Rev. ancj Mrs. W. H. Ackley and
daughter, Willie Ruth, were in Dal-
las Tuesday to attend a meeting of
the State Board of the Baptist Gen-
eral Convention, at which plans were
outlined to raise $6,350,000 among
Texas Baptists this year. The period
October 13 to 16 was set aside for
the district rallies in the campaign
to enlist 506,328 Baptists in support
of both denominational causes and
local church work. In the drive it is
expected to raise $750,000 for the
cooperative program and $5,600,000
for associational missions, Christian
education, beneficences and local
church expenses. Each church is ex-
pected to give for the cooperative
program one-fourth of all money re-
ceived.
Mrs. Eldridge Pendleton of Farm-
ersville visited her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. S. H. Montgomery, here Tues-

“A GOOD PLACE TO TRADE”
4
There is a reason why we enjoy a good patronage at this store.
First, we have a good, clean stock of merchandise to select from and
you can usually get what you want here. Second, we pay cash for
our merchandise which enables us to own our goods at the lowest
price. Third, we sell our goods on a very close margin and we try to
be fail’ and above board in our dealings. A child can trade here as
advantageously as a grown person.
Dr. John A. Ray returned to Saint
Louis Saturday to resume his work in
Washington University, after spend-
ing the summer vacation with his fa-
ther, Dr. A. J. Ray.

fill them out. We are never’ too busy
to write subscription receipts. We
like to have Sun readers visit with us,

And when they do it will please us if
each will give us a news item or two,
and just before they say good-bye
have us write them a subscription re-
ceipt. Now, dear readers, don’t
crowd—come one at a time, so we
will not have to put on extra help to
take care of the rush.
