Judge McNeill's Loss.
Mrs. C. A. McNeill, wife of
Judge McNeill, died at her late
home in Columbus on Monday
morning of this week, following
a short illness.
Mrs. McNeill was taken sick
only about ten days ago, and it
was thought she would recover,
in fact she seemed very muchim-
oroved. when, without warning,
she took a change for the worse
and died very suddenly.
Mrs. McNeill was a very lova
ble woman, and her friends were
legion. In her death the judge
suffers an irreparable loss and the
community loses a good woman.
Funeral services were held on
Wednesday of this week. .

Shall Baxter Spring's Have
A Revival.
Or will it be only revival meet
ings? 4
" The answer to the above ques
tion depends upon .how badly the
good people will want a revival.
If the Christian people of the
community, regardless of 'deri
omination, and all other, people,
whether professedly-Christian or
not, who care about the moral
conditions of Baxter Springs,
will join hands and. hearts, and
as one man labor with the leaders
of this movement, . the answer
will be, Baxter Springs will have
a revival. Only lack of judg
ment or pure. devilishness can
cause any man to take a stand
against a real revival of religion.
We are not willing to believe that
Baxter Springs' rtfirbors a man
mean enough,; and. we can hardly
conceive of the ' presence . flf one
so short on judgment, as to op
pose it, so we take -for granted
that a revival will be hailed with
delight by everybody. The ques
tion is, will the pople put them
selves in the way of malting the
the meetings a grand success?
Will they set aside social gather
ings while the meetings are on?
will they attend 'the meetings
with utmost regularity? We
believe there , are people enough
in the community that will do
these things, and whatever else '
they can do to insure a great re
vival in Baxter Springs.
