Though still more rainy than any other part of the day the house was nearly filled for the preaching service, and it was surely encouraging for a revival to see the fine spirit and interest shown. O.

He, with a good full choir, has already a fine selection for a special number for next Sunday evening, and all will be pleased with the spirit of the song as well as the execution of the, same. But now, with all our efforts, it must be God to bring victory in a revival to the churches and salvation to the unsaved. May it please Almighty God to send such a wave of revival to Decatur anil vicinity that will never be forgotten. We will pray for it. we will believe for it. and will work for it. God help us.

In a basketball game played on the Pennville floor last Wednesday eveling the Geneva high school varsity earn met and defeated tlie fast team >f Roll, Ind., by the dose score of IS to 16. Neither team was able to get nuch of a lead over tho other, but i he Geneva lads led practically all of he way. Roll is a small town in tho I Muncie district and neither they or Geneva have a hall in which to play, 1 hence the argument was settled on the ' Pennville floor. Activities in Geneva over basketball will be practically at a standstill this winter on account of tlie fact that the boys have no place in which to play ind will just play off games which J they had previously scheduled when i they yet had hopes of securing a place in which to play. Their schedule J leaves them about ten games to play, I all away from home. | They have good material for a win I ning team with Claude Lough stand- I ing out as one of the best players in I the county at present and it was his I brilliant work that enabled the boys to I defeat the Roll aggregation.

We have gone to a Large Expense to give the town folks and farmers the best quality and cleanest coal here-to-fore unknown to the ordinary coal yard. We have been loading a great many farmers lately, and they tell us they are At Last Getting Satisfaction, Good Coal, at a Low Price, rescreened and leaded in Their Wagons in a Few Seconds at 75c a Ton Discount for hauling it. One man a few days ago drove in our yard for 3 Tons of Hard Coal, and he was Loaded and Ready to Go in 6 Minutes. “Well,” he said, “Until You Fellows Started This Idea of giving the farmer 75c a ton off for hauling his coal, besides Loading and Rescreening it for him, I thought the farmer was getting a Bum Deal from the coal merchant, and as you have made the investment, I surely hope the People Will Appreciate it as much as 1 Do Today, for the next time 1 can send my 12 year old boy after a load and he can get it as easy as I can, and make two more trips a day on time saved on loading.” This man realizes we are here to stay, and must give Good Service. Good Coal, Honest Weight and the Right Price or else how can we expect your continued patronage. Make us prove it. Warehouse W Z" 1 IV 1 Yard Phone p h oneß Carrolls Coal Yard 770' On the G. R. & I.
