mers from the sale of eggs and
poultry reaches a large total

BIG TREAT FOR BOYS
AND THEIR FRIENDS

On April lila Paris will have
a unique and splendid opportuni
ty for boys from twelve to TWEEN
ty, their fathers, mothers, teach.
ers and friends.
Recently Mr.. C. w. Blake,
one of the trained experts of boy
work under the Y. M. C. A. in
the south visited Paris; and the
result is that the pastors have
united and undertaken to unite
all the. forces concerned in an In.
terchurch Institute and popular
meetings in the interest of boys
in this town and vicinity.
The program and all arrang-
ments will be in the hands of
trained boy specialists, with one
or two noted popular speakers of
experience and ability in this
field. The idea and effort will
be to enlist, first, parents, then
teachers. both of Sunday and day
schools, pastors and all others
rightly interested in this critical
and thrilling concern.
Topics will include all prob
lens relating to boy-hood, from
the most personal and physical
to the highest social and religious
matter. The Institute will open
with a mass-meeting for fathers
and sons on Sunday afternoon.
There will also be at one hour a
meeting for mothers and the
matters of the boy in ,,sa a.g.a.s. " ,'ss

sideration by the Board. Mr..
Shaw is a former Sheriff Of Hay

islature two years ago. He voted
with the fusionists in many of
the contests but supported Hal

inee, for Secretary Of State. He
had been an applicant for U. S.
Marshal for West Tennessee.
He only applied for the warden
ship a few days before the ap-
pointment was made.
Mr.. Ewell had also been an
applicant for only a few days.
1t is said that he was assured of
the appointment before he made
application, butlsomething caused
a change at the last and Mr..
Shaw was named.

EASTER SERVICE FIRST
METHODIST CHURCH

Next Sunday, April 4th. will be
the glad and glorous Easter. Al
the First Methodist Church here,
the day will mark the elimination
of month of earnest work in
personal evangelization also. This
is a part of a nation wide effort
on the part of churches of many
denominations in city, town and
country Throughout the Lenten
season. In Los Angeles two hun
dred and sixteen protestant
churches have been banded to-
gether, two thousand Christian
people pledging their personal ef-
forts, and setting for a goal the
reception of five thousand per-
sons into the churches of Christ.
In st. Louis, where the movement
had its origin some two years
ago, and where over two thous-
and people were led to declare
their faith and enter the church
the first year, there are more
than twelve hundred Christian
people definitely enrolled in the
same work again. In Nashville,
Memphis, Birmingham and in
smaller places the whole country
over, the spirit of personal Chris
tian invitation has taken the
minds of the churches, and it is
not difficult to see that the pros
pect for substantial and perma-
nent growth is the very best in

died at his home, of Nashville
at 11:30 o'clock Friday night.
His death was due to urenic
poisoning. He had suffered
from kidney affections for sever

not become serious until a little
over two weeks ago. For the
past several days no hope had
been entertained for his recov-

Mr.. Garrett was probably the
most active Mason in Tennessee.
He had attained to the highest
rank in both rites of that ancient
and honorable order, being a
Knight Templar and a thirty
third degree Mason; was a pro-
| found student of Masonic histo-

plished ritualist in all the bodies,
and a jealous disseminator of
Masonic faith. He knew the
Masonic situation in Tennessee
as no other man knew it, and
was personally acquainted with
the membership of practically al
the lodges, chapters, councils
and commanderies in all the
towns and country places in the
state.
