ron 4. II. p. church will probably
either build an entirely new church
or else spend several thousand dol
lars in remodeling the present. church
building, it was stated this morning.
The present church building is in such
condition that something must be
done toward its repair. There are a
number of the 260 members OF the con-
gregation who favor building a new
church out and out and there are others
who believe that the congregation
should attempt nothing further than
repairing and remodeling of the pres
ent building. At n congregational
meeting held following the morning
service yesterday, the matter was dis
cussed at some length. The result
Of the meeting was the appointment
of committee to investigate the cost
Of new building as well as the cost
of remodeling the present structure.

grcgabional meeting to be held next

Enrolment Slow.
Inquiry Of the Democratic primary
enrolment committee here develops
tnat Sharon voters have so far proved
very slow in putting their names on
the books. Hardly more than a dozen
women have enrolled. However, it is
expected that the enrolment here will
include practically every man and wo-
man eligible to vote by the time the.
books close. Sharon has two candi-
dates for probate judge, Messrs. =,
Jeptha d. Gwin and Ralph II. Cain
and it is presumed that the candidates
will do their bit toward influencing
! 100 per cent. enrolment in the home
precinct at least. -r.-a
WeeviIs Not So Numerous.
John S. Rainey, well known farmer
who began offering his hands and all
who wanted to pick a penny each for
boil weevils gathered from his cotton
a couple of weeks ago and who paid
Sc for 500 weevils the first week, only
got 800 weevils last week. The boil
weevil pickers searched as diligently
last week as they did the week bes
fore: but the wcevils were not there.
Mr.. Rainey has the job of counting the
weeviIs before paying out the head
reward and the task of counting is
almost as great task as picking them
off the cotton. After they are counted
and paid for ne gives them a liberal
dose of kerosene and then they go
where all wcevls should go. .-.. a..-.
