which was a fall during the preceeiliiiK
4 hours of .S of a foot. The prediction
for the next tM hours was the same as
the fall for the jircccetltitK. It has Im-cii
predicted that the fall would lie con-
sideraldy greater, hut heavy rains
throughout the Ohio Valley checked the
rapidity of the fall. The recent rain
extended no as far as Indianapolis, on
the Tennessee as far r.-. Klorew-e. Ala.,
and on the CuuilH-rland as far as Nash
ville. The upper Mississippi continues
to fall. The weather prediction gives
rain for today in Tennes-e but not for
Illinois autl i Milo.
Mr. ilarroifs prediction now is that
the river will not reach a stage of 4."

Tlie levee at Mile Seven isgiving great
trouble now due to tlie continual caving
of the hank. Tuesday a big cave-in
took part of tlie levee with it. Men are
leing rounded up in great uuinliers for
service on the levee throughout this
section and Lake County. A , great
many of tlie men had been released at
the end of last vek when it was
thought that (he levee was safe. It is
now only a jucstion of time: If the
water goes down before the cave-in has '
a chance to get through the levee, the
danger will be over.
The water is now out of every store
and is alwmt off .of Water street. Clin
ton street has lieen badly washed by the
water, although the sandbagging during
the second rise has kept the water from
washing as badly as was the case the
hrst time.

FORREV.PETTIE
Local .Minister to Celebrate 50th Or
dination Anniversary.
Sunday, May' 14th, will be a great
dayfor the First Baptist Church of
this city and for its beloved pastor, the
Itev. A. S. Pettie. That day marks tlie
fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to
the ministry a long ministry which
has been faithfully devoted to the ser
vice of his Master and one which has
placed him in the front rank of the
ministry of not only his chosen denom
ination but of the entire Christian re
ligion throughout the Southland. Dur
ing the fifty years of his ministry he
has occupied some of the most import
ant pastorates within the jurisdiction of
the Southern Baptist Convention.
In point of service he is one of the
oldest In the denomination.- In his own
words be "is still in ms youth, but there
are only a few men who has been so
long in the ministry.
He came to tlie Hickman church to
ward the close of 1920 as pastor, and.
uuder bis leadership the church has
grown and prospered at a rate unequal?
led at any.-other time In its history.
During his pastorate he has endeared
himself to the people of his congrega
tion and has secured a vast following of
friends among the other congregations
of the city.
On Sunday, May 14th, a Jubilee ser
vice will be held at the church in honor
of the splendid record made by the pas
tor and his length of service, at which
a special sermon and program now be
ing arranged wiU be given, and all
members of the church as well as others
interested are especially urged to attend.
