Sermons Of Power Are Being Deliv.
cred by the New Pastor at
St. Paul's Church.

The revival meeting conducted by
the new pastor of st. Paul's NJ q.
church, South, is growing in interest
and power.
Mr.. Reid had had much experience
In evangelistic and prohibition work,
and has been successful in both.
Hundreds have been converted and
added to the church through his
ministry. In many local option and
prohibition campaigns he has been
successful, and never has lost in but
one fight-and that by the narrow
margin OF about a dozen votes.-Ex.
The sermon last night on "The
Promise of the Holy Spirit" was
very impressive, and nearly the
whole congregation responded to the
request of the pastor to unite in
praying for the Holy Spirit, in CON
yicting and converting power and
his abiding presence in the hearts OF
Christian people.
The sermon tonight will be on
THE Promise Fulflled-The Power
Bestowed" 1t is the earnest desire
of the congregation that all Chris
tians and friends will attend the SER
vice tonight and unite with them in
prayer for great revival. Miss
Stewart, Of Broaddus Institute, will
sing for the congregation tonight.

HOUSE
AND CHURCHES
Are To Be Built in the Industrial
Addition and Other Improve
ments Are Planned,


East Clarksburg or Industrial as
it has been known is rapidly COM
ing to the front and will soon be as
suming the aspect of real city. The
latest movement is by the board Of
education Of Clark district, which
will materially advance the inter-
ests of that place. The board Of
education has secured six splendidly
located lots from the Clarksburg In
dustrial Company, the original pro-
moters of East Clarksburg, and will
Immediately erect a large and hand
some brick school building OF four
spacious and modernly fitted rooms.
This building VIII cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, and will be
completed for the beginning of the
fall term of school. The lots are
centrally located and command a
pleasant view. Such school build
ing is an improvement that will be
appreciated by all who reside in
East Clarksburg, as it will afford
ample school facilities.
In addition to this proposed i'm
provement, which is assured, the
Baptists have organized a church
there and will build nice churc&
edifice. The Presbyterians have
secured two lots for the erection of
a chapel, and work will begin there
on in a few days. it being the inten-
tion to erect very pretty and mod
ern building at a considerable out
lay of money.
School houses and churches are
essential to the progress of any com.
munity and with these East Clarks.
burg, or Industrial, will be well
equipped. In fact they place Indus
trial in the front ranks in all re-
spects and make 1t most ideal for
home sites.
There are there now about one
hundred residences and it has eight
important factories affording employ
ment to great many persons at
splendid wages. It's streets are
broad and it has now the purest
water that is to be found anywhere.
When the reservoir is completed on
Industrial hill, this suburban city
will have one of the most perfect
water systems in the State.
Industrial is really an ext,
of Clarksburg, and It's real name is
East ClaTksburg. BY the liberal at.
titude of the owners or founders Of
Industrial towards manufacturing
enterprises, Clarksburg has been i'm.
mensely benefited. The Tuna glass
factory, now building at Industrial,
VIII be the most complete factory OF
its kind in the State, and the COM
pany will be ready to start the fac
tory by October 1, when fully 800
men will be employed. A large force
of men are now employed in the con.
struction All the factories in In
dustrial are enjoying healthy pros.
perity.
The wonderful strides made in the
development of this important addi
ton to Clarksburg has attracted the
attention and received the admiration
Of all this section of the State, but
its present state of development is
merely the foundation for many
great things, which will materlalize

