GREAT REVIVAL AT CAMBRIDGE
DIR. George w. Cook, Evangelist, Who
Conducted Revival Here, Has Success

DIR. George w. Cook, Evangelist, Who
Conducted Revival Here, Has Success
Cambridge, Md, is having a big re-
vival conducted by Rev. DR.. George
w. Cooke, evangelist, who two years
ago conducted a big revival in Smyrna
He has just finished a series of sue
cessful meetings at Laurel and now
Cambridge, Md, is being awakened.
So great are the crowds attending
the meetings in Cambridge that it is
now proposed to erect a large taber-
nacle to accommodate the crowds. At
6 o'clock Sunday night, the church
was packed. On Sunday evening it is
estimated that at least 1000 people
were turned away. DR.. Cooke sta
toned messengers at the doors to Tell
the overflow to go to the otheg
churches and it is said that all the
churches had unusually large crowds.
Rev. E. P. Thomas told the crowded
church at Cambridge that he never
had known a finer spirit of fraternity
in his town and it is now necessary
to open the large Sunday schol room
to accommodate the crowds. He has
already received $50 new members
out the revival, l,making a total mem
bership for Centenary Church of $50.

WHOLE NO. 1872
SMYRNA ASK TO BORROW $4,000
Town Council Authorizes Bill in Leg
islature To Take Care of Growing
Needs of Electric Light Plant

At a meeting of Smyrna Town
Council authority was given to have
a bill prepared and introduced in the
Delaware Legislature giving Smyrna
the right to borrow $4,000 for town
improvements subject to a referendum
vote. Smyrna Town Council has TAX
en- this step to "play safe" with its
electric light plant. Business, since
the present plant was installed, has
grown with such leaps and bounds,
that the plant has been about loaded
to its capacity and when found nee
essary to do so, Smyrna will have to
substitute one of the 100 XIV. units
for a $50 XIV. or 200 XIV. units
and new boiler. Council will not do
this until they are forced to it and
since the Legislature will not meet
for another two years it was deemed
avisable to get the bill passed and
have a referendum vote taken at the
annual town election or a special cleo
tiOn. While the bill allows for other
town improvements to be made under
the act, Council wants it understood
that the bonds will be issued for cleo
trio light improvement only. What
ever street improvements necessary
can be taken care of, it is contended,
out of the general receipts. The bill
will be introduced sometime this week
and no trouble is anticipated over its
passage.
