THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
The County Sunday School Conven-
tion was held in the Baptist church on
last Monday and Tuesday. The attend-
ance from other parts of the county was
very small.
A. Dale, of Polo, president, and Wm.
Rogers, Territorial field worker, were
here throughout the two days’ session
and assisted in making up in quality
what the convention lacked in quantity.
The program as printed last week was
carried out as nearly as could be and al- j
though a number who had been assigned !
topics failed to report substitutes in •••
most cases were pressed into service. j
The Sunday school work of the land 1U
is one of the greatest factors for good in j |||
the world and should receive the earnest
support of all good people.
The election of officers before the ad-
journment of the convention for the next
ensuing year resulted as follows:
All the old officers were re-elected
except that a Mr; Philips was made|
secretary and Mrs. J. W. Oakley, Supt.
Home department, Mrs. M. A. Opdylke
i Supt. Primary department and Mrs. J.
j D. Smith, of Perry, Supt. Hous3 to
j House Canvassing department.
Best Liniment on Earth.
I. M. McHenry, of Greenville, Texas,
writes: “I had rheumatism last winter,
was down in bed six weeks; tried every-
thing, but got no relief, till a fnend

Snow Liniment. I used it and got two
more bottle:. It cured me and I haven’t
felt any rheumatism since. I can re-
commend Snow Liniment to be the best
liniment on earth for rheumatism.” For

making human wrecks ot sufferers from

advent of Dr. King’s New Discovery for

also have good judgment. The reporter
who wrote of the actress mixing oologue

have known that only pure gasoline oan

Newspaperdom tells of a reporter writ-
ing a story about a young lady offering
$5,000 for a baby hippopotamus, which
was refused, but that she was permitted
to fondle it in her arms for an hour. It
never occurred to him that a baby
hippo weighs from 150 to 200 pounds.
