GROWING INTEREST
In the Meeting at the First
Baptist Church.

Rev. R. E. Neighbour continues
to preach excellent sermons at the
Bapsist church every evening to
crowds that fill both the main au-
ditorium and the Sunday School
room. Morning services are also
held, which are mostly song services
with short talks.
The North Carolina evangelist is
making friends every day, and his
discourses are fervent and persua-
sive. Thursday night there were
two confessions and four or five
others stood up for prayers.
Last night the crowd was again
large ard still more interest was
manifested.
DR.. Jenkens, the pastor, began
Wednesday night by asking the
ladies to leave their hats at home, or
remove them during the services,
and as result! the merry widows"
have almost disappeared. The re-
moval of the big hats that Dame
Fashion has decreed for this season,
has greatly pleased everybody, be-
sides, as DR.. Jenkens says, Women
look better anyhow with their hats
off,"
The meeting will continue as here
tofore, with special prayer services
in the smaller rooms at 7:15 each
evening and the sermons at 10 a. III.
and p. m.

REV. R. E. NEIGHBOUR

A busy day has been planned by
Rev. r. E. Neighbour at the Baptist
church for Sunday. The meeting
has taken a deep hold upon the
church and community, and Mr.
! Neighbours preaching has created 6
great deal of serious thinking on the
part Of those who have heard him.
He breaches the old time gospel of
salvation with an earnestness and ell
oquence that are charming. Already
there has been an unusual number
of conversions, and we predict many
more as a resultsof the 5earnest eff
forts that are being put forth.
Sunday will be busy day. In adj
dition to the regular services at II
a. m. and 7:30 p. m, there will be
sunrise prayer meeting; at the Sum-
day-school hour there will be an
evangelistic service for the Sunday
school, and at 1886 p. m. a service
for men only, at which time Evan
gelist Neighbour will preach on the
subject: THE Fast 1Man." Both
the evangelist and Pastor Jenkens
have extended a cordial invitation to
all the men and boys of the city to
attend.
The singing by Mr.. Ruby and his
large chorus choir is a great feature
of the meeting. He is decidedly one
of the best leaders ever in,Hopkins-
vile. AS a soloist he sings with
great tenderness and feeling. His
solos are sermons in song.

Flood Tide.

Flood Tide.
HOIDREGE. Neb., oct. 30.-(Special Tel
gram1- splendid audience greeted Con-
gresham Norris at the opera house here
tonight, and he made one of the most tell
in gspeeches of the campaign. His argu-
ment was confined largely to the discus
sion of national issues. and a refutation or
the many misstatements and misleading
charges against him by his opponent in
the campaign. The fusion papers In the
district have published a statement TO the
effect that h~etreated lightly a bill intro
duced at the last session of congress max
ing it a crime for a member of congress to
accept a fee for services rendered to any
public service corporation, and introduced
an amendment purporting to make a joke
of the whole matter. The bill under dis
cussion was not the bill they refer to at
all, but was simply a bill to codify the
criminal laws of the United States, which
are already in effect, and against which
the democrats were using all kinds of fill
clustering tactics. and the Norris Joke"
practically was a rebuke of democratic
methods,
Another misstatement made out OF whole
cloth is that Norris has built an eXpen-
sive home some place in Wisconsin,, Mime
sofa OF MlCnlAdus Nv 'hN' AN 1870 ~
make it his home. He offers a deed to
the place II they can find 1t and declares
the only residence he owns is his home at
McCook. He explained his position SO
far as Speaker Cannon is concerned and
gave his reasons for opposing him for
speaker. He discussed the tariff and ex-
planned his vote upon the ship subsidy
bill" preferrlng that American ships should
carry the United States mail than that IL
should be done by foreign vessels. He
completely riddled every proposition used
by mis- opponent In the campaign against
him and In strong contrast TO Mr.. Ashton
made a much better impression as a man
to be trusted with the best interests Of the
people in the national congress. eli also
made a strong argument for the election
of the republican state ticket, every man
on It. He made friends and votes by his
manly, clear and earnest discussion o%thS
issues now before the people.

The county commissioners levied for each
school district the exact amount Of money
it asked for, unless that amount would
exceed a levy of Is mills.
The valuation of lands in Dawson county
was made in 1904 and again in 1908. The
valuation of personal property, including
railroads, was made each and every year.
This accounts for the increase In land tax
over that of 1907.
Following are the tracts Of land quoted
by the democrats as instances Of increase
