The Baptist Bssembly on Arcadia
Heights closed Sunday night and the
unanimous opinion is that the 1915
session proved one of the most salts
factory and successful in the history
of the Assembly. The attendance was
large and the programme most inter-
esting. Many substa initial improve
ments are contemplated on the hill
for next year. A number OF fam
lilies will remain on the Heights until
September 1st.
Mr.. T. P. Graves died at his home
in Pennington last Saturday after a
prolonged illness. Mr.. Graves was
we'll known throughout Southeast
Missouri, having for many years been
prominently identified with st. Fran
co.'s county's great mining interests.
He was one Of natures noblemen and
long will he be mourned. The funeral
occurred Monday and was attended
by the following I~rontonians: VIM.
Trauernicht, A. Roehry, Emil Roehry,
B. S. Gregory, w. w. Reese, w. r.
Edgar, Jr., and F. P. AXE.
Prof. H. W. Browder, President Of
Marvin College, died in the hospital
at Gainesville, Tenn, Monday norm
ing. This very sad event is a calamity
to the institution of which he was the
head, for it has been unfortunate in
some Of it's presidents, but Prof. Brow
der, in the one year of his administra-
ton demonstrated his fitness for the
position he occupied. Friends of the
college were hopeful that it was just
entering upon a career of usefulness.
The Board of Curators of the college
will meet in st. Louis today, and
doubtless will take prompt action to
supply the vacancy.
Leadwood correspondent Desloge
SIM: "The meeting has increased in
interest, spirit and attendance ever
since starting. Burke is doing some
excellent preaching along the line of
every day practical living. The gospel
team under the supervision of Rev.
Hobbs is doing excellent work. All
directly concerned have been doing
their duty. A start was made last
Monday week by the ~"unsaved" and
each night since nor have been con-
verted, they declaring by their actions
that they were not s'razor backs''
eterrapin herders,' Chill billies,n or
"Molly Goddess" Who-oop-ee-ee!
That's fine. The town has been re-
named-s'New" lockwood. More
than 200 have been converted. Don't
you think that's reason enough?"
About ten years ago when Add
Reese, whois now in the mercantile
business at Annapolis, was operating
a saw mill on Sinking creek, about
four miles southwest of this place, he
lost a valuable watch, which was
made more valuable by reason OF
being a keepsake from his dead
brother, and which he thought he had
lost in the sawdust and then fed into
the furnace under the boiler. Some
weeks ago while a young son of John
Brooks who lives near where the mil
was located was playing in the ole
feed barn in which Mr.. Reese haG
kept his teams, he saw something il
one of the managers and upon a
closer investigation found it was the
long lost watch. Mr.. Reese wa
notified and he now has the watch
and he rewarded the youthful finder
with So. The watch was in goot
condition and started running upor
being wound up.-Reynolds County
