Union Gospel Meetings at Monon Prove Very Successful.

Over 150 confessions have resulted so far in the union gospel meetings in Monom and the religious fervor has reached proportions not attained in that town for many years. The entire community has been stirred by the earnest pleadings of Evangelist Phelps. It is said that over 600 peoplea heard his sermon on Sunday evening. On Monday night a woman’s meeting was held and the audience was so large that it was necessary to utilize the Sunday Schoolroom. Each afternoon four cottoge prayer; meetA ings are being held in different parts of town. Will H. Ade, who was the progressive candidate for congress last fall, has been quite poorly of late and a specialist was called to Kentland last week to consult with local doctors and he was ordered to bed for 30 days. He Is feeling fairly well, says The Enterprise, and it is hoped the confinement will be the cause of a permanent cure. There were 53 classified advertisements in The Evening Republican of Friday, April 2nd. When first started some eight years ago this column contained only a few little ads and many of the users were skeptical about the results. Now there are many users and they advertise with confidence for almost always secure returns. Don’t let any article worth from 50 cents up go to waste when you can advertise it for a quarter. ’ Advertise the little things as well as the big. Twenty-five cent ads in this paper have made a number of big farm sales. You could advertise every day for a year at a cost of only sl3. You can’t afford to overlook it. We could hardly tell from the doubt cast by the last paragraph an The Newton County Enterprise whether a large manufacturing concern is to locate in that town or not. The article states that Marion C. Whitman, a Buffalo, N. Y., attorney, had purchased 20 acres of land adjoining the New York Central tracks and that a million 1 dollar factory • would be erected. Five main buildings will be 180x440 feet in dimensions and homes will be built to care for the 700 workmen to be employed. The closing paragraph of the article telling about the factory says: “The only thing that tends to reflect on the credibility of Mir. Whitman and his plans is the fact that it was sprung on April fools’ day;” ..., ——.- ' Cleve Eger continues to improve and is now able to sit up part of the •time.''"'" m a*? saaPW
