Members of Church, Spurred to Ac-
tiOn BY Pastor, Antici-
pate Big Revival.

Rev. C. Norman Guice, of Con-
way, Ark, evangelist for the annual

ing.
!. Earnest members of this church,

big revival A church of a large
membership, church of an unusual
number of active workers, a church
that is ever seeking to advance. the
First Methodist Church expects this
revival to be the most inspiring that
has ever been conducted at this
church.
A whole hearted invitation of
christian cordiality is extended by
Rev. Waters to the pastors and
other congregations TO cooperate in
the meeting, to attend the daily
services, to assist in the singing,
and to help the revival to be of a
broad benefit to the whole town.
Rev. Guice is native southerner,
whose home is in Conway, Ark. Hay-
ing been a pastor in the North
Mississippi Conference many years
before he became an evangelist,

ent Christian. He has recently held
a series of successful revivals

charge of the revival music is a
splendid music director, and will be
of much aid in conducting the re-
vival.

new ADDITIONS
WHEN PARENT
TEACHERS MEET
Committees on Membership
Active; Mrs. keenan,
Is Chairman.
Teachers Tell Benefits Of
Study and Training
During Summer.
Further Plans Being Made
For State Gathering
In October.

A larger attendance than has been
at any ParentTeacher meeting in
some time featured the regular meet
ing at Lee School, Tuesday after
noon. This manifested interest was
perhaps due largely to the arduous
efforts of the new membership COM
n1ittee of which Mrs. o. B. keenan,
is chairman, and to the popular
agitation that the organization is
receiving, prior to the state conven
tion here in October. One member
of the membership committee, Mrs
Miller, Wynn street, brought in four
teen new names, and several others,
four or five each. Also many of the
former members who have been slack
in their attendance, interest, etc,
have again become active.
Mrs. w. l. Dale, president, was
in the chair, and presided over the
program, which opened with pleas
ing vocal number, Yesterday and
Today" by Miss Margaret Porter, ac-
companied by Mrs. j. III. Bayer.
The teachers who attended summer
school, then gave short and instruc-
tive talks on the phase of their
teacher training WORK that to them
was the most impressive.
Miss Minnie Daniel discussed the
mental tests, primary work and story
telling. Miss While Wilson said
that she was the most interested in
course of playground work and
games that she took at Peabody
this summer. and appealed to the
association to help procure for the
city schools more playground appa-
ratus supplementary reading was
stressed by Miss Marion Balch, while
Miss Stella Dunn gave the most of
her attention to number work, and
told of an interesting banking sys-
tenn for the children that if establish
ed in the school, helped the number
work enormously. Miss Katherine
Porter took a course in the teaching
of history at summer school, and
Miss Lucille Brizendine, who took a
general course, said that she was
impressed with the seven laws of
teaching as outlined for her, OF
which the first demanded that the
pupil listen.
Prof. NJ M. Phillips talked to the
association generally on the co-ope-
rative influence that they could ex-
ert, and explained the crowded con-
dition of the schools this year, plead
ing with the Parent-Teacher mem
bers to strive to remedy this before
another term.
A short executive meeting of the
officers and the arrangement COM
mittee for the approaching conven-
ton, followed the program. Plans
are under encouraging headway for
the entertainment Of the delegates.
Such committees as reception and
automobiles, homes, lunches, ETC.,
have been appointed, and other
details for the state meeting are
being worked out.
The next meeting of the Parent
Teacher Association will be the regu-
lar business meeting, October TO-
it being the plan this year to alter
nate the two monthly meetings, hay.
ing one a program, the other a
business meeting.

FARMERS BEGIN HARVESTING CROP
OF FAMOUS "NANCY HALL" SWEETS

while the last years price averaged
$1.75 and more.

potato season, which means much
to the county's financial prosperity
and saved the day for many Henry
County farmers last year when the
price of cotton and the price of to-
bacco fell so distressingly below nor

exact yield of the county or to
figure on what price will be OBJ

The Paris Sweet Potato Associa-
ton that has made this branch of
farming of such vast importance in
the county, and that has direct
charge of the marketing and ship
ping of the countys output, has
grown considerably this year, has
many new members, and is antici-
pating this to be most successful
season.

But no livelier nor no more vigor-

than the one just drawing to a close.
The race between the two candidates

Ivan Fl. Dale, strong applicant for

Sheriff Story who is asking a second

the unusually many candidates for

fact that three women are applicants
for this office, has put the large

Although some few sweet potato
growers in the county, have dug
their 1921 crops of the famous Henry
County Nancy Halls, the majority
of the tuber raisers will not dig
until next week, and the extensive
shipping of this unequaled variety
of the potato will not begin until
later i'm the season.
However, the tubers are making
their appearance in the local gro
ceries in abundance, and in their
primary deliciousness are gracing
many a home table.
/ 1t is estimated that the potato
acreage in the county this year is
about three-fourths of what il was
last year, but the quality of the
tubers is excellent, and win attract
a substantial price when the season

Straw kellys Are
Chapeau Discards
AS Mercury Drops

Straw-covered domes will
disappear in Paris after to-
day, according to the dictates
of masculine fashions, to say
nothing of the necessity for a
change in mems millinery on
account of the weather.
The last day of September,
not only in Paris but all over
the South, spells the doom for
straw hats. On the first day
of October a man caught wear
ing straw kelly must suffer
the demolishing of it by his
comrades, and not get angry
either. 1t is the custom, as
well as the penalty, and the
guy who clings to his straw
after today must prepare to
have his crows nest exposed.

Orioles peppery leader, land he made
some noise but didn't say anything.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-John
w. Heisnan will remain as coach Of
the University of Pennsylvania foot
ball eleven, unless the Council on
Athletics deems 1t wise to relieve him
OF his contract which covers 1922 SO
that he will be free to take advantage
of the $40 900 offer from the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati.
According to, Edward II. Bushnell,
acting graduate manager of athletics,
Heisman has received many offerings,
including the tempting plum from
Cincinnati.
Last Saturday Mr.. Heisman told
me-" said Bushnell, that he had re-
ceived several offers to coach at other
colleges. He did not say that he
would place the matter before the
Athletic Council, but merely stated that
as his contract here called for another
year, he was not free to accept"
Heisman is not the type of man to
quit under fire. However, there is so
much opposition to him among the
alumni and undergraduates that 1t
would not be surprising II 1t were
later announced that the University
had excused him from living up to the
letter of his contract.

WHY kAUFF CAN I
TAKE 0LOPLACE
Says Benny's Reinstatement
Would Impair Morale Of
Other Players.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Through
John c. Toole, attorney for Judge
Lands in Benny Kauff's su.s sns,i-
tuted in the Supreme Court against
the commissioner, Lands has made
public his reasons for not permitting
Benny Kauff to play with the Giants
last season.
lands said that he had read the
testimony on which Kauff had been
found not guilty of stealing automo-
biles. but found that 1t compromised
Benny's character.
In fact Lands wrote to kauff on
August rs as follows:-'The evidence
disclosed a state Of affairs that more
than seriously compromises your char
acter and reputation.
1.-The reasonable and necessary re-
suit of this Is that your mere presence
In the lineup would inevitably burden
patrons Of the game with grave ap-
prehensions as to its integrity
In answer to the suit Lands said
"Kauff could not be restored TO GOOD
standing without impairing the morale
of other players, and without further
injury to the good name OF profess
sional baseball"
