Meetings at the Christian Church
Closed Monday Night.

The series Of evangelistic meetings
which have been in progress at the
Christian church in this city for the
past four weeks, closed Monday night.
The meetings were in charge of Rev.
Chas. Arthur Coakwell, the popular
pastor of the church, who was ably as
sisted by Will G. Laye, Of Lock Haven,
Penna., who was in charge of the sing
ing. During the meetings Rev. Coax
we'll preached many able and thought
ful sermons and the result of his efforts
are twenty-eight additions to the
church membership, and renewed inter-
est in church work has been aroused
among all the members. Will G. Laye
the singer who assisted him is splen-
aid tenor soloist and an able chorus
leader and his singing and that of his
Sunbeam chorus as we'll as the regular
choir have been features of the meet
ings which have attracted splendid au-
diences at each service. During his
stay in Leon Mr.. Laye has made many
warm friends, for he is a congenial
yonng man who will make friends wher-
ever he goes.
Rev. Coakwell and Mr.. Laye go to
Decatur City next week to conduct a
four weeks meeting at the Christian
church in that city which opens on
Monday evening.

"a Jolly American Tramp" Coming.

"a Jolly American Tramp" melo-
dramatic comedy drama replete with
striking situations and startling sensa-
tions, is underlined at Van Werden's
opera house for Wednesday night Feb.
18th. The piece is from the pen of the
author of "a Poor Relation" and
Peaceful Valley" two plays that have
made Sol Smith Russell famous. In it
Mr.. Kidder portrays an American
tramp, not as a repulsive, ever-to-be
Stunned Outcast but as man who
through misfortune was compelled to
wander upon the face of the earth, but
whose heart, we'll knowing his own
distress, still bleeds for others woes
and who offers even his own life to
help right the wrongs of others even
more unfortunate than he. The locale
of this drama is laid in rural New Eng
land, and the motive is a greed for gold,
a greed with which even husband is
sometimes overpowered, and for which
he terribly wrongs his life's partner.
The story is complex and will be we'll
worked out by a competent cast of
gifted players. In the cast are such
we'll known actors as Charley McWil-
liams who portrays Happy Jack the
tramp: Elizabeth Taylor, the we'll
known prima donna, and the dainty
little soubrette star, Pearl Hoye, and
the comedy lrishwoman, Elinor Dunbar.
The cast is exceptionally strong
throughout and contains fourteen stars,
all artists

county agent tor the Columbian Stock
Powders, and has a full line of them
on hand in barrels, pals and smaller
packages as we'll as their stock dip, and
customers can secure them from him at

the country have used them with great
success and the company has thousands

use with any farmer or stock raiser.
They are equally good for cattle, horses,
hogs and sheep and as milk producer
can not be euualled.

COURT HAS ADJOURNED
The January Term of Court was Ad-
journed for the Term by Judge
Evans Friday Evening.

Judge Evans completed the work of
the January term of court by holding a
night session last Friday evening and
returned on the evening train to his
home at Corydon.
About three days were consumed in
trying the case of W. ]. Davis VS.. Bessie
Davis last week. The parties had been
divorced at former term of court and
were in dispute over the custody Of
their child, little boy. Seventy-two
witnesses were used in the case and
after hearing all the evidence Judge
Evans decided that the boy should be
placed in the care of Mr.. Davis parents
upon their giving bond that they
would properly care for him and educate
him, with the provision that the boy
should be taken on the last Friday of
each month to the home Of Mrs. Davis
parents, and remain there until the fol-
lowing Sunday. The court also ordered
that the parties to the suit should each
pay the fees of their own witnesses, and
the court costs should be equally di-
vided between them.
Judge Evans also heard four inebri-
acy cases Friday night, the parties be-
ing j. II. Acton, Mart Pickering, Will
LOrey and Frank Coffin, and he ordered
that they should be sent to the state
hospital at Knoxville for a period of
three years, but instructed the sheriff
to hold the warrant so long as they shall
absolutely refrain from the use of in
toxicating liquors, but the sheriff was
ordered to take them to Knoxville the
first time they took drink.
