Phillips and O. P. Bush commit tee on program for next meeting. Vote of thanks to the members of the Mt. Gilead church for their hospitable entertainment. Ordered that proceedings of this meeting be furnished the Russell Creek Baptist and the Adair County News for publica tion. Mt. Gilead church is situated on historic grounds. It was there that the "Long Hunters" estab lished their camp in July,. 1770. This party was headed by Col. James Knox, (see Allen's history of Kentucky, page 144.) Here they built a house which they filled with the skins of the ani mals they killed. These became ruined and from it the- name of the branch as ' 'Skinhouse ranch." Mt. Gilead Baptist church was garthered in 1801 by Rev. Elijah Summers. It united with the Green River Association in that year. In 1802 it reported 37 baptisms and a membership of 86. It was the largest of the eleven churches that went in to organize the Russell Creek Association when it was organized in Sept. 1804,- and is one of the fourth of said original churches that is still in the bounds of the Russell Creek Association. Rev. -Elijah Summers was the pastor from the organization of the church until 1805 when Rev. Isaac Hod gen, one. of the members, was ordained and called to its pastor which he filled with extraordi nary success and ability from that time until his death. (For life of Rey. Isaac Hodgen see Allen's history of Kentucky, page 378.) Mt. Gilead church was the first to call the Rev. Henry Mc Donald to its pastorate. No greater preacher nor any that was more beloved has ever been in Kentucky than was Henry Mc Donald, as will be universally at tested by all the older people who knew him. In 1840 when the first execu tive board of the Russell Creek Association was appointed, three of its five members were mem bers of of the Mt. Gilead church, viz Rev. Zachariah Wooley.Robt, Ball, and Wm. G. Anderson. Hot Weataer Tonic and Health Build er Are you down Nervous Tired? Is everything you do an effort? You are not lazy you are sick!

A real "mechanical horse" is Deing experimented with abroad. It is a "tractor" that is easily hitched to any horse-drawji ve hicle, just as a team of horses may be, and combines all the ad vantages of the horse with those of the auto truck at an exceed ingly low price. The outfit com prises a steel bar and coupler and sprocket wheels designed to be attached to the wheels and tongue of the wagon. There is only one wheel on the "horse" and that is at the front, the most of the support for the tractor de pending upon the front wagon wheels by which it is drived. The engine mounted under the front hood as in an automobile, is 40 or 50 horse power and drives the wagon at a speed of from 8 to 30 miles an hour, the latter speed only being used when it is desig nated for fire engine service. The front wheel is used to steer by and it allows a turn being made at an angle of 45 degrees thus giving remarkable turning ability in narrow streets. One of the greatest advantages of the "mechanical horse" is the fact that it may be kept constantly at work while unloading or load ing is going on. Shake off Your Rheumatism.

When I go to vote I feel sure that half the candidates are dis honest and the other half wait ing for a chance to be. There fore, there is no chance for me to be disappointed. When the wise men talk econ omy they don't mention the fact that it costs this country $20, 000,000 a year to keep the creases pressed in .its trousers legs, and that they are of about as much use as whiskers on a gate post. It is easy to figure that if each of your sixteen Leghorn hens lays two eggs per day the total will be thirty-two eggs, but the puzzle come3 in when you go to the coop three days running and don't find a darned egg.- In marrying, no young couple take into consideration the fact that the day must come when they will get over being half fools and have a little common sense.

My neighbor sued mey for keeping a barking dog and the suit was not yet decided when he had to abandon his own nome on account of his wife's singing. I hired deacon Wheeler to hoe corn for me because I saw him bust his suspenders in hoeing his own. In working for me he put in about five hours a day and made special arrangements with the sun made special arrange ments with the sun to go down two hours earlier than usual. It makes a difference whose corn field it is.

A long and patient search for a mother she never 'knew ended a few days ago for Mrs. Hattie Leavitt Warrington Terrell, of Morrisville, Pa., when she locat ed the missing parent in Provi dence, R. I. The mother and daughter met for the first time in 1 34 years in the Grand Cen tral station in New York city, and are now in Morrisville, wherc they declare they are spending the h appiest days of their lives. Mrs. Terrill was kidnaped U years ago by her father. She was adopted fand reared by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Warrington, o Fallsington, Mass. Later she became the wife of Nicholas Terrell, a telegraph operator, and now she is a mother. Dur ing the past third of a centnry she has longed for her mother, not knowing whether she was dead or living. Mrs. Terrell was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank LeavrK and was born in Roxbury,Mass., July 31, 1878, as she learned just recently. Her father was a rail road worker and of a roving dis position. He never stayed lcn enough in one place to call it home. After the birth of his daughter he abandoned his wife and child. Later he returned kidnaped the baby from the house of its grandparents and! had it adopted by the Warring ton family, Hattie Warrington, as she M?ak known to her playmates, learned from school-children that she was not the child of the Warrington family, and from that time for ward she longed to know if mother were still living. Mrs. Leavitt, it appears, found a position after she had been deserted, and later became the wife of Henry Sinv mons, of Providence. She, too, was eager for her child, but could find no trace of her. LETTER BRINGS TWO TOGETHER Several weeks ago the post- , master, of Morrisville, Pa., re ceived a letter from an aunt ol Mrs. Terrell asking if anything was known in that community of Hattie Leavitt -or Warrington. This gave thejclew that brought about the happy culmination of s search that had lasted nearly .a third of a century. i By correspondence the "mother and daughter agreed to meet at the Grand Central station in-New York on a given day, the dasgh ter to wear a red and the motkHr a blue ribbon tied in a bow. They, met but were in each other's arms before they even feokei' for the markB of identification. &
