Out in fhe Hills
By MRS. G. H. MATHIS.

Beautiful hillsl Indeed it is refreshing
 to be out in the country and to see nature
 in her wild abandon of flower and green The beckoning trees lure the fancy and the rocky ravines tell of nature in her past great struggle to right herself into present day structures.
 He that runs may read the volume ot nature. and find unspeakable joy. So swiftly do the hurrying calls press upon ench other that one is scarcely out of reach before another is on.
 The Victory loan. the Centenary drive. the Salvation Army and then the Boy Scouts. All are necessary for the steady
 ing of this old earth after her baptism of fire.
 There is nothing amiss for all have worthy channels of endehvor
 Answering the call of the zone chair man I came to Marshall county to see about its activities in the Salvation Army drive for funds. Going to Guntersville first I found MT. Roden and Mir. o. D. Street alive to the needs and willing to see that Guntersville came across with its allotment on time. I went into the banks and found sympathy and appreci- ation for every good work and a ready smile to be always one of the chosen Arrangements were made by Mir, O. D. Street for a trip out to Arab for a night meeting and MT. Wright and a young soldier attorney accompanied me in the car of MT. Holt, loyal soldier of the transportation line. Gusty rain showers did not interfere and we drove on out on Brindley mountain to the quaint little town of Arab with its clustering vines of honeysuckle. There were no wild men with urban fez to greet us, only the mild faces of a devout country peo- pie, who had freely sent their boys out to help make the world a safe place to live in.
 Some had come back safe and sound. some still rest in Flanders fields, and Just the same story for each little vil- haze. There were no bitter complainings among those rural people, all had done their part and in the doing there was comfort even if grief came too Into an humble home we went to talk with an old couple whose only son, upon whom they can rely. is now in France How beautiful is his devotion to his parents! He writes So often and has sent them many post cards and other pictures Of Paris, all of which are carefully kept and treasured by those dear people who await his return so anxiously.
 Mir. Joe Bain, the banker of Arab. is one of those true, good men who cares for the community and strives to broaden the vision and uplift the people His

DR. HUTCHINSON ID
 LEAVE AUBURNFOR
 MISSIONARY WORK

Auburn, May 27.-(Special. )-Rev. T. J. Hutchinson, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Auburn for the past nine years. has formally rendered his resig- nation to the congregation. In Septem Der it is the intention of MT. Hutchison to take up work among the mountain people under the immediate direction ot the home missionary committee of the General Assembly, and he gives the Au- burn church this much time in which to select his successor.
 As Auburn is one of the most important churches in the Alabama synod from strategic standpoint, Presbyterians al. over the state will be intensely interested in this announcement by MT. Hutchison and concerned in the selection of a min ister to occupy the field. It is under stood that the pulpit will be filled only after a thorough canvass of the entire situation. Denominations have always recognized the importance of the college town field and sent the best possible rep resentatives to occupy them.
 In addition to his work in the pastor ate here MT. Hutchinson did large amount of Y. NJ. c. A. work during the last year of the war and has always been an energetic force in the civic life of the community. Alumni all over Ala bama, as well as the parents of students now here, will feel deep regret at the departure of MT. Hutchison, because he has for so long been in intimate touch and in close personal relation with the entire student body.
 Indicative of the love and esteem in which Mir. Hutchinson is held in the church and community at large. the con gregation adopted the following resolu- tions:
 Whereas, we have heard with deep, regret the decision of our beloved pas tor. Rev. T. J. Hutchinson, to request us to formally join him in asking the pres bytery of east Alabama to dissolve the rnoS Stn nlnt irnr hat

 By Marvin MeCarthu

Well, we had 'em beat until the fatal ninth yesterday. It is bad enough for the Barons to let Little Rock force across the needed runs but to let them oo 1t in the ninth and with two men down. That was awful Oh. why didn't It rain little harder before the ninth some blame Mcdonald and some olame Duncan for letting in those runs but it was due to the error of no one mat the Barons were beat. It started i With passed ball. Then some poor ! boob placed hit exactly where it could do the most harm, and there you are.
 Fisher and Ellis made some pretty catches yesterday. If Ellis batted as well as he fields he would be a bear kitty"
 TWO Barons went wrong yesterday. Halrston and Fisher failed to hit, and consequently both have fallen below
 SOO per cent in the batting averages. Peters covered himself with glory bv hitting safely two times out of three turns at the bat.
 With Stevenson on base our Patrica came to bat She walloped a two bag ger out into center field. When every tnlng quieted down Stevenson was in the dugout with one run to his credit.

 Toledo, in the American association. got two good players from the Ma tional league yesterday. Joe Kelley and MilJus were released by Boston and Brooklyn to this club. Al Wickland was released by Boston to St Paul of the same league
 Umpire Byron of the National league thought that Mann was too certain about third strike being called wrong and that it was really a ball. Conse- quently he banished Mann from the held in order to give him time to think the matter over properly.
 Cravath of the Phillies knocked a circuit clout yesterday with two men on bases. It was a winner
 Pitcher Mamaux of the St. Louis Ma tlonals was knocked out of the box in the first inning yesterday, but not before three runs had been scored on him.
