near Macon, Ga., to attend the grad
uation of a sister, Miss Pollie Forten
berry, of Mashulaville Agricultural
High School, returning via Philadel
phia, Carthidge and Canton. They
! found the roads good going, but bad
the return trip owing to excessive
rain.
They enjoyed their visit around
Macon and report passing through one
i little Indian village in which only one
j person could speak English. Surely
j it seemed strange to meet with our
j real red brother again and associate

Iferent from ours.

The annual commencement exer
cises of the Bogalusa High School
were held at the High School Audi

which taxed the capacity of the audi

Weather Interferese
With Tennis Contests
j. .
Due to weather conditions prevail- i
mg during the larger part of last
week very little headway was made
in the tennis tournament elimination
matches now being played to decide
the men's singles championship of
Bogalusa.
On last Tuesday afternoon Robert
Magee and George Leahy completed
their match, the first semi-final of
the tournament. On Saturday before
last Magee had marked up the first
and when stormy weather necessi
tated postponement of the match, he
second set stood 5 to 3 in favor of
Leahy. At the beginning of play
Tuesday afternoon Magee took the
first two games easily, then weak
ened somewhat and allowed Leahy to
take the next two games, making the
scere even, one set apiece. The third
set was» hard,.hotly contested match
from beginning to end, neither player
showing a marked advantage over the
other, the final score being 11 games
to nine in favor of Leahy.
This match between Magee and
Leahy was the only one played off
last week and th® final putcome of
the tournament is still very doubtful.
However, by next week the weather
permitting, the competition for the
prizes offered by the City Drug Store
and the Magic City Tire Company
will have narrowed down to a very
few players.
Citizens Pleased With
Model Cleaning Plant
A number of Bogalusa citizens have
visited the cleaning plant installed by
the Bogalusa Steam Laundry a short
time ago at a cost of several thou
sand dollars, where they witnessed
the operation of the machinery which
is known as the Bowser System, the
last word in dry cleaning.
The equipment will clean 1000
suits a week, without any overtime
or rush. The .clothing is not touched
by hands and the process does not in
jure the material, whether it be a
man's wool suit, or the most delicate
garment of ladies' apparel.

Big Baptist Revival
Will Begin June 11
A strong evangelistic team has
been engaged to conduct the revival
at the First Baptist Church. The
team consists of Rev. E. D. Solomon
and Stanley Armstrong and wife,
all of Dallas, Tex. This group of
evangelists, known as the Solomon
Fri- meSi^lin^thf^"auspices'of^he
State Board of Texas. However, the
group is well known also in Missis
sippi and Louisiana, where they have
held many great meetings.
Rev. Solomon is not only recog
nize as one of our great evangelists
by the Baptist people of Texas,
Louisiana and Mississippi,
the
Bo
years'
W.
last
Ky.,
par
His
an
a
.. . but has
an- sissippi and Louisiana. His last pas
toral work was with the St. Charles
Avepue Baptist Church of New Or
leans, where his labors were wonder
fully blessed for three years on that
great field.
The press where Reverend Solomon
recently held a great meeting char
acterized him as "A man of culture,
travel and religion; chaplain in two
wars and traveler in seventeen for
eign countries; one of the most effec
tive soul-winners in the American
A.
the
for
P'Rpit today."
, Goncerning Stanley Armstrong,
Thej tbe s i n & er . Dr. M. E. Dodd, pastor of
A. ! ^ he First Baptist Church, Shreveport,
Da*, says: "I know of no other gos
of
ar
pel singer that I would rather have
assist me than Stanley Armstrong."
After a great revival conducted by
this company at Central Church, New
I Orleans, last summer, the pastor,
is

N.
of
of
a
Rev. W. A. Jordan, said: "The
music was wonderful, inspiring, up
lifting. The solos were grand. Mr.
and Mrs. Armstrong sang many duets.
Their voices blend beautifully and
make perfect melody. There is no
effort to show off."
This same pastor says, concerning
the evangelist: "Solomon is clear,
simple, safe and sound. He is con
secrated, earnest and powerful in his
messages.
The Church Bulletin of the San
Angelo Baptist Church, of Texas,
designates Mrs. Armstrong as "Pian
ist, personal worker and leader of
women's work. A charming perso n
ality and effective soul winner.
After a meeting held in Monroe,
La., the pastor said of Mrs. Arm
strong: "The junior chorus under
her leadership was one of the great
est attractions of the meeting."
The meeting begins at 'l 1 o'clock
Sunday, June 11th, just one week
from next Sunday, and continues for
two full weeks.
The large tabernacle on Pleasant
Hill will be used for all of the ser
vices, insuring seating capacity for
all who come.. A great chorus choir,
composed of more than one hundred
of Hie best voices in town, will be
trained for the meeting.
GO VIA SLIDELL TO
REACH COVINGTON
If you are going to motor to Man
deville or Covington, and want to be
certain of getting there without any
inconvenience, go via Slidell, for the
recent rains have made the detour
near Abita almost impassable, while
the upper road was dragged last week
and one large fill made which, ac
cording to those who went through it,
will stick almost any car to a cer
tainty. The road from Slidell to
Mandeville and Covington is ideal.

weather clears up.
The game which was to have been
played at the colored *ball pafk was
also called off.
