She told also of work among the mothers of babies whose names are found recorded on the “cradle roll.” showing that these mothers will con tribute liberally to the mite box fund of their babies. Miss Wiley then conducted an “open conference” on mission work among children, and in this conference many of the women took part. During this exchange of views a number of helpful suggestions were secured. Miss Edith Morton, who is connect ed with the educational work, recently begun at Porter, told in an interesting manner of the work at that place. She spoke hopefully and said that large possihilities rest in the work there, waiting for development. Miss Eva Rupert spoke also of the work at Porter, and told especially of a missionary gathering which she and other teachers from the Albe marle Normal and Industrial Institute had attended there. Miss Anderson spoke of the help fulness of the young people's mission ary conference to be held In Asheville. June 30.—July 9. and told of several features of the conference the year when she attended it. She said that the church of which she is a member sends two delegates to the conference each year and considers the money spent in this way, a good Investment. Miss Margaret Rankin also com mended highly the missionary confer ence and suggested that the union send two delegates to the conference to be held at Asheville or to the conference to be held at Montreal a few weeks later. She stated also that she had received ten dollars toward the ex pense uf each delegate to be apix)inted. SJie then made a motion that Miss Kate Hope Robinson of Charlotte, and Miss Emma Dunn, of Paw Creek, be appointed as, delegates from the union and this motion carried.

Among the sugges tions she made she recommended that' the officers of the union nor be chang ed too freauently, and said that an officer of experience and interest was of great value to the work and had much to do with its advancement. She emphasized also the Importance of thoroughly organized missionary bands among the boys of the church es, and recommended the appointment of a superintendent to look after this special work. She showed that much of this work can be accomplished through the Covenanter Bands. There are 1,200 women in the Fay etteville Presbytery who are members of the union and last year they con tribute six thousand dollars to home and foreign missions. The appointment of a superintendent of wc^*k among boys was approved by this union and the apjKJintment was left in the hands of the executive com mittee. The report of the'standing commit tees were submitted and approved and the other unfinished business w'as con sidered, which completed the work of the union for this meeting. Mrs. Irwin presided during the after noon session and after the completion of the business she presented Mrs. W. A. Cleveland, the newly elected presi dent to the union. Mrs. Cleveland stat ed that this honor had come to her as a complete surprise and that what she should be able to accomplish would not be in her own strength, but in that of Jesus Christ and with the help of her associates.

Putting his running story into print, it reads like this: “Brother Cook and myself left Little Rock, Ark., the second day of the re union with my nephew’, T. O. Graham, for his home at Tahlequah, Okla'. Had a jolly good time in Little Rock. “But in leaving Little Rock we hap pened to get on the slow train through Arkansas an dwere 14 hours going a distance of about 150 miles to Ft. Smith, Ark., w^here we got breakfast and dinner, both together. After en joying our meal we changed engines and moved out for our next change, which was Ft. Gibson, O-kla., where' we had a wait of tw'o hours on a Frisco train to complete our journey. But while waiting we met with Rev. Harry W'. Miller, pastor of the First Presby terian church, of Ft. Gibson, and I •want to say that he was one of the nicest men I ever met. He hired a double rig: and showed us everytl^faig of interest, such as the old garrison building, a school house where Jeffer son Davis taught school before the war and the old home of Zacharay Taylor, where Jeff Davis got his wife. “The next sight to me was the Ar kansas river bottoms. We saw' 700 acres of pastures in one field and corn something like knee-high just as far as our eyes would let us see. "After viewing this fine bottom a. short while, we had to hurry to catch our train to complete our trip. W’^e went over a branch line of the Frisco from Ft. Gibson to our destination. “This train w'as a little faster than the Iron Mountain or the slow train through Arkansas, as I have named it before, but the road ' was the crookedest road I ever saw. You could stand oa rear coach and at times could almost hand the engin eer a chew of tobacco. » “But regardless of the crooked road we passed through some of the finest country from Ft. Gibson to Tah lequah as I ever saw. “We arrived in Tahlequah Thursday evening at 7 o’clock. Had a good night’s rest and were ready, bright and early, Friday morning for driving. T. O. Graham and R. O. Kirkpatrick, w’ith two good horses and buggies, kept us out until noon showing ub over the country. After noon we went to a gun fcluband shot 25 times, but the Indian boys were so far ahead of my shooting I will not mention what luck I had in breaking pigeons. It rained' all day Saturday up until the middle! of the afternoon. The sun came out! then. G. W. Reid, an old Tar ^e^Il friend, took us fop a drive. We took’ ^ spin in a different direction and ran across a Jack rabbit. So I planned a trip to catch him Monday morning. We went to church Sunday morning and heard a fine sermon. After we had dinner we lit out for Illinois river on the west side of the river. #We stood on a bluff 200 feet high and look ed over in a bottom of thousands of acres of fine land. “This was a clear mountain stream. You could see fish swimming, and if it hadn’t been Sunday I suspect I would have been there yet killing fish. “WeU, I went back Monday morning to w'here I saw the Jack rabbit, on Sat urday evening and took five dogs and wasn’t out long until we jumped him and had a fine race for one-half hour. The dogs picked him up. I got his ears and left foot.” Boaid aj Aldermen Finishes Revisal Sixteen of the twenty-one members of th« board of aJdermen convened last night to resume the work of re vising the city's revenue schedule. The most interesting discussion arose from the consideration of the consideration of the section relating to social clubs. The motion was made by Alderman Matthews moved to amend the report of the special committee that a tax of $1,000 be put upon those clubs maintaining less than 100 individ ual lockers and $500 upon those 100 or more lockers of this discription, the remainder of the section to be left as it reads at present. The committee recommended that no changes be made and that the annual license of $2 a locker, in proportion to the number of lockers maintained, be left unchang ed. This recommendation was ‘warmly discussed, and w^hen voted on, resulted in a tie. Mayor Bland broke the tie by voting in favor of the committee’s recommendation. All the other sections relating to the organization and maintenance of social clubs w^ere left unchaiJged. The board voted for the recommen dation of the committee that a straight license tax of $100 be placed upon all persons, firms or corporations op erating motion picture shows, or vau deville or illustrated songs and musical attractions such as is common in the ordinary theatres for popular prices. Heretofore the anual tax has been $75 for these places charging only five cents admission. The license tax of $500 on g.11 steam railroads was removed as ,was also that of $25 on wood yards and wood dealers. The tax on venders of fruits, eggs, fowls, etc., was also removed. The tax on electric lines three miles or less in length was made $500, which relieves any company maintaining a short line from the regular tax of $25.00. The board recommended and re versed its action of Thursday night in regard to billiard tables, pool, etc, w'hich are maintained for rent or hire or personal profit of all kinds. The license w^as put back to $$25 from $50. The motion of Alderman E. S. Wil liams to put newspapers on the free list, on the ground that they were a great asset to the city in advertising it, in keeping the public informed on vital topics and in many other w'ays, w'as lost by a vote of 9 to 7. The board will meet again Mondady night, at which time a hearing will be given those who wish to render pro test against any of the rulings of the board in revising the schedule.
