A Great Revival-
Such a religious revival as is now be
ing carried on here by Rev. Childers &
Son is seldom seen more than once in a
life-time. An average of 1000 people
havo attended the services every night
this week and sinners by the score have
been and are being converted. On the
streets, in tho homos and business
houses, everywhere, the topic of con ver-
sation is the wonderful work being ac
compiished by tho Evangelists, heart!
iy assisted by the local preachers and
christians generally. Lexington is fast
redeeming the bad reputation she has
borne at home and abroad. Let the
good work go on.

Degenerate man is ungallant to the

edits the Chandler, Ok., News—and
edits it right-facetiously charges tho
editor man of tho rival Chandler Publi-
cist with being "bald headed and com-
pelled to use a Outhrio hair restorer."
And this horrid editor man—this mon-
ster—comes back with tin counter
charge that Miss Effle "is bald in s| its
anti wears switchos, and furthermore
that she is freckled and wrinkled."
