The Sunday School Rally

While the crowd in attendance on
the S. S. rally held in the Methodist
church on Wedne sday was not over
ly large, it was thoroughly represen-.
tative and sufficient to indicate a
gratifying interest in that branch of
work.
Mr.. Best and Mr. Hudson were not
able to reach town in time for an
opening session at 10, which shorten
ed the morning session somewhat,
but the services began about 10:45.
in charge of the pastor of,the church,
Rev. G. w. Staples, who made few
Introductory remarks, the prayer be-
ing offered by Rev. B. L. Wood.
On chart arranged by Mr.. Digs,
of the Virginia State S. S. ,Associa-
ton, all the schools in the county
having representation at the meeting
were listed, and before the close of
the evening session "a out of the 26
reported a representation in the
house.
Mr.. Diggs made talk on the i'm
portance and value of the Sunday
school to the church and State, and
gave it as his belief that either one
could better dispense with any other
of lis institutions than with the Sab
bath school; that wherever the S. S.
was neglected, lawlessness and ire
ligion were pronounced, citing the
Hillsville tragedy as a specific in
stance.
A recess of an hour was taken at
IL NJ, and an old time picnic dinner
enjoyed, the spread being on w. H.
Lunsford's lawn. When punched"
the crowd covered about one-third of
an acre, but the supply was ample
and some to spare.
Mr.. Hudson was the first speaker
of the evening and left Immediately
at the close of his talk. Monterey
ans have heard Mr.. Hudson frequent
ly, but never tire Of him, and he was
given close attention on this occasion
Rev w. H. Best, Sec. of S. S. of the
Baltimore Conference, then gave an
address on "Hindrances, and How
to Remove them" 1t was his first
appearance here, but he captivated
his hearers and held their attention
throughout his interesting and prof.
table discourse.
Following him, Mr.. Diggs introduc
ed the subject of county and district
organization. Of the county conven-
ton, 3. B. Jones was elected presi-
dent, Rev. B. L. Wood, vice-presi-
dent, Adam Miller secretary, and w.
H. Matheny treasurer, the first meet
ing to be held at Mcdowell Pres
Church on June II, 1920.
: The following gentlemen were ap-
pointed to arrange time and place for
district convention in their respec-
tative districts: Blue Grass Rev.
Mr.. Lindamood; Monterey, ]. c. Ma
theny; Stonewall, A. A. Alexander.
e. B. Jones presided over both
sessions of the Convention.
Finding that two of the speakers
would remain over night, meeting
was announced for 500 p. m. and
this proved to be the best session Of
the convention, each of the visitors
delivering an excellent and instruc-
tive talk, calculated to inspire and
enthuse the Sunday school worker.

The high cost of operating caused
the bottom to fall out of the Deertield
enterprise. There is such thing as
squeezing the life out of industries,
some companies have the wisdom to
quit before they die. The fellow who
don't try to give value received
earn his money-is responsible, in
part, for collapse of this kind.

ACTIVITY INCREASES
BY Associated Press

Archangel. Thursday March 20.-Pa-
troll activity has increased consider
ably along the Vologda railway and
on the Dvina front. On both sectors
the bolsheviki have been defeated by
the American and allied troops.
A small bolshevik raiding party, max
ing it's way over the snow, surprised
an allied artillery position in the
forests near the Vologda railway. Att
er considerable fighting in the dark
ness, the raiders were repulsed, leaving
a number of dead behind.
Following up last Fridays success on
the Dvina when the Americans and
Russians .repulsed raid against the
allied linn of communication, an Amer
lean pa today encountered a boil
shevik patrol in wood. number
of the bolsheyiki were killed and the
others in the party made prisoner.
AS the winter has been unusually
mild in north Russia it is expected
that within a month the thaws Will
come to Ike extensive land fighting
impracticaDle. The bolsheviki will have
a big advantage when the rivers open.
The Dvina and Vaga rivers will be
navigable near the fighting front be-
fore the Dvina is opened further north
around Archangel This condition would
permit the bolshevik gunboats, which
have spent the winter at Krasnoborsk
and Kotlas, to reach the vicinity of
Beresniki before the allied river flo
tilla can steam southwark to meet
them.
Efforts are being made, however. to
speed up the arrival of the allied fleet
in the fighting zone in order to con-
fine the bolshevik advantage to the
shortest time possible. In the mean
time, as long as the present cold
weather continues, it is race against
time to move over the snow before the
thaw comes sufficient big guns and
ammunition to hold the enemy boats
in check until the allied vessels can
move southwark. In this work the al
lied transport service is performing
stLpendous task in spite of the short
age of hay and oats, which has weak
ened the horses for the long hauls over
the snow and added greatly to the diff
.ficulties of the situation.

shing has arranged, it was learned today,
to purchase from the Young Mems Chris
tian association nearly million dollar 5
worth of textbooks, covering practically,
every phase of general and technical ed

cepted by the army.

Mr.. Ernest Moore of Moscow,
Ala, Says Ferraline Is Just
What He Needed
Mr. Moore One of the Most Prominent and Progressive
Planters in Marengo County
Had Stomach Trouble for Years. Found No Help Until
He Used Ferraline

When men like Mr.. Ernest Moore of
Moccow, Ala, step to the front and say
that he feels like new man from the use
of Ferraline, it certainly proves the COM
pany's claims: that Ferraline will cure
any case\ of indigestion or stomach
trouble on earth, for all that know Mr.
Moore know full well that he will not
make any statement that is not true, and
they know that his word is as good as
his check, which is good for any amount
that he cares to write.
Mr.. Moore makes the following state
ment: Il have been down and out with
stomach trouble and indigestion for many
years, had tried some of the finest spe
cialists in the south Had been to Hot
Springs, and, in fact, had tried many diff
ferent remedies that claimed to cure
stomach trouble, not one of them cured
me, and l kept getting worse all the time.
II had gotten so low down that I was
very weak. and could scarcely walk. My
energy was completely gone,~and 1 had
come to the conclusion that the remedy
that would cure me was not made.
s-I have now changed my mind abot.
this, for one of my friends insisted that
try Ferraline, and much to my surprise
| commenced to get better before had
used Ferraline three days. and before |
had used one bottle / decided that i had
found the right remedy.
