While the fire department was the means of preventing further serious Us9cf the Sunday night fire at the oil mill there can be great i'm movements made in the efficiency of this department The equipment was found to be not all together and con siderable delay was had in getting it together Fortunately a fire wall gave them the needed time Another time it may be different. At the plant nll Mas as good as could have been desired. The light plant and the wat CT plant were both 100 per cent eff c'ent. The council would do well to see that the fire department is better organized, and that some one man ',e made responsible for seeing that all equipment is at all times in it's pro- per place and in good order. Pay the man for his services and then sec that the services are rendered. This foresight may at any time be the means of staying a disastrous fire.

A deeply impressive service was
held at the First Baptist church on
last Sunday evening, when thai
church ordained to the full work Of
the Christian ministry Rev. Richard
Newton Gwen, Of this city, in the
presence of an audience which com
pletely filled the building. BY prev.
ious action the church had voted to
call a council or presbytery for the
purpose Of examining Mr. Owen as
to his qualifications for the ministry
This council, composed Of visiting
ministers and deacons from adjoining
churches and the deac0ns from the
First Baptist church, met at 7:15
Sunday evening in the parlor Of the
church and conducted the examine
alton, which was in every way salts
factory, and so reported to the
church, which then voted that the
ordination service be held.
DR.. A. u. Boone, pastor of the First
Baptist church, Memphis, preached
the ordination sermon, using as his
subject "The Divine Call to the Min
istry." DR.. Boone's sermon was
thoughtful, practical and convincing,
and was delivered in that serious,
earnest and reverent manner so
characteristic Of the speaker. After
emphasizing the fact that God calls
men into the ministry, he spoke Of
some Of the things which often hinder
young men from entering the min
istry, and Of how one might know
that he had been called to preach.
The sermon made profound inn
sion upon all who heard 1t.
Rev. E. Z. Atwood, pastor Of the
Baptist church at Dyersburg, in a
very brief and able way, delivered
the charge to the candidate and to
the church, and the paster, Rev.
Charles e. Wauford. on behalf Of the
church, presented to Mr.. Owen q
handsome American Standard Vers-
ion Bible, the same being a gift of
the church. After a very feryent
ordination prayer by Rev. W. R.
Pickett, followed the laying on Of
hands by members Of the council.
While the congregation sang "Blest
BE the Tie That Binds" hundreds
came forward to give Mr.. Owen
their hands, and thus to bid him
Gods speed in the noble work to
which he means to devote his life.
Mr.. Owen is the son of Judge and
Mrs. w. A. Owen and is a young man
Of great promise He is a graduate
Of the University Of Tennessee, and
IS at present student in the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary,
\ ouisville, XIV. from which institution
ha hopes to graduate within the next

ton and linton county are unnuro-
bared and every one of them will

inc interest.

SEVEN CARLOADS OF
STRAWBERRIES SOLD


Mr.. J. M. Polk, secretary Of the
Upton County Berry Growers AS
sociation, reports that the straw
berry crop III this county will have
been completely gathered at the end
of this week. Seven carload lots
have been sold up to Wednesday,
with the possibility of two or three
ears being added to this number
during the week.
Throughout the season, weather
conditions, have been very unfavor-
able, and consequently nothing like
a normal yield was realized by the
growers However, market prices
have been satisfactory and no
trouble was experienced by the as
ISOLATION management in placing the
berries on the market. Competition
in buying the crop has been very
much in evidence.
The seven carloads already sold
brought the sum Of $14,696.35 to the
growers. The market is still strong
and with the two additional cars ex-
pected this week, it is estimated that
the crop will reach in cash value
$4,000 The yield, Of course, was
nothing like normal yield, but the
crop was d profitable one, compared
with other crops grown in this
county. Many of the growers have
increased their acreage and prospects
for a greater crop next season are
promising.
Strawberry production in Upton
county does not equal in acreage to
some of our neighboring counties,
but interest in the croD is growing
every year and it is safe to say that
it will only be matter of a few
years when Upton county will rank
with the larger producing strawberry
counties of the state.
