MARSHFIELD

The Methodist people Of Marshfield
voted very emphatically in two recent
meetings for an open church" IL months
in the year. Not alone this, but for a
type and program of service without any
cessation, which viii make their pastor,
Rev. Mr. Goddard, and his associates
very busy folks. Plans are already un-
der way for such a program and it is
especially important that the response
and support to all phases of the work be
immediate and of the most loyal nature.
Such an appeal, in the shape of pas
toral letter, is going out to every family
in Methodism this week, and it is hoped
that the response and conservation so
akin to the Methodist people will be of
sufficient strength rs will allow the
church and her pastor to meet the many
demands for service now surrounding
them. This loyal response is already
being manifest, for in business meet
ing Tuesday evening the financing of
the institution was discussed thoroughly
and a final vote placed the budget for
ministerial support and current expenses
for the ensuing year at 800. A com.
mittee of six was Immediately selected
to care for this and will put on the
drive" on Sunday, June l. Rev. Mr..
Goddard stresses the necessity of the
church touching the life of every home
and family for which his church must
give an account" so that the intensive
canvass to be made Sunday, June /, will
mean much more than q mere financing
of the work, which is one important
INN Mr. Goddard ia 4l..4
the entire Methodist constituency come
to know Immediately Of the plans being
made for future ministrations, and work
ing with this committee he expects that
this will be generally known in making
such thorough canvass of the field.
Some had been given to feel, and Justly
so, that a possible union between the
Methodist and Congregational churches
would possibly take place in the near
future, but the interests surrounding the
Methodist church and her people being
so many and of such varied character
that these at once became manifest in
the splendid vote already mentioned.
Mr.. Goddard and his people, however,
wish to express their sincere apprecia-
tion of the fine Christian spirit of Rev.
Mr., Furness and his people and also
wish to thank them publicly for the
open doors and hearts extended us dur
ing the winter months. We are only
hoping that our future associations will
prove our worth and gratitude. In the
gospel ministrations of the two churches
it is hoped by Mr.. Goddard that he and
his people will have many things com.
mon with their sister church in the par
ish. Let all Methodism now take their
places in the ranks and with their pres
ence at the services and with their loyal
support accomplish some of the many
things yet TO be done in our care of
those interests which are peculiarly ours
Watch and wait for the visitor Sunday,

no results whatever and thought

Dor asked me TO try a few of his tablets
which were IRON Lax Tonic tablets, from
which he had received great benefit

better. ] bought a bottle and before |
was half finished with it felt altogether

all night and got up in the morning feel
ing fine. My bowels moved regularly and

hard and feel fine.
"Since, have told all my friends
about Iron Lax Tonic. and a number of
them have thanked me. For they are
getting the ssrs results as | do from
Iron-L Lax Tonic and they too are telling
all their friends as | did. And you can
rest assured that those who feel as | did
should not hesitate but start now"
Weakness, constipation, paleness, gen

sickness like influenza and in all cases
where there is lack of iron in the blood
start taking Iron Lax Tonic at once, DO
not expect the same result from some

And after you feel all well again you

some extra strength and iron in your
blood and keep yourself feeling fine. Buy

Industrial activity is increasing, if not rapidly yet steadily. While the war was in progress and the business world was dislocated, financiers and leaders of in- dCstry predicted that after the return of peace this country would witness the greatest era of prosperity in it's history.
 But no one expected the return to nor nal conditions to make it's appearance immediately. Every one felt that the re- adjustment period would last for some months, probably for year or more.
 But prosperity is coming sooner than many good prophets had foretold. The armistice was signed less than eight months ago, but there are already signs of marked improvement in various branches of business. Every week shows an advance. When the treaty of peace is formally agreed to there will be a decided quickening of mill and factory operations, of large construction of all kinds, of spirited trading in real estate and of business ventures in every direc- tion. It is safe to assume that by the second half of the year prosperity will be getting in full swing.
 In the meanwhile the number of houses in course of erection increases. And as for paved road building it is now getting under full headway. The magnitude of highway construction during the present

year will surpass anything of the kind ever dreamed Of
 Much road work has been planned for Alabama, and when the legislature meets one of the most vital measures it will be called upon to consider will be the bill appropriating $25, ,0oo,o00 for the building of trunk roads like amount to be avail able as state aid from the federal gov ernment. In view of the popular de mand for good roads-the best roads there is scarcely a doubt but that the bill will pass. What could do more to accelerate the south's hum?
 The iron market is always barometer of general trade. Rogers, Brown & Co S last weekly circular is cheering. Under Cincinnati date line, it says;
 ''The results during the past week were highly encouraging. Inquiry increased and it does look as though buyers are taking hold of the pig iron question with avidity. Some have reached the con- clusion that now is the time to buy their needs through the remainder of this year and are actually closing for pig iron they require to January 1. Others, how ever, are covering for nearby needs, but the fact seems to be working through to buyers that furnaces have reached bedrock as to prices at which they can afford to sell their iron and that a steady increase in business will, most assuredly, mean advancing prices.

The largest sweet potato crop in the history of Mississippi is in pros pect, according to reports from sie southern section of the state, where interest in this crop centers, says Jackson special to the Manufacturers Record.
