Last Sunday afternoon .services were held at < 30 in the Methodist. Presbyterian and /Baptist .churches, the pfervtces at the 'Methodjst being conducted by Rev.. T. A. Sikes. and was for men only. Mr. Sikes preached an unusually strong- sermon, and was not of the ordinary services held for men only, as there was nothing said which any lady could not have he&rd without tyushing. A large audience heard thLs sermoh. and it was one of his very best. The service at the Baptist church was held by Rev. W. F.West. and Was for women only. He. too. was grested by a large audience, and he gave the ladies some large chunks of wisdom to digest. At the Presby terian church. Rev. P. Cary Adams preached to the children, and no one could be found: who ha's a happier knack of getting close to the young sters ? thdrt Mr, Adams. All told, the services on Sunday were exceptionally good.
