Elaborate Affair Held At Hatchett
 Creek Church

GOODWATER, Ala, August 13.-- Special )-The home coming event held at Hatchett Creek -Brownville Presbyterian church for three days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, closed Sunday. This was one of the most elaborate affairs of it's kind ever held in this section. Its success is due largely to the untiring efforts of Rev. C. G.

 This church was founded 91 years ago. The community was largely settled by Scotchmen and their de- cendants are still in that community. One of the most prominent men in that community now is Uncle" John McPhail, who has resided there for more than 70 years, and who for al most half century was superin- tendent of the Sunday school, and is the father of Judge McPhail ot Woodlawn and Rev. J. D. McPhail Of Eufaula.
 A large crowd was present each day and Friday and Saturday were set aside for the lawyers, doctors and others, except the ministers, who had been reared in that community lo Hidho duoi eoSeS. SuHudy tiIc mn isters were given the day. Rev. T. c. Watts preached a scholarly ser mon on Presbyterianism at the morn ing hour. In the afternoon Rev. c. G. Partridge used for text: The Country Church and Its Value to the Nation" followed by Rev. r. II. Car michael, with the subject: Christian Education in Our State," and last Rev. J. M. Partridge addressed the meeting on the subject: "Wht Old Hatchett Creek Church Has Meant to This Community"
 A bountiful dinner was spreade un- der the spreading oaks of the grove and every one, whether Presbyterlan or not, enjoyed the occasion.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT URGED

Judge Woolsey Finnell, chairman of the county board of revenue. Monday urged the state highway commission to begin as early as pos sible the work of paving the streets from the Northport bridge to the Byler road a distance of about a mile and a half. and the paving of the road from the university to Cas- tie hill. These short links will be built of concrete by the state, but are at present in such bad condition that Judge Finnell took the matter up with the commission, seeking : early action. The board of revenue passed favorably upon resurfacing the Birmingham road from the H. mile post to the Jefferson county line, but it is undecided whether it will be more practical for the county t0 do the work or let it out by con- tracts. This phase of the matter will be decided at the meeting of the board of revenue Saturday.
