K COTTON HARVESTER. SEN
ator Casey's place on Deer
Creek was this week the scene
of the trial of the Logue Cotton Har-
vester. Mr.. Logue was the inven-
tor of the best cotton tie fastening
ever invented, and is devoted to
making cotton harvester.
He is greatly encouraged in the re-
suit Of the trial of his machine, and
expects TO make the invention this
season. This may be too sanguine
a view of the case, but we do think
he will make it final great success
if he can get the proper financial
backing. He is poor man and is
therefore at great disadvantage.
He declares his-machine took all
the cotton of the row by being driy-
On over the row, but the brush which
il relied on to clean the picking or
stripping apparatus, did not act fast
enough, and only about one-half the
cotton cleaned from the stalk was
delivered on the belt to carry it to
the receiver. This defect, he is con-
fident, he can easily remedy, and
that beyond that there is 10 other
trouble except to make other parts
of the machine stouter that are too
weak. He says Senator Casey, who
witnessed the test. declares these
are now the only difficulties to over
come.
We cheerfully give these facts to
the public because we reprinted the
statement Of the Rolling Fork Pilot,
which was not favorable. We are
quite confident, that sooner or later,
a cotton harvester, that will save q
vast deal of labor, will be invented,
and we hope Mr.. Logue will be sue
cessful in getting the small amount
Of money he needs to make the nee
essary improvements in his harvest
er. He experimental in field
where there was fully a thousand
pounds of cotton to the acre. Vicks-

X RENOWNED trotting horse
IA trainer and author, the inimita-
= : BILE John Splan, attended the
Blach stallion race, and was present
one day at the Breeders Meeting at
Mystic Park. He delivered several
short addresses at the latter place,
which are we'll worthy the attention
of young breeders, and some OF the
veterans in the business may derive
benefit from them. While standing
in the stretch watching the gait OF
the trotters, a big bay stallion was
driven past. The is too large" re-
marked bystander. "Well, that
is not bad falling" replied Splan.
81 have visited a great many breed
ing establishments where trotters
are raised, and have found q great
many little squibs that are worthless
fcYall purpose horses because they
lack size. Now l think that the
breeders and the country at large
will be much better off to breed so
as to avoid producing these ungainly
Lilliputians. Let me tell you some
thing else. The breeders of trotting
stock should pay more attention to
road qualities than they do now. If
I have had one man to ask me this
question, ten have done so since |
came to Boston, Where can find a
good road horse? Not single man
has yet asked me, Where can find
trotter?'
"The highest priced mare that
has been sold this season was bought
because she was pleasant roadster.
That was Aubine. The man who
paid $40, 900 for her would not take
the gift Of the mare Susie S., that
beat Aubine at Hartford, because
the latter is not first-class roadster
and pleasant driver. l have trot-
ter to sell, and he is game race
horse. i will sell him for $2500. IF
he were good roadster | could get
$4,000 for him quick. American

The service was an exposition OF the
doctrines OF the New Church, and was
= very able address. He spoke most
entertaningiy, and 80 fortified hs
statements with logic as 70 make them
seem conclusive and impregnable. BY
s-ry many OF bis hearers the sermon
vas pronounced the most able ever de-
Lyeled ia Grand Rapids.
Mr.. Goddard comes Of an illustr.Ous
family. Ills father Is the Rev. Warren
Goddard al eminent clergyman and a
wellknOwn writer OF the New Church.
In appearance be bears a striking re-
scu.tAnce 90 Abraham Lincoln except

has q winning manner and a personal
magnetism tlat AT the same time cOm-
ton and wins their hearts. during his
stay here .he j. the guest OF Hon. L.
ID. NOrrls.
After the sermon the Rev. George
Henry Dole, who has been the pastor
OK the church Tor several months, was
formally ordained. The ceremony,
which differs very little from that
OF the Episcopal church. was conducted
by Rev. Mr. Goddard. Hon. l.. ID. Nor
rs, representing the society OF Grand
Rapids, presented the candidate for or
diuaUOn. Rev. A. +. Frost, of Detroit,
acted as representative OF the Mlchl-
gan New Church association, and Rev.
l.. L. Mercer, long and devoted
friend of the candidate, also assisted IN
the exercises. At the ceremony of the
presentation of the Word a large and
haudsOme copy of the Scriptures was
presented, handsomely inscribed. Al
ter the ordination exercises were over
the rite of baptism was performed upon
three children two adults, and class
OF four adults were confirmed and
received into the New Church society
of Grand Rapids.
The ceremony Of the Lords supper
was then administered, the Rev. A. f.
Frost, OF Detroit, officiating. All the
ceremonies were rnterspersed with APP
propr.ate music beautifully rendered.
The evening service was read by the
pastor after which the Rev l.. =. Mer-
Ger, of Chicago, delivered a fine SER
mon. He took for his topic the ques-
ton addressed TO the Savior 10y the
lawyer, What shall do to be saved?''
Mr.. Mercer Is an earnest and eloquent
speaker, whose well chosen sentences
inspire and charm his audience, and
he has entire command over the
emotions of those he addresses.
Tonight he will deliver another sermon
at the earnest solicitation of many who
were present last evening. His subject
VIII be: "The Bible; What it is, and
How To Use it." The service will com
mence at 7:3O, and the majority of
those who have heard Mr.. Mercer will
not fail to avail themselves of this op-
pOrtunIty.
