Lynchburg, Va. voted against
liquor license Saturday by major
ity OF 1876 in a total vote OF 1,95S.

by the w. G. T. U. near each pre-
cinct; all day prayer services at one
church. and marching and singing
OF $50 well organized children.

The State Board of Health is find

Of late throughout the state in the
matter OF splitting on trains and street

for several years and has doubled its
efforts during the last few months. DR.

constantly making trips to different
parts OF the state, investigating com.

REVIVAL HAS OPENED
Services at the Grace M. E.
Church Were Noteworthy
On Sunday.
HOBSON AND SMALL HERE.

Most suspicious was the initial open
ing Of a series of evangelistic meetings
at Grace NJ. E. church Sunday evening
in which Grace M. e, and First NJ. E.
congregations are to unite in a cooper
ative spirit under the efficient direc-
ton of Eyangelists Hobson and Small.
For a week both churches have been
holding preparatory services in antici-
patton of this great united effort and
as Il consequence wonderful enthusi-
asm as been aroused. 1t required on
ly the arrival of the evangelists, who
are fresh from a great revival just
closed at Nappanee. to unite the two
sister churches in what bids fair to be
a revivalistic movement of great pro-
portions.
Rev. HObSOn, who is a strong preach
er. is of Quaker extraction and was
reared in California. His able assist
ant is Attorney Small of Anderson. a
gentleman of prominence in that city,
who has recently forsaken his profess
siOnal and business interests that he
might devote some time to this kind Of
humanitarian work.
Both men are Wonderfully Jealous in
this field Of work and are predicting a
great revival in this point of evange-
Iistic effort

style his address being at all times

grammatical, In setting forth the rea-
sons why the world should not be
ashamed of religion as embodied in
Christianity. Rev. HObson pointed out
what the power Of christianity had
done for America. He pointed out
how cosmopolitan the people of the
United States are. being composed Of
almost every nationality on the globe,

ulation the stamp Of christianity on

laws In Australia.
Bushrangers were originally run
away convicts who took to the bush, -
as Australians call the backwoods
and became hOldup men. About the
year 1880 the bushrangers became SO
numerous that they fought regular en-
gaSements with posses and soldiers
sent out to capture them. and this
form of crime continued sporadically
until within recent years. The most
famous of later rangers were the kel-
~ brothers. After many daring crimes
and hairbreadth escapes the Kellys
actually held up the entire village OF
Jerilderie. n S. w. which had q pop
ulatiOn Of 200. Ned Kelly looted the
bank of $4,000. while his three pals
held the men of the village cOoped up
in their homes. Although there was
special bushranging act in force at the
time authorizing the detention of per-
sons supposed to be in communication
with the outlaws. the Kellys were not
heard of again for nearly a year when
they stuck up" the small town of
Glenrowan. in Victoria Here they
were brought to bay. and three of the
desperadoes were shot dead in house
they had barricaded. while the leader.
Ned Kelly. was brought to the ground
with a bullet through the legs. He
