For sveeral years the Baptist con-
gregation of this city has been consid-
ering the advisability of erecting a
new and modern place of worship.
Sunday morning, October IA, was fin
ally fixed upon as the date for def
mite action on the matter and the de-
cision reached was for a new church
building.
This building will be erected on the
site now occupied by the old building.
The cost of the new edifce is estimated
at something like $4,000. Subscrip-
tions taken up Sunday morning with a
sum already on hand amount to over
$4,000, leaving about $4,000 still to
be raised.
II is understood that work on the
new building will not be begun before
spring.
The Brownsville Baptist church is
one of the strongest of that denomina-
ton In West Tennessee and the mem
bership embraces many of our strong
est and most prominent citizens. The
congregation is to bee congratulated on
the action taken. It is in keeping with
their progressive, forward spirit.

Fire was discovered Sunday after
noon about one o'clock in the photo
graph gallery of Rodger Johnson To-
Gated on the second floor of Mrs. Sue
Moses two-story building on the north
east corner of the square. Mr.. john
son estimates his loss at about $500
with no insurance. The damage to the
building is estimated at about $1,000
with $4,000 insurance. Roy Moore's
law office on the same floor and ada
cent to the photograph gallery was
damaged to the extent of about 5000
with $500 insurance. George Relds
grocery store is located on the first
floor of this building and his stock
was greatly damaged both by water
and from being moved to the street.
He carried insurance to the amount OF
$500 which will cover the damage to
his stock. The store adjacent to this
j building and owned by Mrs. Robert
Moses, was damaged to the extent OF
about $500 with insurance to cover
same. Bacherig's meat shop, located
on the ground floor of this building
was damaged, as estimated by Mr.
Bacherig, to the extent of $500 with
$1,000 insurance. Origin Of the fire
unknown.
Mr.. johnson stated thet he had been
in his place of business about three
hours before The fire occurred and that
he had lighted lamp while there, but
that he extinguished it just before leay
ing the office. The fact that the dam
age was no greater is due to the quick
response and skill of the fire company
The boys are to be congratulated OF
their splendid work on this occasion.

DESCRIBES (AAP
SUNDAY Morning, oct. a. N

Il
To the Editor Of the States-Graphie
/ have been intending for sometime
TO write the home paper few things
about our camp and how it is situated
but have been pretty busy cleaning up
the company streets and drill grounds.
Have lust about finished up now.
We have been away from our mother
state two months. Two months ago
TODAY we came to camp, finding it
wilderness, but today she stands on an
equal with some Of the older camps.
She is situated at the foot of the Paris
mountains. Among the rolling slopes
and pines Old Glory waves from hill
to Hill over a thousand tented lines
under the moonlight of the southern
sky and sunshine of the day. The Sam
mics of the Southland live where the
mountain breezes play. This noun
tain furnishes the water for the many
cotton mills of the city of Greenville
and Camp Sewer. Our lights are gen
Grated from the fall in the Sweet Riv-
er many miles from camp. We have
Sibley stoves and electric lights IN
every tent, making one as comfortable
as could be expected in field service.
i have put in for furlough many
times, but have had no success so far.
The change from infantry to artillery
is the cause, suppose. They seem to
think we need training worse than we
need to see the homefolks. AS for
move, we hear nothing of such things.
When we move we only know we are
going to move the night before the
move takes place the next day.
wish to thank the Red Cross Chap
ter for their remembrances to the
BOYS in the army. They could never
. have pictured anything a soldier need
! ed any more than a comfort kit. They
enable soldier to keep his clothing in
repair. and as you all know he is not
/ allowed to have a single button miss
. ing on inspection day. They are as
: strict about ones personal appearance
as they are about dirty gun, and a
: mans gun in the army is supposed to
: be his best friend. They are very
p careful about soldiers feet. They
s come into your tent some nights to
d see if you sleep in wet socks. They
D recommend dry pair once day
/. Well, have written everything
) know except my good wishes for tbs
i good people of Haywood county.

