Mounds Please allow me space in your worthy paper to say that our church is still moving onward to Zion under the leadership of our worthy pastor Rev. C. W. Norment. First we had an excellent program on Christmas eve night by the Sunday School children. Trying to represent the seeings of Mary and Joseph in our weak ways. The program was conducted by Sister Sarah Clark. The wonderful part of the program was a solo sung by Sister Ozoneva Pyles. Calvary and Mary conformers were passed on it. Next Santa Claus came in and many received presents. Sunday morning at 9:30 Sunday School opened by Supt. Bro. Mayherry. Review of Advanced Topic, Paul the Christian Warrior Matthew 2:1-12. Motto Text: Wherefore take up the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand. Eph. 6:13. The lesson was discussed by the pastor and he gave many instructions. 11 o'clock morning service many songs and prayers were prayed and songs from Zion's hill. Saturday night watch meeting, pastor being absent the meeting was conducted by the deacons and we had a joyful time, the crowd was very large. And Sunday School Sunday morning at 9:30. We had a wonderful time on New Years morning school opened by Supt. subject the revolt of Jeroboam, advanced topic, industrial unrest and its cure MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." PROPOLIS, ILLINOIS FRIDAY JANUARY 13. 1922 S SANITORIUM ADDITION INSPECTED BY MANY Many Visitors Shown Thru Large Addition to New Home Sanitorium on West Mogan Street Yesterday Many Jacksonville people accepted the invitation from Dr A H. Kernebrew to inspect the large addition just completed to the New Home Sanitorium on West Morgan St. The visiting hours were from 2 until 4 o'clock in the afternoon and from 7 until 2 o'clock in the evening, and all visitors were escorted thru the rooms and departments of the addition and the apparatus and equipment was explained to them. The chemical laboratory is located in the basement and all the equipment is of the most improved type, much of it being operated by electricity. The dining room is especially attractive as the panels of the walls are beautifully lined and the ceiling is finished in Old Mission effect. Dumb waiters operate between the dining room and the kitchen, which is on the ground floor. The furnishings and equipment of the three floors and basement indicate hot only the great care taken in the selection but also the willingness to spend the necessary amount of money in order to equip the hospital in the best way possible. While all the rooms are pleasant and furnished comfortably, in a few of them still larger expenditures have been made for furnishings and with fine effect. Especial attention has been given to the obsteric room and the entire arrangement there tend not only to safety but to comfort as well. The equipment there is in accord with that in the rest of the addition follows the most approved and modern ideas. The same thing may be said of the operating room which is a model of its kind. There an indication is found that the presence of friends or relatives will be welcome as a railing has been provided, back of which visitators are expected to stand. There is a spacious sleeping porch at the south side of each of the floors and the sleeping porches, like the rooms, are handsomely furnished. Due attention has been given to fire protection and an automatic fire extinguisher has been established on each floor. There are also water pipe connections there for additional protection. The equipment aside from the hospital itself is worthy of mention, for a small refrigerating plant has been installed and the great range is arranged on one side for gas and on the other side for coal or wood. In connection with the opening last night an excellent musical program was given.—Jacksonville Daily Journal, Tuesday Jan. 3. We had with us Bro. Duncan the president of the Sunday school Institute, and he made the way very plain on industrial untest and its cure. Good Advice. Since thou art not sure of a minute, do not throw away an hour --- Franklin JANUARY UNIONVILLE LADY SHOT MONDAY MRS. FRANCES GILTNER HAS A PECULIAR ACCIDENT This morning the hospital authorities reported that Mrs. Giltner was resting nicely and that they had all hopes for her recovery from the accident without any serious results —Republican Herald. Mrs. Frances Giltner, of near Unionville, happened to a serious, and at the same time, a peculiar accident Monday afternoon about one o'clock. Her husband and brothers were butchering hogs, and using a rifle to kill them Mrs. Giltner was standing at a window watching them. Her brother-in-law shot at a hog and the bullet evidently struck a hard bone in the hog' head, glanced off and struck Ms. Giltner just above the left eyes. Mrs Giltner was immediately brought to the Walbright