Rev. W. A. Tetley in his services at
the Methodist Church Sunday morn
ing strongly advocated a cooperative
revival effort on the part of the local
protestant churches. The matter has
been considerably agitated since,
many wanting to secure Burke and
Hobbs who are holding such a won
derful meeting at Ironton. They will
go from there to Flat River and many
think they can be brought here after
that time. -Fredericktown Democrat

We spied a curiosity on a wagon
here Monday and on a closer in
vestigation found George Davault
with two cotton scrapers and 500
pounds of cotton seed he is going to
plant this spring. He made some
thing over 1877 per acre on four acres
of cotton which he raised last year.
Those who have experimental with it
say the soil in Bollinger county is well
adapted to growing cotton and will
yield a larger profit than most any
other crop.-Lutesville Banner.
The following verses were written
by Sallie Dunn of Sabula in commemo-
ration of her eighty second birthday,
some two weeks ago:
Ihave passed my fourscore and one,
Glory to God and to His Soni
And many a tiresome, weary day
have spent upon my earthly way.
May | be numbered with the blest,
And with them be at final restl
| now have passed full eighty-two,
And here there's nothing good that
can do.
The time is drawing, drawing nigh
When this body worn and frail must
die:
o, may | join that heavenly host
"Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost!''
