ROSS FINLEY GETS ARM HURT
Ross Finley had the misfortune to
get his left arm thrown out of place
at the elbow, Tuesday evening While
playing with other boy;? with a loot-
ball on the courthouse lawn. Thrs
was quite a painful but not serious
although Ross seemed to think that
it should not hurt when he came from
under the influence of medicine and
asked if his arm had been fixed, when
told that it was he said "well it still
hurts."
Mrs. G. M. Hague and children are
in Cleybura this week. Mrs. Ha«"ue
expects to have tonsil operation at her
father's sanitarium there before re-
turning home.

Again, one "W. H. L." has been
giving us several thought-producing
articles. 1 have asked myself, who
is this W. H. L.? If he is VV. H. Link
I want to apologize to him for |>lnc
ing his mentality and literary ability
too low, Ho is a real writer as well
as a profound thinker.
The arguments Cor and against a
"bond issue'' for roads is interesting
"New Comer" says: we camiot afford
to be taxed to build roads. However,
you are now taxed to build roads for
otiicr counties.
W. H. Davis is afraid of "Bargain
Days'*. They have never appealed
to me very strong, neither does Bro,
Davis' suggestion, that we follow the
example of the Wild Indian, and do
without roads.
Possibly we should develop the
country or turn it back to the Indian
It appears to me that we had bet-
ter vote for Ross Sterling and join
heartily with the road-building crowd

good behind us when we leave this
world to indicate to future genera-
tions that, we tried to be of service,

The Hofmeister Evangelistic Party,
are engaged in a revival meeting in
• First Baptist Church here. The
'• -meister Evangelistic Campaign i«
under the Direction of Dr. Theodore
M. Hofmeister of Pittsburgh, Penn.,
whose ministry extends from coast to
coast, over a period of twenty years.
The local enterprise is Interdenomi-
national in character and is sponsor-
ed by those who desire to co-operate
with the evangelist.
As a champion of the Supernatural
in our Heligion, the evangelist is said
to be a successor to the late Dr. John
Roach Straton of New York. He be-
lieves in the Ministry of Healing thru
prayer and says; "1 believe the same
manifestations of the Holy Spirit
which were in the church of the first
century are for the church of the
twentieth century. God never with-
drew t.he Holy Spirit fron, the church
The Bible ncwr changes. God's word
is true.''
He continues; "J am not a healer.
I pray the simple prayer of faith and
Jesus heals thru prayer, Bring the
sick and afflicted to the revival that
they may be healed." There will be
service,-! each night, Sunday afternoon
anil Sunday night. The evangelist
expresses a desire to conduct two
meeting's daily as soon as practical.
There will be no morning services on
Sunday. Everybody is urged to at-
tend their own home-church services
on Sunday morning.
I>r. Hofmeister will remain in the
city indefinitely, Some campaigns
have extended over a period of eight
and twelve weeks, The local revival
will continue as long as the Lord may
direct.
