Rolyat.—The brethren here have built a neat little church-school building, and the school, consisting of nine pupils, with Miss Ada M. Philips, of Oklahoma City, for teacher, has been progressing nicely for some time. All are more than pleased with the school, and hope that this humble beginning may result in great good.

Eastern Louisiana, southern Arkansas, northeastern Texas, and the southern part of the Indian Territory lie contiguous to this school, and there is work enough for one hundred missionaries for a year or so. All cannot go to foreign fields, but some could come here with their children, and help build up this school; and while giving their children the advantages of such an education as the Lord would have them receive, they could support themselves by farming, canvassing, or in other ways. This is a good farming and fruit country, a land of sunshine and mild winters. Good unimproved land may be bought here near the school at from three dollars to five dollars an acre; one quarter down, and the remainder in three equal yearly payments. Notes bear ten per cent. Improved land may be bought at from six dollars to twelve dollars an acre. If further information is desired, address C. P. Bodwell, Rolyat, Tex.
