Mrs. Etha Alexander has been
spending several days at the home
Of her aunt, Mrs. Lucy Maxwell, at
Woodgrove. Mrs. Maxwell is no
longer young, and has been afflicted

weather leaves.
Mrs. Harry Grandstaff Recovering
Mrs. Harry Grandstaff, who un-
derwent a goitre operation in Co
lumbus hospital, was so far improv-
ed as to be able to be removed to
the home Of Jesse Grandstaff, in Co
shocton, about week ago, and if
the weather is favorable, she will
be brought to her home in Rein
ersville, Sunday, Feb. 2. She seems
to be making a good recovery.

School Teacher Suffers Frozen Feet
A lady teacher in the Forest
Grove schools is reported to have
had her feet and legs badly frozen
one cold morning last week, when
she went to help a small pupil to
get to the school house. The con-
dition of the roads made it impos-
sible to get the services Of a ply
sician.
1t is reported that the thermom-
eter got down to 20 degrees below
zero in ReinersvilIe on the coolest
morning last week. This will make
the prospect for peach crop very
slim for next season, though the
early cold weather last fall might
leave the buds in a condition where
they would stand much more cold
than when the fall is warm until
late when the buds are further de-
veloped, and when they are easier
killed. All we can do is to wait
and see.
The exceeding cold weather has
put the patrons of the M. P. church
here in the notion of securing new

Their forsaking all showed their

they had forsaken palaces and gold.

him more than our friends and any

Our Call to Serve With Christ,
Luke 5:1-28, for Sunday, Feb. 2:
What are some places outside the
pulpit available for the preacher to-
day?
Why did Jesus not choose his
disciples from the educated class?
What are the qualifications for a
true disciple Of Jesus?
How are people called in Christ's
service today?
What is the difference between a
disciple and an apostle?
Glorious says: "In proportion as
we think we are right, we think 9TH
ers wrong. So the selfish man is
generally severe and uncharitable
in his judgment of others
Lesson prayer: 1--WE are grateful
for the larger possibilities of real
living and service made possible by
the coming into the world of Jesus
Christ"

How The Go-To-Church
Movement Is Going

How The Go-To-Church
Movement Is Going
Although it was colder, more peo-
pie We're out to the churches in Nal
ia and McConnelsyille last Sunday,
than were the previous Sunday,
which proves nothing except that
$40 people in our two communities
placed the privilege of fellowship
and worship Of God first and the
comfort of home and friends second.
Seeking first things first" has al
ways proven to be good common
sense, as well as sound scripture,
and a few there are that heed it.
May their number increase and may
each of us strive to make this
movement mean much more than
one in name only. Experience has
proven that the steady habit of
church attendance has done more
than any other one practice in
building character. The least that
you can do is to go-to-church some
place Sunday.-XX.

will at least receive a warmer re-

church services.
Reinersville schools were only in
session one half day last week and
there was no school on Monday Of
this week, and if the schools were
to open, with the present condition
of the roads, many of the pupils
would not be able to attend.
Tracy Smith of Oklahoma, who
has been spending several days at
the home of his mother, Mrs. Jen-
ME Smith, in Reinersville, went
Sunday to Lower Salem, to the
home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Eli
Morris, where Mrs. Smith has been
for several days past.
1t was expected that Mrs. Dor
sci Kincaid, who underwent an ap-
pendicitis operation several days
ago in a Mansfield hospital, would
be far enough recovered by last
Sunday, to be removed to their
home. She seems to be getting
along as well as might be expected.
Her mother, Mrs. w. w. Wilson is
still with her.
A son was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Dallas Garvin of GAINESVILLE, few
days ago. The father is the son Of
our towns people, Mr.. and Mrs.

ter, near Manchester church. Mrs.
Foster is at the Garyin home in

TOWARD BRITISH INFLUENCE
SPHERE IN N. W. ETHIOPIA

Black Shirts within three days,
and that the entire Lake Tana
area soon will be under Italian
control.
Following the caravan routes
from Socota, which was captured

their unobstructed march south
Their major objective was TO
plant the Italian tri-Color in the
northern confines Of Lake Tana.

Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, only 80
miles from Lake Tana itself.
