolis Indiana
Others went TO Boston. Chicago. De-
troit. Cincinnati Cleveland and i'm fact
most OF the leading cities for hundreds
OF miles surrounding Bedding. The
price paid per bushel was one dollar.
Mr.. Hall is into the Mcintosh Red
business ahead Of most OF the other
apple growers OF the state. Several
years ago he leased the neglected or
chard OF w. c. Spicer on the Cooks
Corners road. The orchard. set out
by Levi Loveianti and containing most
ly the Ben Davis variety, had been
neglected for years.
Mr.. Hall cleaned up the orchard and
grated many Of the trees with sprouts
from the famous Mcintosh trees. His
people were and are still old apple
raisers in the east and they had all
seen the possibilities in this special
variety with the result that this APP
pie was pushed here.
While the Mcintosh apple Is not
large as some others. il is one variety

DON'T SPEED TOMORROW

Drivers of autos and moter cycles
are admonished not to take any risk
of hurting people at the celebration
by dashing about at high speed. 1t
should be borne in mind that many
people will be in town who are not
accustomed to the movements OF these
vehicles, and who will be watching
other things besides the machines,
There will be many who will become
confused when in danger and will
make the very move that the driver
does not expect, and it is the duty
of every driver to keep the speed
down to absolute safety for the other
fellows and the women and children
who are the guests Of the town and
out for a good time. Don't yield to
the temptation TO speed UP and show
off with a roar and flash and a van
ish unless you are in clear op n sail
ing. Let every man be careful
protector tomorrow and permit NJ
avoidable accident

enthusiasm they have for the Honor
of Bingen, Fair Bingen on the Rhine. "
The songs the children sing they
will remember as long as they live.

make a hit.-Contributed.

WOOLGROWERS TO MEET

The Idaho wool growers are plan
ming for an interesting meeting to be
held at Boise, July 10, at which time
Is. w. Mcclure of Salt Lake, secretary
of theg National Wool Growers asso-
citation, will be present, and w. r.
Rich, the Australian wool expert, who
| is now in this country, and who has
been invited to give the Idaho wool
growers some pointers on the subject.
Two items of vital interest are to
be discussed. railroad rates and feed
ing charges. The interstate commerce
commission is to meet at Denver and
to consider livestock rates, and the
Idaho growers wish to elect two del
egates to represent them before this
commission.
The Idaho growers feel that the
feeding charges are altogether too
high and they wish to make a strong
| protest.
1t is expected that the meeting will
be largely attended on account of the
importance of the business to be con-
sidered and the prominence of the
speakers.-Statesman.

Mr. Alfred was turning the corner

to miss a lady. In trying to recover
his poise after passing the lady he
struck the freshly sprinkled crossing

time the gear took on tremendous
speed owing to the released resistance
on the rim of the wheels. Fortunate
