The evangelistic meeting at
the Christian church began Sun-
day with a fine spirit. The Vaw
ter party arrived Saturday ni-
ght from Greenville where they
just finished a revival meeting.
Many people have expressed
themselves as being well pleased
with the sermons by the evan-
gelist C. R. L. Vawter. Dr. Vaw
ter*s sermons are logical, inter-
esting and true to the Book. A
great deal of favorable comment
has also l>een heard concerning
the music which is being fur-
nished by the party. The num-
bers on the Chimes and the
Marimba-xylophone are creating
a great deal of enthusiasm. Mrs.
Vawter's solo's are very pleas-
ing. Owing to a severe cold, Mr.
Reeves has not been able to sing
yet but he will no doubt be able
again in a few days.
Thig week, owing to the musi-
cal programs which are nightly
>eing given under the auspices
of the Harmony Club, the evan-
gelistic services have been begin

Fon Holder, who has been on
the plains near O'Donnell for
the past two years, was back
here last week. He say that
they have not had enough rain
in that section of the West to
plant their crops.

Mothers Day Program
The Christian Church at
Stout will render a Mothers
day program on the afternoon
of Sunday May 10th. The pro-
gram will commence at 3:00
o'clock. Rev. Vawter and party
who are holding a revival
meeting at the Christian Chur-
ch will be present. They will
have with them their musical
instruments and and the people
present will have the opportuni-
ty of hearing the chimes.
May 1st. Trustees should never
transact any school business ex-
cept when in session. Employ
your teachers when together
and have a through under-
standing with them. Look out
for the children's interest, not
the interest of some friend
or kinsman or to interest of
some neighbor who may have a
teacher in the family or some
church or society or organiza-
tion. Any trustee who may em-
ploy a teacher for any other
consideration other than the
interest of the children is un-
fit for the position. Take time
to investigate and consult with
each other and never trade
just to keep from being bother-
ed.

rade started promptly at 2:30
and the long column came
swinging down Main street to
the joy and amusement of the
waiting throngs.
With the presentation of
Ringtail Bros, circus in towm
Winnsboro takes one step a-
head of the neighboring towns.
The circus was comprised of the
students of the North Schoo!
and was arranged and put on by
the teachers at that school. The
circus was one of the best dis-
plays of home talent that we
have ever seen in Winnsboro
and those who were in charge
of the circus deserve the hig-
<t praise.
THE Y. W. A. GIRLS
The Ross Hotel at Sulphur
Springs burned Saturday after-
noon with a loss estimated at
$5,000. The structure was cover-
er with insurance amounting to
$1,600. The fire originated from
an oil stove and was quickly de-
molished. The hotel was a lf>
room structure, located on Gil-
mer street.
The Y. W. A. girlfl dispensed
with the regular lesson last
Thursday and went to Musgro-
ve springs on a weinna roast.
We had as guests Mr. and Mrs.

On the land where they
must toil,
They'll not have to ask the
question,
"Here's the deeds, but where
is the soil?"
Old man Si Sorghum, who
lives over in Smith county,
says he ain't going to waste no
time and money on fertilizer
this year. He always has got
along without it and if he can't
make a crop without all that
trouble and expense he'll just
have to fail. And besides, they
say that fertilizer "kills the
land." Uncle Si, if your land is
in the condition of some that
we have seen in Wood County
the application of fertilizer or
anything else won't do it any
harm for you can't kill what is
already dead.
Don't put off making neces-
sary repairs on the screen doors
and windows, draining water
holes about the premises, and
instituting a general clean-up
of breeding places of flies and
mosquitoes. A little time and
money spent now may save a
big doctor bill and days, maybe
weeks of suffering of some
member of the family later on.
The Young Ladies Missionary
Society opened Tuesday after-
noon with a round-table discus-
sion on "What this Society
needs." Some very good points
were brought out. Among them
those of Loyalty, cooperation,
boosting, beginning on time and
sacrificing for the service on
Tuesday afternoon. After a live-
ly business session Mrs. Mikule
conducted an interesting study
of several of the Psalms. The So
ciety will meet next Tuesday
with Mrs. McCary in charge of
a Missionary program. We had
a splendid crowd this week, let

a feast fit for the king.s. And it
was served in the good old fash
ioned way—spread over a large
table and everybody help them
selves. They also spent the af-
ternoon here. We were very
glad to have Brother and his
good family with us and extend
to them a welcome to Harmony
at any time. We hope to have
Brother preach for us in the
future.
Large Crowd Sunday
A large crowd attended all
services here Sunday. It was im
possible to seat all the peoplt;
at the church hour, and in the
afternoon the crowd was much
larger. Some estimated the
crowd at 1,000.
Brother Hubbard delivered a
great message at 11 o'clock and
in the afternoon the Evangelis-
tic party, which is beginning a
two weeks revival at the Chris-
tian church in Winnsboro, was
here and rendered a program,
consisting of a number of pieces
on the charm organ—or what
ever you call it. Perhaps some
of our readers heard them play-
on the streets of Winnsboro
Saturday afternoon. We thank
these musicians very much.
The Epworth league rendered
a fine program Sunday night
and Brother Hubbard preached
another good sermon follow
ing the program. Yes, Sunday
was a great day.—Dud.
