Christan Meeting Closes.
Rev. J. I. Reagan who had
been conducting a meeting at
the Christtian church closed his
meeting Sunday night. As a
result of his labors there was
one addition to the church, the
rite of baptism being performed
Sunday afternoon in Sandy
creek. Bro. Reagan lett Mon-
day for Petersburg, Texas, to
conduct another meeting.
Meeting Postponed.
Last week we published an
announcement of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian meeting to
"begin the first Sunday in June.
Since that time it has developed
that it will be impossible to be-
gin the meeting at that time on
account of the busy season of
the year, and it is therefore
indefinitely postponed.

Naomi Mes«ersmith sang a beau
tiful solo, the accompaniment
being played by Mrs. Ruth
Hatch.
Then came the sermon bv Bro.
Stewart. His theme was the
life of Silss Marner, as told bv
George Eliot in her novel by that
title. The minister followed the
development of the sordid nature
of man when robbed of the in-
spiration of life, as illustrated in
the experience of Silas Marner,
when he was robbed of his hon-
or. his sweetheart and his ambi-
tion through the treachery of a
friend. And later, when robbed
of his hoarded wealth, he saw
how baseless was the dream of
its power. Then the pattering
footsteps of infancy wandered
into his life and Silas Marner be-
gan anew his interrupted life.
The moral was the purpose of an
ambition, and the godly princi
pie which un erlies it. The
closest attention was given the
discourse by the large audience
which filled the auditorium.
After the discourse the doxol-
ogy was sung by the congrega-
tion and Rev. J. L. Gajge pro-
nounced the benediction.
On Weduesday night the Senior
class gave their play, "Galliger,
at the auditorium. This comedy
was written especially for an oc-
casion of this kind. On account
of the absence of the male mem-
bers of the class the faculty had
to supply three characters and
one character had to be bor-
rowed from a lower grade. But
it was a clever production, and
elicited a great deal of applause.
The play embraced three acts of
spirited action and delightful
music relieved the monotony be-
tween acts.

Hail Storm Dees Damage.
Tuesday afternoon about 6:30
o'clock there came up a wind,
rain and bail storm which at firat
did not apnear to have done any
serious damage, but after in-
vestigation seems to have in-
jured wheat and young fruit
considerably. Wheat in some
places is reported to have suff-
ered from ten to ftftv per cent
In a few instances the damage
is said to reach seventy-five per
cent, and in one or two instan-
ces the damage is said to be
total.
The range extends to about
fifteen miles from town. About
Louis the grain has suffered
from ten to forty or fifty per
cent. The same may apply to
Lincoln, Potts and neighboring
communities. Along Sandy the
damage is said to increase,
Joe Fraser near town seems to
to have suffered entire loss of
his wheat. Others along Sandy
suffered heavily.
Young fruit was thrashed from
the trees, whether from the wind
or hail is not definitely known.
In some places small buildings
were blown down, window
lights were knocked out by un-
usually large hail, and people
sought shelter of friudly dug-i
outs hard by.
School House Wrecked.
During the wind and rain
storm Tuesday night the school
house at Victory, four*and a half
miles southeast of town, was
literally blown away, not a piece
remaining intact Strange to
say, the small out houses stand-
ing near by were not injured in
any way. There was $500 Insur-
ance on the building and $100 on
the seats. The seats were all
ruined but perhaps four or five.
The wind must have been
cyclonic in its nature, as there
was no other damage reported to
buildings in that community.
Wheat and other grain suffered
from the hail, the damage vary-
ing in different localities.

SbHpefc a 1885
We rounded at China Grove,
eight miles northwest of Eldora-
do. and nooned at seven-Mile,
pulled out in the evening for the
running springs, southeast of
town about three miles. While
drifting the cattle across the
country, about a thousand head,
about a mile southeast of town.
Little Georgie and Cap were
bringing up the drags. Little
Georgie. always looking "for
something, espied about a half-
grown bob cat in a mesquite
tree. He rode up under the!
tree, expecting to pick him off.
The cat quit the tree, Georgie
quit his horse, took after the
cat, run him in a dog hole close
by, reached in and pulled him
out. Cap rode up to see the fun.
Georgie said, "What will l do
with him? I want to send: him
back to the old states.". Cap
said, "Tie a knot in yonr hand-
kerchief, put the knot in the
cat's mouth and tie it good at
the back of his head," which he
did without much trouble. He
mounted, we pushed the cattle
along slowly. All at once I
heard Georgie call, out for help.
That bob cat had worked his
forefeet loose and he reached
down into that old horses flank,
and George had a cat that he
wanted to turn loose. The
horse, as common with horses,
went pitching and balling right
into the heard, which stampeded,
and we had a good deal of ex-
citement getting them stopped.
Georgie lay on the ground, hold-
ing his head, while we proceeded
to rope his horse and take the
cat off of him. W. H. Drew

Post Office Inspector Here.
Last week C. P. Malone, post
office inspector, with headquart-
ers at Lawton, was here looking
over the books and records of
Postmaster Barnes. He said
that he never found a set of
books kept with greater accuracy
than those of Mr. Barnes.
Every thing was kept right up
tUpHu«| Suday.
Last Sunday afternoon was a
great day for the Baptist church
here. At a baptismal service
thirteen were immersed in San-
dy in the B. F. Smith pasture
just west of Eldorado. The
pastor. Rev. L. F. Hodnett, read
a lesson from the scriptures,
and prayer was offered by C. B.
Pendley of Potts. After which
the following were led into the
water and received the confirm-
ation of church membership,
by the ordinance of baptism:
C. Ei Babb, Kenneth Wise, Mrs.
J. M. Mallard.. Dtldy and Robben
Austin, Hugh Mclnturff, Grace
Thompson, Coy Smith, Palma*
Wilda and Edith Campsey, and
Lucile and Gladys Hudspeth.
After the close of this service
Rev. J. I. Reagan for the Chris-
tian church immersed Mrs.
Arthur Weeks.
Willie Kennedy "Hooked Up."
Willie Kennedy, the deformed
pencil peddler who makes this
territory every few months,
went over to Hobart a few
weeks ago and was married to
Miss Bertha F. Thurmond of
Duke. According to reports,
thia is Kennedy's third matri-
monial venture, he* having* ac-
cumulated quite a little family
by a former alliance. His new
bride is eighteen years old, and
is said to be sprightly looking.
Mr. Kennedy made the race
for county clerk of Greer
county against Floyd McNeill
when he ran for- a fourth term,
and was like Mr. McNeill de-
feated by another opponent.
But when it comes co getting
married Mr. Kennedy is not
easily outdistanced.
Painful Spider Bite.
Miss Florence Thompson is
suffering from a spider bite on
her face. The insect bit her

tho result she neglected atten-
tion to the small injury until
it became so painful that she
was forced to consult a physi-
cian Wednesday.
