CHURCH OF CHRIST
A large crowd greeted the speaker
Evangelist A. LeRoy Elkins at the
Church of Christ last Monday, night
and listened attentively to his master-
ly defense of the Bible the Wonder
Book Against the theory-', of Evolu-
tion." Mr. Elkins knows his lesson
and is not afraid to put it out in
sledge hammer fashion blows against
infidelity and sin of every form. Those
present expressed themselves as be-
ing highly pleased with the lecture
and purpose to hear the rest of the
services as announced in this paper.
You are missing something that is
worth while and vitally important if
you miss this series of lectures. Don’t
fail to hear other lectures.
Stamfoid still keeps up the build-
ing pace.
There are dozens of nice houses
now under construction, and many of
them are costly.
There are no less than five brick
residences under course of construc-
tion, while the list of wooden ones
keep mounting. This is in resdences,
whle some more business houses are
in course planning, we have been told.
Lumberyards are busy dealing out
the lumber and the brick plants are
doing their part toward the building.
At no time was the building spirit-
more prevalent than now.

about the condition of Mrs. Paul Sny-

der’s condition last night was very
critical, indeed, but that she passed
the night and is in a fair way for a
better mornng. **■ This has been a very
serious case from the strat. It is
to be hoped this good woman will
soon be up again.

U. E. WALLACE AND WIFE
BUILDING HANDSOME HOME
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Walalce are
building a handsome new home on
Orient Street, which will front the
Kanban' Foundation playground. -The
two-stbry structure, when completed
with all heating and other appoint-
ments. will cost* around $12,500 and
will be of brick. Excavations are now
proceeding right along for this pret-1
ty new home, one that will grace
nicely that already pretty part of
own. The builders have lived here
for a number of years, hence have
faith in Stamford’s future, it seems.
Candidate For Mayor Says Pablk
Offices Are Peoples* Property
Public offices are the- property of
the people—not the individual pro-
perty of any person, or set of persons
click, clan or special Interest, to be
bestowed at will or bartered away.
I am a free candidate for Mayor of
Stamford—running because I want
the office, not for the compensation,
as the pay is insignifeant, but be-
cause Of the larger opportunity it
will afford me to be of service to my
city. I haye served as mayor an d on
the city council in other towns where
I have lived and yonw something of
city financing and city government
and believe I can be of real service
to Stamford in such positioq, ,
I have the highest respect for the
members of our city council and know
them to be honorable and patriotic
citizens and it will be a pleasure to
me to serve with them. I endorse
the candidacy of the two standing for
re-election at this time.
No one told me to run, and I have
made no promises of favors to any-
one. If you vote for 'me I shall deep-
ly appreciate it and pledge you hon-
est and sincere service for the up-
buiUing and ongoing of Stamford.
R. C. THOMAS, For Mayor.
