Rev. VIM. Martin is conducting one
of the most successful revivals ever
| held in recent years on this mountain.
1t has been going on for 16 days and
the interest is still increasing and
large crowds are attending the servic-
es. Bro. Martin is not a sensational
or an emotional preacher, but an aOle
| teacher of the Bible, one of the best
we ever had on this mountain. To
know the man is to love him. want
to compliment the people of Pryor
Ridge, Marion County, for their noble
and generous conduct in providing
for his wants and needs. No people
has excelled them and God is blessing
them and their children wonderfully,

church and Sunday school has been
organized with SO students. Jas. Bry-
ant has been elected superintendent
and Henry Pocas assistant superintend-
ent, Miss Leslie Roberts secretary and
Miss Louella Sloan assistant secretary,
and a splendid selection of teachers

ant, Mrs. Mamie Bryant, Mrs. Mattle
Disheroon, Mrs Esther Bvars, Henry
Pocas and Mrs. Annie Rust My ad-
vice to the officers and teachers is to
see good order is kept. and allow no

John Byars, Jr. and Miss Ethel Dav-
is were married yesterday by Esq.
Jas. Lusk. We wish the young couple
a long and happy life.
Key Rust wants it understood he
has gone to work.
A large crowd came out yesterday
from Tracy to attend the baptizing,
but on account of the water not being
clean and clear the preacher put the
baptizing off, which was a disappoint-
ment to lot of people who will go
farther to see people immersed than
they will to pray for dying man. No
harm is ever done when such people
get disappointed, to my way of think
ing All is not gold that glitters and l
am glad we have christians that don't
stoop to such low methods as some do.
Curiosity seekers and critics will 60 a
long ways to crafty their curiosity ap-
petite.
Well, am amused at some of our
Tracy City business men. l wonder
if they really think they can fool peo-
pie and make them believe their con-
duct and example as whole are
worthy of emulation. Well, I'll let
you down easy gentlemen, but l frank
lv say there are some Of you | would
hate very much for a son of mine to
emulate, most especially those of you
who so far forget yourselves as to crit
icise good men and women who have
tried to influence the boys and young
men of Tracy City to give their heart
and life to God. | don't think calling
christian men and women cranks anu
closing church doors against honest,
conscientious christian people ploduc-
es very good fruit, but, "As ye SOW,
so shall ye leap" Some of you pat
ronize the "yaller hen," | am told,
and don't think that is very compi-
mentary. That deputy sheriff signing
such notice casting a reflection on
himself as an officer, and every other
officer looks to me like confession of
inability to protect from the vicious.
We don't need such officers. We want
men who can and will protect the peo-
pie from the lawless element
