Childrens Day Exercises-Lawn Party-other


1t was children's day at Freedom on Sunday
last, and to say it was success would be
mildly putting it; it simply grand. The
general verdict was that it was decidedly the
best held in this section. Not only was the
church full, but the stairs leading to the gal
lery were packed wherever standing room was
available, and a good many could not gain
admittance. The singing was perfectly en-
chanting The children did we'll, considering
the short time they had to practice. The talk
by the pastor, Mr.. Stricken, was amusing as
well as instructive, and we were very sorry the
superintendent, Mr.. Baker, limited his time.
We won't do that when he comes TO Oakland
next Sunday. The church was handsomely
trimmed. The collection amounted to Sl5.
Farmers are busy cutting grass, threshing,
oats harvesting, &c. A great many tons OF
hay in this vicinity were completely ruined
by the recent rains.
7. S. Clark has been getting out potatoes,
and says they are turning out well.
On Sunday morning next, at 1890 O'Clock.
promptly, children's day services will be held
at Oakland M. e. Church South. We would
say to our friends if they fail to be present on
that occasion they will regret it, as they will
miss some good singing and speaking. Rev.
III. Nj. Stricken and family will take an active
part in the service.
The lawn party at Mr.. Chris. Hanson's on
Monday evening, we are informed, was quite
a success, and snug little sum was realized.
On Sunday morning Rev. Mr.. Courtney
preached an excellent sermon, after which
there was reception of members. Fifteen
were taken into the NJ L. Church.
The lawn party given by Mr.. and Mrs. {.
Hanson on Monday evening was well attended,
although the clouds would darken the sky at
times games and music were INDUCED in.
Refreshments were served at 81 o'clock. AT
a late hour all departed to their homes well
pleased with the evening. There will be
another lawn party in the grove adjoining the
church, August Sth, given by Mrs Branden-
burg. These parties are given by the ladies
Of the Christian Endeavor Society to pay for
the new lamps for the church, which have re-
Gently been put in.
Your regular correspondent was consider
ably out of the way in the amount raised for
the church. Instead of S16O, it was $500
5000 in cash, $50 in work.

Chicago 7yi5Ese (Rep) Iowa e'eeted a
republican Secretary Of State by plurality
oi 7,o36 votes. But on the McKiGley bill
issue Il went democratic by o.ISt, that be-
ing the plurality received by ,he democrat
ic congressional candidates. Yet In spite
OF these facts such aheets ss the Des
MOlnes Register. Burlington Hass'kDe and
Dubuque Times are bowling In chorus:
"Stand by the Mckinley BILL" II the re-
FIbliean party takes that idiotie, advice It
will do just exactly what the democrats
want Il to. II Is the daily and nightly
prayer Of the democracy that the rePubli-
cans will "stasd by the bill" for the to.mer
know that In that contIngeney-and In no
Other-they can elect their president In
1894 almost BY walkover. No wondtr
the democrats are delighted when they
see these so-called republican newspapers
insisting and begging thai the party shall
commit suicide
Philadelphia Telsgraf5 (Rep.) The
trainers and toolers Of the Mckinley bill
were not ignorant Of the power Of the
farmers, and they sought TO deceive them
They could have d0ne no more foolish
thing, as the results Of the late elections In
the farming states prove. They have now
largely allied themselves with the demo-
Gratis; and, unless the fraternizat.on should
be dissolved soon, the prospects Of future
successes will not be reassuring TO the re-
publicans. They spent all the last long
session IegisIating for the manufacturers
and the pensioD-claim agents, two nLmer-
Ieaiiy small classes. They should, and II
they have not failed TO learn anything
from the events OF this fall they will, be-
fore the 4th of March undo some Of the
mischief they have done, and do some
thing for the farmers, tie workingmen
and all others who were not blessed, but
cursed rather, by close legislation. The
time Is short enough, but It Is also long
enough, TO give to the country intim alton
of repentance and of disposition to do
what the country wants and not what one
or two small classes demand.

In his last correspondence he says,
II any other part Of this county (and es-
pecially near Albany,) had as had roads as
we have near here the county would pitch

Now, I want to say we are NOT all iools
here yet, and that nine out Of ten Of the
sensible tax payers here condemn the
senseless aud foolish attempt OF the zSmes

udlce against Albany. Now, every body
knows that there have been no bridges
built at Albany, and that no assistance has
been given by the county 10 keep the
roads leading into that city Ia repair ex-
eepl to pay for little lumber TO make
culverts and small bridges on the prairie
