The Methodist Revival Closes The revival services conducted by Evangelists J. M. Bass land 0. W. Stapleton at the Methodist Church came to a close last night. The meet ing is conceded by nearly all to be the greatest revival ever held in Carrollton. The people were interested from the begining and the attendance taxed the seating capacity of the church at every service, and often many who arrived late could not be seated and would stand throughout the service. During the meeting 147 have con nected themselves with the differ ent churches of the city, of the a- bove number 125 joined by profes sion of faith. In taking leave of the congrega- tionat last nights service Evangelists Bass and Stapleton expressed their sincere appreciation of their hospi tality and kindness shown them by the people during their stay in the city. We have never heard more help ful advice to christains and those just entering a christain life than was so forcefully and eloquently given by the pastor of the church Rev. R. A. Edmonson. In a meeting where God has made His presence so manifestedly felt, as in the one just closed, it is sure to be a blessing to the community.

Hitchcock so long identified with the history of our community, died very sud denly Tuesdav May 23rd, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Cook on Stewart St. Mrs. Hitchcock was a woman of excellent traits of character, She was a loyal wife, a wise mother, a devoted daughter and sister, a faith ful friend and good neighbor, and above all a true and consecrated Christian. She loved her church, her bible, Gods children, and the services of the sanctuary. She leaves two daughters, an aged mother, two sisters and a brother, besides a host of friends and acquaintances who will miss her unselfish acts of love and kindness.
