OLD.TIME PREACHER
PASSES TO REWARD

The passing of an old time minis
ter is recorded in the death of Adam
Clark Peters. q preacher of the M. L.
Church, who died at his home at Bur
vills, Morgan County, last week. He
was a circuit rider of the old fashion
ed type. and thought nothing OF a
ride of miles and miles to attend to
his pastoral duties Such trips were
common with him as to ride from
jamestown to Crossville and then to
Pikeville, preaching at intermediate
points, and making the arduous trip
in two to three days time.
All the.old people of Morgan, Fen
tress, Cumberland. BledsOe and Roane
counties knew we'll his kindly face,
and it is doubtful If there is a church,
schoolhouse or hall in these FIVE coun'
ties that he has not preached in. de
Joined the conference in 1879 and bic
first work was on the Crossville Cir
emit His first years work resulted
in ITO conversions and bis emulument
therefor was the meagre sum OF $llO.
He had friends in numbers, who de-
lighted..in his purity of soul. which be
man nifested by his upright living One
Of the themes Of his sermons-and q
favorite one-was the beauty and JOY
Of a pure heart as contrasted with The
blighting effects Of sin and the black
spots it makes upon the soul.

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn, June
16.-At a meeting of the directors OF
the Sequachee.. Valley Fair association,

Engagements were completed for the
meeting Of the Gsir on September 4. 8,
&, and 7, and the interest being taken
by be farmers and others connected
with the fair is keener by far than
ever before. The fact that there is
larger acreage of all kinds OF farm
products in the country this year,
and that the prospects for large and
unusually good yield, assures that toe
exhibits will be more extensive tnan
in previous years.
President W. n. Klein, assisted by
the secretary. is working out the de-
tails and has commenced putting the
grounds in shape. The race track.
which is said to be about the best anu
fastest half mile track in the entire
state. has held its own through the
winter and today very little work Will
have to be done in order to put 1t In
condition. TIE catalog will soon be
ready for distribution. The manage
ment as heretofore, will designate one
day as Chattanooga day. and q
special program will be arranged es'
specially for those who come from that
CITY. The association is receiving
much more encouragement from toe
neople as a whole and the meet THIS
wear will no doubt surpass all other
attempts.

Mike O'Dowd, "The Fighting Harp" Drags
MiddIeWeiqhf Crown From Brow of AL M'Coy

The mlddlewelght crown which for
several years has rested uneasIly on
the brow Of Al Mccoy, the Brooklyn
southpaw, has been clawod from AIS
dome and now adorns the curly head
Of Mike ODowd. THE Fighting
Harp Of St. Paul.
10 Is going too far TO say that Mike
ODowd IS the greatest middleweight
fighter today. but by a curious freak
oi fortune he has the title and unless
all slgns fail win hang on TO It with
death grip.
The middleweisht title has been buff
feted numerically since the death Of
stanley ketchell Billy Papke fltst
'laimcd 10 and defended Il successfully
against Willie Lewis In Paris In 1910.
The next year Cyclone Johnny Thomp-
son defeated Papke and claimed the
championship, but IN 1912 both out
grew the title which remained In abey-
snce until Frank Klaus claimed It by
virtue OF a victory over Papke IN 1913.
His claims were pretty generally rec
ognzed.
In 1918 George Chip knocked out
Klaus 10 two successive fights and
claimed the title
Early I'm 1914 Chip unfortunately ran
into punch in the FIRST round Of his
bout with Al Mccoy and the latter as
sumed the title. Mccoy was never g
real champion and usually lodged any
one who was likely to knock him out,
Tie was beaten repeatedly in no-deci-
sion bouts, but ODowd was tho first
10 make him take the count
0Dowd is a native OF 81. Paul. He
recently graduated from the welter-
weight class and has not been taken
very seriously as a middleweight. Ho
Is q years old and has been fighting
since 1913.
