Quoted the singing, assisted by from
to 600 in the choir. 1t is said to be
the greatest meeting ever held in Ok
lahoma. There were l,032 professions

men who never had gone to church,
prOfeSSed Christ, and have joined the
church. After the meeting closed all

fist 2lO, N. + South 100, Presbyterian

know, not so many. The meeGing
was held in Convention Hall, seating
capacity 1000 beside the gallery, and
also stand was erected about Is or 20
feet from the East end of the house,
and the chairs all set in the rear.
There were from to 600 of the best
singers you ever heard. Had two pi-
amos, one at each end of the stand,

was the greatest thing l ever saw, and
the finest music l ever heard. Fe

Buy a Steam CruSher.

The City Council is negotiating for
a steam crusher and within a short
time will be remaking the streets of
this town. 1t was a mistake, so far as
Columbia was concerned, to try gravel
instead of crushed stone and permit
the sale of the stone crGsher, but the
present council is undertaking its cor
rectiOn. The cost of fixing the streets
with stone is more than with gravel,
but much cheaper when its service
has been measured. UnqueStiOnably.
the people of this town will heartily
approve the council in its present
course and should our Fiscal Court do
likewise it would mark the beginning
of road building in this county. If a
crusher was owned by the county
many miles of good road would be
built by the citizens, but as it is moth
ing is likely to be done. This ought
to be done at the April court and be-
fore the year would close there would
be ample evidence to justify it.
