sey and the western shore Of Virginia.
It will last for one week, the day

men of national repute. Among those
already announced on the program
are: DR.. Thomas H. Lewis, Washing
ton; Rev. Leigh Layman of Japan
and Rev. T. C. Cassidy Of Bir7ning-
ham, Alabama
Although the handsome edifce is,
seemingly, large enough to accommo-
date all who may desire to visit Sal
isbury to attend this meeting Of cler-
gyman, still the expectation is that
it will be taxed to the limit. In order
that all may be able to hear the pro-
ceedings, an anplifier will be install
ed to convey the speakers messages
to all parts of the house.
The ministers and delegates will be
entertained at private homes, which
are being offered by members of all

ton Conference Of the M. E. Church
will meet in, Wilmington, Del, at the
Harrison street church Wednesday

The different superintendents are
busy just now naming delegates tc
the Lay Conference, which meets
March .28 and 20 in connection with
the annual conference.
Joseph C. Stevenson and Edward L
Blaine, Sr., have been elected from
Pocomoke City as principal and alter
nate delegates, respectively, to this
conference the same being held fo1
the purpose of electing delegates to
the General Conference.
These annual sessions are occasions
of great interest to both laymen and
the clergy; and possibly there is no
feature of them which is of greater
moment than the matter of changing
homes. While ,as in every sort Of
convention there is more or less Of
politics, still preachers destiny SO
far as the location of his home for al
least a year, is sometimes not known
till the last day of the conference
There are, of course, requests made
from certain congregations for par
ticular pastors; and, it maybe, the
"wires are pulled" little bit in or

ingly necessary adjunct to any gath.

Boys and Girls Show
Much Interest in
Pure Bred Chickens

Mr.. R. L. Vansant, County Agent
and }. B. Oglesby, cashier of the
Bank of Powder Springs, visited a
number of schools in the Powder
Springs territory last week in the in
terest Of an organized poultry club,
as we'll as other agricultural clubs,
among the boys and girls. Good re-
spouse is being had from these visits
and the indications are that a large
club will be organized in this com
munlty Mr., Oglesby announced
that the Bank of Powder Springs
would supply Matching eggs from
pure bred flocks of Rhode Island
Reds, Barred Rocks and White Leg
horns to all members enrolled in the
poultry clubs on a deferred payment
plan. By purchasing these eggs in
wholesale quantities the bank has Sc
cured them at reduced price and
Mr.. Oglesby states that he is not linn
iting the supply to boys and girls,
but will furnish any one who is in
terested in the production of pure
bred poultry.
The Dunn-Dickson Co. of Mariet-
ia is also distributing Matching eggs
from pure bred fiocks of Rhode Is
land Reds and Barred Rocks among
the poultry fanciers on similar plan
to that offered by the Bank of Pow
der Springs. Other banks in the
county are planning to aid in this
splendid movement to encourage pure
bred poultry by supplying Matching
eggs to those interested in poultry.
Mr.. Vansant states that he is plan
ming to visit all of the schools of the
county in the interest of agricultural
club work just as rapidly as possible
and that he is stressing poultry work
at this time, since this is the season
for the Matching of baby chicks.
The Cobb County Poultry Associa-
ton is very anxious to see a suffi-
cient interest shown in the CONNER
cial production of pure bred poultry
to warrant a systematic plan of mar
keting the products comparatively,
which will mean a greater profit to
the producer.

