RED CROSS MEETING
FRIDAY. NOV. 29TH
RECORD SURPASSES ANY PRE
VIOUSLY MADE BY THE LOCAL
CHURCH.
With the close of another year, the
local Methodist church show? a record
of progress unsurpassed in its history.
At a recent meeting of the stewards
and other church officials, the busi
ness affairs of the church were wound
up for the year, and a general resume
of the activities of the church was
made. According to the record there
have been fifty accessions to the
church during the twelve month per
icd.
The financial budget for this period
showed more than $4,000 appropriat
ed for the various causes that the
church supports. Considering the
fact that there has been an unprece
dented number of calls foreign to the
church, for money tb support the va
rious projects of war during the past
year this is considered an unusually
good financial showing.
Possibly the most active organiza
tion of the church has been the Wom
an's Missionary Society. Their re
port shows a total of $500 raised for
a’! purposes.’
The pastor, Rev. W. L. Wright has
labored untiringly and with love
among his people and the people of
the town, all of whom unite in the
hope that he will be Tetumed to this
arge to continue his work. ,

To those who have under consider
ation the installation of a light plant
it will no doubt be of interest to know
that the Lalley Lighting Plant won

An additional inducement to probable
purchasers is the fact that this sys
tem has been approved by the United
States government.
These facts alone should clearly
demonstrate to anyone that it is im
possible to make any mistake in pur
chasing a Lalley Lighting Plant.
In purchasing a light plant it is es
sentially important that the system se
lected is one that can be absolutely
relied upon because no system is bet
ter than a poor one.
A demonstration will convince you
that the Lalley Lighting Plant has
many advantages over all others.

FREAK POTATOES
Nature plays peculiar pranks now
and then, the most recent evidence
we have seen of her freakishnesa is a
trio of sweet potatoes brought to this
office by Mr. W. I. Dupree. These po
tatoes are so peculiar in their forma
tion, being twisted, lapped and doub
led and then twisted aome more, that
evep-the sight of them makes one feel
uncanny. According to Mr. Dupree’s
statement they are the product of one
vine. Of course there is no account-
ing for their queer shape. Some oae
who has seen them suggested that a
witch must have passed over, under
or through the hill. Regardless of
the agency or combination of agen
cies that brought the results, these
are the queerest specimens of the
product we have ever seen.
