IN BAPTIST CHURCH CIRCLES
Rev. A. D. Woodle, Pastor
The pastor will preach at both ser
vices next Sunday. All of the mem
bers are urged to attend, and the
public is cordially invited.
Why not attend Sunday School
next Sunday? Our school convenes
at 3:30 P. M., and we have classes
to suit all ages. A hearty welcome
awaits all who attend. And one is
sure to be benefitted by the services.
The Thursdy evening prayer ser
vice deserves more consideration on
the part of our members. This ser
vice would become a great power in
our church life if it were properly
appreciated. Do you want to see
your church grow, and prosper? This
may be accomplished through the
channel of prayer. Come to these
services, and 'et us pray together.
Food for Thought
Don’t stay away because the
church is not perfect. How lone
some you would feel in a perfect
church.
Some one has made this timely
comment: “The drinking man is the
last man hired, and the first man
fired.’’
What would your property or bus
iness be worth without the church?
Certainly not much. What then is,
the measure of your responsibility to j
the church?
Henry Van Dyke has wisely said,
“He who knows only how to enjoy
and not to endure is il’-fitted to go
down the stream of life through such
a world as this.”
“Let your light so shine before
men. that they may see your good
works, and glorify vour Father which
is in heaven.” Matt. 5:16.

STUNT "NITE” PROVES A
GREAT SUCCESS TUESDAY
Lyons has several times had a
stunt night, usually attended with
success from every standpoint, but
it is believed that Tuesday's Stunt
“Nite” was the best that has been put
on yet. •
Only three stunts were played.
The first one, by the Worth While
Club, was a thing of art, portraying
the “long ago” that brings back so
many pleasant memories, and makes
one wish that time might turn back
ward in its flight so that the happy
experiences might be repeated.
An entirely original stunt was
played by Messrs Clyde Odom, Gar
land Williams and Saffold King, in
which versatility of character was
strikingly exemplified, these young
men playing the parts of two tramps
on a tour and a local negro. Real
talent and a good sense of humor
and the rediculous were voted un
animously.
The winning stunt was a mock
chautauqua attraction, which might
better be described as a genuine, had
it been proceeded by the usual publi
city and rendered with the same set
ting as chautauqua attractions usual
ly are, for Mr. Edwin Thomas and
Mr. Walter Pharr, with Mrs. .A. L.
Moseley at the piano, rendered a
musical program which would com
pare very favorably with many chau-
I tauqua numbers rendered here.
A prize of $5 for the best stunt
was won by Messrs Thomas and
Pharr.
The financial success was very
gratifying to the Worth While Club,
who had sponsored the enterprise.
The funds will be used in the com
pletion of the park on Railroad
Avenue.
Mrs. A. L. Mosley, president of
the Club, states that sufficient funds
are now in hand to complete the park
according to plans outlined for the
Club by a landscape gardener sev
eral months ago, and that the con
tract will probably be let at an early
date.
The park will he a gift of the Club
to the city and its people and the
ladies are anxious that each citizen
have a sense of joy and pride in its
possession.

Calomel is a

Rheumatism
Calomel is mercury; quicksilver. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up belter and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go hack and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it » perfectly harmless and can
not salivate.
