CAMP MEETING CLOSED
The Camp Meeting at -Old Hack-
ney closed out Sunday night with
le most glorious results. Several
camped all the time on the
grounds and many others came
bringing their eats and spent the
day -’from time to time. The at
tireing, faithful, efficient service

them as God’s chosen ones, and
pray that He may continue to
bless them in their work.

<4. tendance was good from the very tor and presiding elder up to date,
yst service, and the interest and
peration was at all times very
ne. Several services were held
?ydaily and it was not an unusual
thing to hear old time shouting
in these meetings. Perhaps ^the
greatest single service was the
service for old people. There were
present at that meeting many old
people who had been members of
the church from fifty to seventy-
three years. One dear old
soul, sister P. J. Clowers who is
eighty-one years of age and
seventy-three years a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South missed only one of the many
services of the entire meeting. It
Would be hard indeed to find a
person riper in the Christian ex-
perience than grandmother Clow-
ers.
Twelve members were added to
the membership of the church with
perhaps some more to follow, and
the entire membership was great-
ly strengthened in f^ith and
spiritual vitality.
Rev. J. D. Smoot and son, Mr.
Graham Smoot, of Comanche were
with us, 1 the former
doing the preaching and
the other leading the sing-
ing. These men of God endereared
themselves to us all by their inl-
and gave the pastor and his wife
a most glorious pounding of good
things to eat. Can you beat it?
S/P. Nevill, Pastor
Coryell Church with Rev. S. P.
Nevill, pastor of the Methodist
j church officiating. Mr. Terry has
been a faithful member of the
Methodist church for many years.
The children were all present
when the end came, except two
sons one of whom was in China and
the other in Colorado. Interment
was made at Coryell Church ceme-
tery, with a large concourse of
people being present to pay the
last tributes of respect. Lee under-
takers had charge of the burial
services.
Mr. and,Mrs. W. L. Griffin had
the pleasure of celebrating their
fifty-first marriage anniversery
last week. Their children and
grandchildren from different
parts of the state were present to
enjoy the event. They met Thurs-
day of last week on Leeon River
at Holbert’s Crossing for the day

MILK PAIL PROOF
Purina-fed cows have broken more than sixty
state, national, and world records.
Yet these records don’t tell the whole story
after all. They only prove that Purina makes
more milk. They don’t prove anything about
Purina producing a cheaper quart of milk
and that’s the thing that every dairyman
wants.
But here’s what does prove Purina pro-
duces a cheaper quart—twenty thou-
sand more dairymen are feeding Purina
this year than fed it last year! When
twenty thousand dairymen—big and
little—change to one feed in one
year, it says a lot more than any
feed salesman can say about the
Purina quart being the cheapest!
