The services at the M. E. church to-
morrow evening will be commemorative
of the founding of the Methodist Book
Concern-or publishing house one hun
bred years ago. This establishment
started with borrowed capital of $500
and now has, although losing over $780,
600 by FIRE in 1886, "a net capital of 49,
100000. 1t is at present the greatest
denominational publishing house in the
world. Everybody is cordially invited
to the centennial anniversary at the M.
E. church in this city tomorrow evening.
A large invoice of new material for the
ADVERTISER job department will be in
today. This office has made several adj
ditions to its outfit Of machinery recently
and we believe has now the best equipped
job office in this section. It will take a
back seat for none for artistic work.
Judging from the liberal patronage we
are receiving at the present time the
public at large are of the same opinion
and appreciate our handiwork.
The question was raised few days
ago in the presence of the ADVERTISER
by citizen as to whether or not the city
authorities could work city prisoners on
private property. The gentleman re-
ferred to the grading and filling of
certain lots by three or four prisoners a
few days ago. 1t might be pretty
good scheme for the city to hire out it's
prisoners at good wages if any one
wanted their labor.

nesday evening was greeted with a large
audience which greatly appreciated the
drama as well as the following comedy,
"You Can't Marry Your Grandmother"
1t will give I'm entertainment shortly
for the benefit of the Otis base ball club
of the post.
In order to make Main street a good
training course for the running teams Of
the fire companies little grading should
be done. We do not suppose, however,
the council will perform the work merely
for the sake of pleasing the boys. 1t
would be a good scheme to repair lower
Main, though, on general principles.
Mrs. Boughton, who was sent east by
DR.. Smith few weeks ago for treatment
in New York is reported beyond recoy-
cry. Surgeons state that an operation
would be sure death while without one
she cannot live three months. She is
troubled with cancer.
Farmers throughout the Hills country
are planting larger acreage than ever
before. In some localities it has been
more than doubled. Corn has had more
attention than heretofore, great many
farmers planting large amount that
have sown wheat. The out
look SO far is bright.
The dumping of garbage and manure
in the old creek channel running from
First street diagonally across to Sherman
should be stopped. It is not the finest
stuff in the world to use for grading ma
terial, particularly in the summer time
and in the heart OF the city
A new sidewalk is being laid on the
west side Of Junction avenue from the
