Special E%vongeIistic
Services To Begin

Beginning Sunday morning, May
2Sth, special evangelistic services
will be held at the local Methodist
church under the direction Of the
pastor. Rev. Sam e Ashmore of
kosciusko will be the guest preacher.
He is well qualified for this kind of
service. There will be good music
under the direction of Mr.. Joe Meek.
Special effort will be made to reach
all those who may have gotten a
little slack in their attendance and
those who may have the habit of
not going to church at all. There
are a few of that sort in the com
munity. Some of them are SPLEEN
did people but they are missing the
tremendous satisfaction of having
some part in al effort to lift the COM
munity up to a higher plane of liv-
ing. We invite most earnestly the
sympathy and help of every God
fearing nan and woman of the COM
munity. Our desire is to help and
only to help. Will you not join in
our effort?

Engineer Recommends
Filtration Plant Here

m. o. P~ersonette, engineer with Q
concern in Omaha, Neb., was present
at the meeting of the Mayor ana
Board Tuesday night.
MIR. Personette gave a few peril
nent facts concerning the water sup
ply of Durant and offered various
suggestions about same. He said the
extreme color of the water and its
slightly acidity was caused by the
carbon dioxide gas and iron con-
tanned in large quantities in the
water. This caused the rust on
pipes and the rings around tubs, he
explained.
The speaker recommended a fill
tration plant would cost from $4,000
to $1,000 to install.
The Board took the matter under
advisement.
"A contract to rem a motor patrol
from Roy M. Lilly was made and a
contract to buy gravel from w. p.
Hammett, Lexington, was complet-
ed.
The motor patrol and gravel are
to be used in the blacktopping of
Durant streets now underway as a
PWlA project.
The men will work on the
streets Monday, it Is understood, and
In about two weeks will start work
with the gravel.
