CIRCUIT COURT CASES
Slow But Interesting. Grand
Jury Active.

To the time of going to press,
nothing much done. Criminal
cases principally disposed of.
The Brunswick negress, charged
with and confessing to bootleg
ging, was discharged for want of
prosecution. Just why not pros
ted under the circumstances ap-
pears to be because of a screw
loose in the local option condition
in this county. Hon. Roy W.
Rucker appears to be anxious
to test the law and the prosecu.
ting attorney disinclined. How
ever, the grand jury is hard at
work and perhaps will furnish
some culprits to make the test
with.

THE REVIVAL CLOSED
Nearly 100 Persons at Altar
During Four Weeks
of Services.

What appears to have been the
most fervent religious awaken
ing that Keytesville has had fol
some time has resulted from the
meetings which have been II
session for four weeks, closing
last Sunday night at the M. E.
church, During this time about
80 persons have been at the al
tar.
The meetings were in charge
of Rev, Meyers, pastor of the
church, assisted by Rev. Stor'
mont, of Dalton. in charge OF
the service of song. Rev. Mey-
ers gave unstintedly of his SER
vices and the showing of men,
women and children are a trib-
ute to the earnestness of his
work. At the close of the SER
vice Sunday night, he announced
that he would close the meetings
here as he had promised Sails
bury to be there this week to
help them. Some of the church
members thought it inadvisable
to close the services then but
Rev. Meyers pleaded his word to
the Salisbury people and ex-
haustion from his work here.
During the month about 80
persons approached the altar,
some of these church members,
who wanted to renew their al
legiance to their religious prin'
ciples. Sunday night, January
"a, SO persons were taken into
the M. E. church and all told,
the membership was increased
48. Other churches also receiv-
ed members. Quite number
of the accessions are children.
Residents here say that the re-
suits have not been equalled in a
similar meeting held here for a
score of years and the meeting is
a strong tribute to the ability of
Rev. Meyers as an evangelistic
speaker as well as to the other
persons who assisted in making
the meeting a success.
