The Revival Meetings.

Evangelist w. A. Sunday began his
Work in the Biggs building last Sundap
morning, preaching to full houses al
both services. In the evening the house
which is seated to accommodate 900 per-
sons was filled, almost every seat being
occupied. Mr.. Sundays style of preach
ing is good bit upon the Sam Jones
style, using considerable slang and some
OF his remarks are rather broad. There
is difference OF opinion among the
people as to his style, some criticising
while others applaud his course. To
careful observer it looks AS if he
does his roasting and slangy talk for
the purpose OF attracting people to the
meetings. The preaching is very point.

favor of any by passing owe, faults

In doing, this. i,e-llas l. sl -varv- positive

for reconcentrated lives.
On Sunday evening he preached on
the authenticity. inspiration and au-
thorty Of the Bible as the word of God.
He drew upon history literally to show
that the nations which had rejected the
Bible had always failed, it had always
blessed men and nations where it h; d
been accepted.
From impressions thus far made it is
safe to assume that much good will be
done before the meetings close. Mr..
Sunday expresses himself as much pleas.

interest being all that could be expected.
The large chorus choir, under the lead

in no small degree to the interest OF the

far short of what they are giving free

For the first time in the history of Leon the
republicans have placed in the field q straight
republican city ticket. Although majority
of the voters OF the town belong to that organ
into our local contests. and it is q fact beyond
dispute that the outcome OF those contests
have not always been satisfactory. large
number Of our citizens are confirmed IN the
belief that public interests are always best
the men chosen to conduct the affairs OF our
city are made responsible to some party or
ganfzation for the character Of their admins
tration. Hence the appearance OF republl-
can ticket composed OF men who will give our
city clean, honest and economical manage
The above in last weeks Journal caus-
ed many of the voters of Leon to smile.
It starts out with barefaced falsehood,
for it is a matter of record that the
same little gang headed by the editor
of the Journal placed a straight repub-
lican city ticket in the field two years
ago, and it met with the same fate as
the straight republican ticket this year.
In both elections the candidates on the
straight republican ticket were good
men. and the fight was made not upon
the candidates but upon the little clique
of would be bosses who think no man
has right 70 hold office unless he be g
republican. But fortunately for the
welfare Of our city government good
majority Of the voters and Taxpayers
are not of the same opinion. The cleo
ton last Monday demonstrates very
plainly that the effort Of this little rinl
of politicians will never result otherwise
than in their defeat.
