A I^awn, to loo'ic right, must have the grass kept al t^e proper height. None of us like to mow grass with a bum lawn mower. Buy a "Keen Kutter," a mower which is guaranteed to cut grass and cut it easy.' Your wife or child can use one of these mowers and that's'a good thing for the man of the house.
Accurate, smooth running with simple adjustment. Five Revolving Knives on Nigh Wheel Pattern. Close and continuous cut. Lower Rocking Atjjustment. Convenient, simple, positive Steel Pin Ratchet: never fails to cut; will not wear out. Steel Bushed Reel Cog. Large bearing, lessening wear on pinion and axle. All Parts Mechan¬ ically Accurate insuring minimum wear and Easy Running. Will cut gnaa 7 inches high.
So llgrbt rnnnlnt that year "yountest" can now mow the lairli  - withoat help.
Kitll la/fnR Mowers are faat catting and easy running because of the triple gear and th* fine ball bearings. ¦**-

Whiit old cittesQB regard u the grett- ett rellgloua iwaktalng the oity of Flora h^s ever axptrienced continatR with In- craosinK power. Nothing that ooonri • >emi to hinder tt. Soma night* tt haS ralnrd hard bat the peopla came (mt and many were aaveJ. The ctty hae been in the tbrors of an tntaose atmicgls with th« saloon question bnt the rarival haa drawn tba people every nigbt; large namberr being nnabla to gain admit¬ tance. This wealc all the bnsiness honses on North Avenna and on Uaia street cloia at 7 p. m, or |earlier, on ac¬ connt of the meetings. Up to Wednes¬ day morning there hnd been 185 conver sions besides the renewal of many christians whose love and zeal bad waned. Tbe daily attendance of tbe meetings at22:80 p. m. bas been between I.V) and 300. Tbere bave been no ser¬ vices without conversions. Wednesday evening, April 1, Bro. Bnrke preached on "I have called and ye bava refused." Thnrsdsy nigbt on "The way of the traatigressor is bard." These trameud- oas appeals were replete with lUastra- tiona drawn from the speaker's varied expfriances in life. Friday bight the sabject was -Abhor that which is evil, cleave to tbat which is good." The evil tendsnciet of some popal'ar indulgences were shown in a way that few who beari) can everfforget. There weie nine conversions. Satarday nigbt the text was "Ba not [deceived, Ood is not mocked; whataoevera msn sowetbthat shtM he also reap." This is traa of whatever kind of seed we sow. Wa may sow enconragemeut. Or we may sow neglect and indifference. We may sow moral corrnption. Or we may aow love We shall reap wbat we sow. Many came forward and avowed tbe determi- nution to live a new life.
Sunday waa a great Ueld day. At 10;35 tha Uethodi«t church wag crowd¬ ed to Ita utmoet capacity. Tbe s>rmon waaon "Forgiveiess." "If ye forgive not m^B their traspaaaaa, neither will yoar heavenly tjtber forgive yonr tree>^ passes." Bro. Burke spoke with mnch tenderoeaa and beaaty of tbe forgiving spirit in tbe heme. Many wlli doubt, leas be better husbands, wives, and par¬ ents because of tbis sermon. He .\ • pllril the text to men's relations with each ether. This psrt of the sermon has already boroa some rich froil in tbe wiping ont of old scores. At 2:80 Bro. Barke spoke to tbe men ou "Saved at lart." It dstailed bis own experience in getting home to God. Tba appeal waa one of nnnsual power and toaebed all hearts. At (be eame honr Bro. Hobbs spoke to the women at the PresbyteriaD church. Tbe house waa well filled. The appeal waa impressive and the mei'tlng was ona of deep feeling. Snn¬ day night Bro. Hobbs preached to the wo.neo on "Be sure yoar ain will find yoo oat." Tbere were ten conversisna at the woman's maeting and a large nam'ier at tbe men'a; meetings. Both churches wsre ttlled (o overflowing. There were twenty-aiz conversions dur- ing tbe day.

Although seating bad baen |srranged for svei y foot of available apace yet many had tu go away both Monday and Tnes* day nights Jonahla to |gaia adgiittaaas. Taeeday at 3:30 u. m, Bro.