Amidst a general smile the

"Allowed and not paid for

later, we had a conversati o
with John Jenkins, our pre-
decessOr in our place of dig

us of his own experience.
His bills were similarly ski

tackled McCampbell to find
when those bills would come
up for payment. Mr.. Mac
Campbell and Mr.. jenkins
took out the accounts hav-

figured four years ahead,
but Mr.. Jenkins bills had
not been reached in the year

we suppose we will have to
close out on the material and

"Cornfield Lawyers"

are unworthy OF a paper
whose proprietor holds a
high official position. 1t
would not be fair to hold
Ambassador Reid account
able for what a snobbish
editorial employe says, but
it is strange any editor with
brains enough to secure en-
ployment should SO forget
the courtesy due from the
Tribune to the men intrusted
by their constituents with
the important work OF fran.
ing a state constitution.
The Tribune says that "the
Oklahoma convention was
full of 'cornfield lawyers, "
and as if it was intoxicated
by the sound of the phrase
it repeats it's saying: "The
'cornfeld' jurists thought it
wiser on the whole TO wait
until the state was organ.
lied and exploit their nos
/ trums in the halls of the
state legislature" The whole
editorial is written in flip
| pant vein and reveals the
contempt in which the editor
holds these men chosen by
the people of the new state
to frame their organic law.
The editor does not know
what the constitution con-
tains, that, he admits, "wlll
be dieclosed only when the
full text reaches the public y
but he does not have to see
the constitution to be con-
vinced that 'cornfield law
yers" are not likely to do
anything wise.
1t is unfortunate that an
eastern paper should be in
the control OF a man so pre-
JUDGED against the west.
That there is no ground for
such prejudicN goes with out
saying. Oklahoma was set
tied up by as intelligent and
patriotic a class OF people as
can be found in the union.
No state has brighter pros
poets and there is every rea-
son to believe that the con-
stitution is drawn in accord
ance with the wishes of the
citizens.
If the Oklahoma conven-
tion had been filled with De-
pews and Platts the Tri-
bune's editor would be gush-
ing over their craftsmanship,
but as the delegates owe
their places to the farmer
rather than the railroads
they are dubbed "cornfield
lawyers How long will the
country lawyers, the village
physician and the cross-road
store-keepers continue to
take their political instruc-
tion from men whose ears,
like the ears of the Tribune's
editor, are trained to catch

pocketbook? How long will

BADLY HURT
Ed PARKER TRIES TO STOP RUN
AWAY TEAM WITH DIS
AsTRous RESULTS.

While trying to stop a runaway
team on the Hugh McCool ranch this
morning Ed Parker. of Vermont. was
badly injured and had to be. takeri to
st. Mary's hospital for treatment:
A team hitched to a header box had
been left standing without being tied
and it started off. At first their pace
was but a slow walk but soon quick
ened into a run and two men who were
near attempted to stop the runaway.
Parker grabbed the horses by the
bits but was unable to stop them.
When he let go he was thrown uLder
the wagon, the wheels passing over
his head and shoulders.
Lifting the injured man into a wag-
on, the other man, whose name is I'M
known, drove the nine miles to town
on the dead rur, thinking his fellow
laborer was dangerously. injured. At
st. Mary's hospital the injuries were
found to be of a serious character,
Parker's head being cut so that four
stitches were necessary. His left arm
was also dislocated and his right hand
badly cut. Besides this, Parker is
badly shaken up and it will be sew
eral days before he fully RECEIVERS from
the effects of his adventures.

An Advertising Trick.

One of the most amusing incidents
relative to sleek advertising was a
trick on the Chicago newspapers sever
al years ago. One of the partners of a
firm went into court and filed a bill
of injunction, to restrain the other
partner from sacrificing the goods in
their store at figures far below first
cost, says Burlington, On. j. Enter
prise.
The plaintiff set forth in detail that
his partner had with some insane de-
sire marked all the goods in the store
down below cost. Then he went into
details and showed how different arti-
cles were being sacrificed notwith
standing his protest, and asked the
court to issue an injunction ard re-
strain the fractions partner 1t was a
strange fight and the newspapers took
it up and devoted columns to the novel
case.
The result was that people on the
lookout for bargains flocked to the
store ard purchased goods. Day after
day the hearing for an injunction was
delayed and finally when the free ad-
vertisement had been worked to it's
end, the suit was dismissed without
prosecution, the whole cost to the firm
for thousands of dollars worth of ad-
vertising being about s25
