Gates Meeting Closed.

| The wonderful revival closed Sun
day night. Rev. Gates left early
Saturday morning and went to
Trenton to hold a service. From
there he went 10 Clumbus, Miss,
where he is now engaged in meet
ing, we presume somewhat similar
to the one held here. The total
aggregate of conversions here was
between 500 and 600, Last Sunday
there were additions to the church
es as follows: First CHRISTIAN
Church, So; Methodist, 81; Cumber-
land Presbyterian, IS; Baptist
Church, "a; Presbyterian. Alto
gether there have been over ABS adj
ditions to the churches since the
fall meeting began, of that number
$50 are converts during the meet
ing which began about the LIST of
March this year. Nothing like this
was ever known in Union City be-
fore. There were many converts
from adjacent territory and the
churches where they reside are
thereby benefited. 1t is thought
that the total number of converts
will reach almost 600 resulting
from this meeting.
