was the “Going Away Shower” given
Mrs. Joe DeFoor by the Sewing

when a colored “washer woman,
in the person of Mrs. L. H. Isbell,

REVIVAL SERVICES AT
METHODIST CHURCH
Revival services at the Methodist
church are being conducted this
week by the pastor, Rev. A. B. Eliz
er. Services are held at 10:30 a.
m. and 8:30 p. m.‘ each day. Mr.
John Reed, well known business man
of Atlanta, is leading the singing.
Only fair-sized congregations have
been in attendance, and interest in
the success of the meeting is not
receiving the encouragement the
efforts of the pastor and singer de
serve.
Rev. Elizer’s sermons each day
are carefully prepared, and deliver
ed with earnestness and profound
30ul-stirring seriousness. Mr. Reed
sings God’s messages from a heart
filled with an ardent desire to bring
his hearers nearer to a Christian
life. That there is need of a great re
vival of religion is evident, but for
some reason the greater per cent of
even the church members are not
manifesting a spirit of interest and
co-operation that would fill the
church at each service with those
who would seek a higher plane of
Christian living.

FAMOUS TRICK BY BOYD
IS EXCITING FILM SCENE
William Boyd as a disarmed ami
captive “Hopalong Cassidy” in “Hills
of Old Wyoming,” the latest Clar
ence E. Mulford Western action
picture now at the Roosevelt The*
atre, pulls a famous Civil War scout
ing trick in escaping from the lead
er of a cattle rustling band.
Hopalong, riding ahead of his
captor down a narrow trail is brush
ed by a large branch of a pine tree.
He grasps the limb without being
detected, bends it forward with him
as he rides, and then lets it snap
back, catching the rustler full in the
face. The latter’s momentary con
fusion permits Hopalong to escape.
Cassidy’s exploit enables him tn
live to outwit and outfight a crook
ed government agent who uses his
guiltless Indian wards on the Wyom
ing reservation to cloak his cattle
stealing.
