This
day has been set aside as an
“Every Member Sunday.’’ At
the morning service there will
be a roll call of the member-
ship and it is urgent that each
and every member will be pres-
ent to answer when his name is
called.
Rev. Reaves who will do the
preaching, is one preacher it
can be said of that he is “not
ashamed of the gospel.” He
has been pastor of several large
churches and he understands
the needs of a church. He has
been pastor at Honey Grove,
Jdt. Pleasant and at Jonesboro,
Ark.
All these churches did well
under his leadership, and the
people liked his preaching so
well that they hear him speak
every opportunity they have.
And it is believed that all who
will hear him in Deport will be
greatly blessed. He speaks the
truth boldly, but he speaks it
in love.

Indigestion! Constipation!
RELIEVE BOTH WITH THIS SIMPLE TREATMENT!
Just a spoonful of smooth, creamy, pleas-
ant-tasting Rexall Miik of Magnesia is us-
ually all that is needed to bring relief from
the gnawing torture of indigestion and the
binding grip of constipation; relief from
indigestion, by neutralizing the excessive
acidity in the stomach, one of its most fre-
quent causes; relief from constipation, by
stimulating the bowels to increased activ-
ity.. For the sake of the comfort 'and health of your
family, have a bottle of Rexall Milk of Magnesia handy
at all times. Sold only at Rexall Drug Stores.

Mr. Hutchison was born in
northern Mississippi in nine
miles of Oxford College. He
moved to Arkansas from Miss-

1863, settling first in Titus
county and moving to the Ro-
salie section two years later.
While living at Rosalie he car-
ried corn, to be ground into

site of the Halesboro commun-

He moved to Byrdtown from
Rosalie and since that time has
never left Blossom Prairie ex-
cept for visits to his old home
in Mississippi. He settled in
this section when only timber-

barbed wire was unknown and
it was not' practical to haul
rails to the prairie for fences
which would protect crops from
the cattle and horse herds

built. ‘
