Mr.. EDITOR: There is a Baptist
church in Columbus. As many peo-
pie in town seem to be ignorant of
the fact, wish to make il emphatic.
The church was organized in the
spring of 1880, and already shows
signs of vigorous life. 1t is not a
Seventh Day Baptist, nor a Free
Will Baptist, nor yet an Anti-Mis-
sion Baptist church, but,a regular,re-
stricted communion Baptist church,
and has a great, rapidly-increasing
denomination behind il, which al
ready numbers more than 100000
in North America. This mighty
hoet is q unit on this one point, to
wit: We hold the Bible, the phOIe
Bible, as the sole rule of faith and
practice. In interpreting the Bible,
we welcome light from every quar-
ter. The highest scholarship is
brought to bear upon its deep, spir-
itual truths. Due Difference is paid
to the opinions of learned divines of
all ages and denominations. We
receive aid in it's study from the
best thoughts of New England Rad
icals, and German Rationslists.
Firmly holding that the Word of
God is still in advance of the most
advanced age, We hold fast by the
doctrines once delivered to the saints,
and believe them to be the only bull
warks of hope and faith. ask you
to print the above that all may know
that we are, achdt we are, and schy
we are. FRANKLIN PIERCE.

be issued five column daily paper
called the Columbus Daily Ners.
Fred. A. Coan and John Myers, two
practical printers of our city, are the

them success. Our business men

great acquisition to the life of the

We are told that there are some
saloon keepers in the city who are
selling and have sold intoxicating
liquors to minors. If these men
have no respect for themselves they
ought to respect the laws Of the land
in which they live. If not, some
father or mother may, one of these
days, have their license revoked and
thus they will find that under q
license of $500, it won't pay to sell
contrary to law. Obey the law
while it is q law. If you don't like
it seek to have il repealed, but you
will never make friends, nor money
either, by selling liquor to minors
or habitual drunkards.
