For over a hundred years

of the Richland Methodist
Church has been calling people
to worship for miles around.
In the year Of 1856 the church
was built in the cemetery near
where the monument of Mr..
John Morrow now stands. In
1883 the building was blown
down by a cyclone and the pres
ent church was erected on a
lot donated by DR.. John Tackett.
In 1869, a district confer
ence was held in Richland con-
Quoted by Bishop Keener of
New Orleans. This was the
beginning of the District Con-
ference of the Methodist
Church South. The roster of
the membership from 1856 to
1886 shows the outstanding peo-
pie that were members of the
church at that time: the Nor

Watch For
Children On
Highway

Six youngsters under Is years
of age were killed in state traf-
fic accidents last month.
Of the six, three were ped
estrians and two were bicyclists
Only one victim, a six month
old child, was an occupant of
an automobile.
Public Safety Commissioner
Thomas Shelton pointed out
that with schools out for the
summer vacation, more young
sters will be out riding bicycles,
walking or playing along streets
and highways.
1T is the moral responsibility
Of adults to drive with an extra
margin of care when approach
ing a child riding a bicycle or
playing along a street or high
way" Commissioner Shelton
said.
The Highway Patrol head. the
father of three children. ex-
planned that an extra margin
of care on the part Of the driver
can compensate for the mixtate
of a child.
He also cautioned parents
about permitting children to
play in public roadwayS, and
warned youngsters to stay alert
when crossing streets or high
ways and to look both directions
before attempting to cross.
Bicyclists, like pedestrians,
should travel facing" oncom-
ing traffic and give approaching
vehicles a wide berth.
"Play safe, be %safe.", Com
missioner Shelton cautioned
youngsters.

The Old
South
by Eve L. Burwen

A day in June
What is SO rare as a day in
June. The month of June has
silently slipped in. The Their
mometer keeps jumping and the
beans ripen like mad. Pure
white butterflies fit over the
crimson CannaS, a humming
bird ICONS by my window, and
our Magnolia blossoms are fill
led with golden bees gathering
up their sweet nectar.
The young corn is as pretty
as a flower garden standing tall
and erect, the cotton's growing
real fast, and so is the grass.
Here in the country one would
think. the whole world is sweet
and good as the birds sing a
lazy little tune and the air is
perfumed by the exotic odor of
the shrubs now in bloom all
around us.
MS wonderful to be alive, and
up about our daily chores. Sum-
mer is so brief, and packed with
living. 1 hate to see every day
come to an end, for there is so
much 1 have left undone, so
many things which 1 had PLAN
ned to do. Night time can catch
you quickly when you are work
ing in the garden or flower
yard. Time passes swiftly and
you are not aware of the shades
of night falling around you.
l like to read and reread the
words of David Grayson, who
wrote about labor. He wrote
many tender things to cheer
mankind, won't you share with
me a few short paragraphs"
Happiness loves to see men at
work. She is found not in pal
aces, but lurking in the corn
Ield, the workshop and the
factories. And lowered over a
Uttered desk; and she crowns
the unconscious head of the busy
child"
Happiness must be tricked,
she loves to watch one working
hard with sweat running down

a chance to settle here instead

Closely related to our dig

consequence of our depend
