BIG RAINS IN
STONEWALL COUNTY
WATER GAPS ARI ALL. GONE, CLODS
MELTED AND THE TRASH IS
CONE. TWO AND ONE
HALF INCHES BAIN
BEST SEASON IN
FOITB TEABS
About three o'clock Monday
even;ng the clouds began to
gather in the southwest. The
forked lightning began to play
hide and seek and the muttering
thunder began to roar—and di-
rectly the rain began to fall. I'll
tell you folks it was glorious to
watch the sheets of water drench
the famished earth. The water
holes are all full now. The Salt
Fork and Double Mountain
got on a rampage. The rain
was general throughout Stone-
wall county and so far as we can
hear at this writing all of west
Texas got a soaking. Old timers
here say that this is the best rain
that has fallen since 1909. Grand
old Stonewall county can now
take on new life. The grass will
grow and late feed will hump
itself sure enough. Well we
want to wake up and take on
new life, get the hump out of our
backs and the wrinkles out of
our face. Old Stonewall county
is going to grow, immigation will
come our way and prosperity
will greet us on every hand.
At the Methodist Church.
A good day last Sunday. Sun-
day school well attended, two
new classes formed. Better join
the Sunday School. For the
preaching hour we had a fair
congregation, it was a gracious
hour to many, a large number
partook of the Lord's Supper.
At the evening hour we had a
fine congregation and we believe
a profitable service.
The prayer meeting was well
attended, 45 being present, at-
tend the prayer meetings, they
will benefit you.
Subjects for next Sunday:
morning hour, The Reward of
Well Doing. Evening hour,
Unlawful Possessions.
We miss you when you are
absent. You are welcome when
you come.
M. M. Beavers.
Christian Reviyal !

menee at the Christian Church

debted to me will please try and

Whole Family Wiped Out In
Thirty Days By Feyer.
The entire family of A. W, At-
wood, ice merchant at Dallas has
been wiped out during the past
month by the ravages of typhoid
fever. Mr. Atwood arranged
for the funeral of his wife Aug.
3, and Wednesday buried his
youngest child, Emery Atwodd.
Mrs. Ella Atwood, 21 years of
age, was the first to go. Attack-
ed by the dread typhoid during
the last days of July, her hus-
band caused her removal to the
Baptist Sanitarium for treatment
She died Aug. 3.
A few days after the funeral of
he mother, little Homer E. At-
wood, two years* old, took the
disease and died at the home of
relatives of the Atwood family.
Emery Atwood, after a brief
illness, succumbed Tuesday af-
ternoon. He was only two
months old.

Book Social
One of the most delightful en-
tertainments of the season was
pulled off at the court house last
Friday night. This affair under
the auspices of the Phoenix Club
of which Mrs. Joe M. Carter was
the moving spirit. Following was
the Program for. the occasion:
Opened by song, prayer by Rev.
R. C. McCulloch. Reading by
Miss Eula Link. Reading by
Miss Dahlia .Link. Reading by
Misses Lucile and Novell McCord
Reading bv Miss Christine Car-
ter. Reading by Miss Francis
Davis. Motion song by Miss
Ruth Smith. Song by six little
girls: Misses Lucile and Novell
McCord, Christine Carter, Roxy
Couch, Francis and Rachel Davis.
Pantomine by hisses Dahlia and
Eula Link. Music was furnished
by the string band composed of
Miss Levy Huntsman, Messrs.
Lucian and Emmett Huntsman
and Fred Johnson. Mrs. N. G.
Rollins, Rev. Beavers, Mr. J. C.
Link and Prof. Hiner all made
splendid talks in favor of the
Public Library and also dis-
cussed the advantages that it
would be to the people.
The purpose of the entertain-
ment was the establishment of
a Public Library for the town.
The entertainment, one hundred
books were contributed by the
people of Aspermont on this
occasion. We think that this
was a splendid beginning.
The Phoenix Club are to be
congratulated for this movement.
As yet they have not located the
place for the library, but in a
very short time a place will be
selected. When this is done, the
people can bring all their maga-
zines and papers, which will be
distributed among the people.
As some one else has expressed
it: "It will be a clearing house
for the distribution of good.liter-
ature. Let everyone get behind
this proposition and lend a help-
ing hand to the Phoenix Club.

Methodist Episcopal church here:
last night Dr. D. C. Carrington
formerly of Aspermont was
married to Miss Mabejf Ly tie, at
the same time Miss Alice Lytle
was married to Mr. Andrew
Jackson Gidlev. The wedding
was a very brilliant affair, the
church was specially decorated J
and lighted for the occasion
The flowers used for the decor-
ations were red and white and:
corresponded beavtifnlly with S
the evergreens and other things
used. Friends of the couples
came from far and near, and for ;
two days the home of the brides'
was nothing short of a grand
house party. Dr. Carrington
and his best man, Hunterle^
Carrington, and1 several friend
arrived yesterday morning from
San Antonio, where they had
been the guests of hiis sister,
Mrs. A. D. Evans for several ;
days preparing for the happy
event. The gifts received by
each couple was one of the mopt
beautiful displays of silverware,
cut glass, linens, one would care
to see. At about eight p.* m. the
two grooms and their best men
and ushers arrived at the home
of the brides' and the entire
partv proceeded to the church
in automobiles, where Rev.
Ridout of San Antonio performed
the ceremony while Mrs. W. E.
Flynn of Márquez played "Thte
Melody of Love". Afterwards
the party returned to the home
of Mrs. Brunson Bayless Rose
where a reception was held., after
which a very unique program
was carried out, consisting of a
lunch, which looked as if it was
the work of a connesieur. The
wedding cake provided lots of
amusement when it was cut by
the younger members of the
party. The newly wedded
couples left at a laté hour in a
big touring car for San Antonio
with the usual accompament of
rice and shoes, then left there on.
