Two Fine Rains Com
plete the Corn Crop

1t is conceded that the Weakley
county corn crop is made now, since
the fine rains, one of which fell Sat
urday morning between A and 6
o'clock and the other Saturday night
with showers Sunday afternoon
The ground was thoroughly saturat-
ed and the best season since plant
ing in early May was afforded.
Our best informed men say the
corn crop will be record breaker,
since the acreage is the largest,
perhaps in the history of the county.
Much land that was prepared for to-
baccO and potatoes was seeded to
corn, due to lack of seasons for
setting. Already many predict the
price of corn at gathering time will
not be over SO the barrel. All other
crops are in fine share

Sharon Union Meeting
Was Great Success

The Sharon union meeting, joint
ly participated in by Methodists,
Cumberland Presbyterians and U. S.
IA. Presbyterians, was wonderful
success. There were between 45 and
$50 conversions and an equal num-
der of additions to the three church
ses participating in the revival, which
was conducted by DR.. Hendrix in a
large tent. The town and commune
ty were wonderfully benefited and
lasting results will follow. Evangel-
list Hendrix is, man of ability and
thoroughly familiar with the script
ures. He has many warm friends
at Sharon who hope for return en-
engagement for him in the future.

40 PEOPLE TO Be
IMMERSED SUNDAY
Mass Meeting Service to be
Held at Fair Grounds at 3
p. m. Close Sunday.

There never has been more
fruitful religious revival held in
Dresden than the Fox-Brown meet
ing at the tent here. There never
has been more interest manifest in
the salvation of souls than during
the tent meeting now in progress
here, and the entire town is happy
that Messrs. Fox and Brown are
here. Pastor Hale of the Mission
airy Baptist church, through whose
instrumentality these able men were
brought to Dresden, has labored I'M
ceasingly for the success of the meet
ing, and while Rev. Fox has deliver
ed a series of sermons never sur
passed here, Bro. Hale has sown the
seed for the results and his member
ship has been loyal and steadfast in
his every undertaking.
Mr.. Fox's plan Of revival meet
ing is entirely original. His discour-
SEES are clear-cut, convincing, grip
ping, logical and go straight home to
the hearts of his hearers He i'm
presses us as being profoundly con-
secrated mana man thoroughly i'm
bued with the spirit of his Master.
There is nothing sensational about
him or his manner of preaching, and
while he is conservative and liberal
in many matters, he does not mince
words in denouncing worldliness.
He is an orator of no mean degree.
Every word uttered by him seems
to fit right into its proper place.
But the time for his departure
draweth nigh. We wish he could
linger here always. With his going
there is a "God bless you" upon
every tongue of every denomination.
Up to Wednesday morning there
had been So conversions, and 55 ad-
ditions to the Baptist church, 40 by
immersion. The ordinance of bap-
tism will be administered Sunday
afternoon at the fair grounds fol-
lowing the regular Sunday after
noon mass meeting. This mass meet
ing will be held at the fair grounds,
beginning at 3 O'Clock Doubtless
there will be many additions to the
other churches, none of which have
extended the invitation since the be-
ginning of the revival.
Services will be held the remand
err of the week as usual-afternoon
and night. Sunday morning Mr..
Fox will doubtless make short talk
to the Sunday school children at the
tent just prior to the regular II
o'clock service. Then Sunday at 3
at the fair grounds and back to the
tent Sunday night. Subjects for Sun
day have not been determined upon,
Bro. Fox informs our reporter. The
meeting will very likely terminate
Sunday night. Mr., Fox goes from
here to his home in Paris, KY, and
Mr.. Brown, whom all have learned
to love, goes to Florida, where he
will sing in revival.
It is but fair to say that every
service has been attended by large
audience, and the evangelist has Of
ten expressed his appreciation for
the large and respectful hearing
given him.

Long Dispute Over
St. Louis's Founder
Has Been Settled
Missouri Historical Society
Declares Pierre Laclede,
French Fur Trader, Was
Man Who Established City

ST. LOUIS. Nov. Is (By Mail). A dis
pute as to who founded st. Louis has
been settled, in the opinion of the Mis-
souri, Historical Society. The society
asserts Pierre Laclede, French fur
trader, was the founder.
Records Of the society show that
Laclede directed Auguste Chouteau,
fourteen years old, to land on the site
Of the city. Chouteau with party set
the records, and Laclede arrived later.
but was recognized as the founder
Recently proposition to erect 8
memorial for Chouteau was discussed.
The historical society announced that
Henri Chouteau, direct descendant of
Chouteau and member Of the society,
offered to pay the cost of the memorial
provided the monument would name
Chouteau as the founder of the city.
The offer was declined.
Then the descendant had an inscrip-
tion on the tombstone Of Chouteau re-
cut. The society declared the original
inscription gave the birth Of Chouteau
as 1850 and said he was sent by La
clede, but in the -recutting claimed
that the date of birth was changed to
174o, making Chouteau's age when he
arrived here twenty-four and making it
appear Chouteau was the founder.
Both sides in the controversy finally
agreed upon Father Lawrence ]. Kenny,
professor Of history at St. Louis
University, as arbiter in the matter.
Father Kenny, in his findings, veri-
fed the position Of the society and
said authentic records show that Chou
teau's mother was born in 1888 and that
if Chouteau was born in 1740, as main
tained by his descendants, his mother
would have been only seven years old
when. he was born. The arbiter sug-
gested that Chouteau be credited as
co-worker Of Laclede.
