A Live Baptist Paper.

There is not a better religious paper
published in the West than the CEN
TRIAL BAPTIST. It's editor believes it
to be his duty to publish paper that
shall in every sense be the exponent
of the best thought of the denomina-
ton which he represents. hence both
the editorials and contributed articles
are full of merit. He futher places
proper stress on the Importance of de-
nominational news to his readers and
therefore gives much space to this de-
partment. The Sunday School depart
ment is most ably edited, and the
Family and Home departments are Sc
cond to those of no other paper in this
State. The paper in point of mechan-
ical makeup is good. The manage
ment is doing everything to extend the
circulation of the paper. just now
they are taking new subscribers from
Oct. 18th to Jan. 1st. for % cents.
This is very liberal considering that
the regular price of the paper is $500
a year. Every Baptist family who is
not already receiving it ought to res
pond to this offer. Subscribe now.

wishes for pleasant journey through

BELLEvIEW.
Oct. %, 1894.

There seems to be revival in bust
ness in the West End: quite number
of new buildings erected and genera
repairing going on. All seem to be
making ready to meet the cold winter
blast. which will De sure to come soon
err or later.
F. NJ. Adams of Goodland has com-
pleted a large barn that will shed
about IS or 80 head of cattle, and
many tons of hay. BY the way, it is
a grandly constructed building for a
boy to supervise in the construction,
but Frank is a boy that is full of ener-
gy and business. All that our country
lacks, we haven't got enough Franks.
The Burgundy school is progressing
nicely at present. All the students
are learning well--that Is, all that take
an interest in their studies. Laura
Henderson of Burgundy, Is years of
age, has all but gone over her 10
branches again; Bessie Henderson, a
little sister of Laura's, 6 years of age.
has gone over the 9Th Reader the third
time and is studying Rays Practical
Arithmetic, the Sd book, and will take
up U. S. History and Geography soon.
Bessie will challenge the county, TAX
ing in consideration her age and time
in school.
F. NJ. Croker of Belleyiew was
welded to Miss Laura Sumpter of
Clones recently. Joy and peace BE
unto them and theirs.
1t is being reported that there are
panthers around Burgundy and other
places in the West End of the county.
Some responsible citizens say that they
hear them.
The squirrels are all gone to parts
unknown; it is quite task to find a
squirrel now around Burgundy.
The chickens are still dying with
cholera. 1t makes trade dull for the
merchants in the West, as they had al
most become legal tender.
Samuel Reyburn of Arcadia was in
our section recently, attending to his
official business. Sam looks remarka-
bly, well. We are glad to see his
health improved, as we need his as
sistance in writing up OUR Textbook
and Sam strictly understands his busi-
ness after years. experience.
The sorghum machines are numer-
Gus through the country. We will all
be as sweet as lasses this year.
Jack Frost visited US three nights in
succession, killing all vegetation that
is not ice-proof.
The farmers have all completed
their seeding, such as wheat. rye, grass
and clover. and some wheat is large
enough to hide a rabbit-a wee bit of
q rabbit.
John Mitchell of Ironton was the
guest of H. r. Henderson and family
on the 9TH inst. John was on a Wild
goose chase, but they did not quack to
suit him, so he left them to do their
own Hopping.
A protracted meeting will begin at
Sycamore Grove church the 18th. A
grand time is anticipated in the way of
of religious exercise. We like to see
the work going on, as we need more
Christianity in our land.

county. but we can stand more of it at
this season Of the year than in July
and August. ROwDY.

Missouri Granite and Labor.

Editor Repu5lic-The agitation in
your columns of the matter of using on
ly Missouri material in the Kansas
City Federal Building has already re-
suited in good. understand that the
granite and stone men of the State
have determined to leave nothing un-
done to compel the Treasury Depart
ment to give our State an equal chance
with others in the specifications now
on file in the Supervising Architects
Office at Washington. l am informed
also that the labor unions are about to
take action looking toward the en-
ployment of Missouri mechanics and
artisans in the preparation of the ma
terial and the construction of the
building. II Missouri was not rich in all
the class of material that will be need
ed in the erection of the finest and most
costly edifces in the country and could
not prepare and furnish them as cheap
ly as Maine or Georgia or Michigan,
we would have no right to contend for
the consideration we ask in this in
stance. But her granite adorns Fed
eral, State and municipal buildings in
this State and city. In Chicago and
in many of the county capitals of IL
linois. in Ohio, in Indiana and New
York State our granite is used. The
foundation of our Custom-house is
built of it. The first story of the new
City Hall is beautiful enough in color
and texture. The residence of the late
model of beauty and is built through
out of Missouri granite. Nearly ev-
cry Office building and business house
that has been erected for 20 years
bears ample testimony of the variety
the granite material that is to be found
within the confines of Missouri.
The best granite cutters and work
ers and the most skilled mechanics in
decorations and workmanship are to
be found in this city and State. Hun
dreds of laboring men would be en-
ployed at good wages in quarry aud

1t is time when the laboring classes
are sadly in need of employment in |
our city, and it would be burning |

here to work In O Missouri building. |

GRANITEvILLE, Mo-, Oct. Is, 1894.
Ed. Regtster-Will you be so kind as
to give me space in your paper to ask
Mr.. Joel B. Holloman the following
questions? First, WOULD like to hear
from him in regard to the road law.
Is that law for the rich man or the
poor man, that a man that has money
can pay two dollars and receive his re-
ceipt, and the man that has no money
is compelled to work three days. Now,
Mr.. Holloman. how is this? l under
stand that you supported that law, and
also you supported the law that man
when he was over fifty years of age
| could not serve as roadmaster or road
overseer. Now, Mr.. Hol,oman, did
you not stop to think that when you
| was supporting that law that at same
time that your father was sitting on
the county bench. and that he was in
his dotage, or in other words he was
answer through the REGISTER, for
some of us old Democrats want to
h ear from you on the road law; and
also, when u man pays his two dollars.
| what per cent. does the roadmaster
receive for collecting that money, and
what amount is left for the road.
AN OLD DEMOCRAT.
We called Mr.. HollOman's attention
to the above. and following is his re-
ply: Yes, l voted for the bill, but l
did it under protest and as a compro-
mise. When the bill was before the
Committee on Roads and Highways,
who had it under consideration for two
months, it was proposed to make the
time for working out taxes four days.
l and several others went before the
Committee and ..kicked," aud on COM
promise the time was reduced to three
days. II we who were opposed to it
had not agreed to do this, the original
bill would have passed-for there
were not enough of US to defeat it.
A half-loaf is better than no bread and
if IAN Old Democrat" had been in my
place, believe he would have done
just as did: taken the half-loaf when
he could get no more. l think that
the roadoverseers ought to be taken
from the men who pay the road tax,
and when a man is exempted from the
tax, he should be willing to let those
who pay have the job. The roadov-
Overseer gets no percentage on the tax
he collects"
