NO PAPER TOMORROW

 There will be no paper issued from this office tomorrow, July 4th, as we desire to give the office force, (as we'll as our readers) a day of rest. There are always two days in the year that printers, as we'll as others, desire to Hay off, Christmas, and the 4th of July, and it would be about as hard to get one 10 work on either of these days, as it would be to get the paper out without one, therefore, we have decided to celebrate the 4th by shutting down the machinery, and letting the office boy and carriers go swimming. See you Thursday.

REVIVAL CLOSES.

The best meeting for many years with the First Baptist Church closed Sunday night. Rev. M. L. Voyles, of Bentonville, Ark, did the preaching and Bro. S. E. Kirby, of Little Rock, conducted the singing. Bro. Voyles rightly won the name of being one of the best gospel preachers in the land. Bro. Kirby was pronounced the best evangalistic singer that ever visited Malvern, and that is going some. Everybody already loved Voyles, this being his third meeting here, and in just a little while everybody loved Kirby. There were about 40 public professions of faith, 25 united with the First Church, IS of whom were by baptism. Now we want to keep the revival spirit going by being religious every day. Come to prayer meeting tomorrow night.

 The sure and certain increase 1n cotton acreage means lower cotton prices next fall. Cost of all food end grain products is high. 90 high that no one can afford to buy and expect to pay out with cotton
 It's time above all others to play safe: to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres: to cut down the store blll.

The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1917-12-21

The boys have gone. And with them
have gone many OF the hearts OF the
women and chlldren--yes-and the men
az well-of Wheeling The excitement
Ia over. but the heartaches and the pride
and love also remain.
Yesterday undoubtedly saw the most
enthusiastic crowds Of franttcAly cheet-
Ing. crying people that have yet gath
cred to bid farewell to the boys who
ara going to the training camp ut Fort
Scrtven. Ca In spite or the fact that
tho streets were small lakes Of water
and slueh. the folks turned out just tho
same to 90 honor to those who are go
ing to the defense Of our country and
orr homes and had the Ohio been flood
ed they would have turned out Just the
same.
The crowds began to gather shortly
after eleven o'clock and they waited
patiently for almost three hours until
the parade came along. Some OF the
moro impatient preceded the marchers
TO tho depot. hoping to be admitted
through tho yates before the advent OF

WOMEN BEARING A HEAVY BURDEN
IN PARTING With LOVED ONES

the boys but they were doomed to dis
appointment.
But once through the gates. and UP
the steps. there were no humorous IN
cidents. The scenes enacted there were
affecting 10 the extreme and touched
the hearts Of the most hardened. The
crowd was so dense that families were
separated. pnd many could not find
their dear ones in the train. to give
them a last goodbye kiss. One woman
with Il wee, baby In her arms was
hunting frantically for her husband who
was on board. She dldn't find him
until Just as the train was pulling out.
and then there were three or four peo-
pie between them. But she managed to
reach out the arm which was not oc-
cupied with the babe. and the man
csught her hand and kissed It. That
was her farewell.
The words Of very old song seemed
to lit the occasion:
I'm off to the war, TO the war must
go,
ITO fight for my country and you.
