it and thus deprive your son and

A protracted meeting is . now
being held at the Columbus Bap
tist .church , Rev. 'J. ,H.:Mltchell
of Landrum agisting jthe pastor,
Rev. J. M. Walker, from Sunday
to Wednesday. Seldom is the
gospel of Christ expounded with
such clearnesfOand simplicity as
interpreted by Mr. Mitchell and
it is certain that the seed he has
planted at this meeting will not
be unproductive but will show
in the faithful endeavor of all
who heard him to lead belter and
truer lives. . i
