1.-The good old summer time" has
come indeed, and its heat is prostrat-
ing, but we have the cons6ling fact
that this season is rather on the wane.
To intensity the feeling of heat, the

Messrs. Marion Walker, John Gram

Mr. Draughty, all Of Lloyd, attended
services last Thursday evening in the
M. E. Church.
The Methodist revival services closed
last Friday evening. Congregations
were good from the beginning and much
interest manifested. The reglar pastor
Rev. J. E. Woodward, who Is held in
highest esteem by all, faithfully de-
livered his Gospel message and substan-
tiating these truths by his life con-
strains people to better life. Rev
Mr. Hardin of Monticello came over
Thursday and preached some powerful
sermons. We are not surprised that he
is so highly esteemed by the Monticello
people. AS a result Of these services,
the church here is on higher ground,
several conversions and accessions to
the church.
A "show" also came to town and
held forth Thursday and Friday nights
and did not clear expenses while the
church was filled, thus proving the pre-
dominance of good over evil some
times.
The Epworth League will give a pic
mic Friday at the cascade. Everybody

We too have been feasting daily on
luscious melons the gifts CT friends.
Mr. d. G. Charles, Mr.. j. H. Patter-
son, Mr. Williams and Mr.. VIM. Rob-
berts are sending us fine ones indeed.
Many thanks.
