To the Patrons of the Newberry School

We are grateful to be able to report

Gus sickness has interfered with the
work. All classes have reported for
full time. The officers and teachers
have been faithful and efficient IN
the discharge of their duties, and it is
a pleasure to report that nearly all
of them will serve us for another year.
The work of the schools has been
greatly helped by the sympathy and
cooperation of the various Parent
Teacher associations; these bodies
meet regularly, and do much for the
welfare and upbuilding of the schools.
Among the recent donations in the
way Of equipment added TO the schools
are q victrola at the Boundary Street
building and an outdoor drinking foun-
tain at the Speers Street building. Ali
Nthe playground equipment of the Park
association has been contributed to

committee; this has been distributed

and will add much to their attractive
ness and efficiency. We acknowledge
with thanks this valuable contrioa-
ton on the part of the Park commit
tee.
The addition of two mills special tax
to the income for general purposes

much needed improvements; six new

FINE LIVESTOCK
TOBE DISTRIBUTED

Perhaps, the finest and best bred
livestock in this section is that Of
fered for sale by Sid L. Dodds, of
Hickman, KY. Mr.. Dodds recently
sold his fine livestock farm, which
was made necessary by failing health,
and he is now offering for sale some
very fine Hampshire sheep, Here
ford cattle, registered saddle mares
and colts, Red Pole cattle and Berk-
shire hogs. There is no doubt but
that this is golden opportunity for
for breeders to improve their herds
of cattle and flocks of sheep, and Mr..
Dodds is very anxious that these
fine animals be kept in this section
of the country. They have been bred
with the customary Dodds care and
attention, and it would be a reflec-
ton upon this section to allow these
excellent animals to go to other
sections, when they are so badly
needed here.
This livestock is only offered for
sale on account of Mr.. Dodds' poor
health. Interested parties are in
structed to write Sid L. Dodds, Hick-
man, Ky. adv

the thirteenth century on they found

An Ancient Poem

When Christmas approaches each

That festival banishes sorrow away,
While Richard he kisses both Susan
and Dolly
When tricking the house up with
ivy and holly,
For never as yet it was counted a
crime
To he merry and cherry at that hap
py time.
Then come turkey and chine, with
the famous roast beef,
Of English provisions still reCkOned

The luscious plum pudding does
smoking appear,
And the charming mince pie is not
far from the rear. RI
Then each ticks his chops to behold
such a sight,
For to taste it affords him superior
delight,
For never as yet it was counted
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap.

Now the humming October goes
merrily round,
And each with good humor is hap
PLY crowned.
The song and the dance and the

Alike without harm by each one is
expressed.
For never as yet it was counted a
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap
py time,
Twelfth day next approaches to give
you delight,
And the sugared rich cake is dis
played to the sight;
The man and the maid and the
king and the queen
Alike must be present to add to the
scene,
For never as yet it was counted a
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap.
Ply time.
May each be found thus as the year
circles round,
With mirth and good humor each
Christmas be crowned,
And may all who have plenty Of

With their bountiful blessings make
happy the poor,
For never as yet it was counted a

To be merry and cherry at that hap.

Rev. T. J. McGill.

Rev. T. J. McGill passed away at
his home in Martin on Wednesday,
Nov. %, 1917, at 8:45 p. m. Bro.
McGill was one of the best known
and most loved members of the Mem
phis conference. He had been in fee
bic health for the past two months
and was not able to attend the ses-
sion of conference at Murray, which
was great disappointment to him
as we'll as his brethren.
He was admitted into full connec-
ton with the conference at Jack
son, Tenn, in 1873. He had missed
but two roll calls during all these
years of faithful service. He was an
old Confederate veteran and was de-
lighted to meet his old comrades of
the Sixties, and talk over with them
the trials of warfare and its victo-
ries as well, and while he surren-
dered at the close of the bitter strife,
he always felt sure of the justice of
the cause for which he fought.
He was twice elected by the state
senate to be the honored chaplain
of that body, and during the last
two sessions he endeared himself
to the members of that body in
most lasting manner. He was the
personal friend of Gov. Rye.
He was not a great preacher, if
measured by the standard of much
learning and theological research.
He did not depend upon human learn
ing and teachings of science for the
strength with which to win men to
Christ But he found the plain Cos
pei of the Son of God as all-suffi-
cient. He was eminently success
full in winning souls. He was truly
an evangel of heaven to men, and
many there are who will rise up in
that day and call him blessed. He
had a passion for preaching and no
man among his brethren will have a
larger number of sheaves to his fol
owing.
He was always cheerful and hope
full, never giving way to moods of
gloomy doubt as many do. No man
gave you more hearty hand-shake
and cordial greeting on all occasions
han this veteran of the cross.
He served many hard circuits, for
he was truly a circuit preacher, and
though he sometimes found the way
rough and long, he cheered it with
hope and smoothed it with song.
He was a great singer, and many
are the occasions that will be sweet
ly remembered by his brethren when
he has brought sunshine and gladness
to the conference session by the pow
er of his voice in melody.
His dear companion, with whom
he walked in love and sweet fellow
ship for many years, left him more
than year ago and went on to her
heavenly reward. Brother McGill
was never just the same afterward.
There was kind of far away look
in his eyes and a tone of lonliness
in his voice.
He leaves seven children, as fol-
lows: Mrs R. C. Whitnell, Fulton,
KY; Mrs. Ida Hines, Blocker, Okla;
Mrs. Emma Newsom, and Mrs. Ella
Martin; Mrs. Alice New
som, of Whiteville; James, of Shaw
nee, Okla, and Henry, Of Martin,
and one adopted son, Oran, of South
Dakota.
Many are the warm personal
friends in Martin, and among his
brethren in the conference, as well
as elsewhere, that will feel deep
sense Of personal loss in his going
away.-A. E, Scott.
