The blacksmith evangelist" who has
been arousing such religious fervor at the
Congress Street NJ. p. Church, will leave to-
day for Baltimore. where he will conduct a
series Of revivals. His work in Georgetown
has been most successful. As he himself
expressed it, "A roaring fire has been
started out of wet and scattered wood; a
conf2Sration of religious feeling is raging"
He has worked long at the forge, he said,
and knows well how to start and fan fire
Next week a boy of fifteen, who has won
fame as revivalst, will conduct the SER
vices at the church. The services will be
made more interesting through the intro
duction of fine soloist. The revivals will
probably be kept up as long as the interest
Is sustained.

New High School.
AS soon as Congress convenes those most
absorbed in school improvements here will
take up the new high school project again
and push 1t until success crowns their ef-
forts. The West End is in such need Of a

on with unusual earnestnesS. For the num-
Der here seeking the higher education the
facilities are wholly inadequate.

Real estate agents here hint to the effect
that there will soon be some big surprises
in real estate circles on the west of the
creek. According to reported prospective
deals and anticipated improvements, the
winter will rot snow under the present
activity. Though the depression that the
country has passed through has not been
noticeable in Georgetown, the present con-
dition Of things is in the nature OF an alb
normal rally. It's fat market getting fat
out with renewed vigor.
