But NOW new order Of things
prevail. Chickasaw county has a

the convention, and did her part
we'll. We stood ready to entertain
delegates and to help out our Coun-
ty Seat in any way possible
One new feature of the conven-
ton this year was the Mems Parade,
which was a decided success, nearly
500 men being in line. We'are proud
of the Hurley Band. They were
there and nobly did their part. The
music music was fine. The boys can
play for no better cause than that OF
the Sunday School.
Now may we take all we have
learned and gathered by way of
knowledge and inspiration and use
it to make our churches better in the
beautiful little city of Hurley. We
are one in heart and spirit, may we
not use our forces to bring to pass
the Kingdom of God on earth.

sides the contest became close. Each
team succeeded in running in eight
men in the last eight innings, making
the final score twelve to eight fav-
orIng the visitors.
Considering the experience the
boys of the Hurley High School team
have had, we should congratulate

the harmonious out-working of all
the churches, without respect to any
denominational lines or prejudice,
to one great end, namely, the saving
and christian growth Of our youth.
This representative body of all
christians of 800 delegates. repre-
.senting all the counties in the state
but four. met in convention at Par
ker last week. This was the largest
gathering in the history of the as
ISOLATION. Delegates from all over
the state said that they had never
received better treatment or accom-
modations than in the capital of
Turner County. 1t was feast of
good things, and certainly all the
Bible Schools of the County will be
stronger and better.
No letter program has been put
on in the state than the one heard at
Parker last week. The great chorus
choir of the city. trained by Mr..
Golf was fine and are to be congrat-
ulated.
Mr. E. o. Excel Of Chicalo. a
world renowned leader of song. con
Quoted the song services. Mr.. A.
w. Roper, the famous player of
sacred music, was the pianist. These
two great leaders made the conven-
ton worth while. The talent vas
all good and no one who attended
had anything but the highest praise
for the good received.
The present State Secretary is
George &. Miller of Huron. He is
certainly man Of parts. and knows
bow to do things. The success Of
the convention is due to his untiring
efforts to make it go. The secretary
is real live wire, and we foretsll
prosperity for the state work under
his management.
The next meeting will be at Huron
in May 1916. Begin now to plan to
go. Hurley was well represented at

Mothers Day Sermon at Pres
byterian Church

Sunday, May 9th, which had been
set apart as Mothers Dav, was ap-
propriately observed in the morning
service at the Presbyterian church.
The church was made springlikes
and fresh with flowers; ilacs and
white carnations being used to carry
out the color effect Of lavender and
white the Mothers Day colo.s.
The sermon was a beautiful tri-
butte to motherhood. Mr. Patterson
referred to those men whose lives
have been powers for uplift, adj
vancement and Righteousness in the
world: back of each one can be.
traced the training, influence and
faith Of a good mother. Not
only on the individual life is the
mothers power made manifest.
History records religious reforna-
ton, political reconstruction. aid
other changes which have brought
much good to the world, all due to
the influence Of the motherhood OF
the land.
Selecting a white carnation from
out boqnet, Mr. Patterson called
attention TO its perfection. purity
and fragrance as typifving the
mother and her sweet influence.
He said in conclusion that those
qualities of heart and mind which
are peculiar to the mother IN her re-
|lation with her child are attributes
of God himself. The unchanging
love and forgiveness, the patience
and sympathy Of God, suggests the.
thought, new to many of US, of the
Motherhood of Goo. /"
AT the close of the sermon Mrs
Joyce very sweetly sang Moth
|er's Song.

TOBACCO BELT REPORTS
ITS MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR
Increased Yield of High-Grndc Lenf mt
Good Prices, Says Director
John j. Owen.

The tobacco belt of Virginia will
yield the most profitable crop In many
years, according to information re-
ceived from both the dark-leaf and
bright-leaf districts.
John J. Owen, OF the State Depart
ment OF Agriculture. returned yester-
day from the tobacco belt. He reports
an unusual crop in Prince Edward,
Amelia md Lunenburg Counties. The
growers in those counties are jubilant
over the prospect for much larger
yield than last years and better prices
Not only are the crops in the three
counties heavier than last years to-
bacco yield" he said. but the quality
or the leaf is better. In the counties
where the bulk of the supply Of sun
cured tobacco is obtaned--Goochla nd,
Hanover Fluvanna and Chesterfield-
the crop is more than satisfactory in
quality and quantity, but the acreage
is smaller than that of last year
Il talked with one of the best in
formed tobacco men in the district. who
informed me that the price bright to-
bacco Will command on the market will
average around 10 cents.
the corn crop Is unusually good in
every part OF the State. The acreage
given TO corn this year Is. fortunately.
very large In comparison with earlier
