Haggard Closes Great Meet ing at Gastonia. Gastonia, N. C., Oct. 9.—What is conceded by old and respected citizens of Gastonia, Rev. W. L. C. Killian, Dr. C. E. Adams and others, the greatest revival in his tory of the city was brought to a successful climax Sunday when thirteen weeks of gospel cam paigning in Gastonia ended. With a thousand people on the "Jit ney" lot Saturday afternoon four thousand Saturday night, five thousand Sunday afternoon and seven thousand Sunday night, under the canvas, a total of 17,- 000 people heard Evangelist A. A. Haggard in the four last services in Gastonia, completing a four weeks campaign in East Gastonia during which time 930 converts "hit the trail in the shavings." i During the Sunday afternoon ser vices, J. H. Parker, of East Air line street, an acknowledged Russ e'lite and "no-hell" advocate tes tified as follows: "I have been a follower of the Pastor Russell doctrine for seven years and have not been inside of a church for fifteen years. I have never per mitted my children to attend Sun day school and would rather have seen their heads cut off than to have seen them inside of one. I am a changed man, have asked God to forgive me and know I am a saved man through the blood 01 Jesus Christ." This testimony caused a near stampede, five thou sand people arose en masse, cheered and a revival of Pentecost was on. Mr. Parker professed con version to a city pastor and ac cepted Christ by faith at the close of the Haggard service on the Jitney lot Saturday afternoon. One hundred and fifty converts hitting- the trail in the last ser vices of the campaign ran up the total for four weeks in East Gas tonia to 930 converts and a grand BIG SUBSCRIPTION OFFER " You Qet ALL FOUR ol Theso MAGAZiNES and OUR NEWSPAPER Y ear O EacK FOR S2»OfS ?H'S EXCEPTiQ WAt> OFFER ?S COOP FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY scnpuoua may be ucw or renewal.

Four hundred of these are known to have united with five churches heard from. Churches and Sun day school attendance in these churches has increased 50 per cent and collections have been larger than ever before in the history of the five churches reporting Denominational churches so re porting are Baptist, Methodist and Prebyterian. For thirteen weeks of labor and sweat among the laboring people of Gastonia this "fruit bearing'' evangelist has received $2,756.63 for 2,830 con verts. When bootleggers, shiners, drunkards, gamblers, backsliding and slack-twisted church mem bers can be reclaimed and put to work for God at less than SI.OO per head, Gastonia has realized on the investment. Just a few of these reclaimed men have cost the city and county much more than that and continued in their means. After laboring for thirteen weeks in Gastonia industrial districts the largest crowds of the entire campaign heard Mr. Haggard in the closing service. As a testi mony of their love for the man, 7000 people stood as one Sunday night when asked by one of the ministers for an expression as to the advisability of inviting Mr. Haggard to Gastonia next year. In the closing service Mr. Hag gard paid beautiful tributes to ministers and people for the hear tiest co-operation he had ever re ceived. To the city officials for many courtesies, the chief of po lice and his officers for gratis and efficient protection, stating that not a car had been stolen in the thirteen weeks, and one man had lost anything, $20.00, and that had been recovered. He es pecially thanked the Gastonia Daily Gazette for the courtesy, of their columns and the publicity afforded the campaign. Other papers of the city, the Baptist Messenger and Gaston Times came in for their share. The prayers and best wishes of thousands of Gastonians will follow Mr. Hag gard and his party of splendid men and women to Forest City where they open a four or five weeks campaign Tuesday night. Every farm should have a name, and every farmer should have bus iness letterhead. It creates a good impression and is worth money. County Fair are well set forth in the following article, publish ed by County Agent Thrash as an introduction to this year's catalogues: "The third annual Rutherford County Fair will be held October lUth, 11th, 12th and 13th, one week after the Union Mills, Mt. Pleasant, Watkins, Oakland, Race Path and Mt. Vernon Community Fairs and one week before the State Fair. Although last year's fair was good as we could expect and better than most of the peo ple expected, we should, and ex pect to have a much better fair this year. We are going to im prove on every part of the last year fair. "Every Rutherford County far mer should take great pride in showing the people of the coun ty what he can grow on his farm and that he can live at home without the dependence of the cotton market. "It is the intention of our never-tiring President and Secre tary aided by an efficient direc tor from every township of the county to make our Rutherford County Fair a big success. We want every farmer and producer to feel that this is his fair and take a part in it accordingly. Co operate with your officials and see that your farm as well as your community is ,represented at the fair. "With the present day progress, the adoption of more improve ed farm machinery, better live stock, and pastures, better seed for our crops, use of more lime and legumes, deeper s plowing and shallow cultivation, Ruther ford county will shew through the fair in a few years that it is one of the leading counties of the South. It is the purpose of the fair to encourage friendly rivalry between communities and farms and thereby conserve our resources, enlarge our production and extend our efforts to pro duce not only our home supply, but at the same time furnish a surplus, which can be sold, at a good price through co-operative sales. -'_ This year every one may rest assured that the entertainment will be absolutely clean and high class. There will be an Aeroplane, Merry-go-round, Ferris Wheel, In dependent Shows, Free Shoots, Brass Band, Etc.
