Having had occasion recently to
copy an item criticising Rev. w. w.
BlalOck, we take pleasure in reprint
ing the following from the COncOrdia
Daylight:
Rev BlalOck closed successful and interest
ing series Of revival meetings at the Christian
church of Mitonyille last Sunday During
Rev BlalOcks services the church membership
was almost doubled, and the old members were
spiritually revived. The singing was one of
the attractive features of the meetings, large
choir consisting of Miltonvales most talented
musicians. under the leadership of Prof. c. +.
Smith. furnished the music.
A Little Girl who heard the "Texas

with the manner and words of Percy
Harris when he directed the bell boy
who announced a visitor to "shOw

day she asked her Grandma where
the devil was. 80, he is everywhere,
i'm the corner of the room and up
stairs and down cellar and every
where" "But where is he now,
Grandma" "Why, he is probably.
under your chair now" "Well," re-
marked the Little Girl, with the air
of one who had heart for any fate,
"as Percy Harris says, 'shO'C him

"When / went into this office three
years ago." observed County Clerk
Eckley the other day, "drummers
for Topeka, LeavenwOrth, TT. Scott
and Wichita printing houses were
making regular trips here every thir-
ty days to gather up the county work.
Now half of them never come at all
while the other half only come at
long and uncertain intervals" Which
is all because a printing office has
been built up here in lola that COM
petes i'm nearly all lines of printing
with any other office i'm the State.
And that means that money which
was formerly sent out of town is now
kept at home.
We are sorry to learn that some
members of the League have con-
strued Judge Riner's restraining order
to mean that they should be restored
to their claims, and have acted accord
ingly. This is certainly wrong con-
A restraining order must
apply equally to both parties toa suit.
1t cannot restrain one and not the 9TH
er. Those who are forcing their way
back upon land from which they have
been lawfully elected, are only piling
up more costs and trouble for them
selves.

Cummings, L. S Happersett, Chas.
Clark, S. c. Brewster, F. f. Smith
and H. b. McHugh went over to
Yates Center last Saturday night to
attend a meeting of the Knights of
Pythias lodge of that place. They
had a splendid time and are loud in
their praises of the unlimited hospital
ity of the Yates Center Knights. The
order is very prosperous there, the
lodge numbering lis active members.
Garnett Journal: Mrs. H. X. Wi
mans came near being drowned Wed
nesday. She stepped into the cellar
stumped her toe and fell down, and to
her surprise fell into water few feet
deep. In the fall she hurt her side
and if the folks in the house had not
heard her and rushed to her rescue
she would probably have drowned in
her own cellar.
The Kansas City Oculists whom Mr..
B.F. Clark consulted told him that
his injured eye could nOt.be saved and
that, in order to guard against SYM
pathetic affection of the other eye, it
would be best to have it removed. He
therefore submitted TO the operation,
returning home on Wednesday. The
loss of an eye is terrible thing and
Mr.. Clark has the sympathy of his
friends.
John Moran was down from Nc
Pherson last week and called to see
