ENTIRE MESSENGER FORCE,
NUMBERING 6, OUT ON STRIKE
OKMULGEE, Okla., Aug. 24.—Six
messenger boys, comprising- the force
of the local Western Union Telegraph
office, went on a strike here Monday.
The strike is being led by “Bill” Sny-
der and his assistant, “Steamboat”
Payne, who claim that all the boys are
working under Schedule 3, which calls
for $6 a week pay, and they demand
to be enrolled under Schedule 4, which
calls for $8 a week.
“I didn’t think much cf. the strike
idea at first,” said “Steamboat,” “un-
til Bill says all those that don’t strike
gets beat up, then I says, gee williken,
if that’s the way you feels about, it,
why I’m with you.”

I have incubators of 600 hatch, 400

GEOLOGIST TO BE HERE

a letter from Joe Heyden, of Groom,

oil. At the time he was here he ex-
pected to return in a short time, but
business obligations prevented, but he
states in this letter that he expects to
be here by Sept. 1st. He writes fa-
vorably concerning the proposition
here and hopes to come soon and make
further investigation and decide upon
a location for the drilling of an oil
well.

HUNTERS WITHOUT
LICENSES AFTER FIRST
WILL BE OUT OF LUCK
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 24.—After
September 1 hunters who are caught
without hunting licenses in Texas will
not be permitted to purchase licenses
from the State nor will they be per-
mitted to hunt, Commissioner T. E.
Hubby of the Fish and Game Depart-
ment announced Monday.
On that date the new law passed by
the 39th Legislature goes into effect,
preventing game wardens from issu-
ing hunting licenses to hunters con-
victed of hunting without licenses, he
said.
FOR RENT-—A seven-room house
with both city water and cistern, fire-
places and other conveniences. Apply

Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Munger, Mrs.
F. M. Edwards and Mrs. Alvin Ed-
wards, of Dallas, returned home Sun-
day evening from a camping trip in
San Saba county. They found a de-
lightful 'plaee to camp, but it rained
every day they were there and the
latter part of the stay in camp Mrs.
Munger was taken sick, and has been
confined to her bed since returning
home, but was reported better Tues-
day morning.
THE CHURCH OF
CHRIST ENCAMPMENT
The crowds Monday showed a
marked increase over those of the
previous Sunday. People have regis-
terecl from over seventy towns and
cities, from Oklahoma to Houston and
from Marlin to San Angelo. The ser-
mon in the morning- on Heaven and
the one at the evening service on hell
delivered in a masterly manner and
with sympathetic feeling were in
marked contrast to Mr. Dunn’s usual
bold approach to his subject. He said
he believed if it were possible we
should have the same desire to teach
one part of God’s word as another,
because it is God’s word, for God’s
glory and the edification of his hear- j X
ers, that while he seeks to be like | T
Paul, who did not shun to declare the j jg
whole gospel, he hesitates to preach j • *
on Heaven on account of his utter ina- '
bility to fully depict its glories and
desirability. He said it is easy to
speculate on Heaven but most unwise
to discuss your speculations very much
lest someone become enamored of the
speculation and teach it as truth. He
did not attempt to say whether the
wonderful descriptions of Heaven
found in the Bible are figurative lan-
guage or literal or partly both, but he | ^
said these descriptions are the in- j ^
spired way to talk of Heaven and can-
not be wrong. After portraying the
glories of the Heavenly Jerusalem he
said: “God rules this City and the
whole universe, in which this earth is
a mere dot, and rules with such minute
attention to detail that he notes the
fall of a sparrow—exerts this great
power with so little effort that he nev-
er suffers a headache or mental strain
—yet some men, insignificant worms
crawling in.the dust of a puny world,
dare to question the justice of the
restrictions God puts on entrance into
His own city and say, “I’ll die and go
to hell before I obey’ ” In speaking
on hell Mr. Dunn taught of an ever-
lasting hell and said: The same Greek
word that is used to describe the im-
mortal God and describe His rule and
that of the saints as everlasting is
used to describe hell. God’s love is
no argument against hell. God is un-
changing, will love no more in the
future than he does now, yet He lets
people suffer all their lives now.
The King James version of the Bi-
ble does not make the distinction be-
tween Hades and everlasting hell very
clear. If this version is read on the
subject it is much easier understood
when read along with the American
Standard Version. Before the death
of Christ Hades was an intermediate
place containing Paradise, where the
souls of the faithful waited for ad-
mittance to the presence of the Fa-
ther. Christ removed Paradise .to
Heaven and Hades is to be cast into
hell. Thei-e are twelve passages in
the New Testament referring to a , £
place of everlasting punishment, j .*♦
whether it be called hell or the lake :
of fire: Matt. 5:22; Matt, 5, the 29th j %
and 32nd verses; Matt. 10:28; Matt. |*|*
18:9; Matt. 23 the 15th and 33rd
verses; Mark 9:42-49; Luke 12:5; Jas.
3:6; Rev. 20:14.
TEACHER EXAMINATIONS
TO BE HELD AUGUST 29
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 23.—Owing
to some confusion in dates and a large
number of requests from teachers con-
cerning work to obtain certificates un-
der "the law in force prior to 1921,
there will be a special teachers’' ex-
amination held at each county seat on
Saturday, Aug. 29. This examination
will be open to those teachers only
who are building up on second grade
or 'first grade certificates to obtain
first grade or permanent certificates.
No person will be permitted to take
this examination to obtain, a certifi-
eaie under the law enacted in 1921.
This special examination is given for
the reason that, no extension of old
certificates is permitted and the time
within which to complete the building-
on such certificates expires by statute
Sept. 1,- 1925.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Hardin, who left
here about two weeks ago on a pros-
pecting trip to the west, have bought
two lots at Levelland, Hockley coun-
ty, about 30 miles west of Lubbock.
They.will return here, soon and pack
their household goods and move to
tneir new location.
A. L. Higdon arrived at home Mon-
day morning from New York where
he had been for several days buying
goods for the Higdon-Senterfitt-An-
drew Co. Mrs. Higdon accompanied
him on the trip and will remain for a
longer visit to escape some of the
heat of the declining days of the sum-
mer.
Dr. Chas. Bailey spent Saturday
here as the guest of his sister. Mrs.
Rucker Northington. He was en route,
to his home in Ballinger after an ex-
tended trip to Boston and up into
Canada.

FALL BATS
There’s a certain sophisticated
charm about the new Millinery
that goes well with the simple
modes in outer apparel. While
some of the Hats possess more
brim than heretofore, it is tucked
in and turned back. Satins, vel-
vets and hatter’s plush is being
featured extensively. The prices
are so economical that one or
more may be had at the price
once paid for cheaper and less
artistic ones, in fact the styles
are so exquisite in the popular
priced hats that it has become
popular to have a hat for every
gown.
