REVIVAL SERVICES.
Meetings for men women and
young people.
Evanglllst Frank A.' Miller, of Elgin,
Ills, arrived Tuesday evening from lone
where such a remarkable meeting has
just closed, and began a union evange
listic meeting in Lexington. There
was a fine crowd at the opening service
and It Is hoped that these meetings
will prove a great blessing to the people
of our churches and to those outside of
any church. There will be services at
3 p. m. and 7;30 p. m. this week and
Chalk talks next week at close of
public school with coupon tickets free
to all the young people of our public
school.
FOR MEN ONLY.
Mr. Miller will give a talk to men
next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in
the Congregational church on the
subject. "Three, fatal steps in the life
of a young man." Let every man
about Lexington please to attend this
service and hear this talk which
stirred lone to the depths. Tickets
will be distributed announcing the ser
vices and a large crowd . Is expected.
In Walla Walla Wash, the crowd pack
ed the Kaylor Grand Theatre with
chairs In aisles and were deeply moved.
At the same hour the women will
meet at the Methodist church and Mr.
Miller will speak to then for ten
minutes at 3 o'clock sharp, while the
men are conducting the opening service
in the Congregational church, then the
service will be led by women,
WOMEN TOMORROW.
Mr. Miller will speak to women and
girls tomorrow Friday afternoon at 3
o'clock at the Congregational church
on "Three great questions touching the
home." Every woman should hear
this earnest plea for better homes and
better manhood and wamanhood.
Let us all plan to attend these meet
ings as they must be limited to a few
days. '
Owing to the revival services being
conducted at the Congregational church
the regular preaching services of the
Methodist church are called in for next
Sunday, both morning and evening.
There will be Sunday school at 10
o'clock at the Methodist church Sun
day morning as usual and the regular
Epworth League services at 7 p. m.
The pastor of the Lexington Metho
dist church requests us to say through
the columns of our paper that he trusts
that the members of his church will
lend their aid in every way they can to
the revival services now being conduct
ed at the Congregational church.
One who can not rejoice at the
success of revival services in a church
else than their own Is either lacking In
the true christian spirit, or else in
mental endownment, oft-times both.
Good churches enhance the value of
every dollars worth of property In the
community where these churches are
situated hence from the very lowest
of motives, personal interest, every
citizen of Lexington and surrounding
community should lend his aid to the
revival services being conducted at the
Congregational church.
The revival meetings here have
been successful beyond the most
sanguine expectations of the churches
of our city. They have met with far
greater success than any other revival
meetings that have ( visited our city In
the past, having over one hundred con
versions. Many of the leading busi
ness men of the city have been added
to the list of Christians, and Rev.
Miller who is conducting the meetings
will 'close them Sunday night with a
long list of new friends. Proclaimer.

The lone city council is now holding

rush the installment of our electric

raised and the council is now open for
bids from firms to furnish the material.
They expect to install a 500 16-candle
power dynamo and vill put in about 300
lights now, .already having calls for
nearly that number. The total income
of the water works for January was
$33.25 and that for February will be
over $ 1 00. With the city water-works

which can be run with the same
engine which is now in use, there will
be a revenue coming ' in from thi3
source.
