Under the leadership of our new
pastor, Rev. Thomas H. Hamilton, our
church has taken on new life. Bishop
II. B. Parks made no mistake in
sending him to us. He came in and
took hold Of the work at once and
church is in good condition spir-
itually and financially. He is the
right man for the place, we think. .
Rev. NJ. s. Bryant, presiding elder of
the st. Joseph District, was with us
and held his First Quarterly Meeting
for this Conference year in Bethel A.
M. E. Church November 14-15. He
found that the church was moving
along nicely. The presiding elder is
a great nan and a wonderful preach
err. He preached a good sermon Sun
day morning and made tears come
from the eyes of many. Sunday night
was a Gospel feast. The presiding
elder filled the hearts of his audience.
Three joined the church. The whole
day was a Gospel Feast. -. Monday
night the Quarterly Conference re-
ports were grand. The collectiin Sun
day was S6O.4O. All day and in this

What was perhaps the most enjoy
able time Maryville has ever occurred
at the A. NJ. z. church when the Mount
Zion Baptist Church met with them to
welcome to our town the two new pas
tors. Rev. Matthew Kelley has been
called to pastor Mount Zion and the
good Bishop Parks has sent Rev. E. D.
Abbott formerly of ~Chillicothe, Mo-, to
pastor the A. NJ. z. church. The two
congregations rendered a joint recep-
ton to the two new pastors. The
church was beautifully decorated with
yellow chrysanthemums, pink carna-
lions and purple iris. We are glad
to say that a most friendly feeling ex-
lists between the churches due largely
to the cooperation of the pastors. It
was unanimously agreed to make the
reception an annual affair. Will meet
with Mt. Zion Baptist Church next No

At the republican convention the
packing interests were represented by
Senator Jim Watson of Indiana. Wat

The Federal Trade commission has

the profits Of the meat trust in par

successfully challenged, though the
packers have spent a fortune in at

of the commission has been approved

to be free from corporation influence,

The five overt acts charged against
the Goree- Hartman gins, all involving
accusations of unfair charges are:
November %, 1919, ginning of 324O
pounds of cotton for B. MrMurray and
3640 pounds for ]. J. Heflin; Decem-
her 10, 1919, ginning of cotton for F.
Kaidir and $3.50 pounds for Charles
Pittman; January 16, 1920, ginning of
$3.50 pounds of cotton for F. A. Dris-
coll.
COMPANY'S SIDE OF 1T
President Keller says the indict-
ment grew out of fight between cotton
gins in the valley. and is of small sig
nificance. He said that in 1918 his
company, which is in the cottonseed
oil business loaned man named
Shawn sufficient money to raise a
cotton crop, and that when it was
harvested he undertook to deliver it to
the Harris gin in Imperial, it being
the understanding that the Harris
company had provided Shawn with
money with which to repay tire Globe
Mills. Mr.. Keller says his company
appealed to the food administration
and compelled Shawn to deliver the
cotton as agreed, since which time. a
bitter fight between gin companies
has developed.
"There is no money in ginning"
said Mr.. Keller last night. eve went
into the gin business to secure cotton
seed, and would gladly sell our
gins tomorrow if we could obtain seed
otherwise" - gg1sssss.ll gg1sssss
