ASBURY N. e. CHURCH REVIVAL.
Still Progressing With lSl Conversions 1874
Have Been Received on Probation.

Interest is still increasing at the As
bury Methodist Episcopal Church Re-
vival Meetings, and Pastor Vaughan
S. Collins, is having unusual success.
To date, there has heen 181 CONVEX
sions, of which 1874 have been received
into the church on probation.
The Sunday School is busily rehears-
ing the music for the Missionary ami
versary, which comes off Sunday even
ing, March 2nd. The selections prac-
ticed last Sunday, under the leader
ship of the chorister, Walter o. Hof-
fecker, were quite pleasing. The
school sang them with vim.
There is quite little rivalry among
the several classes, as to which one
shall be the banner class this year in
Missionary contributions. Such emu
lation in so good cause is commenda-
BILE. Next Sundays offering will be
eagerly noted by several of the leading
classes.
The Lovefeast, to be held at 9.1t
a. m. March end bids fair to be the
most largely attended of any held il
recent years. This service is one fol
members only, and was formerly held
with closed doors. While modern us
age does not close the doors it is still
understood that only members, (ol
converts and those earnestly desir
ing to become Christians, are to b.
permitted to attend this service.

PAY TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN
PUBLIC EXERCISES AT THE
SMYRNA OPERA HOUSE, FRIDAY.
Given Under the Auspices OF the High School
Literary Society Which Closed With an
Exciting Debating Contest.

The Literary Society of the Smyrna
High School rendered an interesting
program at the Opera House last Fri
day afternoon, in cOmmemOratiOn of |
the birthday of our martyred Presi
dent, Abraham Lincoln. The stage |
was fittingly decorated with American
flags, while suspended from the centre
of the stage was good likeness of
Lincoln, draped with our National
emblem. Before the exercises began
the High School Orchestra of six pieces
discoursed popular music.
The President of the Society, Miss
Irma Lewis, called the meeting to or
der with few remarks, and from that
on, a nicely prepared program follow
ed. The School journal, edited by
Miss Eva Foxwell, was neatly arraug
ed and well written. The personal
matters were prepared in an amusing
style, and the audience highly enjoyed
the "spicy" hits.
Interesting Debate by the Students.
The debate, "Resolved, That the
United States should have Commercial
Reciprocity with Cuba" was one Of
the best features of the afternoon.
The debaters had nicely prepared pa
pers, and every one entered into 1t
with earnestness and enthusiasm. The
debate became quite exciting towards
the close and elected marked atten-
ton, The judges appointed by the
chair, Mr.. VIM. Wright, Mr.. W. B.

INCOMING TOWN COUNCIL
MAY RAISE THE TAX RATE

THE CLOSE OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.
Coal Alone Has Cost Town $1,000 More Than
LastYear, to Say Nothing of Improve.
ments That Need Consideration.

From present indications it is more
than probable that the next Town
Council, to be elected Monday, will
have to raise the tax rate to meet the
deficit that will likely occur in the
treasury. The increase in the price of
coal alone has cost the town over $4,000
more this year than it did last and the
prospect for cheaper coal is not indi-
Gated by market reports. In addition
to this there may have to be a larger
dynamo placed in the electric light
| plant to meet the demand for better
service, and this will be another Sc
rious problem for the new Council to
solve. Secretary Anthony is now get

cial condition of the town in shape
