Conference Approves
Building Program
Work Starts Soon

The building program Of the Metho-
dist congregation is again advanced.
From the first action taken by the
church membership the program adopted
has gone forward. The plans and speci-
fications have been delivered to the
building committee and at an adjourned
session Of the Quarterly Conference held
Monday afternoon the officers of the
church, at the request of the church
membership, instructed the Board OF
Trustees to secure the loan of $4,000
for a period of ten years. Offers have
already been received by the church, and
the matter of working out the details
Of the far advanced program will re-
quire only few days.
The congregation from the beginning
has been practically unanimous for the
new building. The Quarterly Confer
ence has wisely responded to the wishes
of the church membership in this, as
we'll as in all other matters, and on
every occasion have acted favorably to-
ward the new building. It will be re.
called that for years the church mem-
Ebership and the pastors have worked
hard to this end, but heretofore, some
difficulty has always interfered, and the
work postponed. The first effort, if we
are not in error, was made more than
18 years ago. Lexington is delighted
with progress made and feels sure the
good work will begin at an early date.

Ladies OF AcOna Pay
Sunday School Debt
To The Men Winners

The women of the Acona Sunday
school entertained the men last Friday
night with a banquet. This was the
result of a contest that was recently
staged between the two classes in which
the men won.
To say the entertainment was first
far better than first class if that is at
all possible. Mrs. Williams, teacher Of
the women's class, appointed the diff
ferent committees about week before
the banquet and those committees went
right to work. Nothing was left undone
to make it a success. The building"
committee constructed two long tables
reaching clear across the school build
ing that accommodated 65 people. Af-
ter the ushers had succeeded in finding
place for everybody thanks was of
fered by Bro. Wasson and those hungry
lions went after it. Who would not have
an appetite when he faced plate con-
tanning boiled ham, chicken salad, pine
apple sandwiches, stuffed eggs, pickle,
crackers, bread and iced tee, with ice
'cftjasn and cake following? Miss Ouida
Booth performed ct the piano very cred
itab1y.
Mrs. Moore made the welcome address
in which she said that the women knew
very we'll how to reach mans heart,
hence the big feed. Mr.. Hester made
the response in his usual pleasant man
ner. Mrs. Williams then called on r..
C. Moore, superintendent Of the school.
for short talk. Among other things
he said that the Acona women were the
best in the world. He said he paid
$40 for one of them and she was worth
every cent of it. Then came Dr.. r. p.
johnson, of Tchuia, who was superin-
tendent of our school for a long time.
He paid glowing tribute to the people
Of Acona. Mrs. Williams then called
for the main speaker of the evening.
Bro. Bennett, of Belzoni. He made a
very inspirational talk and told Of the
great work the Sunday school is do
ing today. Brother Wasson made a
short talk in which he asked the men
about organizing Wesley Brotherhood
class. His plan met with good response.
Miss Carpenter, of Tchula, sang several
selections for US with Miss Tingle at
the piano.
Mrs. Williams showed fighting spirit
BY challenging the men for another con-
test for the month of June. The chal-
lenge was accepted. These women GER
tainlys deserve credit for their stickabil-
ity, having gone down twice in sue
cession. The next contest may turn out
differently.
Everyone went away happy, saying
this was the best thing Acona has seen

Wild HORSES

Roaming Ponies Started On
Death March to Leave
Grass to Cattle.

BIZ United Press
Ell PASO, Texas, Aug. 24,-Wild
Aorses on the plains of the South
west are in a great death march as
a result Of the increase in beef
prices.
Range grass is not plentiful
enough to feed both the cattle
herds and the thousands of unpro-
ductive wild horses that roam the
plains. Ranchers have declared
that the wild horse must die prob
ably in reduction plants.
By curious irony of fate, the
only route by which many of the
doomed animals can be driven to
the plant at Ell Paso, is over the
desoIate 100-mile highway from
Hillsboro, N. NJ, that thirst-tortured
Spaniards three centuries ago
named tornado del Muerto"-the
Journey of Death
For the broomtail ponies and the
wild burros, the barren trail is truly
a journey of death. Water is
scarce on the trail and lockjaw
breaks out in some of the herds.
For the animals who escape death
on the trail, there are the bullets of
the slaughter house executioner.
There have been wild horses in

since animals escaped from the
camps of Cortez and De Soto in the

by man, and in recent years con-

The doom of the wild horse was

of animals from Argentina on ac-
