District Conference.

The District Conference, which was
held at Tompkinsville, was a very sue
cessful one, a deep interest being man.
ifested from the beginning until the
closing. All the charges were rep
resented either by minister or lay
men. The reports showed that Meth.
odism was growing in the district.
The Conference was presided over by
Rev. w. F Hogard, and during the
session many interesting talks were
made and several able sermons. To
show that the work of Presiding Ed
er Hogard was highly appreciated,
Conference presented him with gold
watch. The next District Conference
will be held at jamestown in June,
1916. Messrs. Edward Hill, F. G.
Land, J. T. Goodman and T. K. Chism
were elected delegates, on the first
ballot, to attend the annual Confer
ence which will convene in Hartford
the last of September.

Big Pike Meeting.

Nelson, Washington, Marion, Tay-
lor, Adair, Russell and Clinton county
citizens are urged to attend pike
meeting in Columbia, Friday, June IL.
The object of the meeting is to per-
fleet an organization and make a fight
for the Short Route highway from
Louisville to Chattanooga. The Ten.
nessee counties along the route have
already voted bonds, and it is now up
to the Kentucky counties to do their
part. This pike, if built, will benefit
the counties through which it will
pass more than a trunk railway line.
Tennessee will be represented at the
Columbia meeting, and all counties
interested should send an enthusiast
tic delegation.

The Pearl Industry.

We learn from parties, who live on
Cumberland river, that as soon as the
stream gets low, the pearl industry
will be lively. Beginning about the
middle of July the banks will be lined
with men, who open the mussels as
fast as they are grabbed and landed.
Some very valuable pearls have been
found between Rowena and Creels-
boro, and number of citizens, who
do not 60 to the river, deal in them,
the local buyer sending to New York
market. Quite number of pearls
have been found in the past that
brought over one hundred dollars each.
The men who 60 out in the river to do
the grabbing are generally employed
by spectators at so much a day for
their labor.

Locoal Papers. Take Notice.

Springfield, Lebanon, Campbells-
vile and BardStown papers will please
make note of the big pike meeting at
Columbia on Friday, the flth, and
urge their respective counties to send
strong delegations. The short route
is what we are after and quick steps
must be taken. The Tennessee coun-
ties on the line of the short route
have already voted bonds, and they
are anxious for the Kentucky coun-
ties to act and to act at once. A
Chattanooga capitalist proposes to
build the bridge across Cumberland
river. There has never been such an
opportunity for the named Kentucky
counties to get -thoroughfare that
will be of untold benefit, not only To-
cally, but to a large portion of the
State.

citement is running high in Middles.

An Ideal Citizen.

There is a gentleman in this town,
known to us all, who is just about our
ideal of good citizen.
He is making his money here, he is
raising and educating his family here,
aud he expects to live here and die
here.
When he has money to spent he
first looks carefully over the adver-
tisements in this paper. If he finds
what he wants he goes there and gives
that merchant the first opportunity.
In every thing he buys he gives the
home merchant the preference. g.
He occasionally buys articles from
abroad, but they are cases wherein he
cannot find that which he seeks in his
own community. .r
He believes in his home town, and
because he does believe in it and in
tends to continue to live in it he
grasps every possible means of advanc.
ing its interests by keeping his money
in circulation &C home.
He, to our mind, is the ideal cit
izen.
Would that he were multiplied a
thousand fold.
For we need more of him.
