Farmers of Henry
County Want Rain


May the Lord send rain"-such
is the prayer in the heart of every
Henry County farmer each of whom,
is anxiously keeping an eye ccked
on the heavens for propitious rain
signs, for be it known that rain is
badly needed in this county, and
must come soon or the tobacco or ~
will be mighty short this. year, also
the potatoes, but few of either hav-
ing been set out. IL ii does not
rain within week, there will he
small crops from either tobacco or
potatoes, as the plants themselves
will have dried up, and US IL Is
getting too late to set them out.
The cotton, also is backward, and
not considered good. The corn is
the best looking crop in this vicinity,
and in the event of delayed rain,
growers win put the ground they
have prepared for tobacco and pota-
toes into corn.
If rain does not come the price
of tobacco should start climbing
and the re-handlers who thought
they stood to lose much money, will
make a large profit instead, ard
the growers who still have their old
crop on hand should get a good
price.
Drouths, however, in this part OF
the country are scarce, and merci-
full rain usually comes just in the
nick of time, so The Almighty
smiles on this county, There has
been some rain at Henry, Puryear,
Cottage Grove also in the 10th dis
trict, but around Paris and in other
portions of the county it is mighty
dry and vegetable gardens, as well
as field crops, are parching and
whitening away in disgust.

SOME GOOD NEWS.

"The autumn fishing In the Mac
kenzie River mission district has been
satisfactory. There will also be plen-
ty of bread for the next seven
months"
This information did not come by
way of the news bureau; it was sent
in a letter written by the blind Oblate
missionary, Father Lecorre. Let no
one think that it is not of vita, inn
portance, in fact the news was SO
good the Father could not resist shar-
ing it with us of the southlands. Many
and many times during his twenty
years in the frozen North has this de-
voted apostle seen the nets empty
after the October fishing and the grain
bins at low ebb. Then came the long
months of stark winter famine, and "a
spring that showed many graves near
the mission enclosures.
But this year all will be snug and
safe for the Indians and Eskimos in
their skin tents or ice igloos, and let
Old Boreas do his very worst, he can
not make them shiver with fear for
there is plenty of bread for the next
seven months ~ Z" @s AZ

EARLY HISTORY OF LIBERIA ON
THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA.

The Catholic Church has always
had a hard struggle in the Negro
Free State of Liberia, but the hope
Of the missionaries there is not ex-
tinguished. Attention is drawn to
them by the fact that the one hun
dredth anniversary of the sending of
the first colony to Africa in connection
with the settlements of Liberia is to
be celebrated in 1921.
Some of the first American colon
lists were Catholic negroes from Mary
land and adjoining states. The atten-
ton of the propaganda was directed
to their spiritual needs. The second
provincial Council of Baltimore, in
1888, planned to meet the difficulties
of the situation. Very Rev. Edward
Barron, who was Vicar-General of Phil
adelphia, Rev. John Kelly of New York
and Denis Pindar, a lay catechist
from Baltimore, volunteered their
services for this mission.
They sailed for Africa from Balti-
more in 1841. Father Barron cele-
brated the first Mass at Cape Palmas
on February 10, 1912. Not enough
missionaries were available to achieve
practical results at that time, so Faith.
er Barron returned to the United
States. He went to Rome, and was
made Vicar Apostolic of the Guineas
He returned to Liberia with seven
priests Of the Congregation of the
Holy Ghost. Sickness soon made it's
inroads into the work of the brave
missionaries, however, and five of the
priests died on the mission of fever
The climate forced the Fathers of the
Holy Ghost to give up the work. The
permanent mission lapsed in this re
gion until 1884.
The present laborers in Liberia are
members of the Lyons Society of AZ
rican Missions, the Project Apostolic
being Mgr. Oge.

ADOPT SOMEBODY.

> atsN = t.i q
Adopt somebody in the far off mis-!
sion lands. The deed will repay you
in human interest as well as spirit
ually: You will learn something init
mate about places that have hitherto
been just vague spots on the map to
you, and you will also get in touch
with personalities that have all the
charm of novelty.
There are all sorts OF persons avail
able for adoption. First come the
little cast-away Chinese babies, whose
history is familiar to readers of mis-
sion periodicals. Then there are
young black girls in Africa needing to
be saved from sorcerers, slave dealers
and polygamous marriages; also maid
ems in India DESTROYS to become mans,
but unable to because they have no
dowry. Boys in all the missions may
be adopted and sent to school and
college. Cathechists would like to- be
adopted SO that they may, be permitted
ito go forth among their countrymen
and preach the Gospel. And lastly
comes the great work of adopting a
seminarian and making of him a
priest upon the altar.
The cost of these various adoptions
ranges from five dollars to about one
thousand dollars. Personal letters,
photographs and various bits of news
will be sent You frequently and you
viii find your charge q constant de-
light. IS.

WHOLE. PROTESTANT coNGREGA.
ETloN RECEIVED INTO CHURCH
IN CHINA.

The readiness of the Chinese peo-
pie to embrace the Catholic Faith is
instanced by the recent remarkable
accession to the Church of the entire
Protestant Congregation of Tsai Tien
in the Province of Hupeh, China. Two
schools have been opened in the town
by the Chinese Mission Society who
have charge of the district.
The missionary now in charge of
the Tsai Tien mission, and who re-
ceived this large number of converts,
is Rev. Michael J. McHugh, well
known in many parts of the United
States where he spent some time pre-
Sious to sailing for China, in making
an appeal for his new mission. He is
a member Of the Chinese Mission So
ciety of Omaha.
Father .McHugh is not fully a year
in China, having sailed with a number
of other missionaries from San Fran
cisco in the July of last year. He
spent the first few months at Han
Yang, the mission headquarters, and
was later assigned the mission of Tsail
Then on the banks of the Han River
some fifty miles from Han Yang. He
is assisted in his mission by Father
Ferguson who sailed with him last
year.
The remarkable conversion occurred
in. his parish few weeks ago when
the native Protestant minister of the
town expressed his wish to become
a Catholic, and was Immediately fol-
lowed by his whole congregation,
numbering three hundred souls. Pre-
viousiy there had been no Catholic
Church or school In the town, and a
priest only visited It very rarely.

NEW SEMINARY.

Acting upon instructions received
from Rome. a seminary for the educa-
ton of native clergy has been opened
in Amer, India, by the .Capuchins.
But it will be long time before any
priests can be ordained there as the
work is progressing so slowly. India
is desperately poor as far as church
revenue goes and the missionaries de.
pend wholly on outside help. Father
Augustin, stationed at Parbatpura
who asks help for the seminarians
begs also for aid in educating cate,
chists. 1t is upon them that the mis-
sion must rely until a few priests can
be placed before the altar.

POOR CHINA.

sionaries asking help, but the mission
aries have no means to relieve them.
And then dreadful howlings and yell
ings, frightful shrieks and groans, la.
mentable cries fill the air. To add to
this misery murder, suicide and rob.
berry are going on everywhere through
ont the country. The missionaries
ask themselves: How or where shall
we get food for these millions of Chi
nese? No. solution offers itself Only
America can save u.s." :
