Mrs. George Nichols, of Harrods-
burg, has received a letter from her
son, Albert Collier, who is now en-
ployed in the erection of the avia
tion camp at Lake Charles, La, in
which he tells her of blowing up
three alligators in the course of his
work recently. They had evidently
burrowed under the sandy soil for
a good old snooze when the Mercer
man disturbed them. There was an
old alligator about eight feet long
and two small ones. and Mr.. Collier
took off his necktie and captured
one of the little gators and led him
into camp, where it is becoming
quite pet.

ARLINGTON TO HEAR
DAWSON PASTOR
Presbyterians of Neighboring City
Organize Church-Have Promi-
nent Membership.

For the last few years the number
of Presbyterian families in Arlington
has gradually increased. Most of
these became active workers in the
Baptist and Methodist churches as
soon as they settled in the town.
Their relations with their foster
church was in each case very pleasant
and helpful, but as their number in
creased a strong desire grew among
them to have an organization of their
own. They enjoyed their work with
the sister denominations but each
father and mother in a Presbyterian
family longs to have their children
brought up in the church that they
themselves have learned to love and
reverence. The Presbyterian church
inherits a noble history. To fall heir
to it's traditions and to have the lives
Of it's servants for inspiring examples
are no mean privileges.
The Presbyterians of Arlington
felt that they had a peculiar work to
accomplish for the kingdom of God
in their community and to meet this
obligation they knew that it was nee
essary for them to have their sepa-
rate organization.
On Sunday afternoon at 3:15
o'clock, January IA, Rev. L. W. Cur
tbs of Macon, Ga, organized the
Presbyterian church of Arlington.
The section of the book of church or
der authorizing an evangelist to or
ganize a church where needed, was
duly complied with.
The organization was launched
with nineteen members on the roll
and with several more to be received
in the near future. The following
elders were elected to serve the
church: Mr.. R. I. Knox, Mr.. Pierce
Crockett and Mr.. w. P. Talley.
The following deacons were elect
ed to look after the temporal welfare
of the church: Dr. G. K. Sharp, Mr..
Earl R. Mckinney and Mr.. R. A.
Rogers.
This infant church has big work
ahead of it and a bright future to
look forward to.
Rev. William Proctor McElroy,
who is pastor of the Dawson Presby-
terrain church also serves the Airing
ton church as pastor.
