A man , who goes by the name oj

automobile and clerked awhile ai
the Valentine House and latei

work at Frank Mogle's ranch soutl

To the General Public :
As announced through these
columns in a recent issue , the
official board of the M. E. church
lave secured Captain F. M. Hus
ton of Chicago , 111. , to conduct a
series of revival meetings in our
church , beginning about Feb. 17.
[ t is earnestly desired that these
meetings may prove a great bene-
3t to the town in many ways.
Anything which promotes the
moral and religious interests of
; he community cannot fail to make
its impression upon the social ,
educational and commercial inter
ests as well , and the man who has
neglected his family , and has failed [
to recognize the duty one owes to
the community will certainly be a
better citizen if be can be inspired
to the necessity of doing his best
to promote every interest which
will be to the welfare of the com
munity in which he lives.
Captain Huston is a man who
believes that the religion of Jesus
Christ is a practical religion and
one that is not only calculated to
make a man respectable on Sun
day ; but one which will make him
a better father and husband in the
home ; a better neighbor in the
community ; a better citizen in the
town. A better merchant , law
yer ; doctor , mechanic , farmer ,
stockmen or whatever his station
in life may by. Captain Huston
preaches the plain gospel story in
a way that is not only interesting ,
but so convincing that a man can
not help but be inspired to higher
'desires in life. He puts the gospel
in story form in such an interest
ing manner that children and
grown persons alike are held
spellbound during the sermon.
Plan to attend these meetings
from the beginning and get ac
quainted with Captain Huston
the first night. You will enjoy
the social side of his life as well as
the religious.

The Building & Loan is distinc
tively a home institution , managed
in the interest of all its stockhold-
holders , in which no clique nor
individual has ever had the least
advantage. Its management cer
tainly speaks for itself in the fore
going. It has provided homes
that never could have been had any
other way , and it should be en
couraged , first as a matter of busi
ness , and second as a means of
helping those secure a home who
could not "hope to otherwise.
A new series will likely be op
ened on closing of series "E" at
which time a large number of new
subscribers should join.
Cash will be paid to the non-
borrowing subscribers and the as
sociation is in first class working
order.
As a savings institution , earning
good big interest , nothing com
pares with it in this country. As
a means of getting a home it has
demonstrated its usefulness , and
keeps doing so.
The directors at this time are as
follows : D. E. Sherman , pres ;
J. H. Yeast , vice pres ; J. T. Keel-
ey , sec'y ; F. A. Cumbow , treas ;
R. H. Watson , H. Dailey , C. H.
Cornell , H. Hoenig , W.S. Barker.
