The revival at the Christian Church

during the meetings. Services will con-
tinue over tomorrow (Sunday.) No

The people of Snow Hill, regardless
of church affiliations, are very much
pleased that Bishop Moore has seen fit
to send Rev. DR.. Prettyman back TO
Snow Hill, and extend cordial greet
ing to him and his wife on their return.
DR.. and Mrs. Prettyman have won
golden opinions during their residence
here. Mr.. Prettyman is not only an
eloquent preacher and faithful pastor
but is felt to be power for good in
the community. DIR. and Mrs. Pretty
man will reach home Thursday, April
first.
Bishop Moore, at the Wilmington
Conference last Saturday. told the
ministers that they ought to pay their
bills. He stated that he had received
more bills against ministers at this Con-
ference than at any other Conference
in his life. A man who will not pay his
bills. said the Bishop, is dishonest and
has no right to service in the ministry.
This was pretty plain talk from the
Bishop and indicated that he had no
sympathy with such actions. 1t is true,
too, that when the ministers will not
pay their bills, it does seem inappropri-
ate for them to attempt to teach others
the true way of life.
Thieves entered the kindling wood
mill of Mr.. w. b. Miller in Snow Hill
last Saturday night and stole a lot of
valuable brass fixtures, such as valves,
cups, injectors, ETC., which cost in the
aggregate considerable money. The
thief or thieves covered up their tracks
so completely that there is no clue to
their identity. 1t is not very often that
we are called upon to chronicle such
doings here and we believe that this
robbery was committed iby some one
other than resident of Snow Hill.
However, we hope the guilty parties,
whether they belong here or elsewhere.
will be caught and punished.

The reputation of the stone roads
which have been constructed in this
county under the supervision of the
State has become so wide spread as to
attract the attention of road engineers
in other sections of the country. This
week Mr.. John F. Watkins, representa-
tive of the Charles Warner Company,
of Wilmington, DEL, extended an in
vitation to the members, County Engin-
eer Wilson and Highway Commissioner
Price, on behalf of the Company, to
visit Snow Hill and Berlin, Nd, to view