Woman's Club to
Hold Regular
Meeting Tuesday

The regular meeting of the Mari
eta Woman's Club will be held at
the \. w. c. A. rooms on next Tues
day afternoon at o'clock. A meet
ing OF the executive board has been
called for ESQ o'clock at the same
place.
Plans will be made for raising the
clubs pledge of 500 to the library
and every member should be present
to lend her aid in this behalf. The
fact that our library is essential in
keeping our high school on the ac-
credited list, alone, should stimulate
every club member to do her part in
keeping it up to the highest possible
standard,
The History Section will be in
charge of the program and will pre-
sent its chairman, Mrs. George N.
Lennon, who will speak informally
on Everyday Psychology" Though
quite modest regarding her attain
ments, Mrs. Lennon is we'll equipped
intellectually to talk on this subject.
She was for a number of years in
structor in the University of Gin
clnnati, receiving her masters degree
from Columbia University. Also be-
fore coming south she held the office
of principal of the Teachers Train
ing School at Youngstown, Ohio.
Mrs. Lennon has given unstinted-
ly of her time and accomplishments
to the Woman's Club since coming
to Marietta nearly five years ago and
the fact that she will leave the city
in the early spring to take up her
abode in another state is indeed re-
gretable.

DOCTOR BEFORE COURT
R. C. Prisque Charged With Praetie
 ing Without State Certificate

The case of Dr. Raymond C. Prisque of Dayville, charged with practicing medicine without certificate of reg istration was continued until April 5 and he was released on his own recog- nizance by Judge William Woodward in Killingly town court Tuesday.
 Dr. Prisque pleaded not guilty on each of three counts, which grew out of complaint made by the husband of Mrs. Ella Holbrook of East Kill ingly that the physician had treated her on January 9, 10, and 13.
 Backing up his assertions that under new ruling physicians who have had their licenses revoked and who have filed an appeal to the superior cour; may continue their practice pending the courts decision, Dr. Prisque read from newspaper which quoted States Attorney Alcorn as sayinl that he would recommend no prosecu tions until after the appeals had beer heard.
 Prisque was called before the extra ordinary grand jury in Hartford earl, in the investigation and his certifi cate was revoked by the public healtf council following recommendation from the jury, through the eclectic examining board, that 1t had been procured by fraud.

We had a bad storm and that made it worse. We couldn't get off so we had to stay staring death in the face for thirty hours. After the storm was over a Mexican gunboat came out and took us off and brought us all ashore. We stayed in dance hall with spiders all around overhead and on the walls It seemed as though they were as big as quart measures.
 We were there three days. One morning we sighted the Richmond She was coming to our rescue. We all went aboard that afternoon ana the next morning got underway foi Tampico.

Farewell Party Rendered. Mir. and Mrs.
 William Penny and Son

William F. Penny and family left Putnam early yesterday morning, by motor, for Elizabeth, N. J., where they will make their home, MT. Penny having accepted position there with the Durant Motor Car Company. The household goods will be moved later on, after Mir. Penny has located a ten ement.
 News that Mir. Penny had resigned as master mechanic of the Manhasset Mfg. Co. did not come as a great sur prise, for his friends believed that his leaving town was but foregone con clusion. because of the pending sale of the Manhasset Company at auction soon. Friends, however. regret that he and his family have gone, for their friendship was treasured possession. However, the most cordial of good wishes 20 with them to their new home and labors. MT. Penny will be assistant plant engineer at the large Durant factory, where automobiles are manufactured.
 It was eight years ago that the fam fly came to Putnam from Bridgeport, Mr. Penny taking up his duties as in- structor in the drafting department at Ailt 1tdbt aat o1ANNts A1lA etalo aEO he resigned to become master mechan- ie of the Manhasset Go.
 Wednesday evening a farewell par ty was held for Mir. and Mrs. Penny, in the evening by the adult members of St. Philips church. Earlier in the evening a similar party was held for their son Roderick, by members of the Sunday school. Roderick was present ed with . gift by which he will be helped to remember his pleasant times with his Putnam friends, and his par ents were also remembered with tok- ems of esteem from their friends of the church-the church for which both Mir. and Mrs. Penny had labored so earnestly and well. Mrs. Penny was director of the choir and Mir. Penny was lay vice chairman of the parish executive committee and one of the most active members of the church. They both will be greatly missed.
 Mir. Penny retired last month as al derman from Ward One, he having been appointed during 1923 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John C, Johnson.
