| of Muskogee boasts OF the banner
SUNDAY School CT the state, but the
| difference in numbers that separates
them and the Ardmore class is so
small that it may be easily over
come. aad a concentrated effort Will
be made the coming week TO break
all records for attendance next
Sunday. If they make good, the seat
ing capacity OF the church will be
taxed TO the utmost, and it was evil
dent to everyone present that they
fully intended to fulfill that promise.
During the heated term the attend
ance at Sunday School fell off CON
siderably, but with the advent OF
cooler weather a marked increase
was noted yesterday. The Baracca
Class have moved into their new
quarters fitted up in the basement
of the church, where they are bet
ter able to take care or melr ever
increasing membership, and Judge
Harred. the teacher, urges every
body to come and visit the class in
their new quarters. The Phllathea
Class will now occupy both rooms
upstairs, their present quarters and
the room formerly allotted to the
Baraccas, this feature is appreciated
by the class as they were badly in
need of more room. Both Of these
classes are doing a great deal OF
good, but to derive the most benefit
from them it is necessary to become
a member. Worthy material is CON
stlntly being sought and it Will al
ways pay one to investigate their
manner of doing things"
Superintendent Richards stated yes
terday that if every member enroll
ed would come out next Sunday and
bring one new member with them
Ardmore could not only boast of the
banner class of the state but would
have one of the very largest classes
in the southwest as well.
There is evidently determination
upon the part of the superintendent,
the pastor and the school, to fulfill
this wish, and in all probability
everyone in Ardmore will be invited
to join the Sunday School OF the
Broadway Baptist church during the
coming week, as an effort will GER
tainly be made to make next Sun
day memorable one in Ardmore
church history.

ONE ON ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.
Spectacular Seizure of Barrel That
Did Net Contain Beer.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. %
Seizure of the little red wagon and
the spotted pony" which was dis
covered as being used in the deliv-
cry of intoxicating liquors, has made
the state enforcement officers act
i've in seizing other conyeyances
which they believed to be similarly
employed. An incident yesterday
proved, however, that all barrels dc
not contain beer.
State Enforcement Officer Caudlll
saw a wagon going away from one
of the depots with a barrel standing
upright and the driver in an appar-
ent haste. The officer set out after
the wagon and when he told the
driver he was under arrest, the driv-
er said something which those on
the sidewalks would not repeat, and
started TO drive on. Caudill jumped
into the conveyance and grabbing the
driver by the neck, ordered him to
submit. Words followed, whereupon
the driver was directed to go to the
police station, and he replied that
was precisely what he intended do
ing At the station he asked the
officers arrest for an assault, and
the officer asked a counter writ,
charging the use of abusive language.
Neither was issued. The upright
barrel, it, developed, contained lard
and not beer.

keen rivalry between them in regard
to weekly attendance, more particu-

fifty to seven hundred children with
on average attendance Of possibly four
thousand.

NASHVZLLE CHURCHES

Nashville can well be called a citv
OF churches. Located as it is in the
heart Of the South, it affords a fine
situation for all denominations, and
about every known faith has estab-
lished a church in our city. Churches
are always a means of refining enlight-
eminent to any community. The in
iuence of the building itself is Of
a most elevating nature. There is al
ways a sacredness, which goes along
with a church building.
Churches of nearly every known
denomination are found among the
Negro population Of Nashville. Dot
ted all over the city can be found
structures, from the one-room of some
tenement, used by some followers, to
the most modern and u~p-to-date
houses of worship.
Several of the church buildings are
very spacious two-story bricks, with
seating capacities OF about 1900, and
are easily worth 100000. Many of
these churches are worth $4,000 and
have seating capacities of from FIVE
hundred to one thousand five hun
dred, while most of the smaller ones
have seating capacities of from one
hundred to FIVE hundred and are worth
from $500 to $4,000. The valuation Of
the colored churches of Nashville
reaches easily the nillioh-dollar mark,
and their valuation is being augment
ed greatly each day by the installa-
ton of many new practical appliances.
