Dear Editor Will you allow me
space in your valuable paper to
announce thar we reviying our
prayer services. and it seems that
the people are getting interested
about their souls and where they
shall spend eternity, as it behooves
everybody to begin to work out
their own souls salvation. As
prayer IS the main pillar of the
church OF God, lee me persuade
every one to attend prayer meet
ing at some one S church, each
prayer meeting night, let US be
found at some prayer meeting and
be in meditation to God daily for
our people.
God will give us our people as
He did Queen Esther her people.

deliverance of our people. Read
the Bible. as everybody ought to
read the Bible and live by it.

Whether Commonwealth At

credit in given term of office to
the deficiencies for former term

this question by endeavoring to

a warrant for his fees for $4,000
during several years of his term
as Commonwealth Attorney
when the fees fell below $4,000, as
he had earned for the state much
more than $4,000 for several
years. Greene refused to issue

A ern, hard pavements acts
as a hammer blow to your ner-

The average person, even
though his work is indoors, takes
5000 steps a day-gives his sys-

The constant repetition Of these
shocks exhausts your energies,
contributes largely to the state

You can eliminate this great
cause of fatigue. You cannot

you can change your heels.
