The Gunder Meetinqs.

Evangelist Claude A. Gunder, before
the Baptist Presbyterian revival meet
ing at the Baptist church Sunday
night. preached on the popular subject,
"Amusements," and took occasion to
score dancing, card playing. and the
Sunday theater. The audience filled
the church.
The evangelist took his text from
Gal. 6:7. BE not deceived; God is not
Knocked, for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap. He spoke in
part ais follows:
IN every campaign people stay out
Of the kingdom Of God because Of

carelessness Costs Lives.

Living by the seashore or mostly in
the open air in the rural districts, q
fine, hardy manhood has been devel-
oped in Chile. The highest death rate
Is In the towns and cities, where
dwelling houses lack the most elemen-
tary appliances Of sanitation. Small
pox and typhoid are very prevalent,
and some years fearful epidemics
break out. Pneumonia and tuberculo-
sis are also prevalent. But Chile's
high death rate is mainly accounted
for by the heavy infantile mortality
from contagious diseases. The birth
record Of Chile Is one Of the highest
in the world, but the mean rate of in
crease in population by excess Of
births over deathC reduces It to one
Of the lowest in the world. Thus one

PLANT BEANS IN THE CORN
FIELD.

Mr.. Geo. w. Lewis, the EDITORS
neighbor, sent his man to the field the
other day with Il sack of beans and
Il jobber and had beans planted i'll his
corn. Lewis is good corn grower
and approves planting. beans in the
corn field if you want beans. Some
good farmers say that beans in corn
injure and reduce the yield of the
corn. This may be the case if the
land is poor. Some varieties of beans
grow very heavy vines, and tend to
pull the corn dowu, particularly in
wind storms. Beans which do not
vine heavily painted in alternate rows
every third hill, will not injure corn.
If you are afraid of this plant bunch
beans-a good variety, in every row
between the hills. Plant beans, no
idle land this year! In the fall give
the poor women and children i'll the
community onc-half for the other to
pick them, it will help them as well
as yourself.

CORN PROSPECTS IN THE
COUNTY.

At this stage of the game the
prospect for a bumper crop of corn
in this section is not the best How
ever, with good seasons from now on
and careful, faithful cultivation, the
yield may not be disappointing. I'm
der anything like good conditions,
more corn will be grown in the coun-
ty this year than ever befoer, as a
much larger area has been planted.
Late, cool weather, some Of it very
wet, much of it very dry, prevented
termination and much rcplanting
was necessary. An unusual amount
of dry, cool winds have prevailed all
the spring, which dried out the
ground rapidly after the rains and
much of the corn rotted in the ground
and in some instances entire fields
were planted over the second time.
While the prospect is not the best it
is still not discouraging and there
is no reason why farmers should be
"down in tho mouth" Prevailing
conditions renders more and better
cultivation absolutely necessary.
Providence seldom, never, fails on
his part.
