cHuRCH NOTES

Elder Offer, of California, is carrying
on spirited revival at the A. NJ f,
church in south Emporia.
The sociable of the Christian church
will be held on next Tuesday evening,
March Sth, at the residence of Mr..
Jarrett, on Mechanics street, between
9th and 10 avenues. All are invited to
attend.
The quarterly meeting services at the
NJ. +. church were largely attended Sun
day and were characterized by more
than an ordinary degree of interest.
The financial arrearages for the year
were all made up, and the pastor in
charge as well rs Rev. Rice, the excel
lent presiding elder, went to the annual
session of conference, feeling that the
work of the past year affords reason for
great thankfulness and satisfaction.
Rev. Mr.. Heudy, the new Presbyterian
pastor, occupied the pulpit of that
church Sunday morning and evening
to the entire satisfaction, so far as we
have been able to learn, of his congrega
ton. The earnest, thoughtful character
of his iniabOry discourses produced q
very favorable impression, and afforded
hopeful earnest of the capabilities Of
Mr.. Hendy, both as q preacher and an
efficient instrument in the promotion Of
the general interests of the church
The Episcopal church choir is now
assisted by an orchestra of five pieces
the cornet, by Z. c. Ripley; violin
Frank Cook; flute, Eugene Butterworth
piccolo, G. w. Paxton, and the organ
presided over by Miss Anna Goddard
The music provided at the services Sun
day was thoroughly enjoyed by til,
congregation, and the new features con
sidered quite q success. Additional in
terest was lent the occasion by the OK
cellent singing of Miss Waterbury, who
we understand, will sing in the choi
while she remains in Emporia.

A necktie festival was held at the
Maxon school house on the 18th inst. for
the benefit of the Union Sunday school.
The receipts were 1928, which financially
places the school in good working con-
dItion. 1t was to have been held on the
night of the terrible snow storm, but its
p0stponement proved to be no detriment,
for the good sleIghing brought out a
large crowd. Among those from the
city we noticed the smiling c0uutenance
of our old friend Charley BToadwell.
This, years gone by, was his stamping
ground. The program for the even
ing was good, especially the
discussion of chicken, pie, cake,
ETC., which was participated in by the
old and young alike, without any
discernable diffidence on the part of any.
The singing was good, led by j. In
gals mot the senator, but Jim), who can
lead a choir, build house, or run a saw
mill. The bass was manufactured by
the Gilliland boys-they are bass team.
But the best feature of the exercises, in
our humble opinion, was the song by the
juvenile class, and solo by very youth
full Miss Tweed, who evinced good talent
and early training. The p. o. and fish
ing pond created some amusement for
the young, besides adding somewhat to
the treasurer's receipts. Taking it all
in all, it was an enjoyable and profita-
BILE entertainment. Mrs. Alice Shaw
yer, sister-in-law of G. d. Burdick, is
on flying visit from Maysville, Colo
RADIO, to her friends in this and Green
wood counties. She will also visit
her mother in Fulton county, Hi
nois, before returning to her mountain
home. Mrs. n. j. Burdick, of New
ton is visiting friends here She has a
son attending the Normal. :. Miss Sue
Wheeler contemplates an overland trip
to Colorado in the spring with a party
that is to start from Americas about the
list of May Jim Childers and Hi.
Smith intend going 10 New Mexico in
the spring :. Mr. Root will move TO
Americas in two or three weeks, having
rented his farm. -. Chris. McColm has
his new house nearly completed. We
learn that party of the young and old
people gave the family of r. j. Rudisill
very pleasant surprise last Tuesday
evening. On the 18th, A. c. Abraham
was presented with valentine which is
the light of the dwelling, the joy of the
household, and the delight of its parents
