GREAT MEETING
OF NAzARENES
Revival Meeting At West End Church
Progresses With Much Inter
est; Closes This Week.

From the amount of interest dis
played, the revival, now in progress
at the Nazarene church, shows pros
poets of being great meeting. The
Holiness Rally and Dedication of the
Nazarene church on last Sunday was
attended and enjoyed by quite a
number of people, many from con-
siderable distance. Taking his text
from Eph. 5:26-27, Dir. l.. P. Ely
son, of Nashville, delivered an able
sermon at the morning service, which
was followed by a solemn and I'M
pressive dedication Of the Nazarene
church to the worship of God, and
closed by a great shout Of victory
from the members. Rev. and Mrs.
j. A. McCammon of Nashville added
to the general enjoyment of the SER
vices by the singing of several beau
tiful and spiritual songs. Later, a
splendid dinner was served at the
nearby lake to those attending the
service.
The meeting will continue all this
week.

unite in making manhood and wom-
anhood first and foremost.
Money was defined as currency, its
mission, to forever to run and keep
busy. "Miser money, hidden or
buried is of no good, of no service"
emphasized the speaker. He drew
beautiful figure from the fountain
and the pond, as compared to money
or manhood, saying that life, which
like the fountain was forever running
and giving, finally ending in big
and beautiful river was so far above
the stagnant life, which like the pond
took and took and gave nothing, and
finally dried up and disappeared.
"Not pleasure, nor money, nor fame,
but only service makes manhood, and
it was for the ideal of service that
Jesus Christ was sent to this earth. I"
AS parting injunction to the
graduates, DR.. Tillet said, "God needs
money. Make all you can; save all
you can; give all you can. Make it
honestly; spend it economically; give
it in service to others. Pour out
of your lives, the pure gold of man
hood in loving service, and declare
the biggest dividend, and give the
highest honor to your teachers and
parents by being men and women" :"
The music for the service, furnish
ed by the members of the choirs of
the various churches, was appropriate
and enjoyable. The solo, Calvary"
by Mr.. Clinton Mathews was excep-
tionally well rendered.

WORK INVOLVES OUTLAY
OF THIRTY ONE THOUSAND
About Eight Miles of Main Ditch and
Lateral in Fertile Tobacco
Growing Country.

w. R. Ewing, Inc, who have local
offices in this city, and who are now
executing the drainage work for the
Big Sandy district, were the success
full bidders on the Blood River dis
trict, known as district No. S, in the
northeastern part of Henry county,
when the letting took place last Mon
day.
The expenditure, according to the
estimate, involves an outlay of some
$31 900, and there are about 8 1-2
miles of main ditch and one lateral
in the contract. The bed of old
Blood River will be followed in the
main, and the excavation will aggre-
gate some 10000 cubic yards Of
dirt. The right Of way to be cut
100 feet in width.
Under the immediate direction of
Engineer Richard Bruce, whose Office
is in the Henry County Auto Build
ing the work will start just as soon
as the big ditching machine can be
moved to the starting point and erec-
ted and assembled there. There
will be no time lost in getting the
work under progress, according to
Mr.. Bruce. The main ditch will be
excavated with a dipper dredging
machine, but it is understood the
Prairie Branch lateral, which is about
mile in length, will be excavated
by the use of dynamite.
There are about 2,700 acres of fer

MUCH GOOD MAY
COME FROM FETE
Father And Son Banquet At Masonic
Hall Last Thursday Night Pro-
nounced Success.

So overwhelmingly enjoyed was
the Father and Son banquet at the
Masonic Hall on Thursday evening,
by the two hundred and twenty five
who were in attendance that it was
unanimously decided to make the
affair an annual event in Paris, tho
one young man objected to the plan
on the grounds that it should be re-
peated monthly The good feeling
throughout the evening was excep-
tional, and gaiety and happy conn
radeship reigned the entire time.

SONS, the banquet, in its pleasing
deliciou5ness, were all that could have
been desired, thanks to the indus

made the arrangements.
The address of the evening by
Fred T. Barnett, secretary Vanderbilt
Y. M. C. A. was most interesting and
well given. He of course stressed
the need for the closer affiliation of
father and son, the good resulting
therefrom, and decllred that the
fathers had never been given their
just dues of homage in family cip-
cles, that it was all right and proper
to laud mother, but that father
should receive just praise. However
the spirit of the fathers themselves,
and certainly the sons, was evidenced
in the acclaim, given William Niece

sentence toasts. In spontaneous an

WET WEATHER IS
DELAYING TOBACCO
Very Little Tobacco Land Ready and
Only One Third of Corn Crop
Planted.
(By W. B. Kennedy

