After Dinner Tricks

A large sulphur match is held between
the thumb and fOrefnger; one match in
each hand. The matches are then ap-
parently pushed right through each
other, back and forth, as often as de-
sired.
The tip of the right finger was pre-
viously moistened. This causes the head
of the match to stick to the finger. so
that the base may be drawn clear from
the thumb, which allows a passage for
the other match to pass through. As
the hands are brought together and
drawn apart quite rapidly. no one can
detect the movement.

The coming of DR.. G. Campbell
Morgan to Wilson is an epochal evInt
in the life of the town and the
churches. Wilson has had some dis
tinguished visitors in the past but no
other man has come to our town who
is so nearly a world personality. If it
may be said OF any man that he is
the greatest living preacher it can
be said of Campbell Morgan.
DR.. Morgan will be in Wilson Nov.
