CHURCH OF CHRIST.
(G. F. Mickey, Minister).
After more than two months ab-
sence Brother Mickey plans to meet
with home forces for next Lord’s Day
at the morning hour. We hope for a
well filled house, and a hearty re-
sponse to each item of service and
worship. Remember that God has
made certain appointments, and
should we fail to meet them we shall
not only fail to receive a blessing, but
we shall also fail to meet diving ao-
proval.
Preaching at Mt. View.

:>fm?nr^ Water Supply
Is From Hord’s Creek
And Lake Scarborough
What makes the water so muddy?
This question has been asked a multi-
tude of times recently by Coleman
women with the same degree of sat-
isfaction the fellow, got when he ask-
ed “What makes the wild cat wild?”
For this reason a reporter was assign-
ed to the case, and after considerable
labor thinks he has diagnosed it
properly.
The supply being used in Coleman
now is due to an admixture of Hord
Creek and new lake water. The mud-
dy water, according to those who
ought to know is coming from the
lake. The pump at Hord’* Creek is in
operation only two hours a day and
the water issuing from there is filter-
ed through gravel. The lake water is
translucent because of frequent show-
ers on the water shed and an accumu-
lation of clean dirt in the new water
mains. If no more showers fall on
watershed the water will likely be-
come transparent in a few days.
Some families hkve been‘boiling
thier drinking wateh since it became
polluted, but the chances are that no
dangerous germs lurk therein.
Mrs. Clarence McDaniel and child-
ren of McAllen, who have been visit-
ing Mrs. McDaniel’s mother, Mrs. J.
W. Cates, returned Saturday to their
home.
Ellis Cockrell. Jr., returned Tues-
day from an extended visit with rela-
tives in Ranger.
