ATHENS WEEKLY REVIEW
September 18, 1913

OPELIKA
Sept 15 - The weather man has been very generous this time and in fact kept us in the house about three days to keep out of the rain. Had we had this rain in broken doses during those hot July days we would have all been able to take in the State Fair next month.

We have been requested to announce that Evangelist William H. Stephens of Ima, New Mexico, will begin a two weeks’ meeting here on or about 21st inst. He has a large tabernacle that will seat 1000 people and he will have it shipped here in a few days. He comes highly recommended and is known through out the nation, as he preaches everywhere. A good meeting is expected, and we hope that people far and near will come to hear him.

Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Spray passed through here yesterday going back to Corsicana. They had been to Nacogdoches to attend the funeral of Mr. Davis, Mrs. Spray’s father, who died of cancer.

Gus Newman returned to Corsicana yesterday. He had been home on a few days’ visit.

W. P. McDaniel and W. E. Howell went to Athens yesterday.

G. B. Wallace sent up to Corsicana in his shirt sleeves on Thursday and we see he wore a coat back on Saturday. Nest time we presume he will take along his overcoat, umbrella and fan.

W. H. Brantley of Teague was guest of his brother-in-law W. B. Brooks for several days last week returning to Teague Sunday.

W. M. Boltz of Corsicana is spending the week here in his bungalow over on First Avenue. He says he never gets tired of looking at the pretty trees and hearing the birds sing.

M. C. DeWitt of Lufkin made a flying trip down here Saturday to visit his old fiends B. Starnes and family, returning home yesterday.

The grave yard working at Red Hill on the 9th was largely attended and left the city of the dead very much improved.

Mrs. May O’Neal of Dallas who has been visiting her sister Mrs. Dan Echols returned home Thursday.
