people attended these services. The
morning was given over to the chill

pared program, Mr.. w. E. McClana-
han presiding. After this service a
most bountiful dinner was served on
the ground by the ladies Of the
church. 1t is said that after feeding
the 600 people present that there was
enough left over to have more than
fed another crowd equally as large.

tor, Rev. Danley gave an interesting
talk, giving the history Of the church
since it was organized in 1885 until
the present time. Rev. ]. L. Latta,
the only exepastor there, paid homage
to the founders of the church and to
the pastors who have served in Ebe-

done, having sent out three ministers
and one missionary to the foreign
field. Messrs. j. D. McClanahan, j.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION

Objects to Parlance.
Editors Note-The writeup Of the
ball game between the Charleston
boys and the local team was in no
way meant as a reflection on the
Charleston boys. The score, which
was Is to 2, showed that the teams
were not evenly matched and our re-
porter simply wrote up the game as
he saw it, without any intention of
personal reflection as to the Charles
ton boys. The Byars-Hall boys did
receive a severe drubbing at the hands
of the Charleston boys some weeks
ago, but the game was not reported
to us and was overlooked until too
late for publication.
Editor Leader-In your last weeks
issue appeared a local in which you
referred to a game of base ball be-
tween the Covington and Charleston
clubs as a "listless" game and easy
picking" We feel, Mr. Editor, that
such innuendoes are a reflection upon
the intelligence of our good people,
and we keenly feel the thrust at our
boys as "easy picking" as if they
were flock of geese.
You failed to publish the defeat our
team administered to your high school
club some weeks ago on our local dia-
mond in a score Of IA to A. 1t was
the first game Of ball our boys had
ever played, or even practiced to-
gether, yet we didn't crow over the
victory and publish to the world that
we skinned your boys as if they had
been a pack of coons.
We are all loyal citizens of Upton
county, and as such should haveNa
mutual and common interest in her
welfare, whether it be in the sporting
arena or behind the counter. There
fore, we ask Of you to deal as fair
with rural club as you do your own.

CROP CONDITIONS THIS WEEK

We have had another good week on
crops, but the continued showers are
keeping the folks busy fighting grass.
The saving of the clover hay crop,
too, is interfering with the cultiva-
tion Of the other crops to some ex-
tent.
The older corn is growing off fine,
but the acreage is limited,
Cotton is responding to the warm
nights and cultivation BY growing
rapidly.
Quite a good many peas are being
sown and some soy beans, but it does
not seem to us that we are going
strong enough on these things yet.
Quite a good deal Of comment is
being made on the amount of waste
land that we have that ought to be
in pasture. All along the roads one
can see little bottoms where grass is
growing knee-high and would make
fine grazing for the dairy COWS.
Cream shipments are getting larger
and our people will realize the value
of pastures and the Importance of
arranging the fences so as to get the
most out of the land They will real
ize, too, the double value of winter
pastures.
We have not been able to learn
what preparations people are making
to have, fall gardens and turnip
patches, but we are confident that
they will not overlook these impor-
tant items at time like the present.
