Home In Lex
ingtOn.

The accessions to the First Baptist

gan Jan. 5, had aggregated 81, up

profession, the rest by letter.
Two more services were he'd by
Rev. John W. Porter, of Lexington,
yesterday and DIR. Porter returned
to Lexington this morning. The adj
ditions at these meetings are not
included in the above total. The

in every way. DR.. Porter as an
evangelist has fully sustained the
high reputation as an effective pull
pit orator that had preceded him.
Great crowds have attended the
meetings and the church has been
greatly revived and strengthened.
The new additions bring the present
membership up to about 900.
The singing led by Mr.. w. B.

REAPPOINTED
Pikeville Boy To Have Another
Chance For Navy.

Representative Langley has ap-
pointed Corbett Ellsworth Phillips.
of Pikeville, to fill the existing va
clncy in his district at the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Young Philips last year passed the
mental examinations, but failed to
meet the rigid physical requirements
of the academy. He has been order
ed to report for a physical re-ex-
animation. and if he satisfactorily
passes this, it will be unnecessary
for him to take the mental exami-
nations over. as he is already quail
fed.
