Revival Services at Baptist Church.
The revival services at the
Baptist church will continue a
part and perhaps all of this week
and the interest is growing with
each meeting. Great crowds are
in attendance, and more than
seventy-five professions have
been made with about forty ad-
ditions to the church.
Bro. Copass preached two
soul stirring sermons Sunday and
at the close of each service an
an offering was made to the
Southern Baptist Home Evan
gelist Board which resulted in
something like $400 for this great
work, and it is hoped that this
amount will be increased to $450
as the board is in much need of
money.
Mr. Reynolds charms young
and old with his congregational
singing while his 6olos go
straight to the heart with their
message of love and hope.
The subject for tonight will be
“Excuses.”
Come out and worship with us
—good fires and comfortable
seats for all. X

Methodist attendance 178, col-
lection $11.61; Christian attend-
ance 139, collection $4.30.
Business Associates
Often tell tlie story of success or failure. The
old adage says “Show me who you live with
and I will tell you who you are.” It is so in
the business world. Successful men use the
banking methods of doing business, keep their
accounts with banks, draw their checks on
banks, borrow money (when necessary) from
banks, and thus prosperity and success come to
them. . -—

Then you will be in the company of many suc-
cessful business men of this section; your funds
will be safe and your checks will be receipts
for payment. Get in line with successful busi-
ness associates.

Pierian Club Honors Mrs. Killing.
On Friday afternoon the Pie-
rian club met in special compli-
ment to Mrs. Glenn Huling, one
of its loyal members, who is to
marry on March 4th, and leave
Lampasas. Mrs. John Hall, the
gracious hostess of “Terrace
Lawn,” the club home, received
in her cordial manner all club
members, both active and honor-
ary and a few friends invited on
this occasion.
The decoration of the home
was a noteworthy feature. In
the reception hall the club flow-
ers, white chrysanthemums were
in profusion, while in the parlors
violets in quantity t and yellow
jonquils were disposed in taste
on every hand, and in the dining
room pink blossoms were clus-
tered 'among ferns, and the
effect so refreshing as to sug-
gest the springtide so soon to
burst with all its brightness of
color against its background of
verdure.
“The entertainment took the
form of a “Domestic Science
Afternoon” owing to the fact
that the honoree had just re-
turned from Austin where she
had represented the club during
the course of lectures on “Plome
Economics” at the State Univer-
eity. In response to roll call
each member read a “tried and
true” recipe which was in turn
delivered to Miss Guerrero who
will rewrite and bind them in
small book form and present to
the honoree.
Mrs. Huling then made her re-
port, and told many interesting
things about music and art in the
home, ak well as marketing,
cooking and home expenditures.
She also told of the increasing
attendance during Home Eco-
nomics week which is now open
to all women of the state, wheth-
er delegates or not. This is of
inestimable benefit to women of
Texas.
After this instructive and en-
joyable talk, an exciting'contest
on “things to eat” was^conduct-
ed by Mrs. F. J. Harris and
caused much merriment. A de-
licious ice course of refreshment
was then3erved,
As a fitting conclusion to the
enjoyable afternoon the club
president, Mrs. J, W. Ellis, in
well chosen words, told the hon-
oree how much she was loved
and appreciated by the club
members and how great was the
regret at going from us, after
many years of sharing in the
club work and its pleasures.
Mrs. Huling expressed a desire
to still be allowed to contribute
to the good work by the club, and
for such loving thought the of-
fice of club patroness was creat-
ed, and Mrs. Huling unanimous-
ly elected.
The club then presented to
Mrs. Huling an elegant loving
cup, and as it was passed from
member to member in this circle
of friends each expressed a sin-
cere and loving wish or gave a
beautiful toast to the bride-to-be.
The toasts deserving especial
mention was given by Mrs. T. A.
Tirado, of San Antonio, who is a
talented student of dramatic art.
After the presentation, Mrs.
Huling in turn, made a feeling
reply expressing gratitude for the
beautiful tribute. There was no

association together, and a royal

Making Boys Useful.
Chinese women may lack some of
the privileges accorded to their sex
in more modern countries, but they
have others peculiarly their own. For
instance, when a Chinese lady encoun-
ters a mudhole she beckons to any
small hoy in sight. The boy gets
down on his hands and knees in the
mud and the lady uses him as a foot-
bridge. She is required to give him
a small coin for the service.
Unidentified Quotation.
“I expect to pass through this world
but once,” etc. Every effort to iden-
tify the author of this much-quoted
saying has failed. It has been attrib-
uted to Stephen Crellet, an American
Quaker (born 1773, died 1855); Em-
erson, Addison, Carlyle, and others.
In “Blessed Be Drudgery,” by a once
famous Unitarian writer, William C.
Gannett (1824-1871) the saying is thus
recorded: “The old Quaker was
right; I expect to pass through life
but once. If there is any kindness
or any good things I can do to my
fellow-beings let me do it now. I
shall pass this way but once.”
Germany's First Letter Post.
The first actual letter post of Ger-
many seems to have been established
in the Hanse towns in the latter part
of the twelfth or the early part of the
thirteenth century. A line of letter
posts followed connecting Austria with
Lombardy in the reign of Maximilian
(1459-1519), which is said to have been
organized by Franz of Thurn and
Haxis, who established another post
route in 1516 from Vienna to Brus-
sels, connecting the more distant parts
of the domain of Charles V. The fam-
ily of the prince of Thurn and Texia
continued to hold certain rights with
regard to the German postal system
until 1806, their posts being entirely
distinct from those of the crown.
The Comanche Marketing as-
sociation has marketed ninety-
nine thousand pounds of hogs.
The significance of the modern
method of handling the farmers’
business may be clearly seen by
those who have handled the bus-
iness in the past. The farmer
has concluded that the middle
man has been taking too much
toll. When the farmers begin to
market their cotton by this sys-
tem that will be something else
again.—Temple Telegram,
