The Lowndes County Musical Con-
vention win meet in annual session
at New Salem Baptist Church on next
Saturday and Sunday, Aug. and 8.
The convention will be called to order
on Saturday morning promptly at 10
o'clock. Each and every singing class
in the county is urged to send at least
three delegates with a written report
from each class. 1t is very important
that all the reports be in the hands
Of the secretary Saturday The fol-
lowing are the officers elected at the
last session of the convention: DR..
Emmett Jameson, president; Mr.. ".
B. Polk, vice-president; Prof. J. C.
Cockerham, secretary treasurer; Mr..
]. L. Smith, chaplain. All the officers
are urged to be present.
We are informed that elaborate pre-
parations are being made by the cit
liens of the New Salem section to
make this the best session of the
Lowndes County Musical Convention
ever held and also to royalty enter
tain the delegates and visitors.
Prof. r. w. Bozell has a special
program of several numbers that he
will put over during the convention.
One of the numbers is the youngest
director of music in the county, who
is only seven years of age. He has
several little girls and boys who will
direct the music for short time on
Saturday and Sunday, which will
greatly help to make the convention
a great success. A most hearty well
come is in waiting with wide open
doors, to all the visitors.
There was a veil Of sadness and
sorrow cast over this section on last
Monday when the sad news reached
Caledonia that the soul Of Mr.. c. w,
Shedd had been waited home to
heaven by a convoy of holy angles,
after spending long and usful life
on earth, trying to make the world
better by having lived in it. Every
body was his friend, for to know him
was to love and honor this heightened
Christian gentleman. For a long
number of years he lived one mile
from Caledonia, where he and Mr..
VIM. Nickles owned and operated the

ten days singing school at New
Salem, successfully taught by Prof.
R. w. Bozell. who had prepared and
put on a most excellent program,
which it is needless to say, was en-
joyed by all those present. New
Salem has the honor under the leader
ship of Prof. Bozell of having one of
(if not) the best classes in music
in the county. The following is only
a partial list of the young directors
in music, who have been taught music
by Prof. Bozell: Master Fenton Kolb,
Misses Jenia Wells, Christeen bod
son, Leila May Stevenson, Ada Coal
and Stella Cook.
Y All the above range from seven to
twelve years Of age. The following
are the grown young men who are
directors in music: Mr.. Stanley
Partain, Mr.. Grady Boyd and Mr.
Rushton Stinson. All the above direc-
tors and also the entire class acquit-
ted themselves we'll and deserve the
hearty applauses of the entire COM
munity for their good singing and
to the young directors in
music.
This class meets every Sunday
night and Prof. Bozell extends most
cordial invitation to the public to
come and take part. Everybody is
welcome.
Mrs. Ellen Jameson wishes to
thank her friends, Mrs. C. N. Eggel

How Seeds Travel.

Did you ever stop to think how many
different ways there are for seeds to
travelP If they simply fell to the ground
beneath the parent plant very few of
them would ever grow to form new
plants, because they would be too crowd.
ed. They must be scattered far and
wide, and so they are provided with diff
ferent devices by which to travel.
Many of them, like the maple and ash,
have wings by which they are lifted on
the wind and carried to distant places.
Birch seeds have two wings, and you
may often have noticed them scattered
on the winter snow, looking like focks
of tiny birds with outstretched wings.
Others, like the dandelion and milk
weed, are provided with parachutes.
Seeds with these or similar devices
depend on the wind to scatter them, but
Others prefer to be carried by people or
animals, and have hooks or claws by
which they cling to clothing or fur.
You must unwillingly have carried many
a burdock burr or beggar's tick to
safe resting place.
Many seeds which have no such means
of travelling are surrounded by juicy
berry or fruit, tempting to birds or ami.
mails. These, when eaten with the fruit,
pass unharmed through the digestive
tract and are dropped wherever the bird
or animal may wander.
If you 90 into the woods In November
Won may see and hear the witoh-hazel
guns In action, shooting the seeds In
every direction. You have seen bean
pods dry and twisted, but did you ever
think why they twist like thatp KeeI
your eyes open and see II you can and
out how ell the different seeds you know
are scattered.-Dorothy Baldwin.

