sometime back. Miss Lucille
Smart has been elected for the
commercial department in-
stead of Miss Lockwood who re
signed to accept a place at Ver

Davis of Childress, Texas has
been elected to the department
of English instead of Miss Pa-
tillo who resigned to accept a
place in the Greenville schools.
Miss Smart is an experienced
commercial teacher and her
work has been approved by the
Department of Education.. We
feel that we are fortunate for
securing Miss Smart for this
work. Miss Davis is a graduate
of the University of Texas,
has had four years' experience
teaching, and is strongly rec-
ommended by the University
and by schools where she has
taught. We are sure that our
Englist department will be well
cared for under the direction
of Miss Davis. Respectfully,

Stanton, Tenn. July 25—The
people in the vicinity of White-
ville, Somerville, Stanton, Bel-
mont and Daucyville circuits
are looking forward with great
interest to the annual camp
meeting at Joyner's camp
ground, which will occupy ten
days in August, beginning on
the ninth.
This camp ground which is
situated in a beautiful ravine
lying equal distance between
Somerville and Stanton, and
has been a mecca for christians
for 33 years, has surroundings
well adapted to the purpose,
an abundant spring of cloar
pure water forming a nucleus
of the grounds, which werp do-
nated in 1890 for the cause by
Mrs. J. T. Joyner of Dauvy-
ville.
The preaching this year will

Sparrows Do
Some Good
The Times editor has always
heard it said that English
Spanows were no good, but we
observed one good act on
their part one day last week.
Leaf worms were working on
a pecan tree in our yard and
had stripped off about half the
foliage. Going to the tree to
investigate about two dozen
sparrows flew away, and we
saw no more leaf worms.

F. L. U. Meeting
at Musgrove
To The Winnsboro News:—
Here I come again with a re-
port of our county union. We
met at Musgrove church, Sat-
urday, August 9. All the fore-
noon was open meeting. Had
lots of good talks. Was dis-
missed for dinner by Rev. Ma-
lone. And, oh my, they sure
had the dinner and all seemed
to enjoy it, and after we had
enjoyed the dinner and ice wa-
ter, we repaired to the church
again and had an open meet-
ing for an hour and heard Miss
Mertie Berry of Fort Worth, a
member of the Garment Work-
ers Union. She sure made a fine
talk. After which we had a
short business session. Every-
thing seemed to work with
harmony throughout the day.
Our next county union will
meet at Crow on Saturday be
fore the second Sunday in Sept.
The following resolution was
adopted:
We, the Farm Labor Union
of America in convention assem
bled at Musgrove, Texas, do
