The revival meeting conducted by
Evangelist J. B. Culpepper, a**isted
by his son, Burk, and Frof. i. A.
Carroll, music director, closed Tues-
day night with a special service at
the M. E. church, south.
The universal opinion and com-
ment on the meeting was that it was
almost u sin to close when so much
good was being done for our town
and people, but all things must have
an end.
Many were the truly Christian
protestations of gratitude and af-
fection* heaped upon the beads of
our brother workers as they took
their departure for Jennings, their
field of labors. Many kind expres-
sions were heard in connection with
the wives of the Rev. Culpepper*
who were with them in our city. We
were also glad to have Bro.^ Marion
Culpepper with us the last live day*
of the meeting. He is a very bright
young man and a good preacher and,
above all, is a man who deeply rever-
ences his parents and loves liod.
Kev. Culpepper and Ills helpers are
a great power for good, and Southern
Methodism i* proud of them, and we,
the son* and daughter* of all state*,
can only envy Georgia whose sons
they are, and hope for them to visit
us again.
It can be said, without exaggera-
tion, that this has been the most
successful revival ever held in Still-
water and the work accomplished
will prove a blessing and benediction
to our people.

father and told him she had taken
poison and would die. f octors were
summoned and although they em-
ployed every possible remedy to save
the young woman's life, she peace-
fully died at about l o'clock in tho
morning.
