GRoRsBECK.

Groesbeck, Texas, May 20, 1919.
Yesterdays services throughout the
town were excellent indeed. Head
branch Baptist Sunday School put
over some thing out OF the ordinary
in enthusiasm and interest In Sunday
School matters. The collection show
ed that a Sunday School II this State,
In proportion to numbers is ranking
among the best. The Metoka De-
partment captured the banner with
4 collection OF one dollar and sixty
seven cents, the total amount raised
was six dollars and twenty two cents.
The Sunday Schools Of Lone Star,
Andrews Chapel and Dennis Chapel
were also on the Job.
Directly following Sunday School,
to the credit Of all the pastors In
town, all eleven o'clock services At
the various churches were dispensed
with. every one turned out to the
BIackshear High School Baccalaure-
ate Sermon, delivered by Rev. Moses
Smith in the High School auditorium.
Such a sermon was preached as was
never heard before in Groesbeck upon
an occasion OF this kind. Rev. Smith
was at his best and seemingly tried
to 20 beyond himself. The gradual
ing class seemed to drink In the
jeweled expressions coming from this
able devine. The auditorium listened
with marked attention throughout the
discourse and judging from many
kind expressions heard after the
meeting, they were pleased beyond
measure.
At eight O'Clock Pastor Pearson
preached an excellent sermon after
which sacrament was administered
and those who we're baptised was
fellowshipped into the church. The
coIored people Of Groesbeck are be
ginning to awaken to sense OF their
responsibilities, watch our solid
phalanx go up against the many OBJ
stacles we are to overcome. A
bigger and better Groesbeck is our
motto.
Prof. I. X. Edmond and Family are
visiting in our city.

For A Greater DodgeviIIe.

The Dodgeville Chronicle: If we are
to have new paved business street
there must be some force to push the
project through. If we are to have a
sewerage S. stem and expect the heavy
taxpayers to give their approval to the
project, then it will never come. AS a
rule it makes the heavy taxpayers heart
ache to see the money go. Indecision
never got any body anywhere. If we
are to have a greater Dodgeville some
one must take the lead and bear the
brunt in the game. A real man is the
initiative man and such a man must
put through the new street work. He
must lead the fight to open Merrimac
street and such man is not easy to
find.

FINDS CLUE TO BURIED GOLD
in Arizona on Track of Ancient
Treasure.

Tucson, Ariz.-What is believed to
be the first clue to the reputed buried
treasures of the padres Of the Tuna
cacori mission, built by Spanish Jesu-
it's high up in the Tumacacori noun
tains, less than three hours journey
from Tucson, has been discovered by
Frank Pinckley, custodian of the
ruins. It is the gateway to the mis-
sion cemetery. From this gateway, it
is said, the plans and maps left by
the padres start to outline the way to
the buried gold and silver. The Tuna
cacori mission was built near what are
believed to be the ruins of one Of the
Seven Cities of Cibola. The entire re-
gion is said to show evidences of rich
mineral deposits, which, declare those
who have inspected the mountains,
doubtless led the padres to build their
MISSION there.

GIVES MONEY TO SOLDIERS
Priest Declares Sons of Widow Need
1t More Than Does the
Church.

San Misunderstanding that the two
soldier sons Of the late Mrs. Bridget
Fitzpatrick are more in need of her
estate than is the Catholic church, Rev.
Father J. A. Colligan. trustee of ST..
Ignatius university, has renounced a
bequest of $4,000
"The sons Of Mrs. Fitzpatrick have
returned to San Francisco after IS
months in the army" said Father Col
ligan. cit is the belief of the trus:
tees of st. Ignatius university that the
boys need this money more than the
church does, and therefore we waive
our claims to the bequest."
Mrs. Fitzpatrick bequeathed her es-
tate equally to st. Ignatius university
and her two sons, Edward and Joseph.
By Father Colligan's action each of the
young men will receive an additional
$1,000.

PLAY BALL BY MOONLIGHT
Marine Drives Ball Through Post Of
flee Window in Fifteenth Inning,
Winning the Game.

Washington. - Marines down in
Guam have the ball game and peanut
habit, just like all good Americans
back in the States. Only this time
they've started something new in the
national sport. In recent game be-
tween the Agana and Sumay marines,
running through Is innings, the last
four innings were played by the light OF
full moon rising over the palms
which border the plaza.
In game played by moonlight al
most anything is likely to happen.
Manion of Sumay started things for
his team when he mailed ball in the
post office through hole In the screen
of one Of the windows. The Agana
fielder was unable to recover 1t with
out violating section H2O of the local
postal regulations and the Sumay boys
walked home with the bacon.
