The revival in the NJ. E. church at
Bell City still continues with increas.
ing interest. All the students in the
college have been converted with the
exception of two. Some of the stu
dents, however, were converts before
the revival commenced. The crowds
are large and increasing. Rev. r.
NJ. Walker, pastor of the NJ. E. church
in Texas City, is doing the principal
part of the preaching. The meeting
will continue until Sunday night. The
workers are expecting many converts

Rev. J. J. Jones, of Hobart, Okla.
preached two interesting sermons in
the Congregational church in Welsh
Sunday. Rev. Jones had been solic-
tied to come to Welsh as a supply
pastor, and if suitable call would
be extended him to the pastorate OF
the church. He was pleased with the
country and the people in Welsh, but
his physical condition would not per-
NIT him to locate here, and has re.
turned to his work at Hobart. Next
Sunday the members of the Congrega-
tional church will worship in the
Baptist church.
Last week the Hill Top Oil Company
shipped car load Of oil to New Or
leans, after having treated it at the
refinery, and disposed of it as a lu-
bricant at 81. 90 per barrel, according
to statement made to the journal by
Manager Beeler Moore. A large or.
der has been received for the same oil.
Now that the refinery is in operation
and the producers on the field have
means of disposing of their oil, it is
expected that operations will continue
with much vigor Heretofore wher
the storage tanks would be filled il
would be necessary to close down the
wells, since the Rio Bravo line is nc
longer in commission.

Balm G. Hughes, the New York
practical Joker, began his career in
that capacity by putting up a Job on q
number of unsuspecting friends some
time ago. He went to the trouble to
box up harmless little powder, which
was labeled "Poison to Reaches, u
and this he distributed widely among
his friends. Each package contained
slip announcing that the second box
of the preparation would be infallible.
A number of people were induced tc
ask for this box. The second box
contained the following directions
