spent several days last week Wis. |
iting Miss Grace Baehr. Violet
and Daisy Maxwell of st. Louis
are isiting relatives here. Sever
al from here attended Mr.. Caleb

week. Mrs. Mae Green and
daughter of Columbia ere visit

baby of Mexico visited home
folks here Sunday. Edgar Lee
and wife and daughter are visit
ing in Mexico. Norvin Maxwell
visited friends in Columbia last
Saturday and Sunday. AS we
all know, some of our Rush Hill
girls are attending school there.
The big meeting is yet going
on and the sermons are getting
better each evening, if such
thing could be. There have been
eleven additions to the church so
far, some by confession. some by
letter. A full list of these will
be given next week. Sunday.
June q, the crowd at church i'm
the evening was estimated at 900
to 1000, and last Sunday even
ing the crowd was much larger.
at least 1000 people being in the
tabernacle and perhaps 100 or
200 outside. Some of the older
citizens say this was by far the
largest crowd ever seen in Rush
Hill. Anyone who misses a ser.
mon by Bro. Reavis misses a
great treat. Miss Grace Knoebel
is organist. Bro. Leon Harper
plays the cornet and Bro. Leon
ard leads the singing. A large
choir each evening and the music
and singing are exceptionally
good.
Mr.. Editor you should have
been with us last Sunday, as We
noticed IN the Message last week
that You enjoyed the dinner SO
much at Littleby. We had fine
basket dinner here last Sunday.
1t certainly didn't look like hard
times, to look at those long
tables filed with everything
good to eat. After the diuter
was spread upon the table, Bro
Leonard offered thanks, and al
least 400 were here to participate
in the feast. Almost every farlily
in town had brought dinner, and
people from every direction in
the country. We had a lovely,
hospitable day. In The after.
noon, at 2:30, Bro, Reavis gave a
sermon to the men, which hear
ing was well attended.
Miss Barbara Rea~is of Mex
leo was visiting'in town last SIM
day.
Henry Stuart finished thresh
ing 30 acres of wheat few days
ago which averaged about 10
bushels per acre. We did not
see the wheat but were informed
the grain is small, not plump.
but of good quality as wheat
was last year. Many farmers
have been expecting 25 to 80
bushels per acre, and of course
are. disappointed in the yield. We
presume Henry Stuart's crop is
a pretty fair average but there is
wonderful crop of straw.
j. l.. Carnes, who suffered a
pretty severe paralytic stroke
about two weeks ago, is not re
covering as rapidly as he could
wish. He is very impatient to be
out on the road attending to
business.

the fund is completed the commission
will take up the question of the kind
of memorial that will be selected,
this depending entirely upon the re-

most enthusiastic, and expressed the
opinion that, Judging by the number
of subscriptions that are only waiting
for an opportunity to be turned in,
the fund will assume such generous
proportions as to assure the erection
of magnificent memorial.

OF more than ordinary interest is
the annual report of the Anaconda

serves increased.
Improvements instituted at the
mines and smelters during the year
were especially noteworthy. These
will help reduce mining and reduction
costs. During the year output of re.
fined copper was less than for 1912
and the cost per pound of copper pro-
duced was slightly higher President
