Big Baptist Revival
WinBegin June II

A strong evangelistic team has
been engaged to conduct the revival
at the First Baptist Church. The
team consists of Rev. E. D. Solomon
and Stanley Armstrong and wife.
all of Dallas, Tex. This group of
evangelists, known as the Solomon
: Armstrong Evangelistic Co., hold
meetings und@$ the auspices of the
State Board of Texas. However, the
group is well known also in Missis-
slPPi and Louisiana, where they have
held many great meetings.
/ Rev. Solomon is not only recog-
nize as one of our great evangelists
by the Baptist people of Texas,
Louisiana and Mississippi, but has
successfully served as pastor of some
tof our larger churches, both in Mis-
slsSlppl and Louisiana. His last pas
toral work was with the st. Charles
Avenue Baptist Church of New Or
leans, where his labors were wonder
fully blessed for three years on that
great field.
The press where Reverend Solomon
recently held a great meeting char
acterized him as "a man of culture,
travel and religion; chaplain in two
wars and traveller in seventeen for
elgn countries; one of the most effec-
tive soul-winners in the American
pulpit today"
Concerning Stanley Armstrong,
the singer, DR.. NJ. E. Dodd, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, Shreveport,
La, says: II know of no other Cos
pei singer that l would rather have
assist me than Stanley Armstrong"
After a great revival conducted by
this company at Central Church, New
Orleans, last summer the pastor,
Rev. W. A. Jordan, said: 'The
music was wonderful, inspiring, up
lifting. The solos were grand Mr..
and Mrs. Armstrong sang many duets.
Their voices blend beautifully and
make perfect melody. There is no
effort to show off"
This same pastor says, concerning
the evangelist: Solomon is clear,
simple, safe and sound. He is con-
secrated, earnest and powerful in his
messages.
The Church Bulletin of the San
Angelo Baptist Church, of Texas,
designates Mrs. Armstrong as 'Pian-
ist, personal worker and leader of
women's work. A charming person.
atty and effective soul winner.
After a meeting held in Monroe,
La, the pastor said of Mrs. Arm
strong: "The junior chorus under
her leadership was one of the great
est attractions Of the meeting"
The meeting begins at II o'clock
Sunday, June 18th, just one week
from next Sunday, and continues for
two full weeks.
The large tabernacle on Pleasant
Hill will be used for all Of the SER
vices, insuring seating capacity for
all who come A great chorus choir,
composed Of more than one hundred
Of the best voices in town, will be
trained for the meeting.

Weather Interferese
With Tennis Contests

Due to weather conditions prevail
ing during the larger part of last
week very little Roadway was made
in the tennis tournament elimination
matches now being played to decide
the mems singles championship of
Bogalusa.
On last Tuesday afternoon Robert
Magee and George Leahy completed
their match, the first semi-final Of
the tournament. On Saturday before
last Magee had marked up the first
set to his credit with a score of 6 to /,
and when stormy weather necessi-
tated postponement of the match, he
second set stood 5 to 8 in favor of
Leahy. At the beginning of play
Tuesday afternoon Magee took the
first two games easily, then weak
ened somewhat and allowed Leahy to
take the next two games, making the
scere even, one set apiece. The third
set was a hard, holly contested match
from beginning to end, neither player
showing marked advantage over the
other, the final score being II games
to nine in favor Of Leahy.
This match between Magee and
Leahy was the only one played off
last week and the final outcome of
the tournament is still very doubtful.
by next week the weather
permitting, the competition for the
prizes offered by the City Drug Store
and the Magic City Tire Company
will have narrowed down to a very
few players.

Local Plant Running
Nights ToCanBeans

Bogalusa citizens who have not Wis
tied the newest industry-the plant
of the Bogalusa Farm Products Co.
cannot realize what busy place it
IS, nor the money which it will bring
to the city.
There are about fifty persons on
the payroll, majority Of whom are
women.
The farmers have been bringing in
beans SO rapidly that they have to
await their turn in weighing the
beans. On Tuesday it looked like
'threshing time" back in the Middle
West, as their were seven or eight
wagons in line awaiting their turn.
The supply of beans is far in ex-
cess of the capacity of the plant, but
Manager Lott has adopted a plan Of
running "a hours a day and will con-
tinue this schedule as long as the
beans continue to come in.
When one farmer was asked why
such tremendous supply of beans,
he stated there was a good crop and
about the only thing the farmer could
do this kind of weather was to pick
the beans and bring them to town.
"ToO wet to pillow and the water mel
ons are not ripe" he said.
The plant is turning out 5000 cans
Of beans per day and it is expected
that by the end of the week this will
be increased to 10000.
Never did a canning plant start
under more favorable conditions and
there is every indication that those
who own stock in the plant will soon
find it a good investment.

TAKE LONG MOTOR TRIP
TO ATTEND GRADUATION

Mr.. and Mrs. A. N. Fortenberry

son and Meridian, to Mashulaville,
near Macon, Ca, to attend the grad
uation of sister, Miss Polite Forten-
berry, of Mashulaville Agricultural
High School, returning via Philadel-
phia, CARTRIDGE and Canton. They
found the roads good going, but bad
on the return trip owing to excessive
rain.
They enjoyed their visit around
Macon and report passing through one
little Indian village in which only one
person could speak English. Surely
it seemed strange to meet with our
real red brother again and associate
with their customs and habits, so diff
ferent from ours.

All Games Here Sunday

After a baseball team had been or

urday and Sunday of last week and
when the visiting players arrived from
New Orleans Sunday, the game had
to be postponed on account of wet
grounds.

weather clears up.