hospital in this city where an examination was made. An X-ray picture of the eye showed that the bullet had entered her head just above the left eye ball. While the accident is a serious and painful one, her many friends are hoping that Mrs Giltner may not lose the sight of her eye as the ball does not seem to be seriously injured. What Other Papers Say (From Vienna Tinies) Senator W: A. Spence was in Vienna Tuesday. He is candidate for re-election and left his announcement with us, which appears in our announcement column. He is going over the district and renewing his acquaintance with the voters. He is too well and favorably known to the citizens of Johnson County to need any comments from us at this time. He will have something to say to you in these columns in a few days. We haven't heard of any other candidate for this office, but we do know Tenator Spence is a mighty good man and should he have an opponent he will run him a horse race. In his official capacity he has a good clean record. (From Golconda Herald State Senator W. A. Spence, of Metropolis, was in Golconda Friday and Saturday greeting friends. He informs us that he is a candidate for re-electnion, and his formal announcement will appear at an early date. Mr. Spence has made an enviable record as senator. His constituents are aware of the fact, it is a certainty that his claims will have due consideration when the voters come to the polls in April. It is highly probable that he may have no opponent in the primary this year. John H. Kotter Announces In this issue of The Gazette, will be found the announcement of John H. Kotter, of Grant Precinct, for Assessor and Treasurer for Massac County. Mr. Kotter made the race for said office three years ago and was only defeated by a small vote. He is well qualified for the office and bears a good name among his neighbors as being a man that stands high in his community. No one need to have any fear as to the discharge of his duty should he be elected. Give his claim a careful consideration. Luther L. Evers Announces In our announcement column will be found the announcement of Luther L. Evers, as a candidate for re-election to the office of County Supt. of Schools. Mr. Evers, has served in this office for one term, and during his official acts has demonstrated that he has the ability to conduct this office in an efficient manner, that has been conducive to the best interests of all concerned. He has been fair and fearless in his dealings and has advocated such changes and additions in his official capacity as he thought merrited consideration, and there is no possible room for any complaint from any who want to see the school system improved and children to have the best in educational training. He is not likely to have opposition. FOR ASSESSOR AND TREASURER First Woman Candidate in Massac County. In this issue of The Gazette will be found the announcement of Mrs. Lelota Willis as a candidate for Assessor and Treasurer. Mrs. Willis is the wife of Dr. O. M. Willis of this city and is known throughout the county. She is a great friend of our people and is well liked and respected by all. Mrs. Willis bears the distinction of being the first woman in Massac county to announce herself as a candidate for office since full suffrage was granted. She has been in active politics for several years, serving as County Chairman of the Republican Woman's Organization. Mrs. Willis has also been active in the several liberty loans and Red Cross drives. She expects to go forth, meet the voters and present her claims just the same as any other candidate. She is making the race on her ability to fill the office and believing that women should be given the same privilege of holding office as men. JUDGE SMITH TO RUN Will Be a Candidate For Re-Election As County, Judge. In the present day politics it is not very often that the office seeks the man, but Massac county has one case, which is that of County Judge. Three years ago Fred Smith was elected County Judge of Massac county by an overwhelming majority. During his term of office he has filled the place with such satisfaction to the public that the demand is almost unanimous that he run again. After considerable solicitation by the Massac County Bar and public in general, he has consented to be a candidate for re-election. Ii. decision to make the race will be pleasing news to the people of Massac county as a majority of them feel that his services are needed as County Judge. GOVERNOR LEN SMALL IS ACQUITTED OE ALL EXCEPT CONSPIRACY CHARGE. Illinois Executive Gains Victory In First Court Appearance And Predicts Trirmph. Governor Small last week as was predicted in this paper walked away with his character pure and shining as a new silver dollar. All of his demurs were sustained, quashed last week Except one; on