Important Work

Under normal conditions the work
of the county agent has been fraught
with splendid results but under pres
ent conditions the value of this work
can hardly be estimated. 1t has been
a hard matter to get our farmers to
fully appreciate the value of the free
bulletins that are constantly being is
sued by the Department of Arigcul-
ture, and the county agent is not only
bringing the facts contained in these
bulletins to the attention of the farm
er but he is making demonstrations
that are convincing the farmer that
scientific and intensive farming pays.
Now that the nation is facing a great
crisis that will likely result in an un-
usual demand for food products, the
suggestion and aid of the county
agent will be invaluable. 1t is the
desire of the max-Madisonian to
cooperate in any way possible with
the agents and reports of the work
being done will be given prominent
space in the paper, as we feel that il
is an important work and should re-
ceive more general recognition.

GREAT INTEREST
MANIFESTED
In The Brooks LetUiS
Revival

If the Brooks-Lewis revival does
not revive the languishing interest in
religious matters here, it will not be
the fault of Messrs. Brooks and Lew
is nor the good women of the city.
Rev. Brooks is preaching good, prac-
tical sermons and Brother Lewis is
charming the people with his singing.
The combination draws like a mus
tard plaster. 1t gets you there and
warns you up. The good women are
working like beavers, making a house
to house campaign and inviting every
body to come out and take part in the
meeting. Its my meeting, your meet
ing, our meeting, without church dis
tinction.
The young folks have become inter-
ested in the services and have organ
lied a splendid chorus and this,
strengthened by musical instruments
and adult voices, makes splendid sing
ing.
The meeting is fairly begun and
this week will show some of the best
efforts ever put forth in this city. If
any one fails to get an invitation, its
because he cannot be found. A card
will be left under his door showing
him that the ladies have called on
him.
The doors are open. Come and
make it your meeting. Your pres
ence will encourage others.

College Hill.

A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held at College Hill, Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock. About one
hundred farmers, their wives and
daughters, attended this meeting and
great interest was manifested. The
meeting was addressed by Mr.. Ben
Boggs, County Farm Agent, and Mr.
C. c. Thomas. The people of the Col
lege Hill neighborhood are wide-a-
wake, active and progressive citizens.
This is one of the greatest sections
of the county for the production of
food supplies. Here fine watermel-
ons, fruits and vegetables are grown
in great abundance, and the ladies
take deep interest in the canning of
fruits and vegetables. Seven new
members were added to the Girls
Canning Club, which makes this the
largest community club in the county.
We congratulate the good people of
College Hill upon their splendid worK
and trust that other communities will
follow their example.
