Will some one rise and explain.

ing of his residence and all OF his household
property. The fire is supposed to have been
started by couple OF tramps whom he had

covered sometime during the night, and 1t

Services in the Christian church next Lords
day, Jan. 2fth. as usual. Subject-ne Di-
vine Creed vs. human creeds. The former is
all-sufficient; the substitution of the latter Is
one step in apostacy. In the evening. there
will be sermon on this subject, from q noted
Presbyterian preacher. Since the creed ques-
ton has been introduced among us. let all in
terested earnestly seek the truth regarding 1t.

and is full of information for the inquiring
ones who desire to come west. 1t contains
cuts of several towns on the line of the road
and in Colorado. The cut intended to repre-
sent the Salina High school, however. is quite
a mistake. Instead Of the small two-story
building there represented, we have large
three-story building. The view given OF
Georgetown, Colorado, is very good indeed.
The commissioners carefully considered the
petition from Smoky View township asking
for an election to vote township aid to the
amount OF So. 900 per mile throughSnoky View

ried the lamp out Of the room and closed the

A correspondent in the Abilene Gazette il
sadly ''off ais feet on the subject of the n.
h. & T. road-especially when he says the
plan was started by Saline county politician.
IL is matter over which the farmers and bu.
siness men OF this county have been studying
for a long time, and in so doing they have
consulted what they thought to be their own
and the coun,y's good From conversation
held with Dickinson county people. We judge
that they are acting upon the same principle
there. II there was way to get the road
without bonds. we would oppose issuing
bonds; but there is not, and we believe tina,
the investing reasonable sum BY bonds will
more than compensate our county for the
outlay.
