Louisiana Hogs Win Interstate Cham

Louisiana bred hogs won not

McCall's Duroc Jerseys not only
beat entries from Louisiana,
Mississippi and Kentucky and
other States, but, by defeating
the Mckee entries from Ken

ship and gained ascendancy over
the Kentucky founders of the
Mccall Louisiana herd. The Nc
Call hogs, headed by the great
blue ribbon boar. Louisiana De-
fender. were bought less than
two years ago from the McKee's
atVersailles, KY. who, up to the
Jackson Fair had defeated all
corners. Meeting for the first
time the men from whom he
bought, Mccall took the blue rib
bon away from the recognized
leaders and transferred the head
quarters of the championship
Duroc herd from Kentucky to
Louisiana for the first time in the
history of the South. In other
words, with Che very stock sold
to him by Mckee. and the get of
this stock, Mccall beat his form
err masters. This places Louisi-
ana at the top rank of Duroc Jer-
sey hog breeding and is a re-
markable demonstration of what
science and unremitting industry
may do in a short time. The
Mccall victory will have a mark
ed effect upon stock raising in
Louisiana especially as some of
this championship strain will be
put up at the big Mccall sale on
January s.. The Louisiana State
Fair Association has recognized
the leadership of the young hog
raising sugar planter, who is
president of the South Louisiana
Fair Association at Donaldson
vile, by appointing him Grand
Marshal of the big annual parade
at Shreveport.

Southern Prosperity ON Upgrade.

High price of cotton. resump-
ton of lumber business on a large
scale, increased demand for
freight tonnage, decline of the
jitney business, big steel orders
and other factors are indications
of a marked upward trend of
business in the South where the
securities of large wage paying
corporations are affected by gen.
|eral conditions, is the opinion of
Lee Benoist. financial vice presi-
dent of the American Cities Com
pany at New Orleans. This COM
pany controls traction. gas and
electric properties in Houston,
Little Rock. Memphis, Birming-
ham, Knoxville and New Orleans.
Mr.. Benoist has just returned
from tour of these cities. At
Memphis he was successful in
refnancing the company there
to the amount of So, 900. 600, this
being made possible largely be-
cause of general betterment OF
conditions and the recent decision
of the Tennessee Supreme Court
compelling jitneys to obtain fran
chises and to furnish a bond Of
$4,000 to protect the public.

Central Singing Convention.

Central Singing convention.
The Central Singing Conven-
ton met at Sardis church Oct.
% and "a, 1915. The convention
was called to order Saturday
morning at 10 O'Clock by Prest.
w. e. KEGS.
1t was agreed by the good la
dies of Sardis that there would
be no public dinner Saturday, so
at the close of the program the
following entertainment commit
tee was appointed: r. E. Math-
ews, j. w. Shelton and j. l..
Shelton. who assigned all visitors
homes for the night. The con-
vention adjourned at 1890 p. m.
to meet Saturday night at 7::30.
The same program was follow
ed Saturday night as through the
day, with Hargis and Sardis do
ing most of the singing. Every
one seemed to enjoy the night
session immensely and used it
for kind of fortification for the
next day, as everybody saw by
this time that it was to be the
big day. The convention adj
journed to meet Sunday at $50
O'Clock.
The convention was called to
order Sunday by the president,
who lead in singing Il Want To
Be Like Him." after which Bro.
]. w. Shelton prayed earnestly
for the success of the convention.
The following program was
rendered Sunday morning in the
presence of five or six hundred
listeners: Leaders-W. E. KEGS,
E. T. Reeves, R. E. Mathis, Wes-
ley Wilson, Lee Roy Shelton,
Bro. Bogwell, j. w. Shelton, j.
j. Payne, C. R. Nixon, Harry
Eagles, Clayton Eagles. Organ
lists Mrs. Jettie Smith, Miss
Maud McIlwain, Miss Lena Por-
ter, Miss Nettie Durham. Miss
Mildred Hill, Miss Edna Godfrey.
At the close of the above pro-
gram the multitude was fed with
Sardis loaves and fishes and every
one ate until they were like the
moon in its last phases, and then
| there were several loaves and
quite a number of fishes gather
ed up afterward.
The crowd re-assembled at 80
p. m. for the purpose of listening
to the class singing. Verda class
was called for, and they worked
so we'll together that many be-
lieve their songs most enjoyable.
Next Sardis was called out, and
every one seemed thoroughly sat-
listed with the entertainment dur
ling that short space of time.
Then Hargis, whom every one
was expecting something from,
came forth. and we must say fol
| them that no one was by any
means dissatisfied when they hac
| finished. Last, but not least in
improvement in class singing,
came Atlanta class. They have
been greatly praised by those
who know how to judge music.
The convention adjourned a
$3.50 O'Clock to meet with Verde
church on Saturday and Sunday
