The bake that was held was a great
success, about $45 being realized. We
wish to thank all who so kindly con-
trlbuted anything towards it. Those
who did not give anything to the bake
will be asked to give money. This
money will be used to buy carpet for
the church floor.
The Shawnee Church has been un-
der repair for nearly a month. It has
been neatly painted inside and out, and
a new roof put on, and now the floor
is being oiled. We owe most of this to
Rev. c. E. Dryden, as he was the one
who started it. He saw that the church
needed to be repaired and by the help
OF some of the other men around here,
they have made a decided improvement
in it. We all wish to thank Mr.. Dry
den for fixing the church, and let us
show him that we appreciated what he
has done by coming out to the services.
After working so hard he has now
gone on a vacation for about a week,
and we all hope he has a very enjoy
able trip.

Veteran Speaker
Coming

DR.. L. G.. Herbert is one Of the
widest known men in the Lyceum.
He came from a village pastorate
to the platform, and, in a very
short time, became noted for the
clarity Of his thinking, the energy
Of his work and the might Of his
OratOry. His personality is com
pelling. He is a strong, virile, red
blooded man. He weighs 200
pounds, has a strong voice, we'll
modulated, keen eyes and open
ears. He has lectured all over the
United States, clear across Canada
and in Mexico.
DR.. Herbert has been student
Of men, boys and books all his life
He knows men, their temptations,
their struggles, their ambitions,
their hopes and aspirations. He
is as intensely human himself as
a man can be. He has worked
his own way to the commanding
place he occupies, and is SCARED
with the marks Of many battles
with adverse fortune.
DR.. Herbert's father was, for
fifty years, a Methodist preacher,
Of the old sort who swan his horse
across swollen streams, carried the
Bible, the Discipline and the Hymn
Book in his saddle bags all over
northwestern Ohio in the early
days Of Ohio Methodism. Herbert
was the first lon born to his
father, although the old preacher
was well in the f1fties when the
son was born. The older Herbert
was also a "forty-niner," and
preached on the streets of the then
goddess San Francisco, with Rev.
-afterward Bishop-William Tay-
IOr, OF heroic memory. DR.. Her
bert's paternal grandfather erected
the first mission church built by
the MethOdists, the rebuilt edifice
now standing on the original
ground at Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
About the church lies the dust of
the celebrated Wyandot Indian
chiefs - Between the Logs"
''Bloody-Eyes," "Gray Wolf," and
others Of that stately tribe Of red
men.
DR.. Herbert's ancestors have
been preachers, teachers, lawyers;
and the family has been noted for
its orators. So the doctor comes
honestly by his. oratorical gifts.
And his oratory is of the intense
type, expressing vividly the vision
OF a strong man. His lectures
challenge thought, inspire vision,
and urge to service. The person
ality OF a strong man runs through
all his work. Many people agree
with him and some differ from
him, but all grant him the cour-
age Of his convictions, the honesty
Of his purpose, and the sincerity =.
De his motives.

DENTON FIREA[EN's CARNIVAL

Denton Firemen's first big carnival
is growing daily nearly and daily ii
is becoming more of a reality. On
Tuesday evening the Carnival Com
mittee met representatives of two car
nival houses and gave their order for
the goods which will be sold at car
nival. This matter took up practically
all of the time during the evening, but
the members present were very much
interested in the buying.
Among the thing purchased were
those beautiful cupid dolls, with the
smiling countenance, the laughing eyes
and the pretty dresses. Some of these
are made useful as well as ornamental
and have electric light fixtures for
table light. Then there are some dolls
that say mamma" and teddy bears
and dogs with electric eyes.
Blankets, great big Indian blankets,
that make splendid lounge covers, bas-
kets of groceries and live chickens,
fancy work and candy. One can find
most anything for sale at this big car
nival, and the prices are cheap.
That great big merry-go-round that
is coming is practically a brand new
one, only having been in operation two
years. During the winter it was all
nicely vanished and looks just like
new. Won't the children and some OF
the grown ups have just lovely time
on, this great joy rider?
Can you shoot straight? If, not, you
can practice at the shooting gallery
which will be on the grounds. And
those right handed and left handed
pitchers, won't we have fun watching
them try to knock the babies down?
Every one who goes, and that means
everyone in Denton and the county,
will have Just loads of fun at the car
nival. Don't forget the dates, Septtem-
Der 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, on the school
grounds, corner 9Th and Franklin Sts:
We almost forgot to remind you OF
the big free attraction every night
when Arthur Sherwood, the Human
star. will perform aerial stunts on
the grounds. This attraction is free

SECRETARY WALLACE
INVITED TO FAIR

One of the principal guests which
the Delaware State Fair management
expects to entertain at the Fair which
opens at Wilmington, next Monday
Labor Day, is Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace. Because of his desire
to advance agriculture throughout the
country, Mr.. Wallace is anxious to
meet the farmers of Delaware and
realizes that the Fair offers the best
opportunity.
Country agents from Sussex, Kent
and New Castle counties will have
wonderful exhibits at the Fair. Each
agent will show how science has aided
the farmers in selecting seed, in prop
er fertilization and in cultivation of
crops and harvesting methods. The
accomplishments achieved by Della
ware farmers in fighting crop pests
that have in the past worked thous-
sands of dollars worth of damage will
feature the exhibits.
The farm exhibits from each county
will be the largest assembled for any
Fair ever held in Delaware. The
bumper crops of produce and fruit
have afforded an excellent selection
for unusually big fruit and produce.
]. Writ Willis in charge of the horse
racing for the Fair, announces the
biggest four days meet ever witnessed
in the State. Some of the fastest
trotters and PAGERS that have ever
been seen in Delaware are entered
and the judges and officials of the
meet which have been carefully Sc
lected will see to it that so far as
racing conditions go, the best horse
will win.
The automobile races on Friday, the
closing day will furnish the thrills
for those who like a display of nerve
and daring on the part of motorists.

Morris, who died August 29th, 1921.
He slumbers so sweetly,
Oh let him sleep on,
His sickness is ended,
His troubles all gone.

Until God in His mercy
Came down from above,
With angels that whispered
That sweet message of love.

Rev. Skaggs has just retired as

His record for marriages averages

"As long as it is legal, I marry
them"
And now that he is out of the
