Delta, March 23.-At the Pentecos-
tai tabernacle they are having quite
a time this week as the leader Nigh
and the evangelist Mrs. Tibbits of
Michigan, have started their special
meetings and the work of Divine Heal
ing is now in progress. Several cases
have been cared for, but the most
notable one is that of Aunt RhodR
Archer, who it is claimed has not walk
ed for 10 years without the aid OF
crutches. Mrs. Tibbetts was able to
develope sufficient faith on the part
of Aunt Rhoda, so that she set aside
her crutches and rose up and walked
and she has been doing so ever since.
She states that one limb is little
shorter than the other and this makes
her somewhat lame, but otherwise she
| is all right 1t is to be hoped that the
cure is permanent.
| County Agent Work.
II. w. Lineweaver, president of the
Keota Farm Bureau and County Agent
w. o. Roessler, were in Delta this
week to meet a group of the farmers
and the matter of Seed Corn, the SOW
ing of spring wheat and other import
ant matters were fully discussed and
arrangements were made for more
| systematic planting of crops. This
injecting was one of several to be held
1 in different parts of the county for the
purpose of giving substantial aid to
the farmer in his work.
\ Awaiting Results
/ At the meeting of the Delta city
/ council this week, the usual budget of
monthly claims was passed. but no 9th
er business of import was cared for
as it was not thought advisable to do
anything so near the date of election.
