Wise housewives figure the value of coffee in the price per cup rather than the price per pound.

Services at the First Baptist Church.

In spite of the rain last Sunday, all
of the services, save the B. Y. P. u,
were carried forward as planned.
Church services are supposed to be ap-
pointments of Gods children to meet
with their heavenly Father, and it
seems strange that the weather should
be able to keep these from their ap-
pointments.
On next Sunday. Mr. E. Godbold, Of
the Louisiana Baptist College, will be
the speaker. 1t is hoped that there will
be an unusually large attendance to
hear his messages. Prayer meeting
will meet Wednesday evening at 7:30.
Woman's Missionary Society meets
Thursday afternoon at $50. The public
is cordially invited to attend all of these
services. DANA TERRY, Pastor.
