Alexander, June 1—The village of Alexander is still prosperously moving onward. If peacefulness is a sign and it surely is, of prosperity, the village is prospering. The churches and Sunday schools are peacefully, earnestly and faithfully at work, which insures the spiritual side and life of the people; the grammar school has just closed on of the best and most successful sessions in its entire history, which takes care of the educational needs of the children; the advantages of a good night school and correspondence courses are admirably furnishing many of the grown up folks work and advancement along educational lines; the mill is running full time day and night, which of course gives financial prosperity. The mill company is now building a parsonage for the pastor of the Baptist church. It seems, then, that our people ought to be happy and content.
Many of the people of Alexander are attending the Chatauqua this week at Forest City. This is fine, but Alexander ought to have a Chautauqua, too. Think this over, and let’s have oe in the near future.
The people along the highway are able to breathe freely and easily once more. The road has just been oiled which keeps down the dust.
Rev. M.L. Lemmon preached for Rev. C.C. Matheny Sunday morning and Sunday evening. His sermons were very strong and inspiring.
Mrs. Earnest Johnson is very ill at present. She underwent a minor operation Monday afternoon.
The Alexander baseball team played Sulphur Springs Saturday and won another big victory. The score was 7 to 4.
If you ever become tired and thirsty and want ice cream, go to M.C. Phillips’ Ice Cream Parlor. He can serve you.
Don’t forget to attend the Epworth League Thursday night, the Sunday school Sunday morning, preaching and the B.Y.P.U. The Men’s Bible class invites every man of Alexander to attend the class every Sunday morning.
