the Kitty league to elect president

game 50 it's said. Anyway a rea
live wire exists in the person OF Sam
Cromwell. who with others will keep
the cid life in the Kitty as far as
Henderson is concerned.
Mr.. LsRle also learned that Hen.
derson i, in favor of D.. j. D. Cox.
of Cairo, as pre- sident of the Kitty
league. His connections wi h ,hs
c iiro club. which last season proved
the most successful ub. both finan.
cislly ard in winning the pennant,
appear to have qualified him for pro-
motion. Owensboro and Psducah
are for man who will take the rel S
in hand and give the league good
, support and DR.. Cox is said to be
just the man. The election of the
president will take place Sunday and

FORTY YEARS IN CHINA.

The Southern Presbyterian mission
has the honor of being the Oldest mis-
sionary in point of service in Hang
chow, China, Mrs. Mary H. Stuart,
who has just celebrated her fortieth
anniversary of her arrival in China.
cat that time there was not a Chris
tan among all the multitude of $780,
600 souls in this great city. Neither
was there the light of the Gospel in
one of the homes of the millions of
people in all the surrounding country.
WHAT hath God wrought in this half
century! Chapels and Churches, some
Of them self supporting, in every part
of the city and immediate suburbs, in
cities and towns all along the river,
the railway and hundreds of Christian
homes in the rural districts. One has
only to look at the splendid hospital
with it's excellent equipment, its med
ical school and various departments,
to see to what extent the work has
grown in the c. M. S. since the lone
English clergyman came with his lone
Chinese associate, and this is but one
phase of their great work. Mr.. Hud-
son Taylor himself came here in the
early days of the Chinese Inland mis-
sion and their work has spread over
an immense territory. See the spen-
did buildings that crown one of the
most picturesque sites on the winding
Tsien Dang River and you see tho
achievement of our Presbyterian
brethren (North)-the Hangchow
Christian college, where more than
two hundred students are getting the
best that Christian education affords,
This institution is now conducted by
two Presbyterian missions conformity.
A site has just been walled in in the
old Manchu city, on which the new
buildings of the Union Girls School
will soon be erected. This is an
achievement of the Southern Presby-
terians It is now under the two
Presbyterian and Baptist missions,
but was for years the Hangchow Girls
school, founded by our first mission
aries in Hangchow. The Wayland
Academy stands as witness to what
the Baptists have already accom-
Dlished"

SINGING CONVENTION WILL
MEET AT PLEASANT HILL

Mr.. Editor:
The time for the next Singing Con-
vention is at hand. l wish to an
nounce through your paper that the
next convention will be held at Pleas
ant Hill on the 9Th Sunday in May
Pleasant Hill is situated miles west
of Hendersonville near Kanuga Lake
on one of the best roads in the county.
Several times the convention has been
appointed to be held at this place and
each time something happened to in
terfere and this community has not
yet had the pleasure of entertaining
one of our conventions. / therefore
as chairman of the convention do most
urgently request that each and every
choir having heretofore taken part in
said convention be on hand with the
best they have in the way of music.
/ We also especially invite any COM
munity in our county that has not be-
fore sent choir to the convention to
bo with us with well trained class,
that we may be able to repay these
people what they have lost in our fail
ure to be with them before.
When we are working in the cause
of music we need have no fear about
being in the right. Let us all there
fore lay aside our other work for a
day or two and make every effort to
make this a great day for the cause
we represent.

JUsE COMMON SENSE.

Longfellow could take worthless

that's capital The United States can
take an ounce and a quarter Of gold
and make it worth $20-that's money.
"a mechanic can take material worth

worth $1,000-that's skill. There, is a
man in Chicago who can take fifty

art. A Greek can take an article
worth Is cents and sell it for $1-that's
business. A woman could purchase
a hat for Is cents but prefers one

digger handles several tons of earth
for $1.50 a day-that's labor. The
author Of this can write check for
