He pointed out the necessity for conservation in this as well as other sections and listed several ways in which we might help to carry out an efficient conservation program. Mr. Ray recalled ttyed&yswhen people thought our forests, rich soil and other natural resources were inhaustible and compared that era with the present time when such ,valuable resources are sorely depleted.

Was John's Creek church in this county the first of the ? Methodist denomination to un^ ite? That interesting question was raised the other day by E. S. Green of Caney Fork. The three principal branches of Methodism in the United States have united in one church, and Mr. Green believes that John's Creek began the movement, back in 1914. On September 16,1914, a group of citizens of Caney Fork township, members of the Southern and Northern Methodist churches, met and organized for the purpose of "commencing the ; erection of a church house at John's Creek, to be owned and controlled by the two branches t of the Methodist church, as they do now or may in the future exist at that place." At the meeting were Rev. T. H. Stamey, Northern Methodist minister, W. A. Brown, R. A. Nicholson, R. N. Nicholson, J. S. Prince, J. W. Swayngim, W. J. Nicholson, L. P. Duncan, G. W. Nicholson, and R. S. Green. A building committee composed oJ T. H. Stamey, chairman, R. S. Green, treasurer, and R. A. N holson, C. B. Zachary, J. W. Sv ayngim, and R. N. Henson, was ^pointed. A deed to the Sout1 irn and Northern Methodist ihurches as joint owners, or te ints in common, was made by A . Green, for a site upon whia to erect the building, and *?? !?> kxllfKnt* n aKiiwOi UiC A VIA. UJl UUUUU15 h uuiuwi house was begun. Many citizens of the community contributed money and work, or both. Mr. Green kept an itemized account of all money received and work contributed, and of expenditures. He still has the little book in which the accounts were kept. Ten cents an hour wage was allowed every person who contributed work to the building; and the total cost of th* structure was $1557.53, in money and work. The building was completed in June, 1915, and was dedicated soon thereafter. It was used by the two Methodist churches as a common place of worship, until the unification of the three branches of Methodism in the United States, recently cinmunmated, merged them into one; and now is used by the united Methodists at John's Creek. Boys Win First Amateur Honors Two small boys, Perry and Kenneth Rhodes, won the $15 first prize at the amateur night, staged Friday evening at the Sylva school, by the Lion's.Club. A large crowd of people witnessed the performance, and entries were made from nearly every community in the county. The proceeds go to the work with the blind in this county. Maggie DiUardiand Tom Mai* lonee won second place with a character impersonation and song. The Wood sisters took third place. The Four Lost Chords i were awarded fourth honors, fend Jean Barrett, Golden Key Quartet, Peggy Ramsey, Pressley Quartet, and Jones and Higdon were given the $1.00 nriwuL r?^ * .
