Mrs. Pace and daughter, Ethel, were
in McMinnville shopping last Tuesday
morning. am in a little error in
my items as l saiu there was nothing
from "Uncle Tom" l looked for his
letter as | always do, but did not no.
tice it. | found it later and it is GER
tainly a goOi one. 1t is my idea there
is a great deal of sound truth in it if
every person would study it and look
at it in the right way. How true it
is where be talks about a few men
owning the industries of the country
and compelling poor men to work so
hard and lose their job if they dis
obey his command. Many times as |
am going to and from McMinnville,
| pass the factories and see men in
the offices, their feet erected almost as
high as their head, reading while 9TH
err poor men no more able to work than
they are, are Shaving in their factory.
1t will be this way as long as the cap
italists have the rule.

The revival meeting which has been
in progress at the Courthouse, closed
Sunday night. 1t continued to grow
in interest and attendance until the
close. Rev. G. E. Hardy is a learned
exponent of the Scripture and has
been doing some f~orceful gospel preach
His words have been reaching
the hearts of his hearers and his efforts
are being attended by results. On last
Sunday an all day service was held,
with preaching at II a. M, 3 p. III.
and 8 p. m. A number was converted
and joined the church during this
meeting We understand the preacher
was compelled to make some reproof
account Of being disturbed at the
Tuesday and Wednesday nights SER
vices. People who don't know how
to behave themselves ought to keep
out of public until they learn how.
