Rev. W. l.. Evans of the Baptist

he will be in the Sunday supply work
temporarily. This will give time to

published at Dallas, Texas.
Rev. Evans has had charge of the
local pastorate for the past IA
months and has done a very success
full work here. The last of the
church mortgages was burned short
ly after Rev. Evans took charge of
the work, and in the IA months he
has served as pastor, the church has
raised approximately $4,000 for all
purposes, $4,000 being for benovel-
ences and the balance for local use.
The church is free from all debt and
has a balance in the treasury.
There has been organized under
Rev. Evans supervision a fine class
of the Junior Baptist Young Peoples
union, and the work of the young
people has more than doubled. The
Sunday school has doubled in both
attendance and efficiency, it is re-
ported. There have been 35 addi-
tions to the church, Is by baptism
and the balance by letter. The work
in every department is in fine con-
dition and ready to 60 forward with
out delay under a new pastor

at the church Sunday morning, and
special message to the church will
be given by Rev. Evans. The closing
service will be held in the evening

did reading on "Absalom."

large spoons full of questionable
mince pie by certain energetic mem
bers of the canteen service.
The battle now ragged in fury,
while the ammunition train boys
carrying nicely balanced peanuts on
knifeblades to the front line. The
toil-Worn soldiers in the front line
consumed the munitions and return
ed the shells in true and efficient
style.
In the cold, foggy dawn of No
vember morning, four lone com
panies of engineers crept forward
over the desolate fields bordering
the Meuse and with vast piles of
lumber proceeded to construct
bridges across the wide reaches Of
the river, represented by cold gray
mark on the floor. Scarcely had the
first balks been laid when with a
swish and roar the enemy batteries
MD away on the frowning hills
north OF the river, opened fire on
the bridges and the great shells
burst all about, scattering huge tim
bers like toothpicks, plunging vast
gobs of the builders into the sullen
water below. Time after time, the
determined engineers rushed back to
their task, but it WAS sorry collec-
tion of bridges that welcomed the
signing of the arnistice.
Mrs. Perry Ashcraft then sang a
pleasing number, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Billy Briggs favored
With an enjoye .bIe duet.
A number of choice cakes were
disposed of at a sufficient return to
'bout pay thea expenses of the ladies.
The remainder of the evening was
'pent in ds:acEng.
This event will be long remem-
'ered by Che Legion boys, and they
lope such affairs will become the
ule during the coming year. We feel
ure that the Legion and the Auxil-
ary Sill soon take a lead in social
ma rs, and also in civic affairs. in
ISL land.

insurance on the machine Of course
was no good because it was an act
of God ana not a stolen machine.
The car was gone-seemingliy for
good.
Along came the rains last week.
Just 40 feet away from the spot that
the garage stood in 1916 the dirt
and debris was washed off Of the
buried car. Naturally 1t wasn't the
car it had been by any means. Ev-
cry piece of wood was rotted away.
B. W. Sinclair, of the local Ford
agency on First street, took a crew
out to the river bed to uncover the
car. Then he purchased the re-
mains from Mr.. Baines and brought
the flood-washed and sand-caked
charger to his shops.
And here some very queer and
interesting things developed.
There was gasoline in the gas
tank. The rescue crew to prove it
was the real high-powered fluid OF
1916 days set match to it, and 1t
burned for over 30 minutes. But
that isn't all. Here is where Mr..
Fisk gets a good word and gives his
tires a boost. There were two tires
on the rims that were rotted away
from the wooden wheels that still
had air in them. One was solid,
while the other was just a little
soft. Both of these tirers had Weed
chains on them.
And here is yet another thing.
The light bulbs in the headlights
were just as good as ever. The un-
derneath of the front tenders still
had nice vanished surface, in fact
better than many of the finished
products of today carry. There were
many other things about the car al
so that caused comment.
The mechanics at the Sinclair
plant were busy going over the ma
chine. They will have it running and
it will be placed on the salesroom
floor at the local agency soon. 1t is
an interesting sight to look over.

"MOONSHINE"

There's moonshine on the ocean
there is moonshine on the sea;
There's moonshine in the valley
where the sunshine used to be;
There's moOnshine in the forest, and
moonshine on the plain,
And most of folks in general have
moOnshine on the brain.
On old Prohibitions conscience
there's heavy mountain dew,
And the home is smellin' funny
where the deacon makes his brew.
The cider mill is goin' and the cid
er's gettin' fine,
And the good old seedless raisin is
a "rasin" lots OF wine.
The moonshine courts are busy and
it takes a lot of kale
To buy the mash to feed them who
are in the moonshine Jail.
There's moonshine quite official
and Scotch that's contraband-
But what We hate the most to find
is moonshine second hand.
II seems that all the country is in a
moonshine rage,
There's moonshine in the pulpit and
there's moonshine on the stage,
Moonshine in the mansion, the bung-
allow and shack,
And the sheriff's dogs are bowling
out along a moonshine track.
I have a moonshine neighbor who
keeps filled up to the brim,
Who seems to think that moonshine
is only made for him;
But that's unjust and selfish you
surely must agree,
When there's so much of moonshine
and none for you and me.
Sing song of moonshine, a pocket
full of rye
The country's floating in it, but the
constitutions dry.
An Unknown Poet.
