MUCH GOOD FROM
CHRISTIAN REVIVAL

Though cf short duration, the
Chritian revival, which closed Friday
night with the most Interesting and
educational lecture, "Ben Hur," de-
livered by DR. Herbert Yeuell, evan
gelist, was an inspirational and re-
ligious recreation to all who attended
and accomplished much lasting good.
DR. Yeuell's brilliant intellect and
sine IRE earnestness indelbly impress
ed themselves on many hearers. He
went from here to West Texas to
conduct a revival. At each service,
Mr. Sturgis continued to please those
present with his singing. Miss Lu-
cile Lamb served as evangelist or
ganist.
The meeting added number of
new members to the Christian con-
gregation, and enthused many with
renewed vigor for consecrated church
and religious work.

Y @ Caldwell, the Paris postmas-

another session of Congress, and

several nominations for Tennessee
postmasterships which Congress fail
ed to reach before it adjourned last
week, was President Wilson'S nomi-
nation of Ross Rogers for the local
office, Mr. Caldwell's term of Office
having expired. The nomination of
Mr. Rogers will now have to be again
sent to Congress by the President,

termine whether this will be a Re-
publican or Democratic president.
However, that matters not particular

The city won't publish statement

they won't take the people into con-

Rev J E Reynolds, under whose

his resignation and goes, the first of

cepts the charge of one of the oldest

the largest congregations of the
Disciples of Christ in Illinois.
Mr. Reynolds has been a popular
Minister, eminently successful with his
work among the young people, and
for quite a while was local Scout
Master. He is president of the
Paris Ministers Association, and
has made a host of friends in the
community, outside his congregation
even, because he has shown himself
a leader in community welfare and
progress, and ever ready to assume
his apportionate part Of any public
undertaking.
He expresses himself as having
confidently hoped to have led in the
erection of new church here, for
which the money has been raised and
the plans procured, and probably his
disappointment growing out of the
necessary postponement for two
years Of the erection of the church

he has accomplished so much good.

PLAY THREE GAMES
HERE WITH GLEASON
Paris Ball Club Returns To Home Lot
Monday For Three Games
With Gleason.

Monday next the Paris baseball
club returns to the home diamond for
three games with Gleason--Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. They hit
the pike again Thursday for Fulton.
Today, Thursday, and tomorrow and
Saturday, the Paris team is playing
at Waverly.
The past week has seen some ar
duous work, and the players are now
rounding into perfect shape and or
ganization. Manager Peoples has
now gotten his men definitely sta
toned and so far one game has been
lost out of the six played. Wednes-
day the strong Gleason team, with
bad break on the decisions for the
Paris players, got away with the first
game that has been lost-score 2 to
/. The game was hotly contested,
Haddon pitching for the local team
and let the Gleason aggregation down
with only two hits. Berry and Cow
ington did the receiving for Paris.
Brandon's work at short, receiving
10 chances out of IL, helped the Paris
nine to hold the score down. Tues
days game at Gleason saw nip and
tuck alignment of the scoring with
each team assembling 3 scores at the
close of the seventh inning, and
darkness stopped the came in the 18th
with it still tied. Patrick was on
the mound in this game and Fisher
caught the full game. The feature
was the pitching of Patrick who per-
mitted only three batters to land in
safe territory; he struck out 16 men,
and will probably hold this as the
best average for the season.
The two week end games at
Brownsville Friday and Saturday
were both chalked up in the Paris
won" column, the first one being
taken on the 8 to basis, and the
second game was listless one of
variety not boha-fide.. Brownsville
was shy of pitching material for the
second game, and rtanager Peoples
used some OF his younger hurlers for
a .try-out on the opposition. 1t ended
in the ninth with Ia tallies for Paris
and 13 for Brownsville.
The standing of the local club for
the season is: Won d; Lost L; Tied
