DISTRICT TRAINING SCHOOL.
HELD AT ZION CHURCH

The District Training Conference
held on Monday at Zion M. E. Church
was a rare treat of good things. DR..
NJ E. Swartz, of the Central Penn
sylvania Conference; DR.. A. N. War
ner, of the Northwest India Confer
ence; DR.. c.. S. Moore, of the Rock
River Conference; DR.. G.. G.. Holdings

visitors.
Rev. F. C. MacSorley, of Federals-
burg; Rev. C. w. Moore, of Hurlock;
Rev. C. II. Hudson, of williamsburg;
Rev. Alonzo Travers, of Salem; Rev.
Tilghman Smith. of East New Mar
ket; Rev. E. l.. Hubbard, of Beck
with; Rev. John NJ. Kelso, of Grape,
were among the out-of-town minis
tiers present.
The sessions of the day were crow
ded full of surveys of the home and
foreign fields under the Methodist
Episcopal Church; of explanations Of
the great Centenary Movement. and
of how to organize the local church,
and of how to conduct the several
campaigns on education, stewardship,
intercession and life service.
The evening session was given over
to a stereopticon lecture, setting
forth the work of the church in it's
worldwide conquest, with side lights
on the resources of the church and
the immediate needs, and the pro-
gram of the Centenary in its relation
to the forward movement of the
Kingdom. The lecture was a most
informing and enjoyable one. It was
delivered by DIR. Warner, a mission
airy from India, home on furlough.
1t was thought by those VINO attend
ed to be the finest appeal for the mis-
sionary spirit ever seen and heard in
these parts.

SYSTEMATIC PLANS
To BRING BOYS IN
GRAY HERE IN 1870

The Idea OF bringing the 1920 annual
convention OF the United Confederate
Veterans TO Ardmore is gaining momen.
tum as the day for this years conven.
ton, TO be held at Ada, draws near.
well organized effort has been
launched to make this u possibility.
Old soldiers ut the Confederate Home,
who will be unable to attend this years
reunion, are asking the comrades who
will make the trip, to be sure and ex.
haust every effort to bring the next re.
union to Ardmore.
Members OF John II. Morgan camp.
United Confederate Veterans, have Ia.
ken the matter up and in special
meeting TO be held soon. will endorse
the movement and appoint the neces
sary committees 10 bring the matter
properly before the assembly and to
see that the proper committee shall
take cognizance of the claims Ardmore
viii advance along this line.
Business men who have discussed the
question have heartily endorsed the
movement. and the Chamber of Com.
merce has taken it up with the avowed
purpose of Offering such inducements
as to practically compel the state or
ganization to convene here in 1920.
Press comment throughout the state
is favorable to Ardmore on this prop.
osltion. The Soldiers Home is located
here, and unless the reunion is held in
Ardmore it is certain that many of the
old veterans will never again have
an opportunity of attending. Their
ranks are thinning day by day, and
those who remain are enfeebled To such
an extent as to preclude their making
a long journey
Members of the local camp. the Sons
and Daughters who will attend, are
going to make strenuous effort to
have the next reunion held in this city,
and If they fail it will be through no
fault of theirs.

He was soon getting more tuning and
repair work than he could do. so II
occurred TO him that "a small factory,
with one or two good assistants. could
be established and developed into

He enlisted the services Of H. Il.
Lambert and James Hyslop, two good
musicians, each possessed Of mechani'

soon had Il modest factory in opera

1t was not long before they began
to have all they could do in this line,
and as their customers became their
advertisers they are at present very
nearly covered up with work all the
