let the older pupils help gather
corn. School commenced again
Monday.
A slow drizzling rain fell here
nearly all night Tuesday night
and all day Wednesday. It puts
the ground in splendid condition
for the winter. Corn shucking
is delayed a little, but there is
plenty of time for that, as good
progress has been made. The
sun came out clear and warm
Thursday morning and every
thing looks bright once more.
J. H. Seid says that while oth
ers are bragging about their fine
corn he wants it understood that
he is something of a corn raiser
himself. He has an ear of corn
that has twenty-six rows on, and
.there are sixty-two grains in a
row, making a total of 1612 ker
nels to the ear. If any one can
beat it let them produce the corn.
That is certainly a big ear of
corn.

We take pleasure in again call
ing the attention of the public
to the special meetings now
oeing held at the Christian
church by State Evangelist
Samuel Gregg. Bro.Gregg is a
man of force and very logical
in his preaching, and best of all
is the sweet spirit in which he
presents his subject. If you are
looking for something to offend 1
you will only hear the preaching,
of the "the word," and Bro.
Gregg is surely as the apostles
of old is "as wise as a serpent
and harmless as a dove." His
themes for the rest of the week
and over Sunday will be: Friday
evening, "Repentance." Satur
day evening, "The .cleansing of
Naaman." Sunday, 11 a. m.,
"Gods Memorial;" 7:30 p. m.,
,'The church and its blessings."
Other announcements later. ..
Again we invite"the attendance
of the public, and to the mem
bers and their families remem
ber the Thanksgiving day ser
vices. J. W. Sapp.
J M. Alread of St. Deroin pre
cinct died Monday night of this
week, from pneumonia. Mr. Al
read lived alone on a small farm
near St. Deroin. About three
weeks ago some one remarked
that he had not been seen for a
few days, and when they went
to his home he was found sick.
He was cared for, and later re
moved to the home of a neighbor
where the best of care was taken
of him, but he grew steadily
worse until he died. The funeral
services were held Wednesday
and the remains laid at rest in
the Prairie Union cemetery.
Mr. Alread was a christian
gentleman who was highly re
spected in the community in
which he lived. He was super
intendent of the St. Deroin Sun
day school, in which he took
great interest, and where he will
be sadly missed.
