FIRST PRESBYTERIAN.

Notwithstanding the cool day and bad condition of the tent. the Sunday School Rally Day was much enjoyed by a good con- gregation, and the program was one of interest. The absence of the primary Superintendent and some the teachers and members was regretted by these present. We were glad to see present some visitors and trust that we may have the pleasure of seeing those present at every s. s. ser vice, who do not attend else where.
 Owing to the cool weather we will hold all services from now until church is completed at the moving picture room. We are very grateful to Messrs Mitchell and Stimson for the opportunity of holding our services at this place, and hope that every mem Der will show their appreciation by being present at all services. Our prayermeeting will be held held at the homes of the mem bers. Last Wednesday the meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. l. Allen and will be held at the same place next Wednesday evening at 7::3O o'clock.

The Baptist to Build Soon

In addition to the seven new churches now being erected in Brinkley there will soon be another to start. The Baptist have decided to begin as soon as they can have their plans pre- pared.
 From the pastor, Rev. J. G. Harris, we learn that they will probably erect a modern and commodious frame structure, of colonial architecture on the ex- terior. the front having four large colonial columns and varanda or porch. The interior will be of modern design and will have all of the conveniences and comforts possible.
 Good for our Baptist friends. It goes without saying that their church in the new Brinkley will be such as will reflect credit on them and the city.

They intend to make Saturday and Monday special days and the special bargains they expect to offer on those two days will be such as will be worth the while of the trade to watch for.
 This week Saturday and Mon- day of next week the first sale is to be on the best American print fine calico at 5 cts and outing flannel at s. cts.
 The new firm expects to keep up these 2 sales days and propose to make the prices sensational. Watch for them.

Public School Opens Oct.
 18th.

To the satisfaction of every parent in Brinkley the school board has decided to open the public school on Monday, Oct. 18th.
 Owing to the new building being unfinished the school will occupy rooms down town. Sev- eral grades will probably be taught in the city building (Grothe old stand) while other grades will probably be taught in the room next to the ARGUS ofice and in rooms upstairs in the Murphy building.
