Joplifl^ Feb. 2.—We are still in
the land of the living, and pro-
gressing some in some respects.
The literary society of the Jop-
lin school rendered a nice pro-
gram last Friday night and a
large crowd was present and all
seemed to enjoy themselves very
much.
The religious work with all de-
nominations is improving, large
crowds attend all services, and
the Sunday schools are progress-
ing, some new pupils joining ev-
ery Sunday. The Baptist Sun-
day school has somewhere in 90
enrolled, and the Methodist some-
where in 60 enrolled. Rev. Hun-
ter, the Methodist preacher filled
his regular appointment last Sat-
urday and Sunday.
Mr. .Jesse Terry and Miss Maud
Gamer of Vineyard attended
church here last Sunday and
among others who attended church
were Misses Carrie and Ethel
Frank of Sebree and Mr. Byrd
Harmon and wife and Mr. Sidney
Johnson and wijje of Groveland.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Robbins
