built before the War Between
the States by Henry 7. Farmer,
grandfather of +. +. Patton, vino

Many Of the houses in and
around Flat Rock were furnished
with pieces made under his dwcc-
ton. and the old Farmer Hotel
had beds. drcsserS, wardrobcS,
grandfather clock, ana tables
constructed for the owner at his
own factory. The dining room
and porchcs had chairs of type
peculiar to Flat Rock. No one has
ever determined their origin, and
their graceful lines and comfort-
?hlc proportions made them pop
ular all through this section.

Some Of the preachers before Rev
Gardner were Rev. Worthington,
Rev. Walls, Rev. Petty, and Rev.
Hissom. In the early 70's Rev.
Wcrthington held a great revival at
Wesley. A few years afterward he
was back on visit and preached
one hot Sunday. AT the close of
the sermon without looking he call
ed upon brother to lead in prayer.
s. E. Bone relates that this brother
was sitting bolt upright in his seat
sound asleep and that Rev. Worth
ington had to call on someone else.
Rev. Walls was Welchman, who
earned money to complete his col
lege education by digging coal.
Rev. Hissom had been a deckhand
on an Ohio steamer. These preach
ers and superintendent served Mt.
Zion at the same time as at Wesley.
Both churches were on the Rural
Dale or Rockville circuit, and each
had a one~fourth interest in the
parsonage located there. I believe
both church organizations before
1850 met in school houses and pri-
vate homes and were connected
with the NJ E. church of McCon-
nelsville, as McKendree was till re-
cent years.
Some Is or more years ago We
had a student preacher from Mus
kingum college who hailed from
New York City. He was visiting
one of the members and in morning
went out where the man was milk
ing. This man had some Jersey
COWS Of which he was rather proud.
The student preacher said to him
"Bro. S., they are surely hOmely
locking brutes" Imagine how the
man felt His son relates the story.
The same story comes from the
Beecher Lawrence neighborhood.
Some never learn the lesson of tact.
Of our student preachers there
is one who is regarded as quite
able. From the list it will be seen
and recalled that quite number
were just student try-outs.-W. G.

"HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS"

Among the younger generation
who might have read the tribute to
the memory Of my departed wife,
some may have wondered why the
people, living in the country, were
not more widely acquainted, and
why neighborho were circum-
scribed to such small areas. A brief
answer would be, they knew no diff
ferent. No one has to be very old
to remember what is today called
Horse and Buggy Days" that pc
riod previous to the advent of the
automobile. However, that period
extended away back to the ox-cart
pioneer days, but reached it's zen
ith near the close of the last cen
tury.
Bicycles became quite popular
during this time. But horses, the
motive power for buggies, being

 NEW YORK, April %. - BobbA Jones will not return to national open golf championship competition in June because home people figure 20 minutes is a long time.
 That may not be the only reason but it's timely one to start on.
 Now here's the situation.
 A suggestion was made that for mer champions be exempted from sectional qualifying rounds.
 This drew the enthusiastic sup port of Chick Evans, title-winner in 1916, while Jones remarked he might play under such circum- stances.
 Jones also "reckoned" the pub lie might like to see the old time aces, even though their chances ot victory were negligible.
 But the US.G.A. replied.
 MT. Jones (and other ex-cham- pions) will have to qualify"
 Exemption List Big Enough
 Its reasons were that the eXemp- ton list (3O low scorers in the pre- vious tournamenD would have tc be increased, thereby re u cin places available to golfers through the land, or the entry limit would have to be increased.
 Evans remarked.
 T think the exempt list and the available qualifying places could be increased. The association owes Il to former champions.

High School
 Coach Submits
 One Proposal

SALEM, Ore, April 28. - Harold Hauk, Salem high school basketball coach, believes he has a way to end the showdown defense system of basketball as well as to end over time periods.
 Hauks idea is to set point limit as the games goal. For example, the first team scoring 50 points in col lege basketball or 40 in high school play, would win.
 He argues this would speed up the game by putting premium on offensive styles and would junk the percentage type of game by which some teams juggle the ball awaiting