The Paramount Issue.

The need for progressivism In the con.
duct of the government Is apparent, a
progressivism which will lead the nation
forward along constitutional lines and
resist that tendency to reaction which
would ignore the policies and traditions
of the fathers and yield American SOW
ereignty to supergovernment. Ad-
vsncement should be continuous, but 1t
should be along tried and proven paths,
and not into wilderness of unexplored
ideals.
As campaign issue, however, Its
value is doubtful, bnt It does mark a
sharp line Of cleavage between the two
big. political parties. The great diff.
Guilty Chairman White will encounter -is
in convincing the voters that progressiv.
ism Is to be found only In the Democratic
party. II be can do that he will win
easily.
But the Chicago platform breathes the
spirit of progressivism. 1t specifically
recognizes many Of the problems which
press for solution and 1t looks forward
with confidence to better and greater
country. And Senator Harding in bis
public utterancss expresses progressive
views that thrill with promise.
Chairman White merely has mistaken
q national ambition for q political issue,
an error which time will correct as the
real issues develop In the contest

The II. II. Merrill Farm.

At the big orchard farm OF q. b. Mer-
rill, Hebron, not more than half an sv
erage apple crop is expected this year
With 1000 or more trees on the place Mr.
Merrill is one Of the best known orchard
lists In that section of the state. Al
though his trees blossomed very full and
the apples set fairly we'll, the June drop
and other causes have reduced the
amount of fruit on the trees to much
smaller scale than was at first antioi-
pated. Not for years has the June drop
been 80 heavy In many localities, and
this Is true at the Merrill farm.
Some seasons over 1000 barrels have
been harvested, including early fruit,
such as Mcintosh Reds, and other varie-
ties. Spraying is done, but the fall fruit
is showing signs of spots due to wet
weather and other causes. The winter
varieties are looking we'll and on some of
the trees q good harvest will be made.
These include Baldwins, Northern Spys,
Ben Davis and Stark. With half an av-
erage crop or more this year, Mr.. Mer-
rll will have great many more than
has been seen in many orchards this
season.
The custom at the Merrill farm has
been to sell the fruit in the fall and 1t
depends upon the condition of the mar
ket whether or not they are shipped. In
this part of the state canning factories
have now become big factor and fair
market for various grades Of apples is
assured the grower to-day.
Orcbarding has been special feature
at the Merrill farm for many years, the
place being particularly adapted to the
raising of fruit owing to Its elevation
and soil. On the Merrill homestead
many Of the trees were set out by his an
cestors, and since he took hold of the
place, fifteen years or more ago, many
more have been set. All told the place
comprises about 500 acres of land and
before help became so scarce large
herd of cattle was kept. This has now
been reduced to about 80 head of grade
stock. A number of horses are also kept.
Just now the hay is being harvested and
this crop will aggregate 100 tons or
more.
Crops for home use and small fruit,
including plums, cherries, berries, are
other products of the place, which 10 one
of the most attractive In that part of the
town.
A practical orchsrdist, Mr.. MerrilPs
views on orcharding are interesting to
note. When asked about the outlook for
raising fruit he said: ut looks to be
very promising industry. There has
been big decrease In fruit bearing trees,
as thousands have been killed by the
hard winters. On the whole I do not be-
lieve there are nearly as many now bear
ing In the state, ss there were ten years
ago. Orchards that were In their prime
then are now extinct. A broader mar
ket is also assured the growers with the
many canning plants that are being
started which take fruit of various
grades. The care and location of an Or
ohsrd is everything to the success of the
enterprise. Personally 1t Is the only
thing that makes me stay on the farm" T"

Dairy Joe's PHILOSOPHY.

When Q man on farm tells me he's
too busy to read, I wonder If he's too
busy to pray. Knowledge Is as neoes-
sary as religion, because one engenders
the other.

It's because I'm Q stingy old duffer. But
I did It because 1 knew how that stom.
