Rev. 7. 5. Crutehfeld, Pastor

interest to the school. The num-
ber of classes in the school was
increased, and the classification
of the younger pupils was made
to conform more nearly to the
needs Of the children Of the vary.
ing ages. And it Is very graft.
flying to note that the attendance
upon the Sunday.Schoo and the
regular services of the church is
larger than it was during the
summer months. The month of
October has been set apart by
the school as enlistment month
and a special invitation is hereby
extended to all members of the
church and congregation to enlist
in the study of the Bible in the
Sundays school. Furthermore,
we observe that there are many
people in the town that have no
church affiliation, and we also
extend a cordial invitation to
these to come and join US in the
Sunday school as we'll as other
services of the church.

treated. Apply enough to whit

will stick better if applied when

Farmers may use either of the

ference should be given the
arsenate of lead.
Farmers should not save cotton
seed for planting, from a field
infested with boil rot or Cotton
Anthracnose, as this disease is
carried by the seed, and so an
increased amount of damage may
be expected another year if
seed is used. Those
who wish to get disease free seed
should see the county agent.

tion at Halifax on Wednesday Oc-

will also be made at Littleton

Mr.. Tomlinson is an excellent

pected.

BROTHER OF MRS. SMOOT
KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Geo. H. Rush. Of La Grande, Oregon,
Almost Instantly Killed When Auto
and Train Collide.

Mrs. J. W. Smoot, has receiv.
ed word of the death of her
brother, Mr.. Geo. H. Rush, OF
La Grande, Ore, during the later
part of September. A car in
which Mr.. Rush was riding was
struck by a train and Mr.. Rush
killed almost instantly.
That Mr.. Rush's death was a
loss to his home town is shown
by the following editorial taken
from the La Grande Evening
Observer,
1.-The eccident which closed the
life of George H. Rush took a
man who was in his prime. His
best years was before him. And
he was all man. Nature had en-
dowed him with ability, for his
work as a builder is everywhere
to be seen in the Northwest. He
did honest work, hence he had a
reputation over several states for
being a first class builder. At
the time of his death he was
erecting a school building at
Haines and one at La Grande.
The country needed him and
needed his services, But the
hand of fate works in a myster-
ious manner, and it was little
thought that today George H.
Rush would be dead. The auto
mobile accident was out of the
ordinary for it occurred in an
open country and in broad day.
light on a railroad crossing be-
tween Baker and La Grande.
