CANNING DEMONSTRATION

The demonstration in canning under
the direction of Miss Annie T. Merry
man, assisted by Miss Mary Kate
Long and others, has been very profit
able and instructive to a number of
young ladies in this county. The
demonstration was held at the gram
mar school last week. During the
course, agricultural experts, well
known in the South, were here and
delivered addresses on various occa-
sions. H. M. Cottrell, Of the Farm De-
velopment bureau, spoke Thursday
afternoon and suggested to his hear
ers the latest methods for Kidding
plants of disease. He recommended ar
senate of lead for the potato bug and
urged the cultivation of the Irish cob
Ter potato" in preference to red pota-
toes, on account of the superior keep
ing qualities of the former. He also
stated that the Irish cobler brought
better prices on the market. He insist
ed that every preparation should be
made to plant a second crop of pota-
toes.
Prof. Morgan, dean of the Peabody
normal at Nashville, spoke ia an at
tentive audience, Friday afternoon,
along the same line of discussion as
Mr.. Cottrell, He explained how the
women and farmers of the nation can
be of best service to the country, and
gave many helpful suggestions on
food preservation and economy.

under his eye and his face was also
quite badly bruised up. Mr.. Bishop

DYERsBURG DISTRICT CON-
FERENCE ONE OF THE BEST


The Dyersburg District conference
| Of the Methodist church, which was
held at Munford last week, was one Of
the most successful district conference
es ever held. The conference con-
vened Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
and adjourned Thursday at noon.
There were 100 delegates in attend
ance and a large number Of visitors.
At the opening session, Tuesday after
noon, the committees were appointed,
the reports of the local preachers were
read and their liceases renewed. At
the night session, Rev. E. R. OVERLY,
of Tiptonville, preached the opening
sermon, which was a strong sermon,
and this was followed by the commun-
ion service.
On Wednesday, several of the con-
nectional men were introduced and
spoke to the conference. Rev. Cleanth
Brooks, representing the educational
work Of the conference, Rev. H. G.
Hawkins, president of the M. F. C. /.
of Jackson, and Rev. w. j. Mccoy,
commissioner of education of Emory
university, spoke. At the II o'clock
hour, Rev. Robt. A. Clark preached to
a packed house and the service was
very spiritual one.
The good people of Munford spread
dinner on the ground for all on this
day and, after each one of the several
hundred present had done full justice
to the dinner, there was more than
enough for the twelve baskets to
spare. Such a bountiful dinner is
rarely spread as was seen on this Oc-
casion.
At the afternoon session, Wednes-
day, the Sunday school interest was
taken up and Rev. w. ]. Moore, field
agent of the Sunday school work of
the Memphis conference, and Mrs. w.
w. Adams, wife of the presiding elder
of the Paris district, both spoke on
Sunday school work. At this session,
the laymen by vote elected delegates
to the annual conference, which meets
in Murray on November 9TH. There
were SO lay delegates voting in this
election. The district is entitled to
four lay delegates and the following
were elected: w. w. Templeton, of
Atoka; J. H. Flippin, Of Covington; j.
w. Watkins, of Ripley, and Fred Wat
kins, of Dyersburg. At the night
session, Rev. w. A. Russell, secretary
of the Conference Board of Missions,
spoke on missions, and delivered a
very fine address.
Thursday morning the routine bus
mess Of the conference was taken up,
committees made their reports, three
young men were granted license to
preach and one young man, who is a
Covington boy, was recommended to
the annual conference for admission
on trial at the approaching session,
namely, Rev. Rufus Rose. The con-
ference goes to Ridgely next year.
The closing session Of the district
conference marked the high water
mark, spiritually. This service was
conducted by Mr. R. E. Parker, district
lay leader, and all of the talks were
made by the laymen. Before the serv-
ice was over, several were shouting
and all Joined in singing "The Old
Time Religion, and all shook each
others hand, pledging each other to
pray for each other during the re-
mainder Of the year. Every preacher
in the district was present and large
number of laymen and visitors and
Rev. w. C. Waters, the presiding elder,
presided with ease and dignity.

We have received communication
from Mr.. w. w. Chapman, in which
he expresses thanks to all who aided

tributors to the seating fund, and
which, by the way, was nucleus to
the fund, was little crippled boy, a
member of the Sunday school, who
gave his mite-10 cents. The sum Of
S14 was raised, leaving a balance of

Putnam county this year has fur

Florida legislature who ever deliber-
ately voted in favor of cutting the
county's representation in the House

one senator and two representatives.
Mr.. Tilghman has voted for a resolu-

make Putnam county divide its sena-
tor with an another county and cut
our representation in the House of
Representatives to one member. 1t

did, but it has been amended by the

Tampa Tribune Says Steamer
for havana on Sunday
Had POS of Them,

Wednesdays Tampa Tribune makes
rote Of "sIackers" slipping out Of the
country and the futility Of their exc
dus as follows:
"A considerable exodus from Tam
pa Of men Of conscription age, twen-
ty-Onc years to thirty years, inclu-
siye, has been noted. and that to Ha-
yana, coming at time when steam
Doar ines from Tampa to New 1ork
ana New Orleans have oeen compel
ed to suspend passenger trafnc be-
cause of d greatly decreased travel,
indicates that there must De q reason,
Railway officials also report th2t the
rumDcr of travellers with Canada as
their ultimate destination has lncrcas-
ed in the last few weeks, 1t is sad.
The most notable example was POS
passengers on the Oliyette, which
sailed Sunday for Key West and Ha-
vana. The size Of the passenger list
is almost unprecedented at this time
of the year. And a notable fact is
the number of names of other than
Latin origin on the list.
1T is pointed out that the exodus
to Havana, at a time when steamer
lines to American ports are unable |
10 make passenger traffic pay, and the |
of midsummer, when there |
is nothing to lure the traveller to the |
tropics, can have but one incentive
to escape the draft.
1T can not be said in defense of
the exodus that those leaving are
Latins returning to Hava-
ia because of lack of work here. At
ter four weeks of slack in the cigar
industry, it is again picking up, and
factories are putting their workers on
more time and in some cases full time.
Besides, as is mentioned above, Latin
lamcs arc not by any means the only .
mes on the passeger lists.
1T should be remembered that de-
Darture from home, even to a foreign
ountry does not absolve Americans of
heir duty to the nation. The law
ays that those persons who will not
e at home on June ) must register
Y mail on that date and that fail
re to do so means confinement in
all. There is no alternative of 4
ne. The registration blanks must
G mailed five days ahead of June 5,
0 that they will reach the point of :
agistration-home of the persons 4
egistering-by that date.
1T is not likely that officials will
ver.ook any opportunity to make the
5lackers' pay the full penalty for
lch conduct. Passenger lists, with
le accompanying declaration of age,
or the past month are certain to be
ursued by the Conscription Board,
nd Cuba. an active ally of the United :
tates in this war, will certainly lend
very effort to return those who may

Gov. Cats is trying to jam a re-

unless such bill is passed he will
call an extra session later for the pur-
pose. 1t is possible the governor is
right as to the need Of reapportion-
ment, but he's certainly wrong in try
ing to force the legislature to do his
bidding. The Legislature is the law

President Wilson has issued a proc
lamation putting in force the Con-
script Army law and establishing the
fifth day of June as registration day,
and yet, important as the measure is
to the country, and short as is the
time for getting ready, Gov Cats has
so far refrained from issuing a State
proclamation urging its Importance
and throwing the influence Of his Of
flee in support of the law. Now
what do you think of that?
