WILL NOT REACH As
Fl. BEFORE SUNDAY
Recent Heavy Rains Have Held Fall
Back Greatly.

| The report from the Government
Meteoroligist. w. T.. Barron. at Cairo
| yesterday morning gave the stage of the
river as 49, feet on the Cairo guage.
which was "A fall during the preceding
~ hours of < of foot. The prediction
for the next "a hours was the same as
the fall for the preceding IT has been
predicted that the fall would be con-
siderably greater. but heavy rains
throughout the Ohio Valley checked the
rapidity of the fall. The recent rain
extended up as far as indianapolis. on
the Tennessee as far 3 Florence. Ala,
and Oh the Cumberland as far as Nash
Vile The upper Mississippi continues
to fall. The weather prediction gives
rain for today in Tennessee but not for
Illinois and Ohio.
Mr.. Barron's prediction now is that
the river will not reach a stage of -
feet at Cairo before Sunday. barring
heavy rains.
The levee at Mile Seven is giving great
trouble now due to the continual caving
of the bank. Tuesday big cave-in
took part of the levee with il. Men are
being rounded up in great numbers for
service ON the levee throughout this
section and Lake County. A great
many of the men had been released at
ibt tlu bl ldSl Nttk Wllen IL was
thought that the levee was safe. 1t is
now only "a question of time: If the
wafer goes down before the cave-in has
a chance To get through the levee. the
danger will be over.
The water is now out OF every store
and is about off of Water street Ciin-
ton street has been badly washed by the
water, although the sandbagging during
the second rise has kept the water from
washing as badly as was the case the
first time. 4

JUBILEE SERVICES
FOR REV..PETTIE
Local Minister to Celebrate 5Oth Or
dinatiOn Anniversary.

Sunday, May 18th, will be a great
day for the First Baptist Church of
this city and for its beloved pastor, the
Rev. A. s. Petite. That day marks the
fiftieth anniversary of his Ordinat ton to
the ministry-a long ministry which
has been faithfully devoted to the SER
vice of his Master and one which has
placed him in the front rank of the
ministry of not only his chosen denom-
inatiOn but of the entire Christian re-
iigion throughout the Southland. Dur
ing the fifty years of his ministry he
has occupied some of the most import
ant pastorates within the jurisdiction of
the Southern Baptist Convention.
In point of service he is one of the
oldest in the denomipa tion.s In his own
words he lis still in his youth, but there
are only few men who has been so
long in the ministry"
He came to the Hickman church to-
ward the close of 1920 as pastor, and
under his leadership the church has
grown and prospered at a rate unequal
led at any other time in its history.
During his pastorate he has endeared
himself to the people of his congrega-
ton and has secured a vast following of
friends among the other cOngrega tionS
of the city.
On Sunday, May 14th, a jubilee SER
vice will be held at the church in honor
of the splendid record made by the pas
tor and his length of service, at which
a special sermon and program now be-
ing arranged will be given, and all
members of the church as well as others
interested are especially urged to at
tend.

CAROLINA PLAYMAKERS FUN

From the News and Observer: "To
a thoroughly responsive and sympath-
etic audience, The Carolina Playmakers
showed at the Academy in an evcellent
performance of three folk plays with
the climax of their achieN ement com

which went with a terrific bang, and
made the house rock with applause. -
Don get the idea that none of these
plays are going to be amusing or else
you will be badly disappointed. They
are full of laughter interspersed with
seriousness, and are written and play
