Fine Cherries,

P. E. Clack, citizen of the vi
entity of Fremont, has a cherry tree
on his farm that is real wonder.
There are more cherries on the tree
than leaves. The limbs and branches
are fairly loaded, and the most re-
markable part of it the cherries are
two or three times the size of an
ordinary cherry and every single one
of them as sweet and sound and
luscious as any sample ever shown
here. There are no faulty ones. w.
T. Nichols, representing the Old Do
minion nurseries, has been showing
samples of the cherry and says he
will in a few days be ready to take
orders for trees from the grating
of this tree.

should have cradle roll. A home de-
partment for elderly attendants is adj
visable- enlarging Sunday school infiu-
ence. We should give the children
prominent place on the progrom, for
the Sunday school belongs to them.
Sometimes contests for the banner
proves interesting, etc. We should
have a higher standard of efficiency.
Teachers should come thoroughly pre-
pared. The aim OF the Sunday school
should be for the ultimate saving OF
souls for Christ. In the seventeen SUM-
day schools in this convention We notice
that OF the IT'S additions to the church
last year 107 came from the Sunday
schools. 1t is a fact that the POSSIBLE
tiles of Sunday school teacher for soul
winning is great"
After the noon recess the program
was resumed.
Rev. Oakley not being present, the
subject, "A Wide Awake Sunday
School," was ably handled by Messrs.
Tidrow, McCaw and Bonner.
sFor an hour or more Rev. G. M.
Zwingle, of Union City, held the audi
ence closely at attention on the subject,
The Bible Study Usually it is to
smile to have minister begin at Gen.
esis and take you through to Revela-
tions in an hours time. Not so on this
occasion. The beauties and intrinsic
worth of bible study by such SUBJ
jects as law, history, devotion, etc.,
was unfolded in logical, impressive
way that gripped the soul and made
one resolve, II will not sleep be-
fore begin systematic study of the
Holy Book" Rev. Zwingle conclusiyely
proved that the bible is an extensive
library in its entirety. In conclusion
Rev Zwingle admonished the conven-
ton that for Sunday school work we
need prepared teachers for a prepared
work.
T. G. Callicott, we'll known charac-
ter at such great gatherings as this,
worked sugar plum off on the audi
ence by requesting that song by the
quartet be substituted for his part of
the program. 1t was two good things
weighed in the balance, by which the
affable, winning way Of the speaker
won.

PRESBYTERIAN SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION
Convention Held at Rives, May
80 1915.

A convention OF Sabbath schools.
comprising seventeen OF Obion Presby-
terry of the G.. P. Church, convened in
splendid session in Rives last Sabbath,
beginning at 10 O'Clock a. m. President
R. L. Harper called the convention to
order and led the devotional exercises.
WI. Caldwell next addressed the
audience in choicest words OF welcome,
in the closing OF which we note Home
influences are not always ideal, parents
too often being very inconsiderate. We
should set better examples. In viewing
our national capitol, Henry w. Grady
said, There is where our laws are made, ;
but afterwards this great man changed
his opinion, saying, No, the homes are
the foundation of our country The
first Sunday school was organized in
1880 by Robt. Rakes. In four years
the membership increased in the united
kingdom to 250,000 To-day it is a
force second to none for the uplift of
humanity"
Rev. Raymond White not being pres
ent, Rev. Cunningham briefly and cor
daily gave response, stating that we
are now 100000 strong. We will
take the world for Jesus. The object
of this convention is to encourage and
enthuse Sunday schools for better work,
larger attendance and efficient teach
ers.
The roll call showed twelve congrega-
lions represented as follows: Troy, Anti
och, Beech, Campground, Cloverdale,
Crittendon Grove, Mount Ararat, New
Ebenezer, Obion, Pleasant Hill, Union
City. Some of these schools report
splendid attendance. Union City and
Fulton report larger Sunday school
than members, while Crittendon Grove
reports 66 members of the church and
60 in Sunday school attendance. Total
in the seventeen churches is
l 1854, with 1,016 attending Sunday
school.
We come to very we'll handled sub
ject, The Sunday School and Its
Aims" by Rev. Burgess Cunningham.
We can only briefly give few points on
this interesting theme: The derelicts
are the most dreaded of all sea-going
craft. So it is in the pathway Of life.
The kind we want are men with am
bition, able to achieve things. Abra-
ham Lincoln, Thomas A. Edison and
Luther Burbank were and are OF this
class. They leave the world wiser. Sue
cess in life is the elimination of Gods |
purpose. This force should be felt
corporations and organiza-
tons. We must have aims to accom-
plish great things. Our aims in Sun
day school work should be for the at
tendance of larger per cent of the
worlds population. We now have less
than two per cent. Our work should
be billion people as members. Ideality
will be when all elders are Sunday
school workers. We need a broader
All people should be there.
We must make a change, and this is
The object of Sunday school conven-
ions. Obion Presbytery has 1900
members. Only Ga out of 1000 are
Sunday school members. We must
nodernize our Sunday schools. We are

It was found that the injured man was suf- fering from fracture of the skull, fracture of the jaw, a broken nose, and severe cuts and contusions. His right eye is so badly injured that it is feared the sight may be destroyed. There is hope for his recovery. Miss Hargrave's escape from injury was an extremely close one. When Tshe saw that the crash was inevitable she was unable to move before the machines swept past her, after colliding, and went down a two-foot embankment. MT.

LAND DAMAGES
 THREATEN DELI AY
 IN LOWER BRIDGE
Opinion is Prevalent That Condemnation Proceed
 ings Will Be Instituted. ;

The sopinion is prevalent in City HalIs today, that the construction Of Strakford avenue bridge must be con- siderabIy delayed The hearing be- fore the Board of Appraisal of Bene- fits and damages, which took place Tuesday evening, brought out claims for $131 500 for land damages, with lit tie or nothing in the way of benefits to offset the damages.
 This is regarded as delaying the ways Condemnation proceedings are almost certain to be attended to by litigation, as in the case Aof the land occupied by the High School.
 The appropriation for the bridge is mot large enough, even when the pay ment promised by the Connecticut Company is taken into consideration.
 The bridge, plus land damages. is expected to cost more than $500, GOO The evidence taken has caused many business men to revert to the bridge plan proposed by the city plan com mission, which could be built for con siderably less than the bridge pro- posed by the administration, under such conditions that the land damages might be small, or larger, according to whether the city desired a street at the, east approach of the bridge, or desired an approach. planned on a dignified scale
