Rev. H. c. Harting Returns From Luther.
IAN Synodical Convention.
(Flat Biver News.)


Rev. 81. @. Harting, pastor of the
local Lutheran Church, returned from
Detroit, Mich, last Friday, having at
tended as delegate the Sixteenth Tri-
ennial Convention of the Lutheran
Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other
states, in that city, June 1926. Dele
gates from nearly every state in the
union and Canada were in attendance.
A representative from Brazil and one
from Australia brought greetings
from Lutherans in those far away
countries. The convention was one
of the most important ever held. 1t
was epoch making.
One million dollars was authorized
for a new plant for Concordia Sem
mary at st. Louis, Mo. From this in
stitution 7S Theological Candidates
graduated last June and they wers
Immediately assigned to their re-
speetive calls, some of which came
from Canada, India, Brazil, and Ar
gentine. The number of calls ex-
ceeded the number of available can
dicates by 81. The church needs
more men. 1t was resolved to
strengthen the courses of study in
the Synod's Theological Seminaries,
Normal Schools and Colleges. A new
plant was also authorized for the col
lege and seminary in Brazil, and a
new college is to be established in the
Canadian Northwest. An endow-
ment fund of 100000 for super
anuated pastors and teachers was
transferred to the Synod. A re-
organization of Synod's General
Home Mission Work, and of the sys-
tenn of collecting moneys was UNDER
taken and effected. The largest
budget in the history of the Synod
was adopted.

Assaults Woman Pays With Life.

Fred Canfex, burly negro convict
who escaped from the convict road

Young daughter of Frank Simmons,

The dead negro had for some time

his escape and soon after attacked
the young woman who was going out

negro suddenly appeared in the road

was formed of excited and determin-
ed men who sought vengeance.
Tho posse, estimated to number loo
men, on Wednesday morning near
eleven o'clock, located him near Cen
teryille and made short work OF his
punishment. He was first discovered
BY woman skulking in o thicket
and the sheriff was notified but before
he could reach the spot the possee
members had located and shot tht
brute. He was shot some 5 or II
times with Winchesters and eacf

Merely Nominal Right.

The freedom of the city Of London
carries with it, nominally, at any rate,
the right to keep pigs in the parish Of
st. James, Piccadilly. But even were
any one disposed to avail himself of
this liberty, and if the sanitary author
tiles failed to object, land in that part
of London is somewhat too costly for
profitable pig-farming.

From Near Arcadia Heights.


Since our last letter from this point
to the REGISTER nothing of particular
interest has occurred out here.
The four weeks drouth was broken
on the fourth instant by very heavy
rain. Corn, millet, and pastures have
been very much benefited, for which
we are thankful, indeed.
The writer came home from st.
Louis July Sd. to look after his grass
and oats on the farm, which were
ready to harvest. We went over to
our farm near Roselle Tuesday last.
We found our tenant, Mr.. Raines,
and two other men very busily en-
gagged in the hay harvest. Mr.. Raines
was driving the two-horse hay rake,
young Mr.. Wes tmoreland was driv-
ing the mower, thus leaving one hand
to shock up the hay, which had been
cut down the day before. Mr.. West
moreland suggested that "we are
needing another hand very badly" so
we took the hint, threw off our coat,
picked up pitch fork, and "let inn
to the shocking. At 11:45 A. NJ. we
had put up III shocks of hay, leaving
three acres or more yet unshocked.
We figure that there will be on the
farm "Some where in the neighbor-
hood of eight tons of good hay" as
Mr.. Westmoreland suggested.
AS we handled the sweet scented
hay, we could not help thinking of
the famous Maude Muller, who, "Up-
on summers day raked the meadow
sweet with hay" But we had not
worked long until we conceived the
idea that the 'ssweetness' evidently
must have referred to Miss Maude
rather than to the hay; otherwise the
young village judge, riding by on his
ld-face horse, would not have fall
en- head over heels in love with Miss
Maude. OF one thing we are positive
ly certain: Miss Msude, with rake in
hand, was not raking $40-a-ton hay,
as it is today.
While oats are short, owing to the
dry weather through June, they are
well headed and will make a good
average yield.
Millet hay, will be light, Tin many
places not over half crop owing to
the dry weather.
Mr.. j. d. Vance is working few
men on the Heights, putting the
grounds in proper condition before
the Baptist Assembly convenes there
August I'd, we are informed. 1t is
predicted by those who are in posi-.
zion to know pretty definitely, that
there will be a record breaking at
tendance at the Baptist Assembly this
year, and they will be we'll taken care
OF; for the Baptist people do not do
things by halves They go the
"whole hog or none," as the saying
goes.
.Cicil Phillips, who is working in St.
Louis, spent the Fourth with home
folks here, returning to the city on
No. 32 Tuesday. He asked me if
was going back to st. Louis to work.
told him that thought it better to
look after $40-a-ton hay and one
dollar bushel oats for the present
time, at least. One hundred dollars a
month for work in the city looks good,
but we we'll remember the time last
winter and spring when we could not
buy load of hay at any price. 1t is
fairly good economy to look after a
crop always when it is ready to har-
vest.

Then came the uprising for Prince
Charlie. Against the wishes OF the
other three the master elected to ride
with the prince: which left Mr.. Henry
to take King Georges side. this being
a common policy Of great houses In
that day. So the master rode to the
North. Then came the word of Cullo-

decent time Mr.. Henry, to preserve the
estate, married Miss Alison. although
he no more than any other doubted
her love for the masters memory.
But the master was not dead. He
had escaped to sea, his escape being
not to his credit. At sea he was cap
tured by q pirate ship. BY the most
ingenious deviltry he secured the
treasure Of the pirate ship as she was
about to fall into the hands of a kings

swamps on the American shore. One
man he took to guide him out OF the
swamp, and dirked him to death after
they were safely clear of It. Thence
he continued his march to French

hide his treasure In the wilderness.
