THE JOHNSON COUNTY FAIR It was pleasure last Thursday to attend the Johnson county (Tenn.) fair. that t ut on its L8th annual exhibition beginning or. Tuesday and lasting lour days. As usual, the exhibit of farm products, livestock, poultry. etc.. etc., was; good while the carnival and other outside attractions, it seemed to us, was bettei than usuai. The crowds in attendance were pretty good alitor Tuesday, rain keeping many at home on thai pay, The .Johnson county '."air is no longer an experiment, it is now a reality and has probably done more ' for the good little county than any enterprise that was ever started I within her borders. erieoUragi??g as | it iroesynr u >"i7fy "g?7fittr degree thcX' raising of the best the farm can j produce, both in livestock and vege- !

Since this fair was started 1S'| years ago. many undertakings of .tfiej j same kiwi have sprang up in Ten-: nessee ar.d sister states only to fail. |' Hut, somehowf the management p?r this fair had the necessary qualifica- , tions tp.make it a real success fi'onyS the start?of course through the j ( heart-*y co-operation of the farmers and business men of that good agri-: , cultural county.

It would be a great move ami-we hope that the hopes^of-those interested may culminate in the greatest fair in any of the contiguous states. Again let us say that Johnson county is to be congratulated upon the success of its 18th annual fair. PREPARE SOIL WELL FOR PRETTY LAWN j Though it is difficult to nave an' j ^l-?h^yeaiTjereAr.- w bb 5the vari-1, ous sections of North Carolina such! a lawn is the foundation and chief beauty of the landscape. "The main reason why there arc! not more good lawn's is because lit-1 tie preparation of the soil is made? when the house has been built,'" > says J. P. Pillsbury. landscape' architect at State College. "'The lawn deserves extended lime and j thorough preparation in its establish-1 merit. When the house is being! built, the topsoil should be saved! and the subsoil broken thoroughly i with plenty of organic matter work- j c-d into it, so that large quantities s of water may be held. At least four; to six inches of good, live topsoilj should be spread over the surface ] to be grassed before any sowing is j made. This takes time and money] but is necessary if satisfactory re-| suits are to be secured." Ih- the mountain section, says Mr. ?i]!?huj-y\ climatic conditions are! perfectly suitable for the usual! grasses and mixtures used in the] north. In preparing the lawn anywhere in. the state, time and care must be ] given and the soil thoroughly prepared at the start.

The exile from ^ Judah must thereioie be viewed in connection with the restoration. At the time of the exile of Jehovalrs j people the prophet Ezekiel is t?> guide his people through this trying epoch in their history, to preach repentance and to encourage drooping v faith. Here he exercised a kind of spiritual pastorate among his followers* and offered needful counsel and. , warning to all who cared to consult hini, --Hi j ' 3*5 _ fctS . *ag ; jQ| The substance of his exhortations j :: . - . .. .... . v' if contained :n the hist division o. -j the book of Ezekiel. chapters 1 to sj 21. 2 and 3. Ezekiel Teaches Personal Accountability to God. and ^ Reveals His Vision of Hope. a Apart from his pastoral work, ac- 1, cording to the latter part of his j p book, Ezekiel devotes himself to the {( task of sketching an ideal communi ty, by keeping up religious services i through which he exercised a powerfill influence upon the thought and p aspirations of his people. The loss y pf the temple services was supplied v by meetings on the banks of rivers *; ar canals, when prayer was offered, and. necessary acts oi ceremonial ^ purification could be offered. In jj course of time fixed forms of prayer came into use. and buildings were j. ?rceted for worship. He did his utluosc to .awaken fir the fnrthful tl?c- j~~ spirit of true penitence, and the j H'!) '" of personal accountability for [_ the misfortunes that had befallen i the nation. Rut he also cheers them !>v promise? of a time when they ^ >haH be restored to their own land ^ vith consciences cleansed and hearts : renewed by the spirit of Jehovah, j ^ vhich promise he base? on his vision j ^ >f a better day for his people, whose j iv el fare he carried in his heart. J ^ In Lesson? 5 and C?. we learn j * much about the character and career of Daniel. See Daniel 1:1-A. 5:17- ^ 28 and <1:1-28. The great mass of Jews now dwelt in nabylon. Thc-iv U?l ? utit have been so unhappy, could they j have forgotten their native land *v with its glorious associations. They j were permitted a considerable ^ amount, of freedom, and some of|^ their comeliest youths were educated 1 antf trained at the king's expense, i Among these were Daniel, with his j companions, Hananiah, Mischael and (t< Azariah, to whom were given the j s1 Chaldean names of Belteschiizzar, j o oiindracUv--J[er.hach end Abednego. \ 4 At the end of their period of train- t< ing, the four young Jews were pre- t seated to the king, who was so pleas- b ed with their attainments that he appointed them to places near his person. We art familiar with the part Daniel played on the stage of j e action. Well may we challenge our- < 1 selves: . St Dare to be Daniel-?Dare to stand t alone, Dare to nave a purpose firm. And dare to make it known. j 1 Now we come to the historic sig-' ~ nificancc of the return, the Rebuild-; jug of God's House, Ezra's Return to' Jerusalem. Lessons 7. S and 9. See Ezra 1:1-6, 3:1 to .6, 7:6-10, 8.21 to 32. j The long captivity so patiently borne by the Jews was now about | to end. Cyrus issued a decree in the' first year of his reign, permitting and encouraging his Jewish captives , to return to the Holy Land. And the joyous caravan set out on its long march from Babylon to Jeru-i salcm. The Holy Land being reached, j the dews settled down in the cities' which they had formerly occcupied., The people now contributed largely \ j from the wealth they had brought: j with them from Babylon toward the : i rebuilding of the temple. In the sec-! ond year of their return they laid j the foundations of the House of ! God, amid the greatest rejoicing, j The prophets Haggai and Zechariah j lived and prophesied unto the Jewsj that were in Judah and Jerusalem' during this time. The. temple wasj not completed, however, until some-! time in the sixth year of the reign i of Darius. The dedication was celebrated j with great joy, numerous sacrifices) -1 .j.-o ciiered diic scrvicss1 of the House of God were regulated 1 according to the law of Moses. Now we come to the closing period o the series of lessons of this quarter: Nehemiah Rebuilding the Wall of Jerusalem.?Nehemiah 4:6, 15:21. Teaching the Law of God.?Nehemiah 8:1-18. Malachi toreteus a New Day.? Malachi 1:1 to 4:6.

Thirte f the most learned men at the sain* imo explained to the people whai as read, probably translating ii ito Chaidaic tongue.
