dil church ami 15 conversion?
have resulted up to date with
good indications! for many more
besides a great spiritual uplift in
many of the ohurch meinbeu.
Tho first night of the meeting.
Evuugehst Hemphill told the
congregation that "This is no
protracted meeting; it is going
to be a revival mooting." At
that time some thought ho was
making a broad assertion but
now Ihey begin to realize that he
meant what he suid.
Rev Rock has ben preaching
some powerful soul-stirring ser-
mons urid for a man who has on-
ly been in tho minstry for five
years his equal would be hard
to find. The meeting Tuesday
evening was one of the best if
not the best of the series. An
increased spiritual condition
seemed to be noticeable and six
persons stepped out on the Lord's
side and bowed at the altar two
of them bsing middle aged per-
sons. On Monday night 12 members
of tho Apache Gospl team came
over nnd conducted the evening
services. Each member of the
team gave a short but impres-
sive talk giving his experience
in Christian work and giving ad-
vice to others.
One of the speakers advised
young girls not to marry young
men to reform them. He said
you never see a man marry a wo-
man to reform her because they
will not mnrry the kind that need
reforming then why should a
wntnan marry a man to reform
him?
After they had closed their
testimony meeting an altar call
was given nnd 7 of the young
folks went forward nnd bowed
fit J the altar: many otheru went
forward and gave their hands
for prayer.
Services each afternoon but
Saturday: and Sunday morning.

gin on Thursday also. On Than
my so muca came that they gia
ned until after midnight and
men guinea again an day Friday
and Saturday.
Though tha prica of cottoa is
low some of tbe farmers hay
had such an abundaat-crep that
it is. putting considerable noaey
into efreulatton. TM nke fatf
weather gave atariy of tha far-
mers a chance to pick their awn
cotton thus saving about $15
per bale on what they paid out
in former years or three eenta
per pound in the bale.
Last week one farmer stated
that they picked about 81 bales
and hnd six or seven in. the field
yet. This amount at present
prices would make around $1300
which after paying one feurth
or $300 for rent weuld leava
$900 for the crop.
