Church Entertainment.

Last Tuesday night, the 21st ult,
the elders and deacons of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church of this
city partook of luncheon at Jones
Cafe, and it expresses it very mildly
to say that it was most enjoyable
one. In fact, every one voted ready
to repeat the same and that all
should bring their wives and the ones
who were not fortunate enough to
| have a wife are to bring some lady
friend At an opportune time our
pastor, Rev. w. B. Cunningham, was
called upon and made most appropri-
ate remarks as to the general work
and prosperity of the church DUNG
the year, it being one of the most
prosperous years in the history of
the church. Some fifty members
have been added to the roll this year,
including a number of heads of fam
lilies, and as we are operating under
the budget plan of course all the fl
nancial obligations have been met
promptly and we will close the years
work with some funds left IN the
treasury.
The senior Christian Endeavor So
ciety is one of the most successful
societies in the denomination, and
during the year junior society has
been organized with large member
ship.
w. w. Lovelace, Sam Lovelace,
w. E. Hudgins, ]. w. Burney, Joe
Prieto, j. F. Howard, G. w. Tucker,
Harry Harper and Warren Reeves all
made short talks speaking of the
Junior ,Endeavor Society, the excel-
lent work of the Sunday school, the
increased interest in the work of
the choir, the organizalon of the
young mems choir and the children's
choir. In fact every department of
church work, including the mission
airy societies and Co-Workers is in
most prosperous and healthy condi-
ton. The salay of the pastor has
been increased for another year and
the outlook is most hopeful along all
lines of religious work. In addition |
to the ones named above as being
present we also name DR.. Napier, |
Jim McLeskey, Robert Bond and son.
Robert Bond, Jr., and Butler Cald-
we'll.
Truly the occasion was a most en-
joyable and fruitful one in all re-
spects. The spirit of good cheer and |
optimism prevailed during the entire
meeting and we loathed to leave |
when the hour which had seemed to
pass on golden pinions, arrived for
separation.> We are sure that all |
present felt that the time had been |
well spent, and that our church re-
lations had been cemented together |
more firmly and each one said, "Be-
hold how good and pleasant it is for |
brethren to dwell together ii unity"
After a short prayer by our pastor
for the peace and unity that has pre-
vailed during closing year and that |
for the incoming year the sweet fra
GRANGE from our dear Heavenly Faith
er's throne may reach the hearts and |
lives of all of us with such spiritual |
blessings as are always fruitful of |
much good, the meeting closed.

DeKalb County Is
 Strong for Leuying
 the Three-MiH Tax

Fort Payne June 23.-( (Special.)- Since the county 3-mill school tax was retained by the voters in last springs election there seems to be a widespread desire over the county for the levying of an additional s-mi,l tax in many of the school districts.
 Last week IT out of 19 districts in which elections were held voted for the district tax and elections for B other districts have been called for July 26. On next Monday an election will be held in Fort Payne to deter mine whether or not the collection of the district tax is to be continued. Shortly after the 3-mill tax was first voted in the county this district along with few others In the coun- ty. inaugurated the special district tax, but under the law these special district authorizations expired this year. the first election in the county holding good for only two years.
 While the county 3mill tax is dis tributed per capita to the various d1s- tricts along with other school funds, the district tax collected remains ao- solute1v in the district where collect ed. Under this plan the Fort Payne dis trict collects from this source over twice as much money as Is allotted from the regular school funds. by .le county board of educatic..
 The general support given the 3 mill stax by the people of DeKalb county is evidenced by the fact that in three of the districts in which cleo tions were held last week there was not a single vote against the propo- sition.

would he without service, and would suppose that few homes would have been built had it been fore known that electricity and gas would not be available.
 Not single one of these capital expenditures has eyer been criti- cised
 More Expenditures Ahead
 And let us see what is ahead. Immediately a paving programme on the part of the city estimated to cost the receiver in excess of s350,O00 And then the commissioner of public utilities has iusistently demanded that the gas mains be run into the new territory such as Shadysde, Pratt City, Central park, and Gray mont. Only a small part of these gas extensions would be profitable if the money were available. The cost of the whole has been estimated to be slightly in excess of $200,000. And SO the city is presently demanding additional capital expenditures irI excess of half million dollars.
 q shall not debate the question whether the law means what it says, nep whether Judge Grubb is wrong and Mir. Johnston Is right; but must say this--that if there was a cuestion mark in the minds 'of the city fathers, or it's representative, respecting the propriety of these, or any of these expenditures, notice should have been given before the expenditure was incurred. They nave known of every expenditure. They have contracted for substantial part of them themselves, and are still demanding more
 Let practice be adjusted to theory before we go further on this score
