chief? We would suggest that
Square" Levels be appointed as traf
fic policeman and "Dearie" as mayor.
"Dearie" could fill this place in very
acceptable way and take a quail hunt
occasionally, too.
Rev. C. w. Dunmire has announced
that there will be choir practice and
prayer services at the Church of God
every evening next week. Rev. Dun
mire is anxious to have good at
tendance at all of these services.
One of Square" Levels boys has
been sick with typhoid fever for some
time but is gaining strength again
now. Leadwood has had an unusually
large number of typhoid cases this
winter.
Now that our town is about free
from influenza our churches and
school should try to make up for lost
time. Both of these institutions have
been handicapped seriously in their
work this fall and winter and we
must make an earnest effort to regain
some of the valuable time we have
lost. There was noticeable increase
in the congregation at all the church
es Sunday and Sunday night which
shows the right attitude on the part
of the people. Automobile spins have
become very popular in Leadwood and
they have had large place in the
Sunday program since the churches
have been closed. But now that the
churches have opened up for services
again, it is the duty of the Christian
people to attend church regularly and
not allow the automobile to keep
them away. Let every Christian in
lockwood attend church somewhere
next Sunday.

number of people. A short funeral
service was held at the home in

G. A. Mcfarland, after which the re-
mains were taken to Piedmont for
burial. Mrs. Myrick was a member
of the Baptist church.
Riley Poston of Bonnie Terre, and
his niece, Miss Hazel Poston, were

How about your Red Cross men,

niture business here for some time, is
