working on a plan to illuminate the
court house, and court house lawn.
Since the lamp posts were removed
from thelawnthe court house hasbeen
So dark that the light committee of
the city council and the county court
have both realized that some plan
must be adopted TO illuminate the
court house.
Saturday night a searchlight placed
on the top Of one of the buildings on
the south side of the square was turn
ed on the clock on top of the court
house. Monday the light will be
focused on the lower part of the
court house and the clock lit by

for placing four searchlights on
buildings around the square. The ex-
pense of the undertaking will prob
ably be divided between the city and
county.
The lighting of the court house and
the clock is a thing which has been
advocated by the Ledger for a long
time. Those who were in town either
Saturday or Sunday nights cannot fail
to appreciate the difference which is
made in the appearance Of the

DECLARES She
WAS HEALED
BY PRAYER

Healed by prayer is the answer
of Mrs. Arlie L. Hunt, who for the
last six months has been belfast
with cancer and who now is able to
be up and enjoy conversation with her
family and friends, when asked about
the change in her condition.
For the last three years Mrs.
Hunt has been suffering with cancer.
On September 6, 1921 she became
belfast and since that time until II
o'clock Monday, March 6, 1922, when
according to Mrs. Hunt the miracle
of healing took place, she had been
unable to move without assistance.
Mr.. Hunt is the pastor of the
Holiness Church here. In the March
issue of the Holiness Banner he
noticed a letter from an unknown
member of his congregation asking
the prayers of the churches all over
the country for his wife at II o'clock
last Sunday morning. The church here
also observed the call the prayer and
at II o'clock Monday morning, Mrs.
Hunt says she was healed. When
asked how she felt a smile illumined
her face which in thin and shows the
imprint of much suffering and she
said, 81 felt the touch of God and was
able to take the first good breath I
have had in years. 1 was healed
through the goodness of God"
For the last six months Mrs. Hunt
has not been able to move in bed and
today she is sitting up and Tuesday
morning was able to take a few steps
unassisted.
Before her illness Mrs. Hunt
assisted her husband by singing in
evangelistic meetings but has been
unable to sing for some time. Mon
day evening she sang several of her
favorite songs and says she feels so
well that she has no other desire
than to praise God for His goodness.
Joy is the only word to express the
feeling that radiates in that house
hold now. Joy and praise to God for
the seeming miracle He has wrought.
