The meeting begins Easter Sunday
Every tfa ing look* favorable and
we expect a great revival. Addi-
tional seating capacity of 200 it
being added this wmk.
The annday school was remark-
ably good considering the weather;
275 being present. All classes are
full and growing by leaps and
bounds. Fifty new scholars were
enrolled Sunday, 44 of them in the
celebrated Brotherhood class. The
class now numbers 100 fine looking
intelligent men from every profess-
ion and business represented in the
city. WE DO THINGS. Don't you
forget that patent fact. We are go-
ing to do some more. There are bet-
ten things ahead always. We are
still adding new members. Every
man in town not connected with a
Sunday school is urged to attend.
In three minutes Sunday the
School raised $305.00 for building
balconies in the church to seat 200
more. This is absolutely to take
care of our growing school as well
as the congregation that favors us
with their presence at preaching
services. Especially will it be need-
ed during the revival to begin East-
er Sunday. Our collections at Sun-
day school never fall lower than
$50.00 per month, nearly $12.00
last Sunday. We don't count in the
attendance any but those actually
there. We have recently reorga-
nized the cradle roll but do not
count them in the attendance. We
have a live Sunday school orches-
tra and our music is something to
appreciate, but the way for you to
know what we are doing is to see
for yourself. So we will look for
you Sunday.
The Shepard class of young men
have organized into a chorus.
There are 38 in this class and they
have decided to make it 50 by
Easter Sunday. They entertain the
Fishers class of young ladies at the
home of Bruce Braddock next
Friday evening. The Altus Meth-
odist will come out the last of the
week.

J. R. McMAHAN ANNOUNCES
We are authorised to announce
the name of J. R. McMahan as a
candidate for councilman of the
second ward, subject to the action
of the primary March 18,1913. In
placing the name of this progres-
sive business man before the peo-
ple, we feel that his many enter-
prising deeds commend him to the
consideration of the voters of his
ward. He has been here since the
town was in its swaddling clothes,
and helped it grow and prosper
in its moist palmy days of prosper-
ity. When anything came op that
required financial support, one of
the first men to become interested
was J. R. McMahan. He did not
rush into investments without
first counting the corft, but after
duly weighing the proposition in
the balance of his own good judg-
ment if he found that Altus would
be the beneficiary he did not hesi-
tate to give the full force of his
influence and money to the pro-
ject. the railroads and every town
building influence acknowledge
the imprint of his financial genius.
He is the kind of man to look
after the business of the city.
When a man has made a success of
his own business it is safe to pre-
dict that he will look after civic
matters with e^ual caution and
judgment. When casting your bal-
lot in ward 2 for alderman, it will
be to your interest to consider Mr.
McMahan's candidacy.

Major T. H. Lee, one of the pio-
neer citizens of this county, who
lived on his fine plantation two
miles southwest of Duke, died at
his home Thursday night of la3t

years. Major Lee was one of thoes
time-honored landmarks who de
voted the sear and yellow leaf of
life to helping in the pioneer work
of making this a land worthy of
building a home and rearing a de-
serving family.
ATTEND THE FAT

Quite a number from this section
attended the fat stock show at Ft.

agreeable on last Sunday but there

well attended at both morning and

est was* shown. One converslM.
At three o'clock in the afternoon
the pastor and a number of the
members of the church held ser-
vices in the county jail. A heart-
felt sermon was preached and the
persons present seemed to appre-
ciate it.
There were sixty-five present at
the mid-week prayer Jtieeting on
last Wednesday night. The ser-
vice was conducted by Bro. Star-
key. Some important business was
attended to in church conference
at that time. Bro. W. A. Adams

wefek.
The Ladies' Aid met on Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock and did
quilting. There were thirty five

tably.
On Thursday and Friday of last
f.ieek IRev. Moore| and Rounds
conducted a Sunday school and B.
Y. P. U*. institute at the Baptist
church. The work was thorough
and very ably presented. Many of
the Sunday school workers of the
town took advantage of the insti-
tute and a number of the teachers
took the examination leading to
Kings Teacher's Diploma. The
time has come when a person can-
not teach a Sunday school class
unless he has the proper creden-
tials. He must have a diploma
showing he is qualified to teach
The Sunday school at the Baptist
church is working to that end. ..
It was decided at the Sunday
school Sunday to divide the
church building with a solid slid-
ing door and re-organize the Sun-

Mother! Don't scold your cross,
peevish child! Look at the ton-
gue 1 See if it is white, yellow
and coated! If your child is list-
less, drooping, isn't sleeping well,
is restless, doesn't eat heartily or
cross, irritable, out of sorts with
everybody, stomach sour, fever-
ish, breath bad; has stomach ache
diarrhoea, sore throat or is full of
cold, it means the little one's
stomach, liver and thirty feet of
bowels are filled with poisons and
foul, constipated waste matter
and need a gentle, thorough
cleansing at once.
Give a teaspoonful of Syrup of
Figs, and in a few hours all the
clogged up waste, undigested food
and sour bile will gently move on
and out of its little waste clogged
bowels without nausea, griping or
weakness, and you will surely
have a well, happy and smiling
child again shortly.
With Syrup of Figs you are
not drugging your children, being
composed entirely of luscious figs,
senna and aromatics it cannot be
harmful, besides they dearly love
its delicious taste.
Mothers should always keep
Syrup of Figs handy. It is the
only stomach, liver and bowel
cleanser and regulator needed—
a little given today will save i
sick child tomorrow.
Fall directions for children of
all ages and for grown ops plain-
ly printed on the package.
Ask your druggist for the full

of Senna," prepared by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. This is the

COUNTY JUDGE
The editor in making his rounds
last Friday stepped into the coun-
ty judge's office and found there
Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Youngblood
of Kirkland, Texas, who had just
been married. The young lady's
name was Miss Lillie Johnson, and
the couple seemed just as happy
as if they had been married in a
church by a regular parson. How-
ever, Judge Williams can be as im-
pressive as ai parson, a- wls -
denced on this occasion.

number in attendance and to do
better work. It was also decided
to use the graded lesson serins in-
stead of the International lesson
series.
We expect to make our Sunday
school the very best in the state,
both in size and proficiency. Come
and join us and we will help one
another to more thoroughly study
and understand the Bible. A man
that don't know the Bible is just
half educated. Come and receive
the welcome that awaits you.
Bring your children and your
friends and we will strive to make
the time both pleasant and profi-
table.