TWO PATRIOTS STIR
ORDWAY AUDIENCE
Speakers Pour Out Words Of Pa
triotism at Red Cross Meeting
Here Tuesday Evening.

Tuesday night Of this week those
interested in Red Cross work were
privileged to hear two excellent talks,
one given by Judge E. F. Chambers
of Pueblo and the other by Mrs. Burr
of Boston. These talks were along
patriotic lines and they should be
given in every gathering In the state,
and it would result in instilling a
more solid patriotic spirit with the
people. There were not many in at
tendance, only about a hundred, but
the talk given by Judge Chambers
should have drawn an audience Of
500 to 1000 in this community. He
poured out more wholesome, genuine
patriotism, and the need of more It,,
than any talk ever before given in
Ordway. He also pointed out the fate
of this country II the war was lost
to this nation, and showed that it
would be better to buy Liberty Bonds
now and contribute in other ways to
the cause of the war than to pay in
demnity to foreign enemy later on.
He pictured how easily Germany
could swoop down on our country
and take it if it were not for France
and England. France and England
are fighting our battle" said Judge
Chambers. LET them lay down or
be whipped and it is all off with u.s.
he continued. Goo
One of the marks of interest in
the Tuesday evening meeting was
that shown by delegation of women
from Olney Springs. They came to
hear what there was to be said and
they expressed themselves as being
glad that they did.
| Mrs. Burr, who gave a talk, is a
woman who is fixed financially well
enough to be able to travel over the
country at her own expense under the
direction of the National Red Cross
She works hard and gets no pay, even
expending her own money, but in this
way she is doing her bit.

THIS WILL HELP YOU
GROW BIGGER CROPS
Such Is the Advice Given Oue By
An Expert In Beet
Growing

All beet fields should be rolled with
a wooden roller, disc roller or Cros-
kill, according to the mechanical
conditions Of the soil. and also cul-
tivated before beet thinning starts.
OF course, under exceptionally wet
conditions when the ground II still
too miry to hold a team, thinning
should not be delayed too long and,
If necessary. performed without the
field being either rolled or cultivated.
but under these circumstances special
allowance should be made to the con-
tractor.
The larger the beets when thinned
the more the roots of those to be left
will be disturbed and the harder the
condemned ones will come out. Some
times IL not cut off low enough the
roots will add new foliage and
double beets are the result. ,
Beets should be thinned when their
four leaves are fully grown (not
counting the two co;yledons or seed
leaves) and sufficient thinners should
be in the field to complete the thin
mig before the third pad of leaves
are fully grown. II the undertaking
is large and there is shortage Of
thinners 1t is advisable to start the
thinning when most of the beets have
four leaves.
Thinning should be delayed, how
ever, If the young beets are exposed
to insect pests. The most favorable
weather Is the cloudy, foggy days
when the atmosphere is moist.
II your soil is rich and has pro-
duced exceptional crops in the past.
not only should your rows be planted
more closely, but the distance be-
tween beets themselves can be less
ened with profit.

w1cKsTRoM RECOVERING

Hans Wickstrom was in Ordway q
few days ago for the first time IN
fourteen weeks, and yet he lives
within about three miles Of town.
But he has had very good excuse.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Wickstrom had his left leg broken
just above the ankle and as a result
he has beeen unble to be around until
recently. Mr.. Wickstrom was work
ing on a ditch cleaner which turned
over with him, breaking his leg. He
was in the field alone and it was al
most an hour before he could sum-
mon aid to take him to his home.
One of the bones failed to heal as
rapidly as it should. but he is now
getting along much better, altho it
will be several weeks yet before he Is
able to use the foot.

The homesteaders fair, held at
Bluff Springs, was big success,

The day was passed in looking over
the large variety of products, canned
goods and fancy work. We are now
fully convinced that it doesn't take
the irrigated country to raise fine
things altogether.
An old fashioned basket dinner
was enjoyed at noon and everything
good to eat was on the table,, After
the basket dinner the afternoon was
taken up with horse races, foot races,
sack races and potato race. Then a
splendid talk by Rev. Spangler.
A pie social and program by the
