There are times when it seems that
"news" is as scarce as "hens teeth"
and this is one of the times. No
one seems to know, or have even
heard of anything out of the ordi
nary. Well, we have one consolation,
at least; if we do not have anything
to write about we simply do not have
to write, so that's that. We do ap
preciate the few notes that have been
contributed.
BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS
There were 380 in Sunday School
last Sunday and we were delighted to
see every one that was present, but
we would like it much better if on
next Sunday there would be 400 or
more. What about it folks? The peo
ple are here if we only go after them
in the right way.
Mr. P. C. Hawkins, church treas
urer made his financial report to the
church last Sunday morning and' it
sounded pretty good, but if all the
members during the past year had
done their best what a glowing re
port it would have been.
The pastor announced that he
would leave Monday to hold a meet
ing at Great Falls, S. C., and Mr. J.
C. Hames would have charge of the
prayer meeting on Wednesday night
of this week and also next week. He
will arrange the programs and secure
those needed to help him.
Rev. Smith also announced that al
though we had a chautauqua here last
week another one was coming. A
Bible chautauqua, to be at the church
next Sunday morning and evening
and the Sunday following at the us
ual hours for service. Dr. E. B. Dil
lard, Bible student and lecturer is
to deliver four Bible lectures here.
Two next Sunday and two the fol
lowing Sunday. He will also teach the
Young Men's Berean class these two
Sundays. The public is cordially in
vited to attend these services.
The pastor asked his hearers to
read the 15th chapter of John when
they went home. His text was the sth
verse of this chapter. He used an ob
ject lesson demonstrating how
branches of one kind of tree, or plant
may be grafted into the body of an
other specie.
At the evening hour the text was
the latter part of the 23rd verse of
Hebrews 10. "For He is faithful that
promised." One of the largest Sun
day night audiences in many months
was present and the message was de
livered with an earnestness that grip
ped the audience.

We stated above that news seemed
rather scarce and after we had jotted
down the few items we had we went
out to make a last search for more
and ran into a regular walking en
cyclopedia composed of —well sev
eral persons. A great deal of the news
concerned some of those in the crowd
and as soon as it was stated we were
warned that we would be standing
before recorder's court, or some other
kind of a court while some declared
they would take justice into * their
own hands and so we are in a very
precarious position and as we would
sooner go hang than offend some of
them we will play safe.

| See this special ESsS
| chassis display
f and the costly car way it is built
The most important part of your car—is the part you never see!
But now we are especially displaying an Essex chassis to show the
costly, fine-quality way it is built.
If you could place it first, beside a $3,000 make of chassis—
and then beside a chassis in the Essex price range—you would
have dramatic, visual proof of the fine-car Essex construction, as
distinguished from the practice of cars in its price field.
You would find the same steering wheel of hard rubber and steel
core in Essex and the $3,000 car. You woulcLfind the .same Timken
tapered wheel bearings, the same roller tappet bearings, the same
use of five cross members in the rigid frame. Cars of Essex price
> class usually economize with mushroom tappet bearings, ordinary
roller bearings in the wheels, and three cross members in the
frame.
Aside from such self-evident superiorities as its brilliant perform
ance, beauty and quality that you can see and feel in the very up
holstery, the wheel you handle and the hardware you touch
please compare with any car—the advantages we have itemized
here because they speak for the complete quality way in which
the new Essex Super-Six is built—things seen or unseen.
