THE NEW PASTOR breaches.

DR.. H. B. Johnson, the new pastor
appointed to the wor kof Lexington
charge, by the recent session of the
Southern Methodist Memphis Confer
ence at Mckenzie, preached his first
sermon in Lexington church last Sun
day morning-and it was our good
fortune to hear him. DIR. Johnson be-
gan his sermon from Paul's letter to
the Romans so quietly that we were
inclined to believe that he had no
"pep'-no magnetism, but he soon
convinced us to the contrary and his
sermon proved to be a delightful, log
ical and edifying discussion of what
it takes to constitute Christian life
and Christian character. Any man
who can preach a sermon like DIR.
Johnson's first one here can preach
more like it and we know that he will
make Lexington churc ha good pastor
if his congregation will give him their
cooperation.
Rev. H. A. Butts, late Presiding Ell
der of Lexington District, who now
goes to Paris and Rev. A. G.. Melton.
recent pastor of Lexington Circuit,
were on the stand with DIR. johnson,
and Elder Butts said it was his pleas
ure to congratulate Lexington church
upon having secured the most popular
preacher in the Memphis Conference.
There were services in the after
noon, including love feast, the last
service here in which Bro. Butts was
to participate-unless he comes back
as visitor or is sent back at some
future time by the Conference. We'll
come DR.. Johnson and goodbye Bros.
Butts and Melton.

is THE WORLD GROWING BET
TER!

Discussion of the question which
caps this article has not been and will
not be confined to the present. II is
ages old. DR.. H. B. Johnston, the new
pastor Of Lexington M. E. Church,
South, takes the position of the af-
firmative-but is 1t SO? He says there
are to-day more good men, women,
boys and girls than ever before-a
rather unusual assertion for one who
has passed the half century mark,
maybe the preacher is right-but let's
specialize:
Are there more honest men than
heretofore Is more truth being
sworn in the courts-and men more
liberal and neighborly or are more of
them given to selfishness and dollar
chasing? Can a merchant more Sc
curely sell on credit and get his mon
ey without demanding mortgage or
other security? How many heartless
profiteers do we have-and what pro-
portion of the people have any limit
but the sky to what they. will demand
if they can possibly get it for any,
thing they have to sell or anything
they can do?
AS to women--are more of them
keeping homes, rearing families and
leading lives "consecrated" to any
thing except personal ease, dress and
show? We are growing more intel
ligent, more fastideous, dress better,
have more good things to eat-but
are we more moral, better in fact?

SPEAKING OF PREACHERS.

Our own Fleetwood Ball, pastor of
Lexington's First Baptist church, was
"back on his job" last Sunday, preach
ing in the morning, after spending
most Of last week in Nashville attend
ing gthe State Baptist Convention, of
which important body he was re-
elected secretary-and by the way,
the papers in reporting the conven-
ton called him Doctor Ball. Rev.
Fleetwood, was, as we stated, not
only bac kin the pulpit from which he
has preached for almost twenty years,
but those who heard him say that he
preached a most excellent discourse
one of his best. By the way, Bro.
Ball, while yet comparatively young,
is becoming a veteran in the service
and of the twenty-six years since he
first took up the ministry for his life
work, twenty Of them have been
spent here-an undoubted compli-
ment to him as a preacher and gener-
al pastor, for Lexington Baptist
church is well able to call" men Of
well-known ability, standing and pop
ularity to serve tall of which they
think they have in Fleetwood Ball, so
they hold on to him and ne continues
to give them his preference.

THE BRAVE.

The soldier fought in rain and sleet
But never willing to retreat;
But when the Germans came over the
top,
They were determined not to stop.
They were always brave and true,
Whether there were many or few,
And they fell on No Mans Land,
Always fighting hand to hand.
They love dtheir country good and
true,
Fighting under the red, white and
blue.
And crossed the waters with proud
heart.
Each one trying to do his part.

HOMER PENDERGRAss.

The death of Homer Pendergrass,
Of the old 9th district, which is noted
in our Wildersivlle correspondence, re-
moves from Henderson county one of
its most valued young men. Here in
Lexington he was well-known and
well beloved, for here he attended
school and this town became home to
him. He was an honorable man, in
the highest sense Of the word and in
his contact with the young as a teach
er his example, and precept were an
incentive to them to "Do noble things,
not dream them all day long -and thus
make life, death and that vast forever
one grand sweet song
Homer Pendergrass would have
been power for good in the world
had he lived and his untimely death
from tuberculosis should make his
surviving friends stand ready at all
times to enlist in the war against the
plague which causes one six of all
deaths in this fair land.

BASKET BALL NEWS.


Last Friday night the basket ball
team won greater victory which
gave them greater confidence in them
selves than any other victory they
could have won. This was the defeat
of the fast Humboldt team which was
the only high school team that de-
feated the local team last season. This
game with the sore of 10 to 10 was one
of the fastest and cleanest ever play
ed in Lexington. This game was the
first of the series, but the local team
feels confident that they will win the
next one.
The game with Humboldt came as a
surprise to great many, for game
with Maury City was scheduled but
this was called off by that team
Thursday and the Humboldt game
was secured.
Thursday OF this week at 2 p. M,
the local team will meet Mckenzie,
and good game is expected. After
the game free football game is
promised by local two teams.

fer that spelling of the word) Shoals

said further that if we could not only
compete with but beat the Chilians in
the production of nitrates we ought to
quit. The report was given out at the
same time that Thomas A. Edison,
the electrical wizard of the world,
would visit the shoals and help esti-
