A years subscription to the
Pioneer is only $500. That is a
small sum of itself and we con-
fdently believe that every sub
scriber is given full value for
the money. Our books show a
number of subscribers to be in
arrears ranging from only a
week or two to several months,
and these amounts added to-
gether amount to a considerable
sum. 1t will be admitted that
the Pioneer has abstained from
asking it's readers through the
columns of the paper, or other
wise to pay up. In large meas
ure this has been unnecessary
from the fact that most of those
on the list have been very good
about settling subscription ac-
counts. But the fact that Christ
mas is near at hand and that re-
membranes by the thousands
will be offered on that day, it oc-
ours to the management Of the
Pioneer that a settlement of past
subscription accounts and a cash
renewal for another year would
be an appropriate remembrance
of the Pioneer. If you have
never tried a stunt Of this kind
on your local newspaper, as a
Christmas offering, the expert
ment is worth a trial; if you have
tried it before, we know you will
do so again for the satisfaction
and value you get out of it.
Please accept the thanks of the
Pioneer in advance for respond
ing so unanimously to this invi-
tation.
Sheriff Kelley arrived in Ro-
nan yesterday morning on the
stage and was the guest of A. E.
Piedalue and family over night.
Mr.. Kelley says that his office is
kept busy all the time with work
pilling up every day. While
here he stated that he thought
Roman was entitled to a paid de-
putty. If he induces the board of
county commissioners to so view
the matter, he will be entitled to
our thanks besides.
Quite a delegation of Poison
people were visitors in Roman
last night, coming over to ex-
plain the why's and wherefores
of the proposed electric railway
between Poison and Dixon, via
Roman. A special meeting of
the Roman commercial club was
called for the purpose Of listen
ing to what the gentleman had
to say, and another meeting has
been arranged for Monday night
There is little more that can be
said on the subject at this time.

2 500 Conversions
Result of Revival
At Norfolk, Virginia Where Re-

thusiaSm Follows Advent of Rev.
Chas. Morris.

Norfolk, Va, May 4-One Of the
most remarkable waves Of religious
enthusiasm has just swept over the
city and over $500 conversions are
the result. The waves began with
the advent of Rev. Charles s. Nor
ris, Of New York, who is conducting
series Of revival meetings at the
Bank Street Baptist Church.
Spurred on by the eloquent preach
ing Of DR.. Morris the residents Of
the North and Fourth wards de-
veloDed an unprecedented religious
favor, and thousands clamorcd at the
church for admission. This enthus-
iaSm ran so high that several large
Factories worked a day or so with
many employees absent. but after be-
ing told by DR.. Morris not to for
sake their employment, the converts
went back to work Reviva1s are
also in progress at other city church
CS.
The many religious enthusiasts
have so crowded the streets at night
that the police authorities have had
to keep the streets from becoming
blockaded. The other night, led by
two converted gamblers, a thousand
persons marched through the streets
singing, shouting and praying.