Continued wet weather is holding
farming operations back and farm
ers, are further behind with planting
than ever before. Not more than
one third of the corn crop has been
planted and very little tobacco land
has been gotten ready. Plants are
getting large enough to set out and
farmers unprepared to take care of
them. A week or ten days of good
dry weather will enable them to pre-
pare for planting and fair sized
crop will be set although labor is hard
to secure and wages very high. Com
ditions today are very unfavorable
for this years planting and no doubt
the acreage will be curtailed very
materially.
The weather during the past week
has been more favorable for the
movement of loose tobacco, and de-
liveries have been rather heavy. Sales
on the loose floors and through the
chute markets have kept up well
throughout the week. There is very
little change to quote in prices. To.
bacco out of condition and very low
and common grades of leaf have
shown some weakness, otherwise the
market is unchanged.
Most of the large buying interests
have their men riding in the country
and buying has been free, farmers
showing more anxiety to sell thar
| heretofore.
| The weather is cold today and to-
bacco is drying rapidly. This ne
doubt will check the movement some.
what until the weather turns warmer
so tobacco can be moved without be
ing damaged from breaking.
We estimate that about 40 percent
of the crop in this district has beer
sold and the greater part Of it de-
livered, and no doubt with favorable
weather conditions we will see 6
continuous movement until the croI
has been marketed.

BIG CONTRACT
ON FISK TIRES

Probably the biggest tire contract
ever awarded in the state of North
Dakota, was recently given to the
Fisk Rubber Co., of Chicopee Falls,
Mass. The contract was awarded
through the Massachusetts, Compae
ny's Bismarck Branch by the state
highway commission, and it called
for equipment for 800 military
trucks and so touring cars, which
the commission has borrowed for
road work in the state. A few of
the trucks, the majority of which
are of the four wheel drive type,
and which range from one and half
to five ton capacities, will be equip
ped with solid tires, but a considerable
number will be mounted on heavy
pneumatics.
These trucks are distributed by
districts, and are use dior hauling
materials, patrol work, and upkeep.
They enter into the maintenance of
the roads already constructed, each
of the larger trucks being capable of
keeping in good condition stable
stretch of highway.
Fisk tires were chosen because of
the wonderful results being obtained
all over the United States by Fisk
Truck Tires.

PLANS MADE FOR
ARMENIAN HELP
Local People Realize Seriousness of
Near East Situation; Line Up
To Help Suffering.

Henry county is going to help re-
establish the ArmenianS, whom the
Turks drove on the deserts to starve.
This information is given as a re-
suit of General M. N. Azgapetain's s
appearance here Saturday and Sum
day. He appeared Saturday night
at the Dixie theatre; Sunday morn
ing at the Methodist church, and at a
union service Sunday night at the
Christian church.
The general spoke Sunday evening
to a crowded house, and many were
turned away because there was no
room. 1t was the first appearance
in Paris of a General of the Arme-
mans, and the natural result was that
there was much interest in him.
He told the people of the terrible
suffering his people had undergone
because of the most brutal deporta
tion of innocent women and children,
and their being driven on deserts to
starve, or killed outright because Wis
cious men wanted to kill them, and
for no other reason, except that they
were Christians and the Turks were
Mohammadans. He told of the
100000 orphans and aged persons
who were absolutely depending upon
the liberality of the people of Paris,
and Henry county and others of the
United States for food and clothing
until the next harvest is gathered,
and that if the people of this country
did not respond, his people would
starve within week.
"The suffering has been long and
terrible" he said to this paper. "Nc
one in America can imagine that mer
would be SO brutal as the Turks have
J been to CIR women, children and oul
older people. They struck while al
of the able bodied Armenian mer
were fighting with the allies; other
wise they would not have been able
to carry out the viscious order te
drive innocent people on the deser
, to starve, or to be killed as unspea4
able soldiers chose to kill them.
General Azgapetain states tina
there were 100000 Armenian mer
were fighting against Germany. The!
/ were not as a unit, because they hat
no equipment with which to fight fo
themselves. Turks long ago for
hade the A-menians 60 keep frearm
n their houses. Armenia was a par
of the Turkish empire, and therefor,
was dominated by the Sultan.
| Chairman W. W. Astles, who wit
his executive committee composed o
the leading citizens of the city, plan
at once to follow up the. appeal mad
by the general, and to ask every pei
son in the county to contribute to tn
funds with which to help re-establis
these unfortunate people into thei
old country or self-sustaining bs
sis.
eff the people of America will saw
these people from starvation, the
will be able to take care of then
selves after the 1920 harvest
gathered" Gen. Azgapetain states.
