PICKTON MAN
HAS ORCHARD OF
FINE PECANS
C. B. Bowen of Pickton Route 2
has one acre of improved pecans,
planted on hickory ridge land. The
trees are now bearing 5 years and
are eight years old. An exhibit of
pecans left at the Chamber of Com-
merce by Mr. Bowen. He says' they
will weigh 1 pound to fifty nuts
and he gets 50c per pound. On the
acre of land there are twelve trees,
spaced ninety feet each way on
hickory ridge land. There is'much
of this_ kind -of land that when
scientific methods of farming are ap-
plied good results will be obtained,
not only in pecan growing but in
other ways. There is simply no
limit to the demand for the best
grades produced by scientific prac-
tices. Mr. Bowen says he has never-
sold any of these pecans for less
than 50c per pound. They are pro-
ducing about 15 pounds per tree
and each year they increase in pro-
duction, besides he grows other crops
among the pecan trees.

BAPTIST REVIVAL
CLOSES TONIGHT
Plans have been made to make
the last of the revival at the Bap
tist church one of the great days of
its history. It is expected that
there will be at least six hundred in
Sunday school. Prof. McKinney
will sing at the morning and even-
ing hour. The evening solo will he
the song made famous by Ira D.
Sankey, “The Ninety and Nine.”
The subject of the morning ser-
vice will be “First Things First.”
The text, “Seek ye first the king-
dom of Heaven and His righteous-
ness and all these things shall be ad-
ded unto you.
McKinney Speaks at the Baptist
Revival
Prof. B. B. McKinney, the leader
of song in the Baptist revival, spoke
yesterday morning in the absence
of the pastor, on the subject* “The
Value of Good Music in the Home.”
His talk was very helpful. He
urges that good music be encourag-
ed in the home, because what peo-
ple sing has a great influence in the
building of their characters. He
also spoke on “The Advantage of
Hospitality in the Church.” We
want to make our church the
friendly church. The pastor spoke
at the evening service on “The Con-
version of the Eunoch,” found in
Acts 8:26. His main thought was
the universality of the need of
Christ, and our part in the plan of
salvation. As Philip answered the-
call to “Arise and go” to carry the
message to one lost in ‘ sin, so
should every Christian answer this
same call to lead to Christ those
who do not know Him. Prof. Mc-
Kinney’s solo for the evening was
“Let Others See Jesus In You.”

colony, etc.
The work which has been done,
ana which is in progress at this time,
nas for its purpose the bettering, of
care and treatment of unfortunates
in the insane asylums and other

be found which will check this con-
stantly increasing expense.
Members of the Texas Eleemosy-
nary Commission serve without -pay,
and have also paid all personal ex-
penses. Mr. Beasley expressed him-
