Revival Meeting Of Black Jack
School House.

Last Sunday Rev. j. S. Lewis
started a protracted meeting at
Black Jack School House, Sun
day night he was reinforced by
bros. Hal Singleton and Ward
Taylor.
Bro. Hal Singleton conducted
the prayer meeting and then
Bro. Lewis preached a good ser
mon from the text Hear We Him.
Monday night Bro. Ward Taylor
conducted the meeting and after
the service Bro, Lewis preached
a sermon from Rev. 20 chapter
and II verse. The meeting was
truly revival from the begin
ming. Bro. Lewis did some of
the finest preaching that it was
ever my privilege to hear and
was helped by two of the best
personal workers that a man
could desire.
There was numbers of Chris
tians who had been living an in
CONSTANT life who confessed
their sins and got right with
God. There was 7 conversions
and 3 reclamations, and the peo-
pie in general was greatly re-
vived, and the good Of this meet
ing will never be known until
Eternity reveal it to the eyes of
men.
God bless you bretheren Lew
is, Singleton and Taylor, we will
pray for you in this great work
for our Lord and Master. X X

STOLEN ORE Is FOUND

The high-grade ore that was
stolen from the Mammoth
National was found Wednesday
afternoon at a point about 300 feet
from the place where the empty
ore sacks were picked up. The
discovery was made by Constable
Williams and Jack Walker. The
robbers had dug a hole in large
anthill, partially concealed in the
brush. and had thrown the ore
into the hole and covered it up,
heaping the earth again into
mound shape. But the work was
done too hastily and the hiding
place was discovered. About
two hundred pounds of the high
grade ore was recovered, but it
is said that few of the large
pieces were missing, the robbers
evidently having carried them off.

JAPANESE TIOBITS

One of the great food delicaics
of Japan is sashimi, a fillet of raw
fish served with soy and condi-
ments. This dish, though highly
recommended by both Japanese
and EuropcaL medical authorities,
is pronounced queer or uncivilized
bv those not born to the custom of
eating it.
When these critics are reminded,
however, of their eating live
oysters with gusto it occurs to
them, says the Oriental Review,
that tho one is at least more
artistic in appearance than the
other. though both may be equally y
palatgble and nutritious.
1t is likely that very few
English people know that the
fisher folk along the DevonshirC
coast are accustomed TO eat laver,
an edible sea weed, and so think il
very odd that the Japanese should
use certain scawccds as an article
of diet.
Ferns, burdockE roots lily buds
lotus roots and bamboo sprouts
are among the japanese vCge,
table not enjoyed by occidental
peoples, while the chrysalis Of IN,
silkworm, rice locusts. the octopus
whales and sea slugs eaten in some
parts Of China and Japan are sure
to shock their fine sensibilities.
And yet the most civilize
cpicurcs relish fnails and frogs
legs, which are just as odd il
their way as hose varieties o,
animal food me ntioncd above
Sharks fine soup, edible birds

WHY GOOD ROADS?

That excellent monthly, the
Worlds Work, for September
relates timely story of the effect
that in an obscure corner of one of
the southern states the sparse
population arose year or two ago
and said to one other: People
90 to places where there are good
oa's. They avoid places where
there are bad roads. We have bad
roads. Few people come here.
Ltt's make good roads and see
what will happen" They went to
work building good roads from
Nowhere to Anywhere. County
and townships went into debt.
Private persons put up money.
By great agitation and much
sacrifice they build road after road
through the lonely woods. And
the se"ffer said that nobody would
ever travel them. At first nobody
did travel them. A lonely,
perfect highway through a thinly
settled corner of the world. 1t
did look foolish to incur a debt
for that. But presently people
camo-in motor cars; then more
came. Somebody discovered that
the land along the highways was
good land. 1t had before been
taken for granted that because it
had not been titled il was Of little
value. Now its price has doubled
in places quadrupled: prosperous
farms already bloom where there
was only waste before. New
