posters and the halls were really
decorated.
All of the posters were so clever
and orlginanl. In order to vote we I
had to register, so the registration
books were opened March 14, IS,
and 17 in the auditorium from 90O.
3:00. On the leth in assembly the
campaign managers made their
speeches and introduced their
candidates. Everyone enjoyed this
and as they all were so good it was
hard to decide who to vote for!!
Finally the "big day" rolled around.
Yes. on Monday, March 20 at
9:00 voting began and continued
through 1:15. After the polls clos
ed the suspense was really great
wondering when they would an
nounce the winners and who they
would be. Well, at last we heard,
but only one. Rose Ann Duckett de
feated Joan Fincher for treasurer,
but since there were six running
for vice - president and four for
secretary all but two seeking each
office had to be eliminated. So we
liad to vote again Wednesday be
tween David Kirkpatrick and Jerry
Alexander for vice-president and
between Tatsy Ruth Clark and
Carolyn Lime for secretary. Finally
Wednesday afternoon March 2 2
we found out that the new vice
president is David Kirkpatrick and
the new secretary is Patsy Ruth
Clark.
AH of the campaign managers
and candidates did a good job.
They were: for vice-president

Ernest Edwards, commander of

veterans for the loan of the Jap

other trophies they collected from
the battUnelds of Europe and the
Pacific. Fach will be labelled with
the owners' name and returned af
ter the exhibit ends.

Will Be Dedicated
Sunday Morning
Every availible space was taken
last Sunday morning in the Spring
Hill Baptist church as 300 persons
jammed the building for the last
service in the old building. Next
Sunday services will be held in
the new building for the first time.
The Spring Hill church has en
joyed a remarkable growth since
its founding 42 years ago. In May
1908 a little group met i,n the old
school and organized a Baptist
church. At the time ten members
brought their letters from the old
Locust Field chruch. Several oth
ers brought theirs soon thereafter
and were counted as charter members.
Some of the early leaders were:
J. Williams, J. M. Henson. Gas
ton Stamey, Mrs. Columbus Hen
son, R. R. Mehaffey, Mrs. Alice
Sellars, and "Aunt" Lou Grogan.
All of whom are still living, except
S. J. Williams. ,
The Rev. J. M. Ilaynos was
elected as pastor. To Mr. liayncs
must go a great deal of credit for
the success of the new church.
Locked out of the school, the
little group met In the open under
a large oak tree or if weather was
bad, they met In the homes in the
community. They at once began
to make plans to build a church,
Having little money, they went to
the woods and cut logs, split boards i dedicated Sunday
and did most of the carpentry started last April
move i:no it for services. That
building has served the congrega
tion until the present.
. The new church faced many
problems. Having little money
since the men were all farmers,
they were unable to pay their pas
tor very much, records show that
the first offering to missions am-
jo jsaii ur 'sjuaa ce oj pajuno
ferlng to the orphanage totaled 15
rents, and that the pastor at one
time received 14 cents for his salary.
From these .humble beginnings
came the present progressive
church of today, with a resident
membership of approximately 300.
A Sunday School enrollment of
305, and an average attendance of
250. It also has a well graded active
Training Union with a membership
of 108 and an average attendance
of 125. The ladies have an active
W. M. U.
The budget today is belter than
$5,000.
Some pastors who have led the
church in its progress are: Rev.
B. N. Rotters, Rev. O. F. Burnelte,
Rev. H. P. Hicks. Rev. P, C. Hicks.
Rev. A. T. Medford, Rev. Howard

There is no student featured today, because today's space was
allotted to a student from rm.!on High school. Unfortunately, the
Canton school administration has not provided us with the names of
any of their many outstanding students.
Officials of the school yesterday assured The Mountaineer that
they would name some outstanding students Immediately for this fea
ture."
This feature was started as a means of giving recognition to stu
dents of the high schools of the county, as selected by the faculty of
the various schools.
The Mountaineer paid all expenses involved, such av pictures, .
engravings and the writing of the sketches of each student. No school,
nor faculty was obligated to any more than just providing this news
paper with the names of students deserving of the public honors.
This is not a commercialized featured is published strictly on
its merits, and in an effort to encourage students to become better
scholars. We regret that all schools have not participated. ...
To those who have, we sincerely thank you, and shall continue
to carry on a program which we firmly believe Is for the best Interest
of education and our students.'

few weeks ago with the opening of

a grand place and the floor is just

of the fun is a fall now and then
