The Southwestern Telephone Co. Began work this week on their lines here. They are going to put in cables, which will add greatly to the service. It will probably take two months time to complete the work.

J.C. Swank is the day operator at the depot, having taken the place made vacant by the resignation of James Walthall. His hours are from 2 to 11 p.m. B. Bates is working as night operator.

S.C. Henderson and C.T. Hodges left Monday afternoon for Oklahoma where they will join their families, and from there they will go to Colorado for the remainder of the summer. Mr. Henderson orders the Argus sent to him during his absence.

Last week, F.A. Park sold his stock of merchandise to Mr. Forguson, of Dallas, who will move the stock to that place. Mr. Park will work for Higginbotham-Bailey-Logan, Co., a wholesale dry goods house, of Dallas. We do not know at this time what Mr. Simpson, who has been connected with the store will do.

The Rev. E.V. Spicer, of Kentucky, who is assisting Rev. A.J. Bush in his meeting, called at the Argus office Saturday. He has a pleasant face, and seems to be an earnest man. His singer, Mr. Dayherty, of Fort Worth, has charge of the song service. The community is cordially invited to attend these services. They are using the tabernacle near the Baptist church.

The Baptist meeting closed with the Sunday morning service. There were eight additions; five were baptized Monday afternoon. Dr. Edwards proved himself able to hold th enthusiasm, started by Brother Martin to the end, and left with the love and confidence of all our people. He was a benediction in the pastor’s home, and we shall love him more now because of his labors of love among us.

Dr. C.V. Edwards of the College Ave. Baptist Church, Fort. Worth, came to us after Brother Matin left and remained over Sunday. His preaching is Scriptural, tender, logical, and full of love to his fellowmen. He met every expectation of our people and won his way to every heart. His stay in our home was a benediction, and we thought we loved him before, but he has shown by his manly, honest, loveable nature that our estimate of his real worth was too low, and we now place him in the top most place in our affections, and shall bless the Lord for his coming among us. He is nothing short of a fine preacher.

I hope to be feeling better next week, and have Jackie back on her feet, so that I can adequately research and share more information with you.
