A large crowd attended the ser
vice at Midway the Ist Sunday in
May. Dr. Morris preached in the
morning and afternoon. He gave
some very interesting statistics on
the Home Mission work of the Pres
byterian church. He is secretary of
the Home Mission Board. It was a
home coming day and many came
back to meet their friends and rel
atives.
All manner of insects are putting
in their appearance and feeding up
on the young plants. No doubt their
fnumerous appearances is due to the
‘mild winter.
Farmers invariably get in a hurr}
and plant without the necessary
m't‘-pvration. Two breakings and two
harrowings puts the land in much
better condition, insures a Dbetter
stand, makes easier cultivation and
increases the yield. Don’t stop at
one plowing half done.
Light showers fell here last week
that helped to bring up a stand of
cotton and corn.

teel that through his earnest pray

on new life and will be a great pow

Let every one that heard him Satur
