A deab was closed this

hotel
whereby the Tremont
building on North Cedar Street
was leased by Dr. M. C. Overton
for the purpose of converting it

ated with him Dr. Chas. J. Wag-
I ner who for the past three years
has been with Dr. A. J. Oschner
of Chicago who is one of the
world's greatest physicians and
surgeons.
The building they have pro-
cured will be repainted through-
out and such changes as are nec-
essary in the interior will be
made. The building was thor-
oughly remodeled some three
years ago and is in good condi-
tion and can very nicely be made
to conform with the needs of-a
sanitarium.
The first floor will be used for
offices while the second and

Dr. Overton further states
that they expected to equip this
sanitarium with modern hospital
equipments throughout for both

Since our

been a series '
cloudy weather
with occasional local showers
during the early part of the
weak these showers at the va-
rious times covering a good ter-
ritory north and west of Lubbock
and some south.
This morning between the
hours of 2:00 o'clock and day
break a splendid slow rain fell
putting a nice top season in the
ground. We have not learned
the extent of this rain but be-
lieve that a large territory has
been covered.
Though this precipitation came
rather late still the benefits will;
be great both to late crops
and
the grass.
The following reports come re-
garding the rains of the week:

nary last Saturday evening at
8:30 o'clock. It was a Sunday
School Rally conducted by Mr.
W. N. Wiggins secretary State
School Association and his co-
workers Mr. and Mrs. Hutton.
After a short song service led by
Mr. Hutton Mr. Wiggins gave a
very interesting address along
general lines of Sunday School
work. He stressed the importance
of "every member present every
Sunday with my own Bible a
studied lesson an offering for
Christ and a reverent heart."
He also stressed the importance
of trained workers in the Sunday
School: and whv not? The Sun-
day School is one of the most
important institutions in the
world and there are very few
trained workers. Mr. Hutton
gave a short talk to children
present After a well rendered
song by Mr. and Mrs. Hutton we
were dismissed and returned to
our homes feeling we had en-
joyed a rare treat.
The Sunday School appreciates
Mrs. M. C. Overton's kindness
in securing such noted workers
for this occasion.
