I Presbyterian Aid.
| The Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid
; met with Miss Mary Dickens
i Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Wells
led the lesson.
It was decided to meet at 3:30
instead of 4 o’clock.
The same visiting committee
was reappointed to serve the next
two weeks.
The ladies are very enthusi-
astic about the new church build-
ing and are working in several
ways to raise money. They are
exceedingly grateful for the lib-
eral donations which have been
given to help them.
The next meeting will be with
Mrs. Wells, and Mrs. Fox will

Rev. S. P. Gilmore, now living
at Desdemona, Eastland county,
is here for a day or two looking
after business interests. For a
time he had charge of the news-
paper at Copperas Cove, but
gave it up to work in the minis-
try. He reports that the entire
cotton crop of the section where
he lives has been destroyed by
the boll weevil, and this report
comes from all parts of northern
Texas. Cotton should bring 12
cents this year, and the farmer
who holds his cotton should get
a better price than is now offered.
There has been a steady advance
for several days.
The Western Union Telegraph
Co. has moved its office into the
north end of the building now
occupied by the Peoples Nation-
al bank, where business may be
transacted with greater privacy
and where employes have more
room and better surroundings.
The postofhce corridor is en-
larged to the extent of the space
formerly occupied by the tele-
graph corner.

(By Auntie.)
The farmers are having a rest
as a good rain fell here Wednes-
day morning. However, they
were very busy gathering corn
and picking cotton, and the rain
was not so much appreciated.
Ten days of fair weather would
have been fine on the farmers.
Cotton will not pick so good now
for a week, and the weeds and
grass has completely covered up
the corn which had fallen down
from the recent wind and rain.
Auntie feels like getting out
and picking cotton, but thinks
her two hundred pounds and a
cotton sack of cotton would be
too taxing on her strength this
hot weather. But she needed
some money for her missionary
society so she braved the hot sun
on the corn wagon, and if it is
any harder work pulling corn
than it is pulling the lines on
“Jake” and “Annie” and keep-
ing them on the right row, she
doesn’t want any of it.
We are glad to hear that Mrs.
John Duke and her son, Earl,
are better, after having been sick
several days.
It seems natural to meet our
young friend, Elgin Duke, at
church again after an absence of
several months. He has been at-
tending school at Tyler.
Rev. Clinton Lancaster did not
come to fill his appointment here
last Saturday and Sunday, but
sent Rev. E. G. Wilcox to fill his
place. The Baptists here have
changed their time of meeting
from the second Saturday and
Sunday of each month to the
fourth Saturday and Sunday of
each month. Bro. Lancaster
will be here at the regular time
from now on. Rev. Mr. Wilcox
is from Greenville, and is now
attending Howard Payne
college at Brownwood. This is
his first trip to this part of the
state and he was very muoh im-
pressed with our beautiful coun-
try, and we extend him a cordial
invitation to come again. There
was one addition to the Baptist
church last Saturday.
Mrs, Willie Adams, of Galves-
ton, visited Mrs. J. S. Cole a few
days recently. She says that
the papers did not tell half of the
damage done by the storm at
Galveston.
The B. Y. P. U, will not meet
at the Baptist church next Sun-
day, but will attend the B. Y. P.
U. rally at Kempner Sunday aft-
ernoon.
Milton Harmon, of the Pidcoke
and Topsey community, visited
J. R. Gee Saturday and Sunday.
Joe Gee came with him and vis-
ited home folks.
H. Landrum, of Lometa, visit-
ed his daughter, Mrs. Jess Ellis,
a few days recently.
Two sons of Minus Hallmark of
the Brownsville country, visited
their brother, Karo Hallmark,
near Kempner, also their uncle,
Tom Hallmark, in this section.
One of the boys has gone to Ari-
zona to attend college. They
report things unsettled along the
border.
Miss Naomi Hallmark has
gone to Lampasas to attend
school. So many of the young
people are going away to school,
and we will miss them all.
R. B. Taylor, the popular
Kempner postmaster,gwill accept
thanks for a remittance sufficient
to put his date in advance. There
are others who might follow his
good example.
The rain fall of Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning was
just about two inches, and every-
thing is refreshed thereby.
While there was some damage to
cotton, there was so much bene-
fit to all other crops and the
country generally, that the dam-
age ter the cotton crop is regarded
as insignificant.
