discussion, and Mr.. OFT closed. Their main debate
rested ON Peter. Mr.. Lambert claimed that Christ

founded il On the faith of Peter and the Apostles
We will not endeavor to give any of the speeches.
but will let those who present decide for them
seises There were some short hand reporters from
St. Jo~rph present, and We believe they propose to
give fall report of each mans speech in the ST. Jo-

eide for themselves who was hurt and those who
were not there can send and get the above named
paper.
Aug Euler has returned from the Red River eoun-
try. He left, few days ago, to be absent several
month"; hut on his arrival there, was badly dissp-
pointed in the country, and general appearance Of
things The railroad lands that highly spoken
of by the companies do not amount to much All
good farming land is held SO per acre. for the
prnrie and that Land which they advertise for p to
IS per is not worth anything. the soil is very
shallow. being only about two inches thick. and the
bottom is coarse sand. A person can depend that
those companies are not going TO give anything
away that is good for they have the money. and
will hold until good price is obtained. Our advice
is, to all those who have good farm in DoniPhan
County. to hold to it, have good n country
for all kinds Of grain and fruit can be found any
WHERE We have failures in crops, but show us
the country that has not. Our climate IL good. the
summers ar. not SO long. short either they are
in some countries. We will stick to old Doniphan,
first. last, and all the time. Me- too, Pete.-Pr.l
Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Fleming have returned from
their trip East, and now at their home, in ST.
Joseph.
Z. V. Snively and J. L. Motter leave, this week,
for Old Mexico. They are going on mining expe-
dition.
Mr. Powers. whose neglect eaused the recent acct
dent was arrested and held for manslnushter in the
fourth degree. We can't where they can make
anything out of the arrest, it nothing more
than forgctfnness- something that is liable to hap
pen to any one. Ii WAS, We will admit grand mis-
take-ons that has CAUSED great deal of SORROW and
loss of property. We think there is who feels
it more than Mr.. Powers, and he has the sympathy
of the community. Mr. Powers Is n sober, industri-
young man, the sole support Of sister, whom he
he has been sending to school in ST. Joseph, and a
little brother, who has been attending school here.
This accident has put him out Of position on the
railroad, from which he made his money, and
We think he is worthy Of that sympathy. Let every
person remember their faults and bunders and
sec how they would feel, should such n misfortune
happen them, and not condemn man for what Is
liable to happen to themselves.

Rev. Mr.. Award lretur,d to large audience, on
last Sabbath evening. Subject. The Bible. lie gave
\ very able lecture the same, and made some
points plain to US, wherein had been in doubt
before.
We notice is representing DOniphan
caunty having q full crop Of fall wheat. We
should like to whsre II is 1t is not in our Town
ship and doubt il it is in any in the State to
say Nothing about the Comfy. Ii looks bad for u.
to blow up crops all summer, and then, when
fall comes have agents in the East soliciting aid fol
KANSAS. When she has a full crop all summer, and
that full crop out about November, it goes to
show that the full crop does not amount to much
The best way is to give the truth about the matter
and say Doniphan County will not yield over Is pei
cent. of full crop, this year, Of fall wheat.
