Rev. ]. E Honeywell, OF Oak Park.
Ill, preached two sermons Sunday IN
the tabernacle in North Topeka, which
was attended by more than $500 people.
The big tabernacle was almost filled
for the morning service and the big
building was not large enough to ac-
commodate the people for the evening
service. The members of the comm1ttee
which built the tabernacle, Will proDa-
bly, begin making plans to enlarge the
structure at once. People were turned
away from the doors at the evening
service.
Rev. Mr.. Honeywell is an eloquent
speaker. His two sermons were highly
appreciated by the two audiences. Tne
music was one Of the most interesting
features of the day as the large chorus
Is we'll trained and all have excellent
voices. There will be no meeting to-
night but one will he held TUESDAY,
afternoon and evening. Rev. Mr..
Honeywell will address the business
men Of North Topeka Tuesday night.
A large number of church people who
live on the south side of the river at
tended the Sunday night service. 1t is
believed that these meetings will
eclipse those held few years ago by
Rev. Mr., oliver. The Oliver meetings
set a record which have not been
broken and there is much to be done
at these Honeywell meetings If they

The Grange Fairs.
The fairs held by the Pleasant Ridge
and Kaw Valley Oranges were held last
week and were a huge success. The
Indian Creek Grange fair will be held
Thursday and Friday Of this week,
and it is believed that the success OF
this fair will be equal to either of the
others.
At the grange fairs given last week,
were a large number Of exhibits in agri-
cultural and horticultural products as
well as live stock and poultry. The
wives and daughters Of the farmers ex-
hibited large amount of culinary work
and fancy needle work and other things
of that character. Much of the stock.
grain and fruits and, their products
which were shown at these fairs held
last week, will be shown at the Indian
creek grange.
The fair is given annually by these
three oranges in order to show what
can be raised in that section of the
state, for the educational benefits to be
derived and primarily. as one of the
social features of the farmers grange.
The weman always serve dinner and a
large crowd is expected at the Indian
Creek Grange fair which will be held
this week.
