entering, the guests were served
frappe by Miss Pearl, the attractive
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Craig.
Several interesting numbers were on
the program. Col S. B. Anderson
gave a most amusing reading after
which he responded to a. hearty en-
core. Beautiful solos were rendered

Pearl and Katherine Craig.
Miss Nola Byrne, the missionary
corresponding secretary of the Leba-
non District gave an interesting talk
followed by one no less interesting by
Mrs A. Algood, a representative of
the Aid. The two societies spent a
most delightful afternoon together,
and we are sisters indeed, doing good
for the Master.
At the closing hour delightful re-
freshments were served by Misses
Pearl and Katherine Craig, assisted by
Misses Kate Williams, Bertha Ensor
and Ruby Dow. Despite the inc1ement
weather the afternoon was thoroughly
enjoyed by all present, because our
good pastor and wife are royal enter
tainers. Mrs. ID. E. Slagle.

GOOD DISTRICT CONFERENCE
Held at AIsood Last Week

The 1916 meeting of the Lebanon
District Conference of the M. E. Church.
South, held at Algood last week, will
go down in its history as one of the
best sessions ever held. There was a
splendid attendance of its members,
and the royal manner in which the ex-
cellent people of Algood entertained
their guests will never be forgotten.
The conference was presided over by
Rev. H. B. Blue, the presiding elder of
the sdistrict; and the secretary was
Rev. I. E. Marshal of Gordonsville,
with Mr.. C. H. Clark of Buffalo Valley
as assistant secretary. Busy sessions
were held each morning and afternoon,
and many interesting discussions of
vital questions took place. The several
committees all made splendid reports,
several of which brought out some
good and helpful discussions.
The conference was honored with
quite a number of noted visitors,
among them being Rev. A. E. Clements,
commissioner of the Galloway hospital
of Nashville; Rev. John Durrett of
Dickson, assistant editor of the Mid
land Methodist; Miss Nola Byrne of
Monterey, in the interest of the Wo-
mans Missionary Society; Prof. H. A.
Morgan of the State College of Agri-
culture; all of whom addressed the
conference on their special subjects.
Of course the preaching was of
high order, being done by such strong
men as S. M. Keathley, j. L. Smother
man, W. M. Martin, A. E. Clement
and R. j. Craig. Crowds filled the
church at every service.
The conference decided to hold its
next meeting at Grassy Cove, in Cum
berland county, and delegates to the
annual conference were elected as fol-
lows: c. H. Hickman, C. H. Clark, J.
P. Nichols and Grin Lynch, with D. C.

The closing exercises of Central
High School commencement took place
in the City school building Monday
night according to the program print
ed last week. The building was pack

KEYNOTE of which was that education

work, and service to their fellow-man,
should be the goal of their ambition.

GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES.
For Big Investors They May Work, but
Not For Small Ones,

"Those who labor hard for their
money and who have still more ardu
Gus struggle in saving small sums"
says a banker in the American Maya
zine naturally fall easy victims In
many instances to the desire for sud
den riches. But the fatal error lies In
supposing that the person Of small
means can afford to take the chance.
If he or she loses they lose all. The
large capitalist and the professional
money lender have the law of averages
working with them They can afford
to sink money into twenty ventures If
they make thousand per cent on one.
They are protected by the law of
chance, the average safety Of their in
vestments depending upon no single
risk.
"Risk is a necessary part of bust
ness, but should be borne by the strong,
never by the weak. The promoter who
talks about the small investor being
given the same opportunities as the
very rich is INDUCING in bunk He
always forgets to say that a safe B

gage, cold, impersonal repositories for
funds will at the end Of five years
have paid their owners 80 per cent to
35 per cent ALLOWING for compound in

new ventures with big promises will
have paid nothing.
"Only the man who can afford to
take risks has any business to look for
an investment that will make him rich

STATE NEEDS CLEANING.
Former Governor Mcconnell Not Sur
prised that Republicans Arose in Arms.

Boise. November l0.-ExGovernor
w. j. Mcconnell of Moscow gave out
a statement today in which he voices
his approval of the reelection of Cover
nor Moses Alexander and Democrats to
state offices surrounding him with
cabinet to be used to carry out his
policies in the hope that conditions at
the state house may be ren,edied. Par
ticularly is this true of the state land
department, which for many years has
been one of he most bitter bones of
contention, politically. Mr.. Mcconnell
is in Bose today, having been called
here on business. He gave out the fol
lowing interview, of unusual signifi
canoe due to his prominence as one OF
the leading Republicans of northern
Idaho:
"That Idaho is Republican state is
strongly evidenced by the vote given
Nominees Smith and French for con-
gress, but O great many thoughtful per-
sons, Republicans, have believed, and do
believe, that Governor Alexander has
not been given fair chance during his
present term, handicapped as he has
been by Republican majority on all
the state boards, besides having a Re-
publican Legislature, which ignored
many of his suggestions looking to rn-
form.
"Then, again, the Republican nomi-
nee for governor, d. w. Davis, an
nounced and advocated plan for the
disposal of all the state lands and the
creation of fund which would event
ually relieve the taxpayers of Idaho
from paying any taxes. This plan of
his. which while attractive to many
electors, was considered visionary and
Elusive by every person who is familiar
with the Idaho constitution and ad-
mission act; hence, Mr.. Davis lost many
votes in consequence.
"There is avery general belief that
the state board of land commissioners
has not performed it's full duty with
relation to the school moneys and other
funds belonging to the state, and while
it is true that Governor Alexander is
member of the commission, or land
board, it is also true that he is mi
nority member, with four opposing
members against him, all Republicans.
The Republican party has had control
of all the state boards as well as the
legislature for years, yet the Huston
loan is not the only evidence of their
incompetence and favortism. 1t is my
belief that the Republicans have done
well to show their disapproval of its
nominees by electing Governor Alex
ander and giving him cabinet that
will work in harmony with him In
common with the majority of persons
who know Governor Alexander, / be-
lieve that with new cabinet in har-
mony with his iedas Of reform, we may
expect that all the interests of Idaho
will be safeguarded during his second
term.'
