CAMP MEETING At
SPRING HILL IS
GROWING STEADILY
WORD STILL BEING PREACHED
WITH GREAT EJECT AND
GOOD RESULTS.
SEVERAL SOULS ARE SAVED
Many Seek Their Salvation Until
Long Past Midnight, While oothers
Are Soon Within Fold--Strons Mes
saose of Various Preachers.

The Pentectostal campmeeting at
Spring Hill continues the interest
manifested. Mrs. Todd's message on
Wednesday night to sinners from the
text, Shall we continue in sin that
grace may abound? God forbid" was
heartsearching and full of divine
JUNCTION.
Revs. Bishop and Todd are still
preaching the word with great effect,
and the campers especially are being
greatly edited by the straight, clean
gospel Many peoule from the sur
rounding country are also being
greatly benefited by the services, and
are turning their ways into the path
of better life.
Mrs, Wilbur Daniels, of Franklin,
talked Friday morning on Complete
ness in Christ" taking for her text
Col. 2:10. One soul was saved in the
after service and many others were
blessed. At the night service Rev
Bishop made a strong appeal, using
for his text, "Oh Jerusalem, Jerusa
lem, thou that kiileth the prophets
and stoneth them that are sent unto
thee, how often would l have gather
ed thy children together, even as 9
hen gathers her chickens under hel
wings, and ye would not. Behold
your house is LETT unto you desolate.
A number responded to the invita-
tion for prayer. One young man wa'
very definitely saved. Others were
seeking their salvation until past mid
! night
The meeting as q whole is continu
Ting in its marvellous success. The at
tendance at each meeting is increas

being steadily augmented. Man!
souls are being saved, and lasting
good is being done to those that ar,
already in the Holy Ghost. That tn,
Spirit is manifest and working IS wei
known to all that are in attendance.

on Monday an abutting property tax
of eighty cents on the $1O0 worth of

not be done and the tax was levied
upon all alike.

An adaptation of the Russian
blouse is the keynote of the costume
in the sketch. The blouse is confined
by broad, shaped belt of dark blue
taffeta, adorned with tiny gilt but
tons down the front. This belt tops
the plated pep1um, whose hem is cut
irregularly to give an apron sugges-
ton.
Since everything claiming any style
pretense boasts of some sort of pock-
ct, it follows that the newest version
of the Russian blouse has this feature.
But it will be noted that the pockets
have been transposed. Heretofore they
occupied space below the belt, but the

up-to-date must be of the slashed
order. 1t is considered more simple
and more convenient. Another rea-
son is the fact that it breaks the
straight, flat line of the upper blouse
section.
The collar is high and fashion
ably uncomfortable. Later on this will
doubtless be dropped in favor of the
Elton effects which are being tenta-
lively introduced in connection with
the smart cloth suits and dresses.
The material employed to develop
the Russian blouse costume of the
picture is of blue Tipperary cloth,
which, in a way, is a rival of serge
and gabardine. 1t is durable and of a
prepOSSeSSing weave, and comes in
variety of colors. Just now it is be-
ing offered in the very popular tan
shades that have the advantage of be-
ing practically dust-proof and there
