OCE-The last Democrat contains statement
from Thomas Ferrel, one of the number engaged
in the robbery Of G. w. Clark's tailor shop,
which is designed to clear Scoring and Van
Vaultenburg of all connection in the natter
We have only to say that Mr.. Ferrel made quite
IA different statement to Sheriff Norton, while
on his way to the penitentiary and after he htd
entered that institution. The minuteness with
which he described the whole transaction, lett
no doubt on the minds of those who heard him
as TO the correctness of his statements. The
statement published in the Democrat was OBJ
tanned by appeals to his sympathy in behalf of
his fellow criminals, and it is hoped by It's pub
lication to screen them from just punishment
and turn them loose upon society 20 repeat their
robberies The interference of the public press to
screen thieves and robbers is going quite out
side the bounds of propriety, even though the
guilty persons be party friends.

TnE ScHooL MEEriSG The School meeting
held on "Wednesday evening of last week was
well attended. The committee sppointed to
examine the annual report Of the Board Of Edu-
cation, reported that they found it substantially
correct. II seems that the district is about
$500 in debt. A motion was made TO levy a
tax of seven mills on the dollar for current ex-
penses, and after remarks from several persons,
the vote was taken and it was lost. A motion was
then made and carried that q six mill tax be
levied for current expenses, and it was also de-
cided to levy one mill tax to BE- specially de-
voted to the liquidation of our outstanding
indebtedness. After several suggestions relative
to the economical and efficient government OF
our schools, it was stated by the Board that
they had collected, last year, by special tax
about $500 for the erection Of a school building
in the Eastern division of this district, and that
they had purchased half an acre of grouhd for
800 and contracted for the erection of building
to cost 1925. They therefore asked the district
to authorize a levy of special tax to meet the
amount contracted to be paid over and above
the means at their disposal, but the meeting 70
ted to adjourn without authorizing the collec
ton of said tax.

Sy- The Baptist Church was well filled las
Saba tn morning by an aFereciative audience
to hear the sermon on lristian Patriotism, by
the pastor, Rev. I. P. Cannon. 1t was one Of
the ablest discoursss of the character to whicl
we have ever had the pleasure of listening
The following synopsis Is greatly CONDENSED
skeleton OF its most prominent points
The first object OF the speaker was to show
that enlightened patriotism is christian yr
tue.
1t is not bigotry such as characterzes the
Jews-not the pride OF the Greeks-not the ma
tiona ambition of ROme--not the selfish nes;
of modern na tiuns which is unreenting selfish
ness towards those who live beyond certain
territorial limits
The patriotism to which we refer proposes 10
sanctify and subordinate the love of country to
the love Of man. 1t assumes that every true
interest is universal, and refuses TO entertain
any project as final, less than the nmelioration
of the species.
Secondly 1.-THE highest order of patriotism is
that which leads US to seek the salvation of our
countrymen. sasr .r.#
When the majority of people aim only at
and rise no higher, than their own personal
and present comfort, and are content to leave
the world as they found it, it must be al.
mitted that he who rises above this selishness
and enleayors 10 do them good, however
limited his object sdeserves well of his Jfei
lows But he who aims at the salvation of his
countrymen without dsregarding symptoms
aims at the extinction Of disease and the i'm
plantation of new end al immortal life.
Thirdly the highest order Of instrumental
ty we eau employ Tor this end, Includes willing
selfdenial and earnest prayer .Ifr.-.
The employment of these argue high degree
of spirituality, and the bulk OF protesting chris
tlans content with state of piety which
would rather give money than pray; which
would rather employ others than act itself
rather combine selEindulgence and very slender
religious success, than seIf,denial and the great.
est amount of good they can think Of
Four;hly :--what are some of the reasons
which should induce this devotedness?
In seeking the highest good Of our country
men. we are yielding to the promptings of sane
titled humanity.
In thus acting. the highest relative interests
are found to coincide with our duty.
We have spoken Of the patriotism OF Jesus.
No sooner did lie fad himself in capacity to
bless than he began with blessing the inhab-
ltantS OF jerusalem, While their eyes We're
cleaning with the fire of revenge, he commits,
stoned his servants to hasten and open The char
ser Of redemption within sigat OF Calvary.

THE CRoPs--Perhaps Wood county II ever had
better crop of grass than is now being hOrves-
ted. The farmers of this county have given but
little attention to the production of wheat, yet
we believe there was a greater breadth( sown
last year than usual and the yield will be food,
Rye is excellent, and Barley and Oats arep like
wise looking well. Corn is somewhat back ward,
and owing to the long continued wet weather,
not the usual amount was planted. Much
that was planted did not grow and i'll nltny
fields few hills have more thaa three stItks,
while a large number have but one and tw9.--
Nevertheless, we expect as much rips corn td be
harvested next fall as we had last year. THIS is
excellent weather for its growth, and it never
looked more thrifty than at this time. We have
no doubt but it will be much farther advonc sd
at the first proximo than it was on the first Of
August last year. Potatoes, and all vegetables
are doing well. The future grows brighter ever. :

aS-Quite a large number Of our citizens at
tended the celebration in Toledo last Monday.
The Olive Branch made five, and the Belle four
trips, and they never went without good load
The Olive Branch carried over two hundred the
first trip. She took down such large number
that she was under the necessity of engaging the
Albion to assist her in getting them back again.
Those of us who remained at home had a sober
time, and no mistake.
