POSTPONE ELECTION
OF A SUPERVISOR
County Board Of Education
Hold Meeting AT Court
House Saturday

Inasmuch as the selection of dis.
trict superintendent for the southern
half OF the county school district for
the school year 1919-20 has. been
placed in the hands of the county
board of education under Sec. 4741
of the school code, they have been
giving the problem close attention
since the first of September because
this section gives them authority
which they do not ordinarily possess.
1t was the thought of the county
board owing partly to the lateness of
the season to arrange for one district
superintendent for the county school
district beginning this fall, but after
familiarizing themselves with the
school code relating to this problem
they were of the opinion that this
could not be legally done now for the
present school year. They decided,
however, to redistrict the comfy for
supervisory purposes to take effect
Sept. J. 1920. Beginning on that date,
there will be under this decision but
one supervisory district and, of
course, one district superintendent
for the county school district.
At the meeting Saturday the county
board took up the matter of the ap.
pointment of district superintend-
ent for supervisory Dist. No. 2. Sew
eral applicants are in the field. After
some discussion it was decided to
postpone the selection for few days
in order to give the board better op-
portunity of obtaining more in detail
the qualifications Of the applicants.

FINE HEREF0RDS
SHIPPED TO COUNTY
Knox County Stock Men Pur-
chase Some Very Fine
Cattle

p. G. Greene, Of the firm of Greene
e. Dunn, stock raisers, buyers and
sellers of fine stock, who are located
near Bangs, Knox county, has lust
purchased some fine Herefords, to be
shipped to his farm in this county.
The following from the Ripley, w.
Va, Mountaineer, tells of the recent
purchase made by Mr. Greene:
Last Saturday saw the shipment of
33 head of registered Hereford cattle
to the Ohio farm recently purchased
by L. G. Greene. This will constitute
the Greene & Dunn herd and will be
handled by Mr.. Dunn. Some 20 head
are still retained in the home herd
at the Grass Lick farm where Mr..
Greene will continue TO breed the IA
nous Beau Donald and Perfection
strain Of Herefords which have made
West Virginia and Kentucky noted
in the cattle world for their magnifi-
cent herds of this, one of the leading
beef breeds of cattle. The individu.
ais shipped to Ohio were all splendid
specimens and were headed by French
Perfection 7999S5, son Of Rochamp
ton, whose dam was half-sister of
Beau Mischief whose get brought the
highest average price of any sale OF
the kind ever held. In the lot also
was the young bull Prince Woodford
Fifth, 7974S6 by Woodford Sixth out
of Violet Fifth. Woodford Sixth
brought $15,100 and is now the head
OF the famous herd of Senator Cam.
den. of Kentucky. Violet Fifth, an i'm.
ported COW, was also in the shipment
She is superb individual and is eas
lily one of the finest cows of the breed
in the United States.
The shipment of these fine pure
breds is a distinct loss to the breed
ers Of the state, but with the founda
tion herd left at Grass Lick farm Mr.
Greene will still hold his position in
the very 'front.' ranks of Hereford
breeders of this section of the coun
try.
In the going of Mr. Dunn we lose a
man who has made hundreds OF
friends here who is a man of that
calibre whose going from any com
munity is regrettable. May he meet
with the success in his new home to
which he is entitled.

Funerals And Marriages
In Last 20 Years

I At st. Paul's Episcopal church Sun
day morning, Rev. William e. Hull,
in commemoration Of his Goth ami.
versary as rector OF the church,
preached most interesting sermon,
taking for his text Luke 16:7, "How
Much Owest Thou?"
Thoughts Of the past, present and
future were suggested by Rev. Hull.
Taking up the material side, Rev.
Hull enumerated the renovatiOns and
improvements to the church, parish
house and rectory, representing the
outlay of thousands of dollars. He
spoke of the payment of the street
paving tax and debt of $4,000 on the
parish house; the increase of endow-
ments from 5000 to $4,000 and large
increase annually Of missionary and
benevolent offerings.
In speaking of the spiritual side
Rev. Mr.. Hull stated that since he
had been rector of st. Pauls church
he had baptized 321 persons, had pre-
sented 1862 to the bishop for contir-
nation, performed 1876 marriages and
officiated at 359 funerals.
Rev. Hull gave brief history OF
the church during the past 20 years
showing some of the great changes
that have taken place, and telling of
"the old familiar workers now depart
ed, who have joined the quiet hillside
throng and the spirits above.
"As we ask ourselves the question,
How Much Owest Thou?, not one can
say we have lived and worked to our
BEST" said Rev. Hull.
"The suggestion of the text brings
us to a consideration of our steward

we are faithful, accurate and self-de
nying. Why not be the same in oul
Christian obligations"
There are two hindrances: "Condi
tions not just to our notion" and
comparison Of ourselves to the weak
and not with the strons."
"As Christians, Christ gave us q
work to perform for ourselves and
for Others" said Rev. Hull. "The
soldier did not look upon his weak
comrade for his example, but to the
best Of his leaders.
"Why not so in the work before lis
There is much for us all to do in the
parish, in the church, Sunday school
choir and church services. There is
also much work among the younger
people, especially among the young
men,"
In conclusion, the speaker said
"Try to answer the question, How
Much Owest Thou"
