New Church Buildings.

wv" SstAbS
From all the indications there is
Without doubt s.rong feeling in
favor of building two good brick
churches in Maryville. There is
nothing that stands in the way Of
Maryville's progress much more
than the want of good church facil-
tiles. Church buildings and school
houses tell on every community,
town or city. In church buildings
Maryville is deficient, and the out.
side world feels the deficiency. With
two fine church buildings on Main
|e1tset, - sesoacss Will be changed
and their influence will be felt and
acknowledged by visitors and those
who look for homes in Maryville.
These buildings ought 10 be repre-
sentatives of the two churches
which build them as they have their
influence all over the County. Ev-
cry Presbyterian and Methodist il
the County ought to take some stock
in these buildings as the Jews did
in the Temple of Jerusalem, rs they
will stand as monuments for the
two churches, as well as a grand
acknowledgement of the principles
of Christianity by this people.

Wheat will be almost total fail
ure, while there will not be one far
mer in twenty that will make crop

pend entirely on king cotton for a

ing cotton, and it has been raining
for over week and farmers can't
do anything.
Taken altogether the outlook for

that we have rs good soil

Mr.. Tarsney opposed the bill be-
cause it did not discriminate prop
erly between the soldier who served
three months and the one who
served three years. Mr. Spinola
criticised the haste with which the
bill was rushed through. Mr.. Saw
yer, Of New York, arraigned the :
Democratic party for opposing PEN
sion legislation. Mr.. Reilly, of PeD-
sylvania, Mr.. Kerr, of Iowa, and
Mr.. J. ID. Taylor, of Ohio, favored
the bill.
Mr.. Grosvener, of Ohio, said that
under this bill the pension expendi--
ture would be increased to $3.50, roe
600, or, 43 per cent. Of the gross in
come of the government.
After an extended debate, n
which Mr.. Springer, of Illinois; M.
Perkins, Of Kansas, and Mr.. Cuch-
con, of Michigan, participated, tho
bill was ordered to vote. An

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Mr. Nc

on Rules reported a provision pro-
viding for the immediated consider

away from the committee of the
whole the right to consider money
bills and forced the House to a vote
upon them after a brief debate. 1t
was estimated that the Morrill, bill
involved an expenditure Of $40,000;.
600, and the Senate Di an expend-
itnre Of $37,OOO,0OO. One of these
bills it was proposed to pass

was no reason that they should moi

Was 1t because they feared thu
