BAPTIST REVIVAL
GROWING IN INTEREST.
The Baptist revival, which be-
gan last Sunday, is being well at-
tended and growing in interest
with every service. Mr. and Mrs.
Ward, in charge of the music, are
living up to the high reputation
that preceded them here, as being
among the foremost gospel musi-
cians in the state.
The sermons being delivered by
Pastor Roy Hollomon, are elo-
quent and fervid and are making
deep and lasting impressions up-
on all who hear them.
^ The evening services are being
held on the spacious church lawn,
which has ample seating capacity
for the large and increasing con-
gregations that gather there. A
warm welcome awaits all at each
and every service.

MAN RUNS WILD.
It is generally understood that
there were several McGregor fam-
ilies that were aroused from their
much needed rest in the wee small
hours of the morning, Wednes-
day. After some investigation, it
was found that the disturbance
was caused by two of McGregor’s
leading sportsmen* who had cap-
tured a 48 pound cat fish on the
Leon River, and had made haste
to make the great feat public.
Although the head of the big fish
is on exhibition at Anderson &
Baker barber shop, the writer of
this article wishes to see the
picture of the big cat and of the
proud fishermen, which is said
to have been taken at sunrise on
Wednesday morning, before he
fully believes the “fish story.”
The gentlemen who made this
notable capture were none

Allison, will hear with much
pleasure the wonderful progress
she is making in her studies at
Baylor University. She has re-
ceived the highest sophomore hon
ors, standing at the head of a
class of 350. Miss Jewel made a
straight A grade in all her studies
'—a rare accomplishment for the
brightest pupil. The editor of
the Mirror has known Jewel since
she was a little girl and it is
with peculiar pleasure that we
note the splendid record she is
making at Baylor.

The many friends of Mrs. E. C.
Kunz will be proud to hear that
she is gradually improving, being
now able to sit up a few hours
each day. Most every mail brings
letters from over the state inquir-
ing as to Mrs. Kunz’ condition.
Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Henry and
daughter, Janice, and Fay Haynes
and wife, visited Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Haynes of Lorena Monday
evening. Mrs. Haynes and daugh-
ter remained for a few days visit
in that community.
Modern developments have cre-
ated a new class of people, called
in a recent issue of the Survey
’’gasoline gypsies.” They are
folk of rather destitute circum-
stances, who drift about the
country in cheap automobiles. Ev-
ery free tourist camp ground is
filled with them during the nice,
open weather. They make their
way from place to place, provi-
sioning themselves the best they
can.
They have been known to prey
upon the generosity of the good
sports of the road and panhandle
gasoline from passing cars on the
pretext of running out of gaso-
line.
A. few months ago the writer
was leaving Plainview in a car
and a man at the side of the
road hailed him and wanted gas-
oline to get back to town on so he
could fill up. The gas was drawn
in a wash pan which the man out
of gas provided.
The trip was a .short one. Upon
returning, the same man again
gave the sign of distress and of-
fered the same wash pan. A peep
into his tank disclosed the fact
that his tank was practically full.
He had taken a good stand and
was taking advantage of the gen-
erosity of all who would allow
him to do so.
These nomads of the road beg
east off clothing. They keep in
the northern part of the country
in the summer and work south in
the winter.
During wheat harvest period
they- flood many sections of the
country, where they adopt an air
of independence. If wages are
high, they may work. If they
are not, they don’t have to work
-—they can panhandle an exist-
ence and are apparently as well
contented as when working.—

WHY BE WITHOUT ANELECTRIC FAN?
Hot days are here, and, more are to come. Don’t wait until
next year, but get your .Fan, now. Use it for this year and for
many more to come. You can sure do this if you get an EMER-

DON'T RISK HEALTH
GET YOUR SLEEP
Sound sleep promotes health, restores vigor and vitality. A
summer sleeping room or porch is necessary in this climate for sound
rest through the hot nights of summer. The sooner we really learn
this truth the better off we will be. There are often many arrange-
ments that could be made about home to have this addition properly
placed. Let us aid you with suggestions and estimates.

McGregor won an easy victory
from Eddy Tuesday on the lat-
ter’s diamond by a score of 10
to 2. The Eddy boys had hard
luck in the first of the game and
got away to a poor start, allow-
ing the visitors 5 runs before a
man could be retired. Bad
grounds made an infield ball al-
most impossible to field, which
aided toward the execution of 3
probable double plays. Both out-
fields played good baseball, it
being almost impossible to land a
safe blow in the air.

A card just received from Char-
lie Hall, dated at Memphis, Texas,
says: “Enjoying our stay out
here. Weather has been warm
to hot, then cool. Crops in excel-
lent shape and prospects for the
biggest cotton crop in years. Will
see you first of the week.”
During the week of Dedicatory
Services, June 5th to 12th, and
the W. O. W. Picnic, that will be
held at Neff’s Park, all drinks
will be sold for 5c, or in other
words no advance in price on
account of these events. So do
not pay more for drinks on the
grounds.—Earl Neff.
Whatever is found lacking in
the columns of this issue of the
Mirror, may be attributed to that
old adage that says, “When the
eats are away, the mice will
play.” Mr. and Mrs. Charles B.
Hall and baby, Bonnie, left last
Friday morning for a weeks visit
in West Texas, Memphis, where
resides an aunt of Mr. Hall, being
their first stop. If any body on
earth merits a Summer vacation,
it’s the poor devil who runs a
country newspaper. We want
Charley and family to have a
good time on this trip, no matter
how sorry a paper we get out
while they are gone.
