We conduct services at Wildwood the
first and third Sundays in each month
and at Oxford the second and fourth
Sundays. And the Sundays that we
are here at Wildwood we run down
to Coleman, a distance of about five
miles and conduct services there at
ings. This gives us three towns to
work each month and it keeps US go

Oxford Is Just five miles north Of
Wildwood on the S. A. L. R. R. and
Coleman is Just five miles south OF
Wildwood on the same road.
Sumter county seems to specialize
in hogs. The people at Oxford have
shipped eight car loads of hogs al
ready this season and expect to ship
about eight cars more, which will
make q total of sixteen cars for this
season. This will net them about
$35 900 on hogs alone this season. One
of the largest individual orange
groves in the State is here Just west
Of Wildwood about two miles dis
lance. The orange crops are cut
short this year because Of the cold
last year.
We shall never forget our many
friends in Pensacola and vicinity who
have been so kind to us in our work.
And the Pensacola Journal is always
a welcome guest in our home and is
read with interest by our family.

Chinese Emperor
Reported Abdieated.

There's been an attempt in China
to reinstate the rule Of an emperor,
which seems to have been ab0rtive
and was followed by the reported
abdication Of the young emperor,
Husuan Tung, who had been placed
on the throne but week before by
Cen Chang Hsun. The imperialis-
tic forces were defeated South of
Pekin in the last weekend by the
Republican troops and the deser-
ton of many of the soldiers of the
imperial army The Republican
forces hemmed in the city Of Pc
kin and had the new emperor cut
of from escape. With China Sc
curely made republic and induced
to enter the war against the Euro
pean Central powers, the "chinks"
could do their bit toward hasten
ing the complete downfall Of the
German Kaiser.

II all the nations banded together
against Germony and it allies in the
present war could be induced to
make concerted movement
against Germany by land, sea and
air, with the utter disregard for
human life practiced by the Ger
mans, it would not take long to put
the Huns out of business. While
it is a fact that the Kaiser breed of
Germans have no regard for the
lives Of other people, it is also true
that they set no value on the lives
Of their own people when an end is
to be attained. The balance Of the
world ought to just roll over" as
it were, and simply crush Germany
out of existence.

THE BAPTIST REVIVAL.

The religious revival in the Bap-
fist church, in which Evangelist j.
H. Dew is doing the preaching. will
come to a conclusion next Sunday
afternoon with the services at Els
O'Clock, when the preacher asks
that all come and that each and ev-
cry one bring with him or her their
"Alabaster Box" for the specific
purpose Of having it broken.
Mr.. Dew has been doing some Of
the best common sense preaching
on wholesome living from the
Christian standard Of life that we
have ever heard here, He is GER
tainly jealous and earnest in his
work and is, withal, a pleasing
speaker who shows unusual famil-
iarity with the Bible. With such a
man as Mr.. Dew to do the preach
ing. cooperation with him Of
church members could not fail to
bring the results for which such a
meeting is held.
One of the remarkable meetings
Of this week was that especially
designated for odd folks" on Tues
day, when there were twenty-five
persons Of more than 65 years OF
age present.
Just what the results of the
meeting may have been up to this
time, we are not informed, but we
truly hope that when it closes
much Of good shall have been &C
complished for this community.
Mr.. Hughes, the singer accompa-
nying MI. Dew, has made a good
name here.

When Lincoln and
Lee Agreed

Lincoln and Lee differed rad
ically on the one great question
Of their day, but agreed on the
value ola policy in the Hartford
Fire Insurance Company.
Both great leaders turned to
the "Hartford" for insurance
before the beginning of the Civil
War, General Lee taking out a
Hartford policy on "Arling-
tom" in Virginia, while Pres
ident Lincoln insured his home
at Springfield, Ill.
As in the days of Lincoln and
Lee, men who know the long,
clean record of the "Old Hart
ford" instinctively select it to
protect their homes and other
property.

The Memphis Commercial APP
peal Of few days ago made a fine
defense Of West Tennessee in an ed
itorial notice Of what the Nashville
Banner had said anent the estab.
lishment of a military camp for the
next winter training Of soldiers
from the North. In advocating
Memphis for the camp, the Com
mercial Appeal rightly says that
Memphis has better water than
any other city Of its size In the
South, but we do not believe it is
justifable in claiming that any
point around Memphis is free from
malaria--for nearly all Of West
Tennessee is malarial. However,
Nashville and Middle Tennessee
have generally more typhoid than
we have over here. The most
striking claim the C. A. makes for
Memphis is that 1T is more free
from booze than any other city in
Tennessee, and it is going to be
bone dry from this week on The
amount Of money recently SUBJ
scribed by Memphis to the Red
Cross fund is touched lightly, for, if
we remember the figures correctly,
Nashville went past the Bluff City
several thousands Of dollars--but
anyhow, we are glad that West
Tennessee has SO able a defender In
the Commercial Appeal, the best
newspaper in the South.

FROM MEMPHIS.

Editor Progress:
Permit me to say that my brief
visit to Lexington, Monday, July 2,
was more than enjoyable. 1t af-
forded me the opportunity to meet
with and clasp the hands of many
former friends that perhaps I'llmeet
no more in this life, and each one
Of them seemed glad to greet me
again with warm hand clasps and
exceedingly kind words. Especially
was delighted at meeting so many
Of the older men Of the town and
county. Many new and strange
faces to me were also in evidence,
which convinced me that the popu-
|lation Of good old Lexington had
wonderfully changed since | left
Henderson county more than twelve
years ago. / was greatly pleased

Miss Flossie Waller. of Juno

| Miss Flossie Waller, of Juno,
daughter of A. L Waller, a good
looking. good-hearted, intelligen,
and altogether charming young
lady, while attending the County
Teachers Institute here this week,
contributed SIS to the Red Cross
fund. Among the young women
Of this progressive age, none are to
be more admired and revered than
those of Miss Walters type.
One of the greatest revolutions in
the interior appearance of a Lex
ington business house has occurred
in the Watson Drug Company,
which has been completely fitted
out anew with new oak furniture
and glass cases. The new Quitting
was selected both with a view to
convenience and appearance and
we compliment both DR.. Watson
and his son, w. Vann Watson, on
their good taste and progressive
ness in making this favorite BUSH
ness stand what it is entitled to be.

finishing touches, would grace the

Miss Willie Blount was notified
at the end of last week that she
had been elected one Of the corps
of teachers in the High School at
Martin, where she was a student in
the Hall-Moody Institute before she
went to California to finish her ed
ucation. We are naturally partial
to this young lady, but we can say
conscientiously that the Martin
High School will find her good ma
terial. She graduated with honors
from the High School of Los An
geles, California, where the school
system is one Of the best in the
United States and where the
science Of teaching is a part Of the
last year Of the high school curricu-
lum. We predict that she is going
to make good" in the High School
at Martin-as she would have done
anywhere she might have been en-
ployed.
