--Apropos of the low price Of
horse flesh the following story coming
from the south part of the county is
apt and shows the shrewdness of our
people: Atapublic auction the other
week among the articles offered was
a span OF fine horses. The auctioneer
dwelt upon the good qualities of the
animals for some time, soliciting a
bid. After quite a time had been
spent In this manner and no bid being
announced, an old farmer spoke up
and said that he 'swould like to trade
three mighty good animals for the
team"
--Salina Republican: Between Abb
lene, Kas., and Niles, Mich, people
are all torn up over the private re-
cord Of Rev. W. A. Welsher, D. d.,
formerly pastor of the First Baptist
church Of Abilene, and lately pastor
Of a church in Niles. When Il min
lister Of the gospel has charges follow
ing in his wake from the different
places where he has held pastorates--
whether proven or unproven his
usefulness in the ministry ceases, and
he should get out of the pulpit at
once. Sinners cannot be reclaimed
by ministers whose characters are in
the least besmirched, and the earth
revolves too rapidly and life is too
short to establish the purity Of char
scter Of those who are supposed to be
engaged in the profession of leading
others to pure life.
