strictly enforced.
The well, since the erection of the

FULL HOUSE
ATTEND REVIVAL
"Raising the Dead" Interesting
Topic Discussed Tuesday
Night By DIR. harrington
Contributed.

A full house was out at Central
Baptist church last evening and
heard DR.. F. H. Harrington expound
the scriptures on Raising the
Dead" He read and told of the
three instances where Jesus raised
the dead, all different ages, and ex-
planned that there are degrees in sin
but not IN consequences. A little
child can be just as dead in sin as a
grown or old person. He further
showed that Jesus had to overcome
difficulties in His personal work and
so will everyone who get the sin
ner and Saviour together.
Dr.. FarrirEtoa has been in the
ministry for several years and illus
trates his owa personal experiences.
Everybody should avail themselves
of the opportunity of hearing these
great messages by laying aside all
social and pleasurable engagements
for these two weeks.
Q. L. Fry, the choir director at
Central Baptist church, is truly re-
viving the old time gospel songs. Last
evening he sang Il Will Arise and
Go to Jesus" with all of his soul,
mind and strength that made every
body feel the power from above. The
Booster choir is growing in interest
and number at every service. The
large chorus choir has over fifty
voices and gives much volume to the
congregational singing.

1 900 MEN BATTLE FLOOD

VICKSBURG, April 10. = More

City, Ark, where the situation is crit

of the Mississippi river.
A break in the levee there at this

thousands OF square miles of fertile
farming lands in Southeastern Ar
kansas and northeastern Louisiana.
Many persons living in the threat

Two to four picker heads can be

Of cotton can be picked each trip
without injury to the plant or the
unripened boil.
This new device, it is claimed, can
pick three times as fast as the most
expert hand picker And the cotton
is Of much higher grade than that
picked by hand.
Southern cotton planters hereto
fore have been limited in their crops
to what they could pick with the
labor available.
With THIS device they will be able
to plant more cotton, cultivate it
better, and pick it three times as
fast when ripe without extra help,
the inventors say.
The machine already has stood up
under exhaustive field tests here.

LIONS HEAR
MISS STREETER

Not since the organization of tn"
Lions club more than year ago has
more enthusiasm been displayed than
Tuesday at noon, when the special
guest of honor, Miss Margaret Street
er, nationally prominent in musical
appreciation, gave an inspirational
lalk on better music in the schools
and community before the members
and invited guests, who heard her
with rapt attention and understand
ing.
In discussing good music, Miss
Streeter stated that the education Of
the day was along musical lines, with
the splendid programs neing given
by the Lyceum courses and various
other organizations for broadcasting
the best, and with monographs with
in the financial grasp Of every home.
''Music," she said, "is being stress
ed in all the schools, both city and
county, and the enthusiasm with
which the students demapd the best
in music"
Miss Streeter deplored the prevail
ence of so-called jazz music, saying
in emphatic terms that not a note
of real music could be discerned
throughout the compositions, and but
for the fact that it is passing fancy
rapidly being relegated to the low
elements from which it originally
sprang, the calamity of its existence
would be more serious.
"Parson" Brookshire gave a brief
talk on the elements Of Lionism, COM
mending Miss Streeter's remarks to
the members Of the club, and pledg-
ing cooperation with her in the eX-
tension Of good music

lines of education as mapped out by
Miss Streeter, and stating that much
good is being accomplished III the
city and rural schools here through
the instrumentality of Miss Ella M,
Polk, superintendent Of music.
!. Miss Georgia Harvey, who recent
lS won the Lions gold medal for the
best essay on the club motto over SO
high school contestants here, was
presented by Gordon Howell with the
handsomely engraved trophy, follow
cd by few well chosen remarks on
the excellent manner in which she
handled the subject.
Aubrey Hart, and Isaac Harvey,
successful winners of the medal Of
fered by the Lions in the rural
schools, themselves representing CON-
cord school, also received a similar
token of excellence for their essays.
