There Is an uncommon number of
churches in London; they are marvel
lousy common objects. They are
almost all stone, and rallied in with
granite posts and iron fences. Two
things about the Episcopal churches
(Which are in the majority strike an
American as peculiar. One is that fire
apparatus is often stored in the little
enclosures, so that up against dingy
church wall you see bright red lad.
der or flaming tool or hose cart.
The fire ladders are on wheels
Church-yards are sometimes regular
fire stations, and in such cases q red
lantern is hung on the ratings at night
with the words "Firc Station glarine
in its lighted front. The other pecu-
liar thing about the churches is that
public notices and placards are posted
on the doors and ratings.
There you read the tax ratings for
the parish, and that marriage licenses
are obtainable somewhere on the prem
ises, and that men are wanted for
the army, ard stokers will get good
pay in the navy. In these notices the
branch of the public service that calls
for recruits usually posts colorcd
picture of the uniform of that wing of
the service, chromos that are intended
TO look very alluring.
We Americans are reminded by this
treatment of the houses of worship
that perhaps it was not SO strange,
after all, for the British to use the
churches in New York and Boston for
garrisons and prisons, and whatever
else they needed them for during the
Revolutionary war. Where church
and state are Joined, the state puts the
meeting-houses to its own uses

Gently taken quite building boom, and
promises to be q competitor with Sails
|, bury for the location OF the county sent
It is;situated in a splendid agricultural
region and has among its promoters men
of enterprise and money.
Salisbury is enjoying building boom
of no small proportions. She is to have
neat hotel 30x80 feet, two stories in
height, in addition to her present rea-
sonRble accommodation for the travel
ing public. Contracts have been let
during the week for four new residence
baiidinge, and there are several others
under consideration. A force of rail-
road workmen are here grading for adj
ditional side tracks and the
! depot is to be enlarged and
better arrangements afforded for patrons
of the road. The demand for carpenters is
beyond the supply. Lumber is also
scarce at times. but the work goes on.
This county has unusual advantages in
the way of churches and school houses
and the society is as good as can be found
in any of the older communities.
No exhibit will be found at the Spring
Palace to impress the minds of strangers
with the varied resources of this portion
of the Panhandle. The truth is there are
too few people here to bear the expense
and take the necessary interest. Our
farmers are here to stay, and they could
hardly expect any return for money IN
vested in advertising the county. OF
course they want nelghbors, but they are
too busy to engage in any project OF
much magnitude to accomplish that end
This arises from no lack of enterprise I,
however, as the work done already
speaks well for those interested. Sub
stantial houses and fences cover the la nd
and farming operations are carried on
by the most improved methods. Pros
pectors are warmly welcomed, and each
man is ready and willing to assist in find
ing location for those who mean bust
ness.
No branch of business is oYerdone, but
there are several good openings for mer-
chants. This town needs and will soon
have another general merchandise store;
dry goods and clothing would pay. A
stock of furniture would also prove re-
munerative. These things will all come
in time, but he who gets on the ground
first secures the cream of the trade.
The rainfall thus far this season has
been ample, and an abundant harvest il
assured
Four postoffices supply the people with
mail, Salisbury, Newlin, Ephrsim and
Way.

until November.
