Dedication of the DeLand nj. E.
Church.


The dedication of the DeLand M.
e. Church took place last Sunday,
the 25th inst, under the most favor
able circumstances. By the gener>
GUS action OF the Baptists and other
denominations of the town, services
were suspended for the day, and all
Joined with the Methodists in rejoice
ing over an event so long and anx-
ious y looked for.
Tie following persons were on the
stand and participated in the services:
Revs. j. T. Lewton, pastor of the
church, r. 7. Curnick, of New AL.
bany, Ind; Elder Policy, Of st. John
county, Fla; Rev. Farr, pastor of
the Baptist Church, DeI4and, and DIR.
Moore, OF N. Y, also of the Baptist
Church. Rev. Curnick preached at
IL a. m. and Ed. Policy at night
After the IL O'Clock sermon, Rev.
Lewton made a statement, giving
the cost of the church, the amount
paid and the balance due, showing
the former to be, as the house stood,
in round numbers, $2,488, and the
amount remaining unpaid $3.50. The
congregation was asked for this
amount, but it would not be confined
to this sum, as there would be con-
siderable money needed for furnish>
ing the church, and if it went beyond,
it would be entitled to the warmest
thanks. The response was noble
one and most gratifying, especially
little band OF church members
who have been so faithfully strug-
Cling for this end. At the close the
subscriptions and cash figured up
500, and the church was formally
dedicated to the service of Almighty
God free of debt, and the morning
service ended with the long metre
doxology,
" Praise God, from whom all blessings how."
The building is OF the gothic style
of alchitecture-is 50x30 feet in size,
with side projections XII feet-has
a seating capacity of about two hum
dred and fifty. The inside has
hard oil finish, with walnut trims
mings. The rose windows are stain.
ed glass, the others an imitation.
The plan of The church was fur
nished by the Church Extension So
ciety of the M. e. Church, and is
known as plan No. 5, a. The car

would sell of the calves as soon as
possible What was the result? The
land has become exhausted, and the
owner has neither crops nor cattle
to sell. In former times, on these
same farms, besides COWS, oxen,
sheep, a great many horses were
wintered, but then i'll those times the
manure was saved and as carefully
treated as the stock itself Then in
the proper season this would be
placed upon the soil, and in return
Tor such attention the crops would
quadruple, and the amounr led TO The
stock form but fractional portion
OF the entire produce of the larm.
AS winter comes on, all fat stock
should be sold, for then 1t brings the
highest price, aud the calves, breed
ing ewes and sows, and the younger
among the horses could be kept at
comparatively small cost.
1t does not require large farm to
keep stock, because experience shows
that the more highly cultivated and
MANFRED is the soil the greater the
yield from ii; hence the small farmer
has in the end the most satisfactory
results from bookkeeping, tor he
manure judiciousIy distributed on
his few acres gives him larger resul $
than the broad field otthc Ordinary
one unnaanured.
BY all means let every farmer keep
stock, and the above experiences
will be found practically true.

that interested men will see that every

Your chairman is able to state that the
indications for the election uf the Anti.

given universal satisfaction. When it

IL is with extreme satisfaction that we
can say that no men Of any character or
standing who have identified themselves
with the Anti honopIly movement have
deserted the cause, while the Anti,

MUCH interest attaches to the posi-
bilities of our wheat demand in Europe.
Figures ara now given which, while esti-
mates, are probably near the mark. The
Vienna congress estimates that the short
age in all Europe will be 100, 600, 900
bushels, or 10 per cent. below the aver
aye crop. 1t ls evident from this that
the demand from Europe for our wheat
will be larger than usual. Our average
exports have been from 80 to 40 per
cent. of our crops. The figures for last
year have not been made up, but as the
crop WAS exceptionally large-5N, 900,
900 bushels-the per centage OF exports
was not probably as large as usual. This
year II crop IL estimated at All, OOO, 200
bushels, or 81 ,O0O, 600 bushels less than
last year. In the year ending June,
1882, WI exported 100, DOC, 600 bushels,
and should we reach our higher average
this year our expert shauld reach $780,
600, 900, or even 200, 600, 900 bushels,
We have a surplus of 90, 000, 900 bushels
left over from last year. The prospects,
are favorable, therefore, for a good trade
in wheat this year. Our wheat has lifted
this country out of embarrassment, and
should our export be MS large as is now
Indicated, it ought to cause u flow of GOLD
this way.

The wisdom of Postmaster Genera
Gresham in deposing Vandervoort as
Chief Clerk of the Railway Mail Service
is becoming more manifest every day,
Mr.. S acey, his successor is a business
man. He makes it a business to super
wise the Railway Mail Service and has
already greatly increased It's efficiency.
The change he made a few days ago in
transferring the early morning mails is of
itself of great benefit to our merchants
and the newspapers. For years the
Omaha mails going East and South closed
at 800 a. M, although the trains did not
leave Coubcil Bluffs until $40 and 900
a. IN. This delay in the transfer caused
serious inconvenience to many patrons of
the Postofice. Mr. Stacey has made a
change so that the morning Eastern mail
does not c'ose at the Postottice until 1926,

A WASHINGTON correspondent says
that Quartermaster General Holabird,
who recently succeeded General Ing,lls,
thinks our soldiers ought to be better
dressed than they have been, and that
some of the higher officers of h depart
ment do not agree with him. He does
not propose to give any of these Colonels
q chance to thwart him, so that the
Philadelphia depot, the most important
of all so far as clothin, is.ooncerned, will
remain under the command of Lieuten'
ant Colonel Ludington and under the di
rect care of General Holabird himself.

THE trial of Lorn b.. Sessions, Of the
New York Legislature, accused of at
tempting to bribs a fcllow-member to
vote for Chauncey NJ, Depew, has ended
in a verdict of acquittal. Whatever may
have been the technical loop hole through
which the accused escaped, the result
must be regarded as dangerous to, the
purity of our legislative system. SEES
sions was an admitted lobbyist, receiving
large sums of money solely for his efforts
to influence legislation, His policy was;
SECT votes, honestly if possible, but get

many a tricky lobbyist aud many a weak,

there il 10 harm in legislative bribery
but-what is worse that there is n,
danger in it.

We propose to have no further argu

owns a set Of the Supreme Court reports
can verify our figures. They show that
fewer appeals were taken from Col
Savage in proportion tn the business per.

be endorsed at the polls. Mr.. Leavitt

years, during which period the burden of

WIN. Ii. NORRIS is q sweet-scented
man for District Judge. He left this
county years ago a played out ward poll
%tician, who came very near being sent up
for collision with whisky crooks. Down
in Saline he has been a political parasite
and blatant demag ,gue. He was repu-
dated at the polls last fall by an over
whelning maj ,rity for District Attorney,
but Governor Dawes overruled the peo.
pie and appointed him judge. Now he
asks for an endorsement, and claims to
be a staunch Anti Monopolist.
Morris has u faculty of being every
thin, by turns-for revenue only. With
liquor men he is for the saloon, with tenn.
perance men he is for prohibition, with
Republicans he is a stalwart, with green
hackers he ia down on the ~bondholder,
with Anti-monopolists he clamors for
railroad laws, and with railroaders he is
down on the + rmer's Alliance. But all
the time he has II weather eye for Morris.
