NEWTON COUNTY VALUES.

Little Rock, Sept. 27-When New ton county filed report with the state tax commission Wednesday, showing gain of $563.O9 in taxable values in that county, Governor Brcugh had positive proof Of the sue cess of his township assessment plan. Newton county has no railroads and few corporations, hence all the in- crease is on real estate and personal property. The increase in Newton county was almost one-third. the tax able value of the property in the county being $1.635,529 in 1916.
 Another county to show a marked increase, where little was anticipated. was Perry. This county reports an irf- crease of $415,718 and the report Is incomplete. The assessor of Perry county believes the increase will reach a half million. None of this increase was made by the state tax commission, that body making reduc- tions instead of increases on most of the Perry county corporations.

MISS BYRNES WILL
 ADDRESS ALL WOMEN
Subject Last Night Was, "A Wonder full SaviOr," Showing "Christ-
 ianity Begins Not With
 Creed, But With Christi"
(By A. Homer Jordan.)

Two hundred and fifty-eieht busi- ness girls of the city assembled in the tabernacle last night They were entertained at supper by the women of the churches cooperating in the evantelistic campaign and then marched in body to the tabernacle where they occupied seats in the cen ter block.
 Everybody sang last night, the men, the women, the business girls, the ushers, everybody did his part in the song service. Mrs. Powell sang "Jesus a Wonderful Savior" Mir. Stephens led in prayer. The subject of the sermon was, "A Wonderful Savior" and the text was, Heb. 7:25, Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come un- to God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for us," and Matt. 1:21. And they shall call His name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins"

in this text in saying, Wherefore He is able to save to the uttermOst.' Christianity begins not with a creed, but with Christ If you should get a real vision of Jesus here tonight you would never be the same again.
 Jesus mearE 'Savior.' Savior means man weeping over sin, and reaching out his arms to save others from sin. Receiving Jesus is saliva ton. Men need not look for ideals and examples but for a Savior, and Jesus is that savior Salvation is not a getting hold of something, but a resting upon the Rock of Ages, which is Jesus Christ. This is the Savior of whom you are so badly in need.
 "Sin is like leprosy. Jesus is the Great Physician who says Be thou remember Jesus loves hard case. Demons of hell possess your life if you do not have Jesus. Perhaps the devil has you bound hand and foot. Our Savior is Lord over demons, sin and hell.
 Eternal Life.
 eff you accept Christ you can be partakers of eternal life This night you can receive this life if you will accept. When a real sinner meets a real Savior this result can always be obtained. Christ is able. Able is a great word. You may think you can never be- the man or woman you ought to be, but Christ is able to keep you from falling. Jesus never fails. He demonstrates. His ability every day. Perhaps you have given up hope of being Christian but you need not give up hope. Jesus wants to put his strong arms around you. Let him save you to the utter most. Jesus can save even the devils outcasts. Hear His voice tonight.
 "The word all figures in this text. This word includes you and me, and all others who will come. Jesus said, He that cometh unto Me will in no wise cast out 'Whosoever will may come.' Oh, sinner, thy Father calleth thee. Don't you hear Him? Will you accept him tonight?"
 When the call was given hundred or more of men and women accepted the invitation to give themselves to Christ.
 Mass Meetings.
