the evening story.
“Oh, daddy, 1 never heard of each a thing!” cried Jack.
“Well, kiddles, there are heaps of things yon haven’t heard aboot^more

"This fisherman bad been in Sooth America and had boarded a sailing

a live eel.
“This fisherman boasted that though eels might be very slippery, be had

(BY OBSERVER)
People wish the newly-weds happi-
ness, but they do not expect their
wishes to come true.
A citizen of the town, operating a
delivery service was today lamenting
the fact that the city street force is
hauling in new clay to fill holes in
the streets. He says the holes are
much preferred to the fresh dirt,
which when applied only aggravates
the matter. His suggestion is to
leave the streets as nearly alone as
possible in wet seasons, and do what-
ever stirring of its surface as is nec-
essary during dry 'seasons. There
are aay number of people ready with
suggestions, and it is doubtful if even
the most impractical among them

could make a worse Job of it. To say
the leaBt, the afreets are in a most
deplorable condition, and are a dis-
grace tp the down.

when he returned home his mother
Bald;
"Gerald, I hope you were a^good lit-

^'Louise’s house, and didn’t tell any
stori&.”
“I only told her the one you put m“
up to,” said Gerald. (
"I put you up to? Why what on
.earth do you mean?” cried the sur

“Why,^vhen she asked me to have

President Wilson talks peace, but
nevertheless this government is
working overtime in efforts to com-
plete a flotilla of submarine boats at
the very earliest minute possible,
which reminds me that even a coun-
try which is at peace with itself and
with all the world believes in the old
adage which says “In times of peace
prepare for war.”

The Lord blessed us with an ideal
day yesterday and we are glad to
know so many took advantage of it to
participate in the various periods of
worship throughout the day.
A most encouraging increase was
noted in the Bible school. The loyal
women with their quarters added sev-
eral to their regular attendance and
that too with so few Knowing of the
larger class room. The loyal men
will have to bestir themselves to
keep in the lead. Many of the Bere-
ans are threatening to forge ahead
since they are to have the room up
stairs.
Next Sunday the loyal men will
meet in the auditorium. We shall
have just the same privacy we had
up stairs. The partition between the
auditorium and the Bihle school room
will be’ down and there will
other class to detract. Hence, we are
expecting afiother good increase next
Sunday.
The Missionary Society had charge
of the service at the morning hour,
presenting the work of the organiza-
tion. An offering of a neat little sum
was taken. We want more of the
wopaen of the church in this auxil-
iary.
Dives’ message from Hades was
the topic of the evening sermon. A
splendid audience inspired us.
Another very encouraging Endeav-
or meeting was held. In no depart-
ment of the church is there such
encouraging evidences of progress as
«*%
is this work of the young people.
Still there are some who feel they
have no part nor parcel in such
work. We do hope that every young
person of the church will soon enlist.
Let the offiers of the church bear
in mind the meeting of the board this
evening at 7:30 in the study. A full
attendance is earnestly requested.

Bridge is Accepted.
The Rusk Press-Journal says the
following about the new bridge re-
ently accepted by the county com- }
missioners: ^
Judge C. F. Gibson and Commis- j
sioner J. D. Long went to the Neches
river Wednesday to inspect and ac-
cept the new bridge recently com- J
pleted by Frank King, contractor,
across the river on the Palestine
road. The bridge was found to be -in
accordance with contract* but the l
Anderson county commissioners ar-
rived too late to give a joint inspec-
tion with our court, and therefore it
was not formally accepted.
Later—Judge Gibson received a
phone message from the county
judge of Anderson county Thursday,
stating that he had examined the
work thorqughly, and pronounced it
the best wooden bridge he had ever j
seen, therefore it was accepted by j
the commissioners’ court of both
counties.
