Give them call. Considerable interest was manifested in the Baptist cause in Green Forest at the ordination services held Saturday. An interesting sermon was preached by Rev. Roddy of the First Baptist Church of Eureka Springs, who also conducted the ordination ceremonies. It was de- cided by the church to make an effort at once, looking to the erection of church shouse, and plans were insti- tuted which it is earnestly hoped will result in tho erection of a highly credit able place of worship in our town within a few months. The assistance of the entire town will be sought in this enter prise.

petition al this time.
Is every lawyer who signed this petition
knows, il was circulated many month, ago, at

not fairly represent the sentiment Of the bar
