Nevertheless the iccasion produced the purpose in- nded that of reaching deep into he pocket books and bringing forth he scads to be applied on the ompletion of the community juitning being erected by the .Vomen’s Garden Club. Mrs. H. H. was successful winner of the lectric lawn mower. There were nany winners to lovely cakes sold, ach bringing fabulous amounts. Mrs. L. R.

The ‘ group of joyful singers and mu- j sicians was chaperoned by Super- ntendent John S. .Herndon, Mrs. I Herndon and their valuable aids in ; the most splendid management of the institution in the persons of Mrs. Jeanette Oiiphant and Mrs. Hamp Riley.

OF ALL MEN we know, Dr. Lewis Beason, who is in the prime of life, enjoying the best of medi cal profession as w-ell as that of health, of high rating in the ranks of Masonry and as May or of his home city, a friend to and of every living soul of his ac- j quaintance, would be the very last man to even consider the placing, as charged to him yesterday, of an | order for “the little narrow house” in which to place his priceless i frame after a call from his Mas ter whom he serves devotedly while passing along the journey of life. The cedar from which this “narrow house” is to be built comes not from Lebanon, but as a part of the doctor’s own property. WE KNOW ALL county officials are supposed to be courteous and accommodating and do good deeds any way. In each of these respects Taylor county is most fortunate as relates to all of its offices not dur ing or even approaching election years, these virtues are in their whole make-up all the while, and most people think they don’t de serve any special thanks. But while we are handing out boquets, we just can’t let the opportunity pass to hand a large one to Hon. Thelmon Jarrell, our efficient kClerk of Court. He does so much * f °r people that is far beyond the call of duty, as well as his activi ties in religious matters and civic interests for the betterment of his community and progress in things worth while, that we just don’t see how’ he gets around to it all and-then see to the records of his office being so well kept and the office itself so neat and inviting even to strangers, but Thelmon (Page 4; No. 1) Thursday, May 26, Piano Recital Operetta, 8:30 p. m.

Found working conditions far beyond expectations, very clean, neat and attractive, machinery’ and employes working quietly and in high gear. “Uncle Joe” Blake and his good wife, “Miss Louise,” manager and time-keeper, respectively, most courteous and accommodating to both employes and visitors. With orders already booked for six moths ahead, “Uncle Joe” told us that beginning today the plant would operate on double shift of eight hours each and with the in stallation in about six weeks of other machines as now in opera tion, three loopers, a complete dyeing plant and finishing equip ment the number of employes would be increased from 18 as at present to 150 with an increased out-put to one hundred dozen pairs of finished and dyed pairs of hose per day.

More Fish For Taylor County Ponds Five thousand large mouth bass were delivered to farmers of Taylor county by Soil Conservation Tech nicians for stocking then" farm fish ponds. These fisn were furn ished by the U. S. Wildlife and Fish Service to farmers cooperating with the Soil Conservation District. Farmers receiving fish were: E. A. Hollis, G. D. Locke, C. E. What ley, J. A. Payne, R. L. Swearingen, Geo. Trussell, A. J. Payne, W. A. Payne, J. R. Wilson, Mrs. J. H. Whatley, B. F. Moore, W. E. Street- man.* These farmers’ ponds have been previously stocked with Blue Gill Bream last fall and this addi tion of Bass will complete the stocking of their ponds. Fish pond experiments show' that a properly stocked and fertilized fish pond will support 400 to 600 pounds of fish per acre. If the above ponds are properly managed they should produce as well as countless hours of enjoyment, hundreds of pounds of fish for food. Irrigation Demonstration Planned for 2 P. M.

BuHer Needs New High School Building To the Citizens of Taylor County: Don’t you think we should have a new High School building? I will give you a few reasons why I think we should have one. 1. The basement is full of water is raising insects. It doesn’t do any good to pump it out because when it rains it fills right back up. 2. The 'outside brick are full of holes and sparrows build nests in them, causing fire dangers. 3., We need new window sashes all the way around. Every time a breeze comes they rattle like seeds. 4. It would not hurt to have a new top on the building. 5. If the plastering is touched it will fall. It may fall on someone sometime. What if it was YOUR child it fell upon? 6. The black boards are cracked and worn out. 7. The floor is falling in, in some of the rooms and it is weak in others. 8. We need new desks. When you sit down in them they squeak and annoy other students.* Don’t you think that after all these things are repaired that we would come out cheaper just to erect a new building? You have a special invitation to come down and see the school building any time you wish to. —A High School Boy. Dr. F. S. Porter of Columbus^. Will Assist with Preaching During Revival. Announcement was made yester day by the pastor, Rev. W. R Hoats. of opproaching series of services at the Reynolds Baptist, church in which interest is already being manifested. The city of Reynolds in particu lar and the county as a whoie have been highly favored by the acceptance of an appeal to Dr. Frederick S. Porter, former pastor of the First Baptist church, Colum bus, to do the preaching during the revival; also in the securing oL Dr. Rich, professor of music, Mer cer University, in charge of musi cal programs. Monday, June 13th, has been, set as the" beginning date, of the meeting and to continue through the following Sunday.

Worship at Union-Wesley Churches Next Sunday Wesley: Worship 10:15 a. m. and 8 p. m. Sunday School following morning worship with Mr. Addis Scott, superintendent. Union: Sunday School 1:45 a. m. Mr. H. G. McCants, Superintendent. Worship, 11:45 a. m. Sunday is Rural Life Sunday. The most of the business, educa tional, executive, political and spiritual leaders are reared in our rural and small town localities: Does not this behoove us to give of our best, our all, that the best possible preparation might be given them for building great and honest characters for such im portant places they are to fill? No character is well rounded and ful ly developed, that neglects the spiritual growth and learning along with the physical and mental. Let us give due emphasis to the Lord’s cause on this His holy day. J. W. M. STIPE, Pastor.
