New pastors coining into the moms to CELEBRATE With prohibition legisla tion disposed of, the business of the legislature moved yester day with a lack of obstruction that amounted at times almost to a lack of interest. The general appropriations bill was passed at the morning session in the record time of less than two hours. It has at times taken as long as ten days to get this bill through the house. The general bill was present ed and adopted by the house in the same form it passed the house at the regular session, and wilf be sent to the senate, which will likely restore the cuts made last summer upon the appropriations to state in- stitutionss.

Two of the finest turnips we have seen this year were rais ed by Mr. Coleman Gramling on his farm near Canton. The turnips weighed four pounds each and came out of a patch containing 50 or NUMBER 47. Don’t Be a Qditter: Keep Fighting Hard All indicatins at this writing go to show that the contest will be one of the closest on record j and the difference between the , winners will be so slight that it is necessary to bear in mind that every subscription counts now. Wouldn’t it be irritating at the finish to find that instead of winning the Ford Automo bile or another prize all be cause you were shy a few sub scriptions. Nevertheless at this period so close are the various contestants that such is actual ly the case. Make assurance double sure. ’Tis better to have a surplus of votes than to be short of one at the wind up. Let your campaign be a whirl wind for the remainder of the time. See as many as you can and don’t let them get away without pay mg the cash, you can’t afford to lose opportuni ties by being forced to make back calls. Even if you have a leading position, don’t b<? too confident. Many a general has been led Into ambush through neglect to keep a look out for the enemy. A good race attracts the a& tention of wide awake business men to the possible merit of the candidates whom they may be able to use in their business to a mutual advantage.

Among other things to be discussed, will be meth ods looking to increased church efficiency, consecration, co-op eration, and perhaps other mat ters necessary to the accom plishment of thp greatest good by the church. It will be the privilege of any member to mention any subject and discuss it as he may feel in his heart to do, and that he belives to be of interest or benefit to the church.
