THE BUHLER HERALD VOLUME 1-NUMBER 17. BUHLER, RENO COUNTY, KANSAS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1914 Scovill Meeting was Great Big Success 27 Heeded the Call---Evangelists Return later---Buhler to may Return the Visit A nicer day than Tuesdav of this week could not have been picked to bring the great Scoville evangelistic party from Hutchinson for an afternoon service at this place. We believe that Nature picked her nicest June day and transplanted it in February for this great party's use in soul saving. The meeting was held in the township hall and that building was packed to the limit and scores of people stood on the outside around the open doors and windows to hear the word given out by these great evangelists. Twenty-seven of our community heeded the call of salvation at the close of Dr.

Scoville's sermon. The crowd that gathered here is estimated at close to 1000. Many neople came from Inman, Medora and Moundridge, and all the business houses in town were closed. It is very likely that Dr. Scoville and his party of workers will return to Buhler for another meeting before they leave Hutchinson, and if they do we predict even greater success than crowned their efforts Tuesday.

It is now up to Buhler to return the visit by going to Hutchinson and attending the meeting in body. There are numerous automobiles in this vicinity whose owners would be glad to use their cars for the purpose of making the trip. The committee will call on the automobile owners to solicit their co-operation in this. If you own a car and can make the trip some nice evening make it known at the bank or at this office.

The ceremony was preformed by Rev. H. Adrian assisted by Rev. Fred Just of Fairview, and Rev. A.

Schellenberg. These young people are so well known here that anything we wight say would be superfluous. We will say, though that there is not a better respected couple in the community. An extensive and elaborate wedding supper was served after the ceremony and it is estimated that between 800 and 900 people partook of the meal, all wishing the newly wedded couple all the happiness in store for them. They are at present making their home with the bride's parents, but will move onto their farm about March 1st.

Henry Franz Meets Painful Accident Henry Franz met with a very painful and also serious accident at his home 6 miles east of town last Wednesday. He was stretching a clothes line and the wire slipped in some manner and the end struck his left eye. Both lids were badly torn.

He was taken to a hospital at Newton where he is recovering. The doctors think that if nothing serious happens he will have some use of the eye with the use of a strong tense. Letter from Korn, Ok Korn, 2-3-1914 Buhler Herald: I'm so interested in reading the old home paper, so I will try to give you a few lines to put in your items. When the time is here that The Herald should come we are all waiting for it to see what has been going on at the old home in the north, (Buhler.) I wish it was a daily paper. Well, the weather is nice and fair, not much frost, but some wind and dust.

But we Oklahoma people don't mind it so much, but we sure do notice it when it is nice and fair. The farmers are getting ready to sow oats next week if it stays warm like it is now. J. K. Reimer had a big sale last week.
