Interest continued unabated to the end and all the congregations were good, that Sunday morning being the largest in the history of the church. Mr Thomas is greatly nloncf?H with thp supppss of the mis sion and contemplates holding another here at some future date. We fairly feasted this week on delicious comestibles presented by ouf generous and thoughtful friends: A bag of fine Virginia apples, a mess of birds and a large jar of most appetizing apple jelly, a wild duck and a brace of squirrels. But, alas, we are so spoiled that to go back to our regular frugal fare is a great let down and it will take a few days to become reconciled to it. The good friends to whom we are indebted for this Epicurean feast deprecate publicity and we respect their wishes. Our good friend, Charlie McElveen, presented the editor and our Mr Tolley with those two prize pumpkins exhibited at the canning club demonstration. They were beauties, taken from a vine bearing 450 pounds of pumpkins, and the prize specimens were not weighed separately. They were a most acceptable Rift, as we had been hoping in vain to buy one for Thanksgiving. Needless to say.we are deeply grateful to our ever-kind and thoughtful friend. David-Hirsch.

Washington, November 23:?Justice Lamar today refused to issue a writ of error to bring to the supreme court for review the conviction of Leo M Frank for the murder of Mary Phagan, a factory girl, in Atlanta, Ga, in 1913. Attorneys applied to Justice Lamar for the writ on the ground that a right under the Federal constitution had been denied Frank when the jury's verdict was returned durinjr his ahspn(-p from the court room. It was announced tonight that at-! torneys for Frank will carry to other members of the United States supreme court their application for a writ of error.
