Number # 100th Anniversary Antioch Church. Occasion Sunday Promises to be Great Event. The winters are reasonably mild Next Sunday marks the one hun dredth anniversary of Antioch Mis sionary Baptist church, which is lo cated ten mile's north of Butler on state highway number three. The occasion will be fittingly observed and promises to be one of the nap- piest events ever celebrated in the county. Antioch is one of only two church es in the county that has attained the century mark and around it clusters some of the sweetest and most sacred memories and traditions such as to be found only in our dear Southland—days when families went early to church and spent the entire day listening to the word of God preached in its plain, old-fashion way, neighbors mingling with neigh bors and friends with friends, ex changing ideas and forming friend ships that last forever.

BUTLER VISITED BY FLOOD, WINDSTORM AND GREAT ELECTRICAL DISPLAY The greatest display of electricity ever witnessed here, accompanied by heavy wind and rainfall, struck But ler about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. The storm lasted only a short while but during which time people gen eral were greatly frightened. The storm proved to be only local, ex tending only a few miles in each di rection from town. The tin top of the Masonic build ing also that of Sugg’s garage were torn away by the wind while many shade trees were uprooted and minor damage done buildings and other property. Tlie residence occupied by Mr. Eugene H. Bazemore and family was struck by lightning as was also the city water tank but without seri ous damage to either. Considerable damage was done the light company’s lines, which caused the town to be without current most of the afternoon and part of the night.
