BAPTIST MEETING
 BEGINS TONIGHT REV. GIBSON 10 PREACH SERVICES TO BE HELD EACH AFTERNOON AND NIGHT
 IN NEW CHURCH.

A series of evangelistic services will begin at the Baptits church here to- night, and will probably continue through the next two weeks. Rev. F. F. Gibson, pastor of the First Baptist church of Fort Smith, will preach each afternoon at o'clock and each night at 7:45 o'clock. Mr. Gibson will arrive from Fort Smith on the 6:30 train this afternoon, and will preach his first sermon tonight.
 He will be remembered pleasantly by the people of Conway as having led one of the best metings ever held at the Baptist church three years ago. He is earnest, forceful and direct in his manner of preaching, and is alto gether free from all manner of sensa- tionalism and meaningless proposi- tions.
 The song service will begin each evening at 7:45 o'clock. The after noon services will last just an hour. MT. Gibson will be the guest of Col. c. W. Bruce and family while in Con- way.
 Rev. J. J. Hurt preached in the See ond Baptist church of Little Rock yes tordav morning and the laymen con- ducted services in the church here. Mr. Hurt returned in time to preach here last night After the sermon Herbert Cox was received as candi- date for baptism.
