Phone 1226-G. FIRST BAPTISTS RAISE $3,000 TO LIQUIDATE DEBT Rev. S. S. Clark's "Pastor's Nickels" Earn Large Sum and Congregation is Out of Debt.

GOAL REACHED ON EASTER Free of debt! For the first time in several years the First Baptist church of Franklin can say like the village blacksmith, they "owe not any man." Perhaps none but the members of the church can realize the full significance of just what that statement means. Although Easter Sunday in Franklin was somewhat blizzardy and drear, it did not in least seem to dampen the ardor of the congregations at both morning and evening services. Easter. 1928, willl go down in the history of the Franklin church as a big red letter day, as it marked the climax of a campaign begun several weeks ago by the pastor, Rev. S.

S. Clark, to liquidate an old debt contracted by the church long before he entered on his work here. He had set the goal at $3.000. but even the most optimistic scarcely dared to hope to reach it. Rev.

Clark alone evidently had the faith that removes mountains, and to him must go the credit for it all. Especially is he deserving of great credit inasmuch as he had absolutely nothing to do with the contracting of the debt, but wanted to see his church with a "clean It will be recalled that Rev. Clark started the ball rolling when he recently sent out to the constituent mnembership several hundred "pastor's nickels." Each nickel was to be put to work to earn other nickles-as many as possible. The returns showed that the nickels had earned variously from 5 cents to $500 apiece. Needless to say that some of the members found it very interesting to watch the growth of the 5-cent investment placed in their hands.

Some of the women earned their money by baking and selling doughnuts: others by sewing; some by nursing the sick, and in many other ways. Some of the church organizations held markets, to raise their money; the choir gave a play, and so it went. Once the ball had a good start it could not be stopped until the goal was passed. It had previously been announced that a surprise would be in store for all who attended morning service, when a report of the campaign would be given. But it was soon evident from the stacks of "pastor's nickel" envelopes that a complete tabulation of the proceeds could not be had until later.

It was at the evening service when the big surprise and the real thrill came The proceeds of the morning proved to be so far beyond expectation that only a few hundred dollars were needed to "go over the top." When Rev. Clark made this gratifying fact knewh to the membership the response came back in double quick time. Several organizations as well as individuals were so prompt in coming forward that the additional money was raised in just a few moments. Although Rev. Clark is to be congratulated on the work he is doing here, he in turn congratulates the membership for "getting under the load." as he calls it.

63 YEARS AGO TODAY GEN. LEE SURRENDERED HIS ARMY OF VIRGINIA Sixty-three years ago, on April 9. 1865. General Robert E. Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia to the Army of the Potomac under General George G.

Meade, but part of the supreme command of Ulysses S. Grant. The surrender took place at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, after a long chase over muddy roads from Richmond, the Confederate capital abandoned a week before. Cavalry under General Sheridan sueceeded in getting ahead of the retreating column. They were back, but not until the Army Gendriven, eral E.

O. C. Ord came up. whereupon the Confederates, their further retreat blocked by this formidable adversary, gave it up and virtually brought the Civil War to a close in the negotiations under a famous apple tree. With what feelings the event was received is well illustrated by an order written by the usually unemotional Sherman, announcing the big news to his army.

That army had made its march to the sea and was now coming north from Savannah to join General Grant in Virginia if need be. It bad reached a point in North Carolina when the following came from headquarters. on April 12: "The General commanding announces to the Army that he has official notice from General Grant that General Lee surrendered to him his entire army at Appomattox Court House on the 9th inst. "Glory God and our country, and all honor to our comrades in arms, toward whom we are marching! "A little more labor. a little more toil on our part, and the great race is won and our government stands regenerated after four long years of war.

T. Sherman. "General Commanding." Later, on its way north; General Sherman's army traversed and saw the battlefields in Virginia where the Army of the Potomac had fought. LUTHER LEAGUUE TO MEET.

Probably the most unusual Easter in years from a weather standpoint was the one which was provided for Franklin and vicinity on Sunday. Assuredly it was 8 day far from desirable and those who would ordinarily participate in a fashion promenade were keenly disappointed. The day was more like one in late January, fitful squalls a wet snow which threatened to spoil any display of Easter finery. Notwithstanding the inclement weather conditions however, the church services were carried out according to program and in many instances there was a record attendance both at the church services and the Sunday schools. On a few occasions have there been a wider variety and more interesting services than those arranged for Easter Sunday this year.

At the First Presbyterian church nine were added to the membership by confession of faith and by letter. At others of the churches the significance of the day vas aptly brought out in sermon and in song. The First Methodist Episcopal, First Evangelical and Rocky Grove Evangelical churches experienced impressive and largely attended sunrise meetings between 6 and 7 o'clock in the morning and St. John's Episcopal followed at the latter hour. While there were a large number of motorists after the Easter services, many of them were caught in one of the several snow storms which enveloped the French creek and Allegheny river valleys during the afternoon and invariably they hastened to return home.

The weather continued its vagaries even after sundown and another storm was sweeping the city at church time in the evening. RUSH DEVELOPS HERE FOR FISHING LICENSES While rather wintry conditions prevailed over the week-end. there was a determined rush for fishing licenses at the Court House on Saturday forenoon. This rush was the most intensive of the season, probably in anticipation of the fact that the trout season will be ushered in April 15. At times half a dozen or more were waiting in line to get their permits and the mark today was well over 1,200.

The display fishing rods and tackle in a number of local store windows has only increased the enthusiasm of frequenters of up the creek to try their luck.
