BILLY SUNDAY
IN BOSTON
Description of His Work by c. E Compton, an
old Grand Rapids Boy

Friend Albert have been TO the
Tabernacle several times sizing up
Billy Sunday and his methods during
the first half of his ten weeks revival
meetings here in Boston.
Whether or not one agrees with
him all are forced to admit that he
has developed wonderfully efficient
organization. The building itself
which seats nearly $4,000 people is adj
mirably adapted to the work even to
the sounding board above the speak
er, the sawdust on the floor which pre-
vents unnecessary noise by the shut
fling of feet or the tin pans used for
collections and which have a nailhole
nthe battom to prevent them from
being disable for other purposes. There
is a restaurant, hospital, post Office
and lost and found department Also
shower bath room for BiIly's per
sonal use after his exertions when he
takes a shower and rub down. Often
times at the close of a meeting he is
not only reeking with perspiration
but apparently is nervous wreck.
However every detail is considered
and after a short rest he comes back
fresh as a daisy and goes to it like
a thoroughbred. The stage setting is
simple and effective and the music
directed by Rodheaver "Rhody" who
is tactful and very helpful sparring
partner for Billy is inspiring.
Up to yesterday i. e., during the
first five weeks here the total atten-
dance has been 818,5O0. trail-hitters
or people who have publicly express
ed desire to live better lives totals
29,O5O And the collections made for
running expenses total $54,146,00, or
an average of about &c per person.
Sunday expected to find the New
cold, conservative and a.
pathetic generally, but has broken all
records made by him in other cities.
4 great many do not approve Of his
methods or agree with his interpreta-
ton Of the Scriptures He offends
some keenly sensitive people and
shocks more. He is well aware Of
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1916-12-28

Office to which he has been elected. His
experience as chairman of the town
of SigeI as treasurer of the same town
has made him familiar with the trans
action of the business done in the
County Treasurer's Office. He has al
SO served his town and the school dis
trict board where he has had expert
ence in connection with school mat
ters which aids him in the knowledge
that fits him to serve in the present
office That he will make good in the
discharge of his office as County
Treasurer goes without saying. We
know that Claus will give the people
Of Wood county a good administration
during the next term in the office of
County Treasurer. We congratulate
him on his election

sam Church
COUNTY CLERK

Sam Church's election to the office
Of County Clerk insures the people of
Wood county man who will be atten-
tive to the County's business, efficient
IN keeping the records, and in every
way competent and obliging official.
Sam is popular with everybody who
enjoys his acquaintance, a good mixer,
and fellow that appreciates every
thing that is done for him. When he
was city treasurer, he was the first
man that held that office who had a
system that made il very simple and
easy to locate every tax payers prop
erty and the tax on the same. This
was an accommodation 20 the tax pay
er and to the treasurer in si.upl;f flying
the work OF his Office. THIS same sys-
tenn Of record keeping and orderly way
in which he will keep the county re-
cords, viii make it possible for every
body who has any business with that
office to find and locate any paper in
the Office. In other words, the people
of Wood county viii have in Mr..
Church a servant who will be oblig-
ing, pleasant and competent. We
congratulate them in his election.

SLOAN'S LINIMENT EASES PAIN


Sloan's Liniment is first thought of
mother for bumps, bruises and sprains
that are continually happening to chill
dren. 1t quickly penetrates and soothes
without rubbing. Cleaner and more
effective than mussy plasters or ONT
ments. For rheumatic aches, neural
gia pain and that grippy soreness after
colds, Sloan's Liniment gives prompt
relief. Have a bottle handy for bruis-
es, strains, sprains and all external
pain. For the thousands whose work
calls them outdoors, the pains and
aches following exposure are relieved
by Sloan's Liniment. At all Drug
gists, 25c.

who are lost sight of. No one who
goes to hear him doubts his sinceri-

highest. He may fail to do in Bos-
ton all that he hopes to do but he is
making a supreme effort and it seems
almost pathetic to read some of the
adverse criticisms by some people
who for reasons best known to them
selves will not go to hear him and par
ticularly so from few antiquated and
envious sky pilots who get into a rut

they are right: Oh! Those trail hit

is using poor business judgment in

court has great confidence in his "a
bility to take good care of the legal
papers and records that are kept in
his office and are vital in the dispo-
sition of court matters that come up
in the proceeding of the circuit court

is what makes Mr.. Bever so strong

feel that to make change in the of

the excellent work that has always

A. B. BEYER
CLERK OF COURT

The reelected clerk of circuit court
on the republican ticket A. B. Bever
is too well known in Wood County for
us to introduce him to our readers.
He has served Wood County in his
present capacity for many years. His
popularity and efficiency in the dis
charge of his duties of that office is
what keeps him in that position and
therefore he succeeds himself ev-
