j VOLUME XL1. NO. id Revival Services on il at the Baptist Church1 A large attendance was noted at! the opening service of the eerie* ofi revival meetings at the Baptist 1 church Sunday evening, when Rev. B. E. Morris, pastor o? Western Avenue Baptist church. Statesville, preached hir. initial sermon in Boone. 7n the absence of the pastor, Rev. f. A. Hicks, the visiting minister was presented to his audience by Rev. C. < i H. Moser, of the Methodist church, ! both ministers bringing out the point < that the meeting was in no wise sec- ; tarian but was being conduced for s the common good of all. Methodists, ' Lutherans, Presbyterians, Adventists ' and all others are cordially invited to take part with the Baptists in ! these meetings. A wonderfully fine t spirit of co-operation was exhibited ' in the recently closed Methodist re-|i vival, and the other churches of the |' /';iown arc now cancelling so far as 1 * 'possible their regular services, in or- ! der that all may be privileged to at- 1 tend the Baptist meetings. 1 Rev, Morris brings his hearers un- < usually powerful messages, dealing > directly with the fundamentals of i the Christian religion, and made itj : plain to his audience in the first de- i livcratice that no sermons would be;' preacned primarily from a text deal- t ing with ladies' fashions, bridge par- ' ties, or any of the frivolities so" often '* discussed rom the pulpit, hut discourses direct from the Scriptures jt would be used to direct the wayward to the straight and narrow path. !< The services are being held each! i day at 3:30 in the afternoon and | < ,7:30 in the evening. i i AUGUST EXPENDITURES CN | t 7TH DISTRICT HIGHWAYS j The sum of $71.,892.66 was spent .. ?n the highways of the seventh dis t.rict last, month, according to the report of Oflice Engineer C. A. Richaidson, says the Winston-Salem \ Journal. However, this does not in- i elude money spent for work clone t with state equipment and with local! 1 convict labor. It is the sum actually! I spent with contractors. The largest amount was spent on \ the road ieading from Millers Creek 1 toward i5oone in Wilkes countv. 1 Other amounts spent on projects in t this section include.

The funeral was con * ducted from the Baptist church, the ' Rev Pr A. Hicks performing the last 0 sad rites, after which the remains f were laid to rest in the city eeme- <i tery. f Mr. Grage was a plain, unassum- * 2? 1- - , , ituijtK mult, one wtjio auenaea SCrTCCty to his own affairs, argl let his neighbors alone, and as a result he was 1 held in high esteem by those who * knew him best. He had been a con- v sistent member of the Baptist church r for many years and did his best to 1 up t" its ordinances. s Mr. Gragg was twice married? * first to a Miss Lookabill, to which t was born one daughter, Mrs. Norris; and tHfe second time to a Miss Green, and six children were born, t " Mrs. Mary Anna Julian of Piny I Flats, Tenn., who was present at the I funeral being the only survivor of s the second family. c / t A FINE REVIVAL Rev.

Bing; :iuim were visitors at chapel exercises Friday morning:. Judge Oglesby spoke to the student body and used as the basis of his splendid address a sign he once observed upon a house, "For rent, with or without power.*' From this simple sign he stated that ! the future life of his hearers would either be a power in the community ! or else, like the river before it is harnessed, it would run on and on into the ocean and be lost forever. He mentioned some of the most important powers every man shduld develop ? the power of love, of knowledge, of character, of appreciation of the beautiful, of physical fitness and of service to others, using apt illustrations to carry home each point. It is doubtful if any address ever delivered to the pupils of the school has made a more lasting impression upon the student body. Mrs. Maude Spainhour is visiting relatives in Morgan ton. Rev. Walter E. Wilson, former pastor of Cove Creek Baptist church and teacher in the high school, was a visitor to the community over the week-end.
