Maiden Laundry Is Growing Concern
By H.H. Lowry
Newton, Aug. 4--In company with Dr. Flint Klutz and Dr. S.H. Steelman and Mr. B.B. Bible of Newton, your correspondent yesterday afternoon visited the new laundry opened up a short time ago in Maiden. The Excelsior Laundry is the name of the new enterprise in our neighboring city. Mrs. J. Wesley Taylor, who is also postmistress at Maiden, is the owner and manager. Mrs. Taylor says she gets about all the work she can take care of. High class work is being done and her specialty is family washing. Each family washing is washed by itself. Every tub and vessel is disinfected between each washing.Nothing but the best material available is used in doing the work. All work is called for and delivered free of charge. Mrs. Taylor solicits the hearty co-operation of the townsfolk and friends of the surrounding country. The writer noticed a set of rules tacked on the wall in the wash room and the first one reads like this:
"Realizing our dependence upon God, our Heavenly Father, we promise to give one-tenth of the proceeds of this firm to charitable purposes."
Church News
The revival meeting which has been in progress at the Methodist church in Maiden closed Sunday night. The pastor, Rev. D.A. Rinehardt, was assisted in the meeting by Rev. P.W. Tucker, pastor of the Newton Methodist church. About 40 persons were converted during the meetings.
The Lutheran congregation of Maiden is building a handsome parsonage near the church. When completed this will be one of the prettiest homes in the little city. Numbers of new homes are now in course of construction il Maiden and evidence of prosperity are to be seen on every hand.
