Paul's advice is to cultivate Chris
tian sympathy in feeling and courtesy
in speech, which is the motto of the
Missionary Society of Bethesda Bap-
tist Church. Following this policy we
feel that it is our indispensable duty to
appeal to all co-workers for their
hearty spiritual, and moral support in
making all our Missionary efforts a
a success. The activities of the Mis-
sionary society for the last quarter
have been interesting, helpful, and in
spring and we hope in the future the
good work will be continued, after a
splendid and joyful session the meeting

1ET4EsDA CHURCH NOTES

The Mission Circle OF Bethesda Bap-
tist Church was called to order by the
President, Mrs. w. E. K. Wadlington,
at 2:3O p. m, Friday June 28, at the
home of Mrs. Minnie M. Wright, 1905
9TH street Sc, Rev. A. F. Boyd, acting
recording secretary. After an inspiring
hymn led by tn president, Mrs. Pin
ky Neal offered very fervent prayer
for the guidance of the Holy Spirit
during the business session of the
meeting, after which we enjoyed an in
teresting and an inspiring study hour
in which all shared.
The unfinished business before the
Missionary Society, brought forward
from the last meeting by the State
Chairman of Home Missions, Mrs.
Rhoda Renfroe, 1909 9TH ST. Sc,
which concerns each President of their
Missionary Societies in their respective
Churches, ways and Means" to raise
money to meet their quota by July
31st 1910. 1t was suggested by Mrs.
Pinky Neal that an Ice-Cream Social
be given in the very near future, that
is, when an open date that's suitable for
the Missionary societies and their re-
spective Presidents to cooperate. The
suggestion by Mrs. Neal was unani-
mously concurred by all the members
present. In fact, the spirit OF the Mis-
sionary Society of Bethesda Baptist
Church, is carried on, and forward, in
the spirit of The Church Covenant
which say, Having been led, as we
believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive
the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour
and on the profession of our faith, hav-
ing been baptized in the name of the
Father and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, we do now in the presence
of God, angels, and this assembly, most
solemn1y and joyfully enter into cove
nant with one another, as one body in
Christ We engage, therefore, by the
aid of the Holy Ghost, as it is our GUS
tom in our Missionary Society. First,
to walk together in Christian fellow
ship; Second, to strive for the advance
ment of this Church, and in all its
Christian activities in knowledge, holi-
ness, and comforts, and to promote
their prosperity, and most especially
their spiritualities; and, to sustain
their worship ordinances, disciolines
and doctrines, and to contribute, when
we are able to do so; most cheerfully,
The Lord hast prospered US, regular
ly to the support of the Ministry, and
to all other auxiliaries and expenses of
the Church and for the relief of the
poor, and for the spread of the gospel
to all nations throughout the world.
To maintain family altars and secret
devotion, and religiously educate our
children and strive for the salvation of
our neighbors and our neighbors' chill
dren, our kindred, and acquaintance,
by daily endevoring to walk circum-
spectively before them, and before the
world, and to be just in our dealings

ers who are not only unqualified to fill
their positions, but also block the ef-
forts of those who are qualified and
quite capable of coming to the front to
fight for our civil rights.
!, 1t is time that our group awaken to
the fact that each and every day we are
slowly but surely being pushed aside
to make way for those of other races,
who before now have scorned anything
but the higher types of labor. Some of
us will probably sigh and give up in
despair, which is the worst thing that
could possibly happen under the cir
cumstances.
We, who are true Americans, de-
mand the right to live decently and
work honestly in the trades, profes-
sions and business that we've been
taught through the ages. To get those
demands fulfilled we must support to
the fullest extent the men of our race
who have worked among us, know our
every problem, are worthy of our trust
and confidence, and will fight for our
right to live and work as true Ameri-
can citizen.
An example of an alien race replac-
ing the Negro, is the Curtis hotel situ-
alton. They are trying to- replace the
Negro help with PHILIPPINES. That not
only would put our men out of work
who have families to support and who
have been giving this establishment ex-
cellent service for years, but other
places of business would eventually
follow suit, leaving the Negroes, who
have contributed to the making of Min
neapolis city, (even though a minor
ity group) in a critical condition.
On united front the battle is won.
Think and act now before it is too late.

ed at him, breaking the leg in
two places below the knee. The
injured man was taken to Dante

SATURDAY GAME LOST
TO JENKINS IN HARD GAME
Grundy Game ON Sunday Called
Because of Rain; To Be Played
at Later Date

An improved Clintwood lineup
with J. G. Smith, stellar Hiawas-
see college hurler, on the mound
made creditable showing on the
local diamond last Saturday
against Jenkins until the visitors
staged a blitzkreig in the ninth
and pushed across five runs. The
final score was 9 to 2. The game
with Grundy on Sunday at the
Buchanan County seat was rained
out before game time. This game
will be played as a part of dou-
BILE header at later date.
In spite Of the fact that the To-
Gals have yet to win game, an
improved lineup takes the field
each time with the Exception Of
about two positions. Squeekie
Hughes bolstered the infield de-
Tense by taking over the short
stop position with Ted Hall being
shifted to second. Tommy Ro-
mans is playing a good game al
third in the absence of Paul
Skeen and Carl Reedy, who are
out with injuries. Howard Deel in
left field makes hard catches look
easy, and J. c. Smith should win
at least one game week if the
locals can manage to find the for
mula for extra base hits. In the
game here last Saturday the To-
Gals secured 8 safeties but not
one hit for extra bases.
Smith led the Clintwood hit
ting attack agains Brush, Jenkins
pitcher, with single and double.
Earl Webb, former big league
star, aided by Pettus, Russell and
others garnered IL. hits off the
offerings of Smith. Ten of these
hits came after the fourth inning.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS
AGAIN LAST SATURDAY
Election of Teachers Finished At
Meeting; rs Placed ON Waiting
List.

