such a general revival of trade at j.

Acting under these instructions
we proceeded at once to secure the
services of an efficient evangelist and
after two months effort we have en-
ployed Bro. j. w. Strawn, formerly
minister of the church at Holden.
Mo, who enters at once upon his
work. Owing to the financial weak
ness of the cooperation we were
forced to unite with the churches at
Santa Fe and Rising Sun. Brother
Strawn will spend a portion of each
month with them, the rest of his
time in the employ of our county
work under the instructions of the
Mexico convention. He is well
known to us and We most heartily
recommend him to you as an efficient
minister of the word whose character
is above ~reproach.
Our next annual convention will be
held with the church Of Liberty, be
ginning on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER, 1887, and We hope at this
convention to make q most favorable
report. By that meeting the worl
ought to be strong enough to com
mand more of the evangelist's time.

searchable riches of Christ. To thi,
end receive him as becometh saints

c. C.. Kiser'S
STORE!

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek-
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took a
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he'd sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one paws
for printers ink the greater is his gain.
