good people Sioux City-ward to-day
to take in Barnum's great show.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson aud Jennie
Smith took the bus for Westfield
early this morning while many
started along in the night sometime

L. n. Grill & Co. are bond to keep
up with the times,and are putting
a large.amount ofimproved machin-
cry into their mill at this place.
Lew Grill is the best miller in this
part of the west and he knows that
the way to keep his reputation good
is to continue to make the best brand
of flour in the market and he spares
neither money nor pains 70 do 80.
Our boys went over to your city

know that / live, even though it is
summer down in this torrid climate.
Our trip from LosVegas occupied
forty days, and we travelled the
eleven hundred miles without any
trouble whatever. / cannot say
much in favor of this place. The
town contains about 6000 people.
There is not much enterprise among

c. w. BEGGs recently received a
Cooley's Patent Creamer, which is
one of the best things of the kind
ever offered to the public. 1t con-
taihs six buckets, which will hold
FIVE gallons each. The Creamer. has
every thing necessary to the making
of good butter, and by using it a
farmer can make twice as much as
by the old way, which brings in the
market about 5 cents mere. nss
pound. AS our space is too limited
to give a full description Of the
Creamer, we trust that our butter
makers will call at Mr.. Beggs' store
and see the one mentioned. You
will find one of the most perfect
things of the kind you ever saw.

IT beats all what excuses people
will manufacture when they visit a
city where a circus is being held.
Last Monday a. the depot awaiting
the train solns wags undertook the
task of finding out on what business
many of our people were going to
Sioux City, and, of course did not
do much questioning among the
the sinners. One party said he
found it necessary to go and have a
tooth pulled; another wanted to get
a pair Of slippers for a child; a lady
said she had some silk she wanted
to match, and still another lady
wanted to borrow a charade book
for a church concert. Some were
going to sec the crowd, others to take
their children into the animal part
of the show, and every n had
some excuse foreign to the real in
tent of their their mission. They
went all the same, and when the
clown began his joking they yelled
and whooped just as earnestly as if
they had admitted the truth Of their
trip to Sioux City. But such is
life.

Some Questions

Christians and all people, can we
be saved in any different way from
what primitive christians were? If
so, would it not be climbing up some
other way from what Christ taught,
or would it not be departing from
the doctrine of Christ in SO doing?
Would we not be left without God
in the world if we do not attain to
all the primitive christians attained
to, will we be like them, and if not
like them, can we be one with them?
And if not one with them, can we
be saved? Did not Christ COM
mand the apostles to teach the peo-
pie to observe all things which He
had commanded them, and if the
people are to observe all things that
Christ commanded the apostles, will
any thing short of it save rs with
them, or whoever breaches less or
more than what Christ or the apos.
ties preached is he not a false teach
er? And are we not wrong to go
after them? Again, did God ever
acknowledge any people to be His
that He never spoke to, or in other
words, did the Lord ever own o peo-
pie that denied revelation in their
day? If He did, tell me where and
when. JOSHUA FAIRcHTLD.
