eral dances and songs suitable for the
annual May Day program which will
be held, as usual, in Anon park. These
annual events are looked forward to
with as much pleasure by the parents
and friends as by the little folks
themselves, and it is greatly to the
credit of the teachers that they take
the time and interest to bring their
pupils up to the perfection which they
attain in the various songs and dances.

Quoting services this week for the
Richland Christian church, is drawing

finished his repast he called the wait

gratified. Visions of a handsome tip
fioated before his minds eye, and he
rubbed his hands gleefully.
"But," resumed the customer, "its
bad point is this-it has no coffee in
it."

Joe Koelsch is having all the big
popular trees transplanted from close

necessary by the fact that Mrs.

Of roses in front of the house as well
as climbing roses all over the new
porch. The big trees absorbed all the
moisture so that the vines and roses
withered up and died. This is only
one more instance of the work being
done toward making Richland more
beautiful spot to live in.

Thru the interest Of Professor T. j.
Newbill, of Pullman College and the
cooperation of C. D. Lille and Walter
Holt in the local faculty, there have
been organized in the Richland school
three clubs. These are the corn, hog
and garden clubs, and any member OF
the local organizations is entitled to
membership in the national clubs. In
order to compete in the corn club, the
boys must plant at least one acre OF
corn; in the hog club the necessary
equipment is one hog and the garden
club requires that its members plant
at least one-tenth of an acre of gar
den stuff. The boys are taking very
active interest in the organizations
and have already elected their Of
ficers for the year. Competent men
will be appointed as visiting COM
mittee and it will be their duty to
look out for the boys; measure up the
ground to be planted, etc. Profess
ors Lille and Holt will help the little
fellows all they can, but of course, the
success of the venture depends upon
the boys own, individual efforts. This
work is being done under the patron
aye of the United States department
of agriculture and its results are
;ook ed forward to with great deal OF
interest by the parents Of the boys.

derstood but little. Many OF these trpf,,.
were understood and mentioned by the
inspired writer's ages ago. Their knowl-
edge came by Inspiration, later scien-
lists arrived at the same truths thru
laborihg efforts. but even the lowIiest
OF ours may learn a little by the helm
OF the Great Teacher. Also the works
OF these men of genius are open In ne
we wish to learn. But the Apostle
refer intimates that we are willingly
ignorant concerning geological useach
ana ne also states that "the land was
formed out Of water and by means Of
water The Pikeville correspondents
speaks OF coal being formed under
water but We see Peter refers TO this
long before the fact was discovered nv
geological reseach that the earth was
formed by the action of water ana
that the water stood above the noun
talns, IS a recently discovered geologic
cal truth. But away back in the old
Bible we read: Thou coverest the
earth with the deep as with a garment
me waters stood the mountains. At
thy rebuke they fled; at the voice OF
thy thunder they hasted away. the
mountains ascend, the valleys descend
into the place thou hast founded for
thern. Though we have been slow I'm
understanding these passages plainly
reier 10 that period of formation when
the earth was under water. But the
unusual discovery of the petrified
stump mentioned by the PikeviIIe COR
respondent suggests that our Kenturky
nils may yet furnish some new con-
tributon to the world Of science while
her blocks of sunshine are being lifted
from their ancient beds for our coal IA
but stored up sunshine of ages past.
And as the vast coal fields are being
developed there should be a deveIon-
ment along other lines as well. Long
did moonshine, fendalism and litter
acy make some parts OF our remote
mountain country infamous. but NOV
that her sunshine is making her IA
nous and development is the watch
word, ignorance and vice must .iee
away as mists before the sun. And Big
Sandy may yet take her place in the
world OF art, science, religion and lit
erature.

Rev. b. X. De Voc and the Christian
church Of Blaine have been fortunate
in securing tht services Of Evangelist
Roger II. Fife OF Plymouth, Ind, to
conduct revival meeting for them,
beginning on Sunday, the 21st inst. and
continue perhaps two or three weeks.
Evangelist Fife is the Secretary Of the
National Association OF Evangelists Of
the Churches Of Christ, and is one OF
the most prominent and popular in
that religious body. He is man Of
national reputation, and this oppor-
tunity TO hear him will be one that ev-
erybody. regardless Of denomination or
creed. should avail himself OF.
He is native Kentuckian, and edu-
Gated at the State University and Col
lege Of the Bible at Lexington, and is
one Of the most successful evangelists
IN the field He is a very busy man,
and will not stay in this community a
day longer than the interest Of the
meeting will require. II will therefore
be very important that everybody turn
out at the first service to hear his
great preacher. and continue to do so
till the close.
He will also take charge of the mu-
sic. and all singers Of the community
are invited TO attend regularly and as
sist In the singing A cordial invita-
ton is extended TO everybody 10 attend

EAST POINT.

Our Pike county correspondent pro-
pounds some very interesting scientific
questions and wants to know who cut
that stump and ate that peach some
thirty million years ago. As there are
no historical records OF that remote age
even OF the oldest Asiatic races. we
can only make guess-work of what
was happening on Marrowbone OF Big
Sandy and this correspondent sur
misses that il might have been one OF
those prehistoric giants who cut the
stump and ate the peach. 1t is evident
that having felled the big tree. he would
be weary and naturally enough sit
down on the stump and eat the peach
es incidentally leaving the seed. But
seriously speaking. these questions are
timely and worthy OF consideration for
earth may yet be made to yield up her
record IN the past. So many wonderful
discoveries have already been made. IL
is possible we may yet read all the
past and obtain broad hints OF the
future thru the discoveries Of geology
