STATE MISSION RALLY DAY
IN BAPTIST CHURCH
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER %.

The Southern Baptist Convention Of
some four or five years ago decided
in convention assembled that because
of the enlarged work Of the denomi-
nation at home and abroad, it would
be best to call on every Baptist church
within the bounds of hte Convention
to set apart four Sundays in each year
for special programs in the Sunday
School, for the purpose Of making
special offerings for the causes the
denomination fosters. Last Sunday,
the 2Sth of September, was special
day for State Mission Rally in the
Sunday School in every Baptist church
in the south. The Baptist Sunday
School Board located at Nashville,
Tenn, issued suggestive program
which was accepted by the Baptist
Sunday School here at Welsh, and was
acceptably and beautifully rendered
by the young people and children of
the church and Sunday school. The
point of greatest interest and concern
was that which followed the program
of the occasion; the Secretarys re-
port of the offering made, was the sum
of $4,000 for State Missions.
After the secretary's report was
made Rev. D. A. Youngblood, a repre-
sentative of the Baptist State Mission
Board was presented to the congre-
CATION and he spoke for few minutes
with reference to the Baptist rs Mil
lion Dollar campaign which is growing
in interest, and meeting with glowing
success everywhere.

SOM e DoINGS,
When Anti-kants Entertain the Ever
Readys.

Have you heard of the affair at the
splendid home Of Mr.. and Mrs. S. O.
Scoggins last Friday evening? Occas-
ion?
The Anti-Kants took pity on the
Ever Readys and invited them to come
along, which they did and took a very
unseltish part in everything, espec-
tally the "eats."
And did they have a good time?
Good isn't the word, it was immense,
and so was the preachers appetite.
The lawn was given very homelike
appearance by colored electric lights
arranged for the occasion, the beauti-
full ferns and comfortable seats all con-
tributed to the pleasure of the guests.
The delicious supper served by the
committee consisted of fried chicken,
hot mashed potatoes, with chicken
gravy, various kinds of salads, baked
beans, homemade bread and butter,
iced tea, and the best was last-all
kinds of pie.
The guests, NUMBERING nearly a
hundred, felt very congenial toward
one another after partaking of this
feast, then the fun began: 1t started
with a conversational game, when
each gentleman was given cards to
procure partners for progressive three
minute conversations. Nearly every
thing under the sun was talked about,
but mostly Sunday School, which of
course was of greatest Importance. So
it went on and on, each one trying to
outdo the other in prose, poetry and
wit, and we soon found that the May
or, Superintendent and Preacher
could outdo them all.
Last, but not least, was Rev. We'll
don's impromptu speech, in which he
stated many things of interest, one of
which was that men and women band
ed together as in Sunday School work,
ought to be able to accomplish any
thing for the good of the church or
community which they might attempt.
After Rev Weldcn's talk we all went
home feeling that there was nothing
more to be said or done to make the
event one long to be remembered

TEXAN BOOSTS RICE HARVEST.

Mr.. NJ. P. Daniel of Liberty, Texas,
who has spent number Of years in
the rice belt of the Gulf Coast, says
that this years rice harvest is the
prettiest and cleanest that Liberty has
ever had, although many good crops
have been grown there
Mr. Daniel has travelled over some
of Louisiana and the entire Texas
coast country and makes a close study
of crop yields. He is engaged in the
real estate business at Liberty, Texas,
and says that he has many fine tracts
of rice lands which are yet undevelop-
ed, only waiting for the artesian we'll
and the tractor.
Our lands are the only cheap rice
lands left" said Mr.. Daniel, and
with wells to water them and proper
cultivation they will produce as much
rice as any lands now being planted
to that crop. They can be bought in
any size tracts from 800 acres up to
1900 acres at from SIS to $40 per acre,
depending upon the location and
whether or not they have any im-
provements upon them. The unim-
proved raw prairie land is the cheaper
and best, because it is new," he said.
Mr. Daniel is carrying some small
ads in the Journal and invites cores
pondence relative to both rice lands
and highlands, as well as oil lands.
They have two proven oil fields in
Liberty County now, and many wild.
cat wells are being drilled there. Mr..
Daniel says it is begnnng to look like
all the southeastern portion Of his
county is underlaid with oil.
