As a matter of fact, while the results of ther labor and thought are visible In only a very small measure in the individual schools, the sum total of their achieve ment is considerable and the concrete results of their labors, as represented by small libraries, improved grounds, beautitled school rooms 'and other such improvements represent but a minor part of the great good they are doing for the uplift and advancement of the county. Their greatest achieve ment lies in the general awakening which they are bringing about to the needs and importance of better schools 13y directly interesting the mothers and fathers in the relatively smaller affairs of school life, they have indi rectly influenced them to take a more decided interest in school matters as a whole. The general awakening Is bound to be productive and is already productive of much good. As a Farmer Sees l's.

The following article taken from the Petersburg (Va.) index-Appeal, will be of much interest throughout, Lau rens county where Dr. Hoper lhas. hun dreds of strong frienls and admirers. The Pine St. Haptist church is the largest church in Richmond and the largest Baptist church in the south. l)r. J. B. 1-Hutson has been pastor there for 41 years and is recognized as one of the greatest and wisest men of the denomination, having served for many years as the chairman of the board of foreign missions for the southern Baptists. During his work as pastor of Pine Street church he has held 42 revival meeting.s. 11e writes as follows of the meeting in which Dr. Roper has helped him: "Dr. L. M. Roper, pastor of the First Baptist church, Petersburg, has just concluded a meeting of nearly three full weeks at our church. It has been one of the most satisfactory, hellpful and blessed meetings. l)r. Roper is not only a man of scholarly attainments, but is a thoroughly evan gelical preacher, possessed of re markable gifts, surprisingly resource ful, and seems to be full of the Spirit. "Notwithstanding rains and snows tihe congregations continued to grow, and sometimes the sacious house ov ertlowedl. I nila gg ing interest pre vailed, and t he're were conversions at every evening service from the begin ning to the end. As visible results, there were 1i received to unite with the church, i57 of these by baptism. hlut the uplift to the church to a mere consecrated and spiritual life, we be lieve, was most hlessed. "Dr. Hoper knows how to manage a meet ig, he is the sonul of courtesy and kindness, and the protracted ser vices closed without an adverse criti cism and with his praise on all lips." Negro lilked..

A sense of humor is certainly the salt of life, either of the married va riety or the plain, single existence. It certainly helps a wifo to laugh off many a little bruiso that otherwise would grow into a festering sore.
