Moore, City School teachers, and
Rev. j. W. Flynn tackled How
We Can Improve Our Sunday
Schools, y and we hardly see how
anything more could have been
said when they had finished. All
three made splendid talks. We
knew they would before they got
on the floor.
About this time two young lady
Sunday School teachers began to
show certain signs Of something
impending. From long exper-
ience we guessed that the thing
impending originated behind two
large folding doors located in the
extreme East of the Basement of
the church. Our guess was right
for very soon appeared m an y
waters bearing many trays load
ed with things that cheered the
inner man. This luncheon was
just right. We desire to extend
right here and now TO the mem.

mittee the fluctuations of the re-
cipients.
The whole affair was we'll ex-
ecuted. Ii was purposed and ey
ecuted TO promote good fellow
ship among the denominations OF
Marion, to instil into each anC
every one of us a broader and
more liberal spirit of good feel
ing for our neighbors and fellow
workers in Christ's Kingdom; t
show the teacher the view point
! of his fellow teacher, and t
make us all better teachers anC
officers.
1t was certainly a success.

Has Lived In Florida The Past Sew

Child Born In Marion.

week Of the sudden death at
Gainesville, Florida, Of Rev.
James w. Bigham. The report
was verified by letters received
IN the city by relatives, which
stated that his death occurred
Thursday afternoon Jan. l4th at
4 O'Clock and was caused by acute
indigestion. He was up and well
and ate a hearty dinner, after
which he went to the church to
conduct the Missionary Confer
ence which was in session there.
He was stricken at 3 O'Clock
and was taken home as soon as
il was seen that he did not rally
and everything possible was done
but his spirit took its flight at
four o'clock. The funeral took
place Saturday afternoon. The
Gainesville paper says the follow
ing Of the deceased:
The funeral of Rev. James
W. Bigham, the late presiding
elder Of the GAINESVILLE District
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, was conducted at the First
Methodist church Saturday after
noon at $3.50 O'Clock. 1t was
largely attended, scores of min
listers and others from all parts
OF the state who had labored
with who loved him for his many
achievements for the cause Of
humanity, both on earth and in
the world to come, being present.
The caSket was almost hidden
by scores of floral tributes, some
of which came from friends afar
| off Among these tributes were
wreaths from the various church
organizations, including tn {
board Of stewards. the Woman's
Missionary Society, the Epwortf
League and the Philathea class,
The chancel and choir rails
were draped, and great quanti
ties of flowers. humanity's mos
loving testimonial to cherished
ones gone before, formed a Wis
ion of solemn beauty.
Rev. c, H. Summers, pastor o
the First Methodist Church, pre-
: sided over the service, whicl
opened with the singing of tn
; hymn, Servant of God, We

ed that these and dates
would be exceedingly slow to
act, in fact, they would decline
to make a nomination for and on
behalf of the voters of four
great counties, with out first
having been delegated with auth
ority so to do. This proposition
is in effect to let less than all
of the Democratic lawyers Of

deny to all other voters a voice

shall be. While | have an abid.

ton made by them for and on

been denied a voice in the Sc

inenly right and just to let every

Your next method proposed is
tD permit the Democrat voters
residing within the corporate
limits of Madisonville to make
this nomination. 10 me. this is
quite as Objectionable as leaving
the matter in the hands of a few
lawyers. However, have talk
ed within the last few days to
quite a number of Democrats
living in Madisonville. and their
expressed opinion confirms my

ing majority Of the Democratic
voters Of this city are enthusias-
tically supporting my candidacy.

PRUNE RASPBERRY CANES
Object Should Be to Grow Berries, Not
Woody Notwithstanding Out
' Destroys. Many Insects.

Though the two main varieties of
raspberry, black ard red, need slight
ly different treatment, the time and
manner of pruning are greatly similar
with both kinds.
The blackcaps do not put out new
growth from the root stalks, as the
red varieties do, hut new plants are
started from tips of the old plants.
These are bent over and covered light
3y in August, after which they send
ont rootlets and can be taken up the
following spring as new plants, to be
set out where they are needed.
These new plants need to be pinched
back to a height OF 1S inches, SO that
they. will throw out more lateral
branches. These are the branches
which bear fruit, and it is very impor.
tant that they be numerous.
In addition to this first pruning, the
winter or early spring pruning should
be done to get rid Of the old canes

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
Stirring Of Soil Helps 70 Conserve
Moisture Young Trees Given
Longer Period of Growth.

) The apple growers are nearly all
practicing clean cultivation in their
orchards, says a writer In Indiana
Farmer. This indicates that cultiva-
ton is the quickest method of bring
Ing young trees to bearing age and
perhaps it is the best method to pur-
sue in gaining annual crops. From my
own experience and knowledge gained
from growers in all parts of the coun-
try, I am convinced that apple trees
set on rolling or nearly level land will
come into bearing two or three years
earlier If given annual cultivation.
It makes very little difference wheth-
-er the land be Intercepted or not,
provided sufficient fertilizing material
is added to grow the extra plants. The
stirring of the soil seems to help in
conserving the moisture and gives the
young trees longer period OF growth
each year than they have under sod
methods. It is well to remember that
a cover crop should be put in late in
the summer to afford the roots some
protection from the winter cold.
When crops are grown between the
frees, something should be raised
that can be taken off early enough to
allow for this. In the northern Sec
lions, rye or winter vetch is perhaps
Best. l think it a good plan to alter.
nate these for cover in the growing
orchard. Farther south there is moth
fng that can compare with crimson
clover for this purpose. An orchard
banded after this method makes
rapid growth up to the bearing age. l
have continued it after bearing, with
the result that some Of the trees have
formed the habit of annual bearing.
To my mind this Is most important.
With the older orchards, sod meth
ods with the grass mulch and annual
top dressing of manure produce excel
lent results. This means considerably
less work. My experience indicates
that cultivation is of value where it
can be practiced with convenience.
Where the trees are left in sod, the
grass should be moved and left under
the trees to hold the moisture. One
cannot successfully take crop Of hay
and crop of apples from the same
land, unless heavy fertilization is prac-
iced.
