DIBDOFCABOBR'^^r
Jacob Harrell. who has patient at the Flora hospital for aeveral weeks suffering from cancer, pa**ed away at 4:80 Wednesd.\y . morning. For some time he had been growing weaker, with no posal¬ ble hope of recovery.
The first annual meeting of ihx. Christian churches of Clay county waa held in Rirerside Park, LouU- vllle, last Snnday, and in spite of th^ chilly atmosphere, this ' proved to be the biggest event la the history of the ehurehes of this county.- A crowj. estimated betweetk 1200 and 1500 gathered from all parts of the coun¬ ty, and from other counties also, aod spent the day In fellowship aad tit > worship of Ood.
-' The Louisville church had spent l&ach time in getting the park in taadlBess tor the day. and left noth¬ ing uadone to make their guests com¬ fortable and happy, even puttiitg heavy canvass curtains around thu Speaker's stand and seating space to eheok the driving ' wind. Tbe ladicu had beautifully decorated the build- lng,and made it real homelike and lu- vltljfig. These good people have o ir highest thanks for all this.
Road and weather conditions pt3 vented the meeting from starting oa schedule time, so that the Blbln school part of the program for ;0 o'clock was abandoned.
At 11 Mrs. Ruby Tanner Campbuil took charge of the large chorus chuir. formed of all the churches, and an orchestra composed of mualcians from the various churches, and scon the park resounded with. Go.I'm praiaes. since "Oroves were Ood's tirst temples," they can as well he u*ed today.
C. L. Doty of the Flora church, act¬ ing as chairman, in a few well choten remarks, introduced the speaker oi the day, Bro. C. J. Sharp, of Ham mond, Ind., national secretary of Oroup Evangelism, who preached > very inspiring sermon on the subject: "Some Marks of tbe New Testament Chiirch." Then came the big basket dinner, during which all warmed le to the occasion, and did full justice to the bounteous supply spread upob what had looked like an "almost end¬ less" table, but now too short for the many hundreds of hungry folks to find room around. "Move forward," became the cry at that time, and t^ls might be a good slogan for eac'u church and all members too, in our county work for next year. When tho natural man ,bad feasted and been sat, isfied, time was spent In happy fel¬ lowship with old friends and meeting and making new ones.
About 2:00 o'clock the great com munlon service began. In charge uf the officers of the different church¬ es. This was the most impressive and worshipful hour of the diy. Hundred* remembered their Lord in this, his appointed way. C. J. Sharp then delivered a masterly sermon ua the subject: "Country-wide Co-Oi>- eration," which told the why au 1 how of the work. This was very beneficial in view of the fact that this was our first effort of this kind. Too much cannot^be said in praise of the many ways we have been helped by Bro. Sharp's sermons and counsel.
The following were elected coun ty officers for the coming year until our next meeting: C. L. Doty, pres.; Elbert Ikemlre. vice pros.; Rex Dale, sec: U. S. Kincald, treas.: Mrs. Ko., Bryant, pianist; Mrs. Ruby Tannur Campbell, chorister. 'Xbe next meet¬ ing wiU be held at the same platt, during the montb of August next year.
Bro. Sharp conducted tbe closing service Sunday night In the Flora church and showed many pictures ot Oroup Bvangellsm and county work being done In other places. He is a very pleasing speaker, thorougiil/ conversant with his subject, and to say that his visit here at this tima was enjoyed and appreciated. Is t-i put it mildly.
We shall all look forward to oui next meeting with a much more Joy¬ ous anticipation even than we did this one, since we now know what a great treat is in store for us.

Cully's southern Illinois champions began the 1924 football season witb a 11—0 victory over Lawrenceville.
All doubts as to whether H. S. T. H. 3. was to have a good football team wero cast aside when the 1924 teom Journeyed to Lawrencevlile last Sat¬ urday and gave the Lawrence county boys the short end ot a 21—0 score.
A large number of loyal fans ac- i-ompanied the team and gave their anpport from sUrt to finish. Th° rooters did not know jnst how good our team was, but they wore confldunt tba$ with Cally's coaching, they would give a good account of thein- selves.
Lawrenceville won the toss and eleeted to receive, but soon found that they could not break through for consistent gains and were forded to kick. Flora proceeded to carry th.t ball over for an early touchdown without much difficulty. With tht? first touchdown mfide, tbe Flora fan9 had little doubt as to the outcome and began to ask- Flora to hold them scoreless. Tbe half ended 19-0.
During the Intermission and while Cully was busy explaining our mis¬ takes, the students from H. S. T. H. S. staged a snake dance on the field
The second half found the Flon team contented with two additional touchdowns. During this half sub¬ stitutions were made by both sides. lAwrenceviile made first downs via the forward pass route, but never seriously threatened the Flora goal line.
It would be hard to say who starred for Flora, sinee ail men played a pretty good game for toe opener. Especially was this true of the new men. We expect, however, to see a great Improvemnt in the team'« play in the next game.
Carmi comes here Saturday, Octo¬ ber 4. Carmi has always been a real opponent. Remember the scores the past two years here. Two years ago they held us to 7—0. Last year at Carml we had to be satisfied with n 10—0 victory. With the exception of Mt. Carmel. they held us to the low¬ est score. Flora fans should turn out in large numbers and give the cham¬ pions championship support.
