No Doubt About it.

new railroad from Kingston to
Adelphi is paying expenses and
netting a small profit each month

There is no doubt but what the
railroad Is doing an immense
business. The one passenger
coach is not sufficient accommo-
dation for the passenger travel
over the road and preparations
are now being made for an addi-
tional coach. For instance, on
Monday of this week, the road
had 81 passengers; on Tuesday
50; and on Wednesday 65.-
Aside from this there were nine
cars of freight transported over
the road, and large amount of

As to the Devil in VintOn C0anty.

Winter has become the ac-
cepted season of the year in
which to hold revivals.
Consequently that august
parsonage, old satan, the Devil,
receives much attention during
that season OF the year. Whelh-
er or not the principles that call
out the fierce denunciations that
are usually heaped upon this
great historic character, are
suborned during the summer
months to the secular affairs
that tend to the material interest
OF mankind, we do not care to
discuss. 1t looks some times as
if they were. Perhaps there is
some excuse for people believing
that If they give their undivided
attention to the enormities of the
Devil for three months in the
year, they should be allowed to
pursue their usual avocations the
rest of the season with out bother.
Granting that this is true, there
is good reason why the winter
season should be chosen to carry
on a campaign, which, mark you,
is contrary to all authority on
modern warfare: In the winter,
Time has no par value. This
question of the Devil was called
TO mind by our Salt Creek cor
respondent. 1t appears, accord
ing to a letter which will be
found in another column, that
the members of the Macedonia
Church, III Vinton county, and
just over the line, have labored
so assiduously to consummate the
fall of the "Prince of Darkness"
that he has appeared personally

ChyiStena StiYesOn.

Was born in Adams county
Pennsylvania, September 18th.
1898; died at the home Of hel
son, Soloman Harsch, in Falls
township, this county, January
31st. 1886, aged 81 years, 4
months and 19 days.
With her parents she moved 10
Ohio and settled in Perry county,
when she was a child. After
wards the family moved to Falls
township. this county, where she
was married to John Harsch, in
1919, and settled on the home
farm, where she and her husband
lived and died. January Is, 1868
Mr.. Harsch was called away.
Four sons and seven dangh-
ters were the fruit of this union.
six of whom went before their
mother in the spirit world. The
remaining children were with
their aged parent during her last
illness and death. with the exeep.
ton of a daughter, who is in the
far west.
Mother Harsch was born and
raised in the christian faith and
was member of the Lutheran
denomination. She was grand
mother to Al and great grand
mother to IS children.
For many years her heart and
mind were set on heaven, and
she endured as seeing Him who
is invisible. Her faith was strong
and her hope full until one
merged in full fruition and the
other was swallowed up IN the
light of day.
The Heavenly Father granted
her long life. She spent it in
His service and was blessed in
seeing her children grow up to
be useful men and women and
having the respect and esteem of
the community. She rests in
peace. B.

able interest to the profession,
we give a syllabus or brief synop-
sis Of the decision of the Court
as announced by Judge Brad
bury:
A contract executed in Ohio,
under which money is loaned by
a resident of Michigan, or any
other State, to a resident of the
former State. and payable in the
latter State, with a rate of inter-
est greater than is allowed under
the laws of Ohio, but legal under
the laws Of the State where pay
able, is not usurious because the
interest is greater than the legal
rate OF Ohio, but is valid con-
tract and the rate of interest
named therein recoverable.
