Our former townsman, H. Cleve
Coffman, the tobacco man, was in
town last Friday and was good
enough to leave with us liberal SAM
pie of the new King Pin" chewing to-
bacco, which has but lately been intro
duced here and which is finding a
ready sale.
G. Tom Taylor, former State Treas
urer, under Gov. Hooper, who has a
plantation in Mississippi, was in Lex
ington last Tuesday, accompanied by
his son, both having been on visit
to Linden, Mr.. Taylor's old home,
where we first knew him more than
thirty years ago.
Those who attended the morning
service in the Baptist church, last
Sunday morning, say the pastor, Rev.
Fleetwood Ball, preached an excellent
sermon in advocacy of the great Bap-
fist drive to raise the huge sum of
seventy-five million dollars. Last
Sunday was the day on which the
Baptists began that great drive.
Hugh F. Boswell, Nath Owen, E. w.
Essary and Rev. Fleetwood Ball were
guests at the home of Felix Greasy
and wife, Wednesday night for a
sumptious supper, following big hog
killing by the genial host. They do
say the lawyer and preacher badly
distanced the other gentlemen as to
the quantity devoured. The hostess
was heartily voted one of the best
cooks known to the visitors.
Judge w, M. Taylor, of Blythe
vile, Ark, arrived here last Friday to
visit his mother, Mrs. Amanda Taylor,
after having visited his son, Jesse,
who is in Vanderbilt University, and
taking in the great football game be-
tween Vanderbilt and Sewanee, in
Nashville, on Thanksgiving day.
Vanderbilt won, but had to put up
hard fight to do it.
The Baptists all over the South are
to be congratulated on the splendid
start made last Sunday on their cam
paign to raise the enormous sum of
seventy-five million dollars, to be paid
in installments in the next five years.
$4,000 is the quota for Lexington
church and some believe it will be
raised. Many communities, no more
able, raised and went over their quota
on the first day.
Mrs. Esco Derrberry came up from
Scott Miss, last Friday, with her two
children, to visit her parents, Conduc-
tor and Mrs. T. D. Moss, and many
friends. We are informed that Mr..
Derryberry, has been made manager
of 400 acre plantation of the Del
ia & Pine Lands Company, which is
said to opela ate the biggest cotton
plantation in the world. This COM
pany has seventeen sub-plantations
of from 1000 to 1000 acres each.
"The Laboring Man: Is God His
Friend?" will bee the subject of the
sermon Sunday night at the Baptist
church. The question of the laboring
mans rights and privileges is the
most vital issue of the day. If you are
a working man or woman, attend the
services in your honor Sunday night.
Morn subject: "The Lord Reigneth."
