FIRST PRESBYTERIAN.

We were glad to see the large and attentive audience at the church services last Sunday at the moving picture building. We again invite you to our ser- vices, and will try to be of some help to you.
 The choir is doing good work in their weekly practice, and we hope for this interest to con- tinue, as the singing means much in the regular services. The quartette has begun work now and will be a regular part of the evening services.
 Four other members were elected to membership in the c. E, Society Sunday evening. All members were very much en- unused by this addition, and we are now looking for better work among the members. The lesson was one of interest, lead by MT. Roland Moses. The meeting next Sunday evening will be lead by Miss Jessie Hartley. Let all members be present.
 The public is cordially invited to come and worship with us next Sunday at Il a. m. and 7:3O D. m. Pastors Prayer Circle Monday 3 D. m. at the home of Mrs. E. T. McCreight.

Why Not Boost?

Yes, why not boost Holly Grove? boosting causes thinking thinking causes actions, actions make us grow. It takes people to make city, not empty houses and vacant lots. May I say Holly Grove has room to grow then let her grow. We need many more things for Holly Grove. What are they? Some of them are: waterworks, electric lights, city hall, a mayors office, and court room, a sample room, 20 more dwelling houses, a wholesale feed store. a bic warehouse, a small lumber yard. a bakery and confectionery, a small cotton oil mill. Yes, and several other things. Now, by cooperative effort we can have some of these things. The town of Holly Grove must grow. It will grow. Now, why not be one of the fellows to push. ], Let's make room for 100 more people each year, and then we will have room for another 100 the next year. A world of money is leaving Holly Grove each year that should remain in home in- vestments, like 1 have named above.
 There is no question in my mind, whatever, about the suc- cess of greater part of these suggested needs. If we will only take hold and pull together. If we will open our doors, our town will grow because of more citizens. More citizens will help us do things.
 Sell your neighbor a lot and let him build him a home, and another house to rent his friend who wants to move to Holly Grove. By this means, and only this, can we get people to come and be one of us. By these coming, we can soon do more and bigger things. If you will simply cast backward, three or four years, you can not deny the fact that our demand has grown faster as we have opened new business, built new houses. To- day the demand, for aeeomoda- tiens can not be supplied. Pro- perty and rents increase as the number of businesses and citi- zenship of 8 town increases.
 Let's start a Boosters Club' and see what we can do.