At the meeting on last Saturday
the School Board of Dickinson
County gave further study of
transportation for the coming
school year. Although no contracts
were awarded, a general basis of
agreement between bus contrac-
tors and the school board was
established. Some bus contractors
asked for three year contracts
while others were reluctant. Two
board members, c. C. Jackson
and Leonard Sykes, were opposed
to contracts of more than a years
duration.
All bus contractors brought
their buses to Clintwood for in
spection by the board and mech
anics. Ersel Edwards, it is report
ed, will buy new all-steel body
bus. Martin Edwards who had the
misfortune to lose his bus by fire
few days before the closing of
school. will buy the bus now own
ed by Ersel Edwards. With this
purchase by Mr.. Edwards there
will be four steel buses in the
county. The others are owned by
Terry Mullins. Jr., Merida Boggs,
and r. L. Wright.

c. ]. MULLINS DIES
IN ABINGDON HOSPITAL

Double Pneumonia. Causes Death
Wednesday evening; Funeral to
Be Held Friday.
Charles Jonah Mullins, aged SO,
died at the Johnson Memorial
Clinic in Abingdon on Wednesday
of this week after a lingering i'll
ness of more than six months. In
the best of health throughout his
life, the deceased was stricken by
appendicitis on last October 18th
while attending the Mullins reun.
ion in Clintwood. He underwent
an emergency operation the fol-
lowing day, and for many days
his recovery was doubtful. How
ever, some improvement was not
ed, and after many weeks he was
taken home, but his condition
never improved in spite of ex-
pert medical attention from local
and visiting physicians. His con-
dition became more serious last
week, resulting in his transfer to
the hospital at Abingdon. A Sec
ond operation disclosed an OBJ
struction in his intestines and par
alysis of the small intestines.
Blood transfusions were resorted
to daily, but late Tuesday he fell
victim to double pneumonia and
succumbed about 3 o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon.
The deceased took an active in
terest in all town and county civ
ic progress. He served several
terms as mayor of Clintwood and
gave to Clintwood one of its first
moving picture theatres during
the days of silent films. He pro-
NOTED the first electric light sys-
tenn in this section of the state by
building then modern and up
to-date electric light system for
the town of ClintWood. This serv-
ed as the basis for the system
now in operation in this county.
He took the lead in building the
first town water system and was
instrumental in forming the first
fair association in Dickinson
County. He remained active in
the fair association work through
out his life, serving many years
as its president or secretary. Mr..
Mullins was a lifelong Republic
can and took an active interest in
political affairs and served as
county chairman for many years.
He served as postmaster at Clint
wood for about five years.
He is survived by his widow,
Eliza Hughes Mullins, and the fol
lowing children: Mrs. Erdman
Counts, Mrs. Eva Remines, Mrs.
Troy Large and Delbert Mullins,

An interesting sequel in the mat
ter of dog ordinances and sheep
killing is reported from the San
dy Ridge section of Dickinson,
next to the Wise line.
There two farmers successfully
titled their broad acres. And they
raised sheep, sometimes at good
profit, until CANNES started wreak
ing havoc upon their flocks at
night.
They suspected dogs in the
neighborhood, and perhaps neigh
bors were frequently irked when
their dogs were thus accused
when they had the best of rea-
sons for believing that their dogs
were at home when the crimes
were committed.
The two farmers heard that
they had passed a sure-fire dog
ordinance in Wise county that
was keeping all dogs safely con-
1lned, and, naturally, they thought
why can't Dickinson pass such a
laW?" /
49, 4!
Accordingly, they joined with
national forestry officials in urg-
ing the board of supervisors OF
this county to pass an ordinance
similar to the one that was keep
ing dogs out of devilment in Wise.
Their efforts were crowned with
success at the last board meeting,
and the farmers returned home
in high good humor, believing
that their worries as to sheep kill
ing dogs were at an end.
But somehow the thing just did
not work out as expected, for
soCn after one of the farmers
found number of sheep slain,
and not far away he discovered
two dogs leaving the scene, cover
ed with blood. Investigation soon
disclosed the fact that the two
dogs were owned by man liv-
ing far down Toms Creek in Wise
county. And, now the whole thing
was out, witnesses a-plenty came
forward to detail that they re-
membered either preceding or fol
lowing all previous raids upon
sheep that they had noticed the
same two dogs from Wise county
either entering or leaving the
neighborhood.
The harrassed farmers are seek
ing action against the dogs in
Wise county.
