Leon Gosepl Team Makes Hit at Seymour.

___________

The Leon gospel team gave us two splendid services Sunday. The afternoon service at the Baptist church and in the evening at the United Brethren church. They came overland with a lot of enthusiasm for the work they believe the Fairfield team will do for us with God's blessing.

They certainly gave us a good boost and filled the workers with much enthusiasm. Hope they will come again.

Those who came are O. M. Gass, superintendent of the Leon schools, leader; John McIntosh, clothier; Lester Hutchinson, grocer; Jay Colby, garage man; Clyde Butler, jeweler; James Evans, farmer; William Shields, real estate dealer; Phil Kopp, druggist.

They came in autos and had two blowouts with one car. The occupants of that car left it at Allerton and came from there on the train. The driver brought the car on to Seymour after having it repaired.
