'Re-opening Of Fairview Church.

The re-opening of the Fairview M.
e. church, six miles north Of Leon
last Sunday was an enjoyment to all
who attended After the morning
service by the pastor Rev. M. H..
Keast, about sixty remained for the
, basket dinner and there was a SPLEEN
did afternoon meeting, and the f.
nances were practically all provided
for by those present.
The Fairview church has recently
been repaired and put in fine condi-
ton and there is renewed activity
among the members. For many years
before a church building was erect.
ed the people of the community
gathered for worship in the old brick
school house, located across the
road from the present church site.
Ministers of various denominations
conducted the services. Methodism
seemed the favOrite denomination. In
1876 Rev. Hull, of Leon, held a sue
cessful meeting, lasting three weeks,
in which many were converted. AS
a result of this meeting, and the
| work of the Sunday school, Levi
Lewis, superintendent, the Fairview
church was organized with about for
ty members. Among the charter
members were Arneys, Lewis, Greens,
Davis, Coslers, Machlans, Ledfords
and kellers. Fairview was at first
associated with Leon, but the name
of the circuit was later Green Bay.
and still later Weldon, while in 1898
Van Vert and Fairview began the
support of a pastor.
In 1891 the present church was
built, the lot being donated by W..
Riley Keller and wife. In addition
to the aforenamed members we now
find Thompsons, Howells, Johns, Ov-
erholtzers, Burnetts. Lantz, Henrys
and Flints. The cost OF the church
was $1,000. The church has had a
number of pastors, all of whom have

Nothing Bat Words of Praise for LOu
Martin Go. Which Comes to Leon
in the Near Future.

Read what the Savanna Daily
Journal, Tuesday, January 20, 1914,
says regarding the Lou Martin Co. =:
The Lou Martin Stock Co. opened
their engagement in Fulrath's opera
house Monday evening with the
play, THE Boy from Home" The
attendance was large and must have
been gratifying to the management
as this is the initial appearance of
the troupe in this city. However,
if the reception given the company is
a criterion of their popularity there
is every indication that they will
play to big houses during the re-
mainder Of their stay in our city
Messrs. Windisch and Martin appear
ed to have been fortunate in their
selection of people for their cast as
the company is without doubt the
best balanced of any repertoire com
pany which has ever appeared in Sa-
wanna, and this Is saying good
deal as there has been some mighty
good ones. The play last evening
was simple rural comedy drama
and was we'll acted. There was NO
weak number in the cast and the
players were accorded hearty ap.
plause throughout the bill. In addi.
ton to being good performers the
members have good appearances and
the parts are also we'll dressed. The
cast includes Leulah Justice, Minnie
Alderman, Ethel Barr, Al Jackson
Marvin Landrum, Bob Sutton, Lou
Martin and Frank Hawkes., musical
director.
The specialties between the acts
are no small part of the entertain
ment. The double turn by Jackson
and Barr is deserving of special men
ton. These artists are very pleasing
vocalists and also introduce a clever
sketch which takes with the audi
ence. They were obliged to respond
to several encores and even then the
audience would have appreciated an,
other turn. Marvin Landrum also
proved to be good entertainer and
was repeatedly called back.
The play this evening is delight
full comedy, THE Earl and The Girl
A diamond ring will be given away
The attendance no doubt will be
large as we have heard only favor
able comments regarding the play
last night.

An Interesting Family.

We have heard of couples who
were ambitious to rear a base ball
team of nine boys all their own, and
OF their often succeeding, but all
such are beaten a block by a worthy
couple residing over in Decatur
county, who started out early in
their matrimonial life to fill the old
"rigamarole' familiar to every man
or woman who was ever boy or a
'tomboy' employed by children
from time immemorial to decide
which of them would be "it' in start
ing their games. They now have ten
of them as follows: IRA, Ora, lea
kora, Ohm, Elisa, Folisa, Nicholas,
John, and are we'll ahead of schedule
time with pair of twin girls duly
named, Queva and Quava, and the
chances seem fair that their ambi-
ton will be crowned with success
should no change occur in the do
nestle administration, and the en-
tire list of fifteen completed with
