Mt, Pleasant, Beginning Aug. 3rd
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH
SUNDAY
We are expecting a very large
crowd out for Sunday School and
church Sunday. The Lord has been
good to us and has sent us a good
rain, for which we are all very thank-
ful. The weather is much cooler and
is very pleasant, in fact it is ideal
weather for church going. Let us
prove our faithfulness to the Lore ,
to His church and to His work by
coming out to Sunday School and
church Sunday morning.
We heartily welcome the coming
of the new Presbyterian pastor, Rev.
Mattingly, to our city and to this
commurtity. We hope for him the
greatest of blessings, and may his
coming be a blessing to Mt. Pleasant
is our prayer.
As is the custom of welcoming fh3
new pastor, there will be no preach-
ing service at the Baptist church
Sunday evening. Every Baptist Is
expected to be at the Presbyterian
church Sunday evening to give a
hearty welcome to the new pastor.
The B. Y. P. U. service will be held
as usual at seven o’clock Sunday even-
ing. Every B. Y, P. Uper is expect-
ed to be present.
Let’s make Sunday a great day for
j the Lord. H. W. Thompson,
! Assistant Pastor.
TRADE WORTH HAVING
Reports of trade between the Unit-
ed States and Mexico for the first
five months of the present year, as
recently announced, show that the
daily business between the two re-
publics amounted to more than
$1,000,000.
That is good business—a trade
worth having.
Senor Alfredo Banos, consul at
Dallas, made public the statistics
.just the other day, and they placed
the value of exports to Mexico dur-
ing the five-month period at $63,-
718,708, and imports from Mexico
during that period at $87,710,083--
a total of more than $150,000,000 for
the 150 “trade days.”
, Certainly a business like Via#,
should not be jeopardized by indi-
vidual interests, or by lack of diplo-
macy of any kind.
j Mexican raw materials are needed
in the United States, and American
| manufactured products are needed in
I Mexico.
| It would seem that the two coun-
tries ought to be friendly, and ought
to prosper by fair trade relations.
| A trade of $1,000,000 a day with a
border country is certainly a trade
worth having.—Dallas Times-Herald
The desire to work seems to be al-
most entirely confined to the classi-
fied ads.—Shoe and Leather Report-

ACKLEY & LEIGH’S COMEDIANS
This is the show that has been
here for the past two weeks rehears-
ing their company. They will open
their fall tour here Monday, August
3rd.
This company carries about 25
people, and every one during their
stay here has proven themselves
to be ladies and gentlemen in every
sense of the word, and we feel sure
that they will give us a good clear
show.
In connection with the four act
dramas they also carry many vaude-
ville features. Among them Mr.
C. D. Leigh, the world’s greatest im-
itator. Mr. Leigh has played th?
entire world, and on the big vaude-
ville circuits is known as the human
bird. He wras touring the vaudeville
circuit in Australia when the World
War broke out. He volunteered but
| on account of his clever work as an
! actor, in a short time he was placed
1 at the head of a theatrical company
j that entertained the soldiers in the
field.
j Mr. Leigh is also part owner of
j this company and states that he ir
tends to make Mt. Pleasant the head;
1 quarters for the show, and in the fu-
ture will organize here each year.
! We believe the Ackley & Leigh t
Comedians will be as good as any
1 company that has ever played here,
and re deserving of the patronage
of the show going people of Mt
Pleasant.

father is supporting both of them.
Where Fifty Danced to Death
<TOcA.»tA----------„
The buildings, in which are night clubs and cabarets at Boston, '
are undergoing a most rigid inspection since the collapse of the
“Pickwick Club" there July 4 when 50 dancers crashed to their
death. Picture 6hows firemen removing the body of one of the
victims. *
