EVANGELIST j. B. CULPEPPER.
Having Pitched his Tent at Higgins
vile is Waging IL Strong War OH
Sin.

Evangelist j. b. C%uIpepper has pitched
his tent in Higginsville. All the churches
there have united in a great revival meet
ing. A great double. barrelled crusade is
being made on sin under the generalship
of the southern evangelist.
Rev. Mr.. Culpepper is one OF the hardest
devil fighters in the nation and he is
making a desperate effort to run Satan
out OF our sister city. AS in Lexington,
the devil is pretty well organized in Hig-
ginsville and it is hard to get him "on the
run" But the evangelist is giving him
some hard ticks and the good Christian
people are helping Mr.. Culpepper in the
fight. The merchants close their stores
and attend the morning services. The
great tent is pitched in the central part
of town and from it the fight is waging.
The tent seats about 1900 people and at
The evening services it is comfortably
filled. Mr.. C%uIpepper seems to be much
stronger physically than he was while
here. He will close his meeting and fold
tent next Monday. A large crowd will
probably go down from Lexington tomor.
row. While at Higginsville Rev. MIR.
Culpepper and his sonsare being enter
tanned at the hospitable home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alonzo Barnes.

of the extreme heat, while this week it
has been cool enough for light wraps in

always one extreme or the other.
The members of the Lexington band
spent a most delightful time at the resi-

ington, last Friday evening. The boys
went out in response to an invitation
from Mr.. Walk and his wife. While they
looked forward to a pleasant time and a
hospitable welcome, their expectations
were more than realized. Every prepara-
ton had been made for their entertain
ment, and they were given a hearty
welcome and made to feel perfectly at
home. The band boys TOOK their instru-
ments along and enlivened the occasion
with numerous choice selections. An
abundance of cool, delicious refreshments
were served the guests, who duly appre-
ciated this feature, as the evening was
exceedingly warm. The guests left at a
late hour, thanking Mr.. and Mrs. Walk
for an evening of rare enjoyment.
