COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION.
To be Held at Hankinson, Mon
day and Tuesday, May
2@th and 26th
AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM
Delegates Expected from Near-
ly Every Sunday School
In Richland Co.

From all indications the at
tendance at the Hankinson Sun
day School Convention, May "a
25, will be very good. Only
few of the Sunday Schools in the
county have been heard from,
but these schools have promised
us at least 40 delegates. Mr..
Geo. Worner, Great Bend, pres
ident of the Richland County S.
$. Association, says that this
coming convention promises to
be one of the best ever held in
the county. Th.. following pro-
gram speaks for itself as to the
attractiveness of the convention.
Surely every one interested in
the Sunday School will want to
hear the message these speak
ers will have, but especially what
Mr.. and Mrs. Snow will have to
say.

WHAT IT MEANS TO
HIGHLAND COUNTY
Wahpeton's fast Growth with
nichland county's Help
Means Much
TO Us And EVERYBODY
Should Pull Hard Together for
the next Five
Years

The citizens of Richland Coun-
ty are to be congratulated on
the fine showing that Wahpeton
just made in the last census.
The people couldn't hardly be-
1ieve that it is the truth. Why
should the people of Richland
county be congratulated? Be-
cause Wahpeton is the county
seat and where they come to do
their busines. They gave us
our county court house, a magnif
cent building, one that has the
smile of Richland all over it
and can been seen for miles be-
yond the borders of the county
that heads the fertile valley of
the Red.
Another thing they gave to
Wahpeton is it's splendid corp Of
county officials and clerks who not
only boost for Wahpeton, but
for Richland county. Their pleas
ant smiles and faces, besides be-
ing among the .ablest men in the
county for their respective posi-
tions, donates many ten-fold to
make up that fifty-one hundred
people.
Now let all of us get Oh the
band wagon for the next five years
and hit the dirt for all she's worth
Don't take time to knock, but
spend your leisure time by boost
ing Richland County, and as re-
suit watch and see if Wahpeton
don't double its present popula-
toin and make each and ever viii
lage in the county what it should
be.
Let everybody who lives in Rich
land county try hard for the next
five years, when you write to a
friend in some other county, state
or country, boost Richland Co.,
for all you are worth. Let every
body plug and plug hard to ele-
vate your work to more ideal
business, no matter what you are
doing. Try and increase your
total earnings, make everything
count. Never say fail, but try
harder next time. That's he way
that old Richland will make the
echoes ring in the ears of the
people that never knew there ev-
er was such a county. Don't be
afraid. Work together when it,
is necessary. Don't let few
people do all the boosting.
Make life i'm the country
throughout Richland County
what it should be. Form your
community clubs and have your
real good times. It's worth the eff

RESOLUTION.

December 23rd, 1914, was sad
day for Bamberg county, and more
especially sad for the Bambers Bap-
tist church, as that day death loon
from us our esteemed Brother G. b.
Free. His name is familiar to all;
even most of the children In the
county. While he served the county
as clerk of court most efficiently ever
since the organization of this county,
his services there cannot be missed
as his church misses him and MS
sunshine.
To US it seemed in the prime of
his life, in the highest achievements
at his every post, he died in his toth
year. He united himself with our
church in his early years; since then
he has faithfully and persistenuy
worked in every way Christian
could. He served especially as chair
man of the board of trustees, and
chairman of the finance committee.
He was also member OF the eXecu-
tive committee of the BarnWell ana
Bamberg Baptist association. His
name was known as Free in deed,
in spirit, in love. Many who never
saw him realized this in sIpstan-
tial way. We know he did not want
his deeds of kindness and charity
made public. Many interesting IN.
cidents could be recorded; he did
not want them mentiorea then, SO
we will not mention them now, but
will mention one striking receipt
from DR.. c.. C.. Brown, chairman OF
aged ministers relief board, re"
years ago. DR.. Brown wrote the re-
ceipt: Received OF Brother &. b.
Free-dollars,' and on the other
side wrote: Il C. you B. Free" That
was easy enough for US to read and
understand.
Brother Free leaves in his home
his wife, one son and four daughters
besides he had three married sons
and one married daughter. We
therefore thank God for his life and
pray that it may be a stimulus to
those of us still left in his service.
In view of the above loss; be 1t re-
solved by us as church:
.1st-This obituary be sent to the
Baptist Courier and our county pa
pers.
2nd-That a blank page in our
minute book be inscribed to his mem
ory.
3rd-That a copy of this obituary
and resolutions be sent to the be-
reaved family.

Pointed Paragraphs.

Even a cheap skate may cut quite
a lot of ice.
If you would avoid the fire keep
out of the frying pan.
Beware of the bachelor who acts
as if he were proud of it.
A man in trouble always appre-
ciates friend-until he gets out.
If a girl has money to burn she
can easily secure a parlor match.
Between a stubborn man and a
mule our choice seems to favor the
mule.
Almost every woman likes to have
a husband that she can snub occa-
sionally.
Too many men waste their time
trying to construct molehills out of
mountains.
Lazy men evidently don't believe
in the theory that heaven helps those
who help themselves.
The great trouble with experience
as a teacher is that the knowledge
she imparts comes too late.
Our idea of cunning man is one
who has educated one set Of his fac
ulties and let all the others go by
default.
A flirt doesn't deserve the peace
full fate of a spinster. She should be
forced to wed a shiftless man and
take in scrubbing to support him.
