Honor Roll For 1935
Announcement has been made that
a series of revival services will be-
gin at the Baptist Church Sunday,
November the 10th.
Rev. W. W. Chancellor of Mineral
Wells will arrive Monday to do the
preaching during the series of ser-
vices. Rev. Chancellor is pastor of
the First Baptist Church of Mineral
Wells and is well known to the
people of Olney. He was with the
church here two years ago in a series
of services and members feel they
are fortunate in securing his services
again.
Rev. J. W. Marshall, pastor of
the Handley Baptist Church will be
here to conduct the song services
and to assist with the revival. Rev.
Marshall is a student in the South-
western Seminary and is thoroughly
enthusiastic in his work. He was
with the Olney church in its last
summer revival and endeared him-
self to the members and to the
people of Olney. All singers will
be urged to co-operate in the song
services, and the juniors particularly

Looking forward to an elaborate
Pre-Christmas Program and street
parade, Olney merchants have signed
for the Gainesville Community Cir-
cus, and are arranging committees
to look after every detail.
On Monday of this week, a con-
tract with the Gainesville Commun-
ity Circus was signed. With the
aid of this famous amusement or-
ganization, Olney merchants plan to
put on a Pre-Christmas program and

The program is to be similar to

much more elaborate scale. Plans
are being worked out to light the
town brilliantly, decorate show win-

Rotary Club Hears
* Interesting Talk By
Walter Nelson, Jr.
Appealing as principal speaker on
Wednesday Rotary program, Walter
Nelson Jr., former mayor of Wichita
Falls, made a most interesting talk.
Mr. Nelson made a tour k>f
Europe in 1934 as one of a party
of fifteen mayors and ex-mayors
designated by president Roosevelt
for the tour. In his talk Wednesday,
Nelson gave quite a graphic de-
scription of his visit to England,
France and Germany. He described
places of interest, in each country,
and touched on some of their most
characteristic customs. After enter-
taining the club with such descrip-
tions, Nelson discussed interna-
^rtional relations between Germany
other European countries. The
speaker pointed out that every indi-
cation points to the fact that Ger-
many is rapidly re-arminig and train-
ing and suggested that sooner or
later she will embark on another
military career.
The club was glad to welcome and
ij^cdmit Ryan Kelly as a student mem-
Woer for the next three months.
Guests of the club other than the
main speaker were: Earl Gilbert and

Small Boy Overcome
By Carbon Monoxide
Tuesday of this week, the four-
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Short was treated and revived from
effects of carbon monoxide poison
by a local physician.
The child, sitting on the floor
of the car playipg, was over-
come by carbon monoxide fumes
from the car, after the muffler had
been lost off. After the drive of
only seven miles, the little fellow
was asleep from effects of the
poison and it required several min-
utes to revive him. The attending
physician stated that if the drive had
been twenty miles instead of only
seven, the little fellow likely could
not have been revived.
It would be well for people to
take a lesson from the above inci-
dent, and remember it is well to
Methodist Pastor
Attending Confnce
In Brownwood, Tex
Carry with him a fine report
from the Olney Methodist Church,
Rev. T. H. Burton left Wednesday
for Brownwood to attend the Cen-
tral Texas Conference.
On Thursday reports from the
two hundred twenty-three charges in
the conference were given. Rev.
Burton stated to an Enterprise re-
porter before leaving that he was
happy to carry for the Olney church
a most satisfactory report. Accord-
ing to his statement every call has
been met in full this year. The
budget for the year was $6,200.00
and there was an increase in mem-
bership of forty-seven.
The board of Stewards, it is
understood, presented the presidng
elder, Rev. A. W. Hall of Weather-
ford, a unanimous vote for the re-
turn of Rev. Burton.
As a matter of interesting church
history, it is stated that Rev. Bur-
ton was pastor of the Olney Metho-,

If the Cubs play football, they
should win the Frday night encoun-
ter; but as followers of the game
well know, anything may happen
in a football game. For this reason,
pressure is being brought to bear to
have the home team prepared to
enter the game minus over-confi-
dence, and prepared to live up to
expectations in the matter of roll-
ing up a nice margin over their
tenacious opponents.
In previous conference games, the
Cubs have been expected to pile up
to this city for a gigantic and spec-
tacular parade in his honor, that bids
fair to eclipse anything of its kind
ever held here.
Through arrangements made by
the Chamber of Commerce, the jovial
old Saint Nicholas will come here
for one day’s visit, and will take
the opportunity to greet every young-
ster of 'Olney and surrounding ter-
ritory. And in his honor, this mam-
moth parade which will delight every
citizen, young and old, will be staged
with bands, girls and boys in beau-
tiful costumes and uniforms, elabo-
rately decorated floats, funny clowns

Acting on a tip that came from
“down the way,” Clint Anderson and
Walter Shaw nabbed two men and
a cargo of what looked to be real
whisky Thursday morning.
Upon receiving the tip, Anderson
an4d Shaw drove to the south limits
of Olney where they stopped the
men as they were driving north in
a tan colored 1935 Chevrolet coupe
bearing an Oklahoma license. Ander-
son stated it was difficult to halt
them.

hoping to see the Cubs come to life
and carry their threats to the pay
stripe.
