is much loved by all. His sermons
reach the heart, and no one can hear
these soul-stirring messages without a
resolve to strive for the higher and
nobler things OF life.
The sermon last Sunday morning
was q masterpiece, after which pledg-
es aud cash offerings were taken

ried the cities but Folks manager

strong for him. In Iron County a
light vote was polled. Up to We'd
nesday morning returns had been re-
ceived from only five precincts-lr Iron
ton, Arcadia, Pilot Knob, Granite
vile and Belleview. The total vote
at Ironton was 139~-10l Democratic
and IS Republican. Whitley and Folk
are running close in the county, as are
Brewster and Damron for Congress
The total primary vote in the county
will hardly exceed 400.
