upon your neighbours machine
to do the harvesting you will like

Beginning Thursday night,
June 10th, Rev. T. A. J. Beas-
ley, of Ecru, Miss, began preach
ing series of sermons at the
Baptist church, thus assisting the
pastor, Rev. w. ]. Epting. These
services have been we'll attended
and the meeting is still in progress
at this writing. Rev. Beasley is
a plain, practical preacher of the
gospel. He is wonderfully gifted
in language, has q pleasing per-
sonality and uses great many
apt illustrations, but avoids sen
sationalism and all high pressure
methods, so largely used by many
evangelists of the day. So far
there have been no visible results
but who can say that no good re
suits can come from series of
sermons so replete with logic,
pathos and practical Christianity?
The meeting is expected to close
tomorrow night.

How to Judge Tobacco

On no point is the average smoker so ill-informed as that of judging a cigar. Nine times out of ten. upon being han ded a cigar, he will hold 1t to his nose, unlighted, sniff at the wrapper with a critical air, and deliver his verdict in a self-satisned manner. This characteristic maneuver is always a source of amuse- ment to any tobacco man who happens to observe It. There Is only one way to ascertain the quality of cigar, and that 1t to smoke 1t. No expert will pass judg- ment on "a cigar until he has lighted it and smoked 1t well down toward the mid de. The first and most important point
