Campaign for Veteran Preachers

Campaign for Veteran Preachers.
The following communication has
been sent to THE News on the above
subject:
1.-THE Mount Holly group of twenty
five churches were on the firing line,
Sunday, with laymen occupying the
pulpits, making their plea for the
Methodist Episcopal veteran preacher,
as they saw the necessity of providing
for his retired years. They desired he
should be provided for; that, as the
close of day is most beautiful and at.
tractive, so his days may be beautiful
in comfort; as an heritage for his great
work and hardships suffered in doing
the will of his Lord and Master, who
said "Go, preach my Gospel"
1.-THE lives of the men who were
friends of your childhood should bt
cared for. They led you to Christ; the,
sanctified your marriage vows; they
walked with you in your veritabl,
Gethsemane; amid the shadows, thei
tears mingled with yours on the grave
of your dead.
"Judge Beaver saws When minis
ter by his ordination vows has volun
tarily closed the avenues by whicl
men ordinarily achieve a competenc,
and afterwards becomes mentally O
physically disqualified for his higl
office or is laid aside by the infirmitie
of age, he has right morally-and i
the truest sense just as much a RICH
legally-to claim support from th
church. We cannot afford to brea
Jour solemn pledge
"Our names are on the bond, and OIL
: Master is the endorser. Can we affol
!, to let His note go to protest."

Chautauqua Uplift

The meeting at the court house, Fri
day evening, to.consider what may b
done by the Chautauqua Association
to better conditions in this town, was
not attended by very large audienct
but the enthusiasm made up for the
lack of numbers.
The ball was started rolling by DR.
Prickitt, a member of the Board of
Health, who wanted to know what the
object of the movement was. There
are four DIVISIONS to be worked on and
one of these is the health department.
DIR. Priclit thought the local Board of
Health was able to take care of all
matters that came to its attention and
this drew forth some pretty sharp criti-
cism on what the Board of Health has
not done in the past. While especial
ailusion was not made to the manner
in which the the quarantine on infantile
paralysis was practically ignored there
might have been much said on that
subject. But there was enough talked
about to show that there was not
universal appreciation of the actions of
the Board of Health.
One speaker called attention to the
fact that there are at least 20 children
who either attend school without
proper nourishment or are compelled
to remain home for the same reason.
DIR. Prickitt, as member of the town.
ship committee, said there did not
seem to be any necessity for this condi-
ton as there is always surplus in the
poor fund. This statement is corrobo-
rated by overseer of the poor Dolan,
who will gladly give aid if he is made
acquainted with the facts. One
speaker thought possibly the fault was |
with the parents; that one, and some
times both. were addicted to strong
drink. On this point the law was read
which shows that parent who ne
elects his family in any way is amen
lble to the law and subject to punish
nent.
1t was decided that conditions in
he town were not SO absolutely perfect
'ut that there was chance for much
,ood work to be done. Mrs George w.
'limm was appointed chairman Of the
on1mittee to look after the educational Il
ecsion; Miss Mary Flynn, chairman
t the recreation committee; and DR..
). d. Prickitt, on health and santa
ion.

NOTES
The Ladies' Aid of the g. A. r. will
have a float in the evening parade.
Watch for the Yama Yama girls in
the parade tonight. They will be ac-
conpanied by the Beverly accordion

ate floats ready for tonight.
The decorators worked nearly all last
night trying to complete their work,
but even then some buildings were not
finished until this morning.
The decorations on the front of the
rooms occupied by the Holly Club are
very attractive. The building is near
ly covered with ropes of holly and
laurel in which are hidden colored
electric lights.
There is no way of estimating the
number of automobiles and floats that
will be in line tonight. The decorators
are keeping their mouths shut tight
about their plans, and there will be
many surprises.
The festoons of colored lights across
the streets have been purchased by tn,
Business Mems Association, and are t.
be stored away for future celebrations
The work of their erection was done by
James H. Anderson.

State Superintendent Harris has

original bills in reference to the
schools which will be presented in
the Legislature next session. One
of the most striking of the new
bills will provide for pensions to
be paid by the State to all teachers
who have taught thirty years in
public schools, twenty-five in Lou

relative to state pensions, princi-

Tractor Pulled Dra6S.

The Tractor that was used on the
streets of the town and Terrace
road, pulling a double drag, has
done a wonderful work in a very
short time. The whole town and
Terrace were dragged in two days
at a cost of $14.50 for all the work,
which is considered very satisfsc-
tory. This shows that if the town
and each ward of the parish had
their own tractor and right kind OF
drag, we would never have more
bad roads.
