BIG WOLF HUNT ON TODAY.

Tom billiard of Sulphur Springs, Texas. arrived here Saturday night with a fine pack of hounds for the pur- pose of trying to capture alive, the big fleet footed wolf whose fiendish activ- ity in the nighborhoodS of Laneburg and Sutton has been the cause of so much trouble and alarm. Mir, Dillard and a party of Prescott sportsmen left early this morning for the wolf" country, where they were joined by Bunk billiard and d score of others, and before daybreak the big chase Is reported under way. It is hoped and believed that the hunters will meet with success some time today, as the hounds are noted for their great run ming qualities.
 It will afford quite a relief to the citizens down there when this disturb ing animal is either killed or captured.

 sary Program.

 A crowded house proved that the peo- pie of Prescott expected something good and they were not disappointed
 The program was begun by all sing ing Lead on, O. King Eternal" The Scripture lesson was read by Miss Ra- chael Gordon.
 The addresses by Mir. Dwight Cress. Miss Florence Whitesides Mrs Geo. Cress and Mrs. Roy Nelson, were in strucrive as well as interesting They brought out so clearly the organiza ton aim, development, and results of the Epworth League.
 The special numbers. solo by Mrs. W. C. Hayes. and readings by Miss Agnes Ellis and little Miss Gertrude Pye were enjoyed by all With her bear story" little Gertrude Pye es- pecially appealed to her hearers. The anticlimax of the evenings program was the collection, which amounted to s1365.
 The climax was a pageant which so clearly brought out the need of the Epworth league in church not only to reach the young people. but also to get trained and consecrated workers  for the foreign field.
 The congregation was dismissed with the league benediction, "So teach us 10 number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom"

MADE GOOD SHOWING.

Miss Elva Bush, Miss Miriam Cum mings and Mir Homer Graham of Pres colt, were the near winners in the state school contest at Hope Miss Bush receiving second honors in read ing; Miss Cummings third place in voice, and Athlete Homer Graham winning close seconds in track events. Tc be defeated by such narrow mar gins in contest with the states best. is yet complimentary and consoling tn the losers Both Miss Bush and Miss Cummings are possessed of a wonder ful talent, and both are destined to q future filled with still greater achieve ments.
 Homer Graham from the standpoint of athletic ability will likely develop into championship form. His defeats have been only hy inches. and with q little more training and proper coach ing, he will improve steadily until we read of him as winner of first place in state athletics.
 All in all we made a good showing one of which we have right 10 feel proud of. considering everything.
