FIFTEEN HUNDRED HIT
THE SAW DUST TRAIL
ON SUNDAY. .
Under the Stars and Stripes that
floated above the sawdust trail 847
men and boys marched on Sunday
night, three and four abreast, to the
accompaniment of the rollicking
hymn “We're Marching to Zion,”
which issued from the throats of the
great male choir at the Bellefield
tabernacle. “‘Billy’’ Sunday held
with one hand the staff from which
flew the national colors while with
the other he shook the hands of the
procession of converts. Minus his
coat and west he had concluded his
night sermon on ‘‘The Trail of the
Serpent,” one of his anti-saloon ora-
tions, the same sermon that he
preached to men in the afternoon.
As he reached the climax he slipped
back inte his coat, seized the great
flag that the Woodmen- of the World
had stacked against the pulpit, held
it aloft and called upon the thousands
of male listeners that filled the taber-
nacle to ‘‘help save fhe country from
the greatest curse that ever has
blighted its fair name.”’
*‘God overthrew slavery,’’ he shout-
ed, and God will oyerthrow the liquor
traffic. I expect the antagoaism of
the saloonkeepers, the distilleries and
the breweries, and I fear not that
dirty gang, but what I do fear is the
apathy bf you men seated in front
of men,”’
The great throng arose and sent for-
ward a long psocession of converts,
men and boys who pledged them-
selves to do all in their power to fight

and the 505 who responded in the
afternoon the days total was brought
up to an even 1,500.

IN QUEST OF FOOD.
A large flock of crows, numbering
between 800 and 1,000, flew over Som-
erset early on Monday, evidently in
quest of food. They traveled in a
westerly direction and at the Union
cemetery they descended on a clump
of pine trees feasting ravenously on
the green pine needles. They flew
near the earth their height while
passing through the town not ex-
ceeding 150 feet.
