The new light fixtures and new

greatly to the attraetivenss of the

worship the more condusive will
it be to real worship. The most

Sensing the need of a revival of ac

to accomplish this, the public must
be made to realize the return of pros
perity, it is planned that this event
be something In the nature of a fes
tival occasion as well as educational.
Plans are now about completed and lt t t d which we

All parades will be held in the early

The main factor which made
the Rutherford county creamery a
success is the quality of its Mag
nolia butter, which won 14 prizes
in the last two years. Only cream
of the finest quality is accptedand
every can of cream is inspeected
before it is emptied. The manu
facturing end of the business is in
the hands of a Hollander with ex
perience in many countries.

creamery at the State Fair at

2. The keeping of milk cows,
hogs and poultry enriches the soil
through the medium of carefully
kept manure, and this again in
creases the yield of hay, forage
and grain crops. And the farmer
again saves by raising these crops
for feeding purpose instead of pur
chasing them.
3. Many farmers are already
keeping pure-bred Jersy cows
and buyers are looking to Ruther
ford and Davison counties for their
foundation stock for dairies.
4. Mixed farming, as a result
of dairying, is coming in, leaving,
the cotton crop, with its unstable
price, as only a side line.

another boy killed 909 in two weeks.
It is estimated that the rats averaged
about a half pound each, making a-
