REVIVAL IN PROGRESS

The evangelistic services at the
Methodist church are drawing out
large crowds, despite the disagreeable
weather that has prevailed. Brother
Klein is reaching straight from the
shoulder ; nd is putting the christians
to work in order that there may be a
great ingathering of souls into the
ARK of Safety"-God's kingdom.
The matchless singing of Bro Boyd
and the stirring song service under
his leadership are proving to be Of
great benefit in the revival, especially
is the junior choir to be commended
for the manner in which it puts vim
and meaning into their songs.
The e.,rvices are being held twice
daily-at 2:30 and 1880 p. m. Every
body is invited to come and go to work
for the Master for He needs everyone
in this campaign against sin.

BILL PROVIDING FOR ITS EsTAB.
LIsHMENT IN cookEvILLE SIGN.
Ed BY GOVERNOR RYE

The technical school that has been
located in Cookeville by the legisla
ture will be Of great importance to the
whole of Pctnam and the entire sur.
rounding territory as well. and every
citizen of the county should feel justly
proud that Putnam has been so hon
ored, and should do all in their power
to help push the proposition along.
Once established this great state
school will be maintained entirely at
the expense of the state, and may in
the fcture also secure the aid of the
Federal government.
If this school is of enough import
ance be desired and sought after by
the cities and larger towns of the state
it surely will be of great benefit to the
peor'e of this entire mountain section.
The people of adjoining counties are
congratulating Putnam on her success,
and heartily endorse the school, saying
that it will be of great benefit to them
and boost tothe entire upper country
In order that all may have the oppor-
tunity Of knowing just what the bill
establishing the Tennessee Polytech-
mic Institcte provides, we publish it in
full this week. Read it and see what
a good thing it is to be.
