END OF MCCULLOUGH WILL CASE.
Supreme Court Dismissed Appeal and
Nettie Andrews Golden Comes Into
lpdispmed Possession Of Farm.

The story of John Mccullough
growing up from childhood in
the Gale family in Bethel town
ship, inheriting the farm and
personal property upon the death
Of the Gales, and then, in turn,
willing the property to Miss Net
tie Andrews (now Mrs. Edward
Golden), has been told more than
once in the NEWS. 1t has been
told that Johns relatives made
an effort to break the will main
ly upon the ground that John
was too near deaths door when
he made the will to act intelli-
gently, and that interested par
ties unduly influenced him in the
making of his will. All this was
threshed out in the courts of Full
ton County, and Judge Swope
filed a decree sustaining the will.
The attorneys for the heirs
took an appeal from Judge
Swope's decision and carried the
case up to the Supreme Court.
The matter came up before that
body in Harrisburg Monday af-
ternoon. M. R. Shaffner, Esq,
appeared as attorney for the ex-
ecutor of the will, Mr.. w. B.
Ranck, on account of the appel
lants having failed to perfect
their records, the appeal was dis
missed, and Mrs. Golden now be-
comes possessed of the property
in accordance with the original
terms of the will.

nANA'u ipl lHt NEWS
Why don't we take more inter-
est in and read our bible more?
We are subscribing for new pa
pers, and running subscriptions
to old ones, and read almost every
thing that is in them either good
or bad, while our poor old bible
the only thing the dear Lord
could leave us when he suffered
and died for our sins-is left ly-
ing on the shelf covered with
dust and perhaps untouched or
only skinned thru. 1t should
be read daily and meditated over
hourly. He has left this blessed
book for us to study and believe,
so that when the last great day
comes, we may have our lesson
learned and be able to stand be-
fore the Master as learned and
obedient scholars.
Oh yes, if we were going to
mingle in some great society,
we would have our etiquette book
studied and committed so that
we would not make one mistake.
Then, why don't we take more
interest in reading the Book our
salvation and eternity depends
on ? Think reader, of that great
word ETERNITY! What does
it picture to you? ? Are you a
reader of the bible, and have you
your lesson learned well and your
ticket bought and know that you
are on the railroad that leads to
heaven Or, are you rushing
recklessly on the train to distruc-
tion ?
Was it in vain God sacrificed
his only son for you =?

that a change in climate would
be beneficial to his health. In
this he has been disappointed,

SABBATH SCHOOL WORKERS.
Thirty Seventh Annual Convention Of
the 7. c. S. S. Association held
Last Thursday aud Friday.


Last Thursday aud Friday.
1t was a goodly ASSEMBLY Of S.
S. workers that met in the High
School Auditorium, May IS and
10, 1916. The convention would
have been more representative of
the schools of the County, if the
corn planting had been more ad-
vanced. AS it was, the most
earnest and devoted of the coun-
ty workers were on hands, and
a large turn out of the local COM
munity made up an audience of
from 200 to $50. The attention
was very good except for a few
persons who were not able to Sc
cure seats. Forty schools re-
ported. There are still about ten
schools unreported. Will the To-
cal Superintendent very kindly
report or have their secretaries
do so at their earliest convent
ence, as the books must be closed
on or about June /, The Secre-
tary cannot secure this data with
out your aid. The aim of the
State force is to increase the
membership Of the schools to
10000. In order to secure this
increase, IL will be necessary,
not only to work for the accession
Of new members, but to report,
so that each school may be rep
resented and have full credit
with its numerical strength. A
compliance with this request will
save the Secretary a great deal
Of unnecessary work and worry.
The nominating committee re-
ported the following list of of
ficers to serve for the ensuing
year who were duly elected:
President, A. U. Mace, McCon-
nellsburg; Vice President, Ezra
Clevenger, Hustontown, Pa;
Corresponding Secretary, w, C.
Patterson, McConn ellsburg;
Treasurer, w. L. Mace, McCon-
nellsburg; Elementary Superin-
tendent, Miss Minnie Reisner; o.
A. B. C. Superintendent, Hon.
Jno. P. Sipes; Home Department
Superintendent, Mrs. C. B. Ste-
vens; Teachers Training Super
intendent, Rev. Lewis While,
Dane, Pa; Temperance Superin-
tendent, c. j. Brewer; Mission
ary Superintendent, Miss Blanche
Smith, Warfordsburg, R. r. l;
Rural Schools Superintendent,
Albert X. Nesbit. Newly elect
ed officers will please note this
list.
Many schools in the County
have neglected to send in to the
Secretary their yearly offering.
Delinquent schools will kindly at
tend to this matter. 1t is not a
large sum for each school, and
yet if the school wishes to be
identified with the County and
State organization, 1t must con-
tribute its share toward the nec-
essary expense of conducting the
organization.
The Convention next year will
be held at Needmore.

We note with interest that the first bank failure in Mississippi has occurred since the guaranty of bank deposits act went into effect year and a half ago. and all the depositors in the defunct institution were promptly paid Tn full out of the state guaranty fund maintained for that pur- pose In this connection, it is a noteworthy fact that in Okia- homa, where a similar law has been in operation for a number of years, that to date not a single depositor has lost a nickel through bank failure in that state. There have been bank failures. of course, but in every case depositors have been paid out of the guaranty fund the full amount due them. In both these states these acts were bitterly opposed, but to IL they appear to be exce!,ent nicces of legis- lation.
