fortv-three persons taking the
step leading to a better life,
which should be considered a
great achievement. Evangelist
Mathis is a plain talker, does
not clothe his arguments in flow
cry terms, but breaches the gos-
pei as written in the Book of
Books, making it so plain and
so easily understood that none
can err in their course. His
methods differ from many evan
lists in that he does not appeal to
fear or sympathy, but relies
solely on winning men md wo-
men to Christ by appealing to
their better nature and urging
them to use their judgment in
acting. His work here showed
that this method is satisfactory
and productive of much good.
During his ministry here has
made many warm friends who
will long cherish the memory of
his acquaintance.
Miss Inez Winery, who so
ably directed the large chorus
must come in for share of the
praise for the success of these
meetings. The music was ex-
cellent and is evidence of her
superior ability as leader. Her
solos we're enjoyed by everyone.
She has a strong voice, wonder
fully adapted to the class of mu-
SIC she sings. She is modest,
unassuming, lady and her beau
tlful songs and charming manner
won her a place in the hearts OF
the people of Meade.
Prof. c. c. Carpenter, pianist,
was also a valuable assistant and
must receive no less credit than
his co-workers. He is a skilled
musician, and has way of maxi
ing friends with everyone with
whom he comes in contact, He
also has a good voice and his
duets with Miss Winery were
very pleasing. He seems able
and willing to fit in anywhere,
and whether taking temporary
charge of the music or the meet
ing he does so with an ease and
earnestness that is to be COM
mended. His straightforward,
friendly manner and gentlemanly
conduct during his stay with us
made him host of friends.
The part taken by the local
pastors, and those who assisted
with the music contributed much
to the final success and all are
deserving of special praise.
We would like to give each an
individual mention but lack of
space forblds, suffice to say they
have done a noble work and such
work brings it's reward to those
who continue faithful to the end.

difficult circumstances and also
that might do something to
revive thrift and industry which
was chacteristic of this section a
few years ago..
First we shall notice the virgin
soil of this section. 1t is a soil
which will produce, with seasons
favoring, 1000 lbs. of cotton and
thirty bushels of corn per acre.
These are conservative estimates
of what this land will produce
under favorable conditions, and
they are far above an average
estimate Of what Arkansas land
will do, considering those, that
nature has supplied this COM
unity with an unusual ammount
of soil fertility, and in addition to
this, has given this land a deep
clay, and in some places an al
most chocolate subsoil. $50

benefits you desire from it are
concerned, but on thisland you are
not troubled with such. The top

to farm successfully. A man
has to use strictly scientific
methods in buildings up. prepar-

1t is also first class for pastures
and grazing purposes. Scarcely
any better section can be found
for stock raising.
Native grass and Japan clover
grow in abundance, and an un-
usual amount of strength in
them. You can have excellent
meadows without any expense
and but very little trouble, from
which you can save roughness
for your stock through the fall
and winter and some to spare