conspiracy, And it is believed that when this is called the court will instruct the jury to find for the defendant. Governor Small has issued a statement; declaring that what occurred the other day when the court sustained his demurs will be repeated. He says that decision of L ke County laid bare to the public; that it can see the methods employed and the inspiration causing those indictments The date of his trial on the one charge remaining is now uncertain as to the date. Judge Edwards having quashed all the indictments except the one on conspiracy and that one is not going to give the Governor any uneasiness. The state is completely defeated as it should have been, the attorneys for the state staged a vigorous campaign to bring the governor to trial and when he is brought like Paul his enemies are shamefully routed, and beaten on every issue. Rightly, too, because the indictments had nothing behind them, but political spitework and moved from envy and petty prejudices. Resolved on destroying one of the best governors the state has had in many years.—The Kentucky Cadiz Informer. Burlington Buys 59 Miles of Freight Cars In order to be thoroughly prepared for the great volume business, which is destined to move with the coming revival of business, the Board of Directors of the Burlington Railroad has authorized the purchase of 7,800 freight equipment units. Included in the purchase, are: 500 stock cars 1,300 refrigerator cars 2,500 box cars 3,000 composite cars. The primary requisite of these is that they shall "stand up" and "deliver", and to that end, the best material that money can buy and all approved improvements will be incorporated in their construction. Placed end to end, these 7,300 cars would make a single train 59 miles long NOTICE To the members composing the Executive Board of the Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. Convention. As there was some financial business of our last meeting in Colp, that not finished, and as I have been unable to get it adjusted through correspondence, it will be necessary to call a meeting of the Board in the near future. The time and place will be announced later. J. W. Corneal, Dist. Pres. 424 N. Sycamore. Read The Gazette. Metropolis Gazette PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY BY THE GAZETTE PRINTING CO. METROPOLIS, . . . . . ILL.

There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrh Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mugous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. / F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

Laura Leake, District Pres. M. J. Hudson, Sec. Progressed by Slow Stages. Progressed by Slow Stages. Thirty years ago the men of Hartshay, a hamlet of Derbyshire, England, were accustomed to meet at a bridge on the edge of the town, where they would read the papers and discuss events. This was all right in summer time, but in the winter it was different and they would occasionally adjourn to a sheltered spot under the bridge. From this they moved into a vacated pigsty and later annexed another pigsty. This rule building was improved by their own efforts until it was a fairly comfortable place. From this humble origin there is now a rather pretentious library, with the best papers and magazines and a stock of good books. Willed Everything Away A lawyer in Chicago was retained by a contractor to draw up his will. The task was accomplished apparently to the satisfaction of the client; the lawyer's fee was paid, and the latter supposed, of course, that the matter had been concluded. To his great surprise, therefore, he received another call from his client the next day, who expressed his conviction that the affair had not been properly adjusted. "Why, what's the trouble?" asked the legal light. "Trouble enough," said the man. "I didn't sleep the whole night through for thinkin' of that will! You've fixed it so I've not left myself a chair to sit on!"—Philadelphia Ledger. Comparisons Are Sometimes Odious. Johnny was attending his first grade school, after graduating from kindergarten, where he greatly adored his teacher, a pretty young woman in her teens. His mother noticed his lack of enthusiasm in his new studies, and that he never mentioned his teacher. Finally, one night when she was putting him to bed, she asked: "Johnny, don't you like your new teacher? "Oh, I like her well enough," he replied, "but, mother, she looks just like a porato chip." Chineze Railways. Of 6,836 miles of railway in China in 1918, more than 4,000 miles of main and branch lines were owned and operated by the government, these comprising 14 railways in 14 out of the 43 provinces. In addition there were 11 provincial and private railways (some owned by mining companies) aggregating 425 miles and five concession lines aggregating near 2,300 miles.
