Decoration Dan.

Decoration day was duly observed
at Toledo today. The program as
prepared was carried out as far as
possible on account of the inclem-
ency ofthe weather. The exercises
in the forenoon consisted in sending
committee with flowers out to
decorate the graves at the cemetery.
y. ona o'clo-h II he aHernocn tie
exercises began at the court house.
The usual ceremonies of the Grand
Army were gone through with,
interspersed with music. Recita-
tions by Anna Alexander, Emry
Brigham and Leon Rosebrooks,
and songs by the choir preceded the
address Of the day. The address
was delivered by Hon. R. A. Bensell
and was a very patriotic and fitting
one. After the address the song
America" was sung, benediction
pronounced and the exercises were
over.
Not so large a crowd as usual
was present, owing no doubt to the
inclemency Of the weather. Geo.
Sylvester and R. A. Bensell were
the only G. a. r. men up from
Newport and B. +. Hahn, from
Yaquina.

The session laws of the recent
session of the Legislature have been
received from the secretary of state
by County Clerk Jones. They do
not make so bulky a volume as the
laws of 1923 did, and the general
laws in them are very short. In
fact the largest IS the general ap-
priation bill, and the cost of print
ing them.
The principal attorneys in the o.
P. appeal case on both sides went
to Salem in body TO ask the SUI
preme court to advance the case OIL
the DOCKET that 1t might come to a
speedy hearing. Taking the i'm
portance of the case into considera-
ton, and the further fact that both
sides are clamoring to have it ad-
vanced, it is very probable that it
will bedone.
They had a city election out at
Corvallis last weel:, and from all
accounts it must have been one of
the wild and woody kind. As a
kind Of an aftermath warrants have
been issued for five different indi-

voting and it is said that there is
more coming. 1t does look like a
revision Of public morals in Cor
Wallis would not be amiss.

weather before they ever start on
such a trip again.

Bishop Duncan In Charlotte.

Sunday was red letter day with
the Methodist of Charlotte, says the
News. Bishop Duncan was there and
preached three sermons. His morn
ing sermon at the Tryon street
Methodist church was the most in
teresting of all. 1t was more in the
nature of talk on church and church
work, and was inspiring in its effect
upon the Methodists. The initial
steps toward the formation OF the
new South Tryon Street Methodist
church were taken and a list of the
names of los members of the Tryon
street church, who had moved their
mem bership TO the new church. at
least 100 more will follow. The new
church is to be formally organized at
the next conference.
Bishop Duncan will visit Winston
next month TO start the ball in motion
for the building Of new Methodist
church in the West End.

for Hitting Negro.

The Suspension Of Conductor Marshall
for Hitting Negro.
There is trouble brewing in the
camp of the Southern Railway, says
the Charlotte News, and unless
peace conference is held and a salts
factory adjustment of the differences
now existing between the Order of
Railway Conductors and the Southern
there is no telling when the thing
will right itself.
Capt. G. f. Marshall, a popular con-
ductor on the Atlanta and Charlotte
division OF the Southern, was suspend
ed about Two weeks ago. The trouble
arose about negro who was occupy
ing two seats Capt. Marshall IN
formed him that the train was very
much crowded and that he would
have to give up the two seats occupied
by him. The negro declined to do
this, and during the wrangle he called
Marshall eco wardly cur" The con-
ductor struck the negro with his
punch The affair was reported to
Third Vice President Baldwin, who
ordered Marshall suspended for thirty
days. The 30. r. C." at once set
about to examine into the case, and
it seems that by their action they
have sent their disapproval signed by
the ones at the head Of their order.
But MIR. Baldwin has, as it seems,
paid no attention to their demands.
Now the whole matter rests With the
20. r. c."

DEATH OF MRS. CONLEY.
A Lady Who Formerly Resided in
Winston.

A Lady Who Formerly Resided In
Winston.
The Washington Post, Of Septem-
Der 10Th, contains the following no.
tice of the death of lady who has
many friends in Winston, having re-
sided here some time a few years
ago:
News comes from DanYille, n. Y,
of the death there Tuesday OF Mrs.
Elizabeth A. Conley, of Washington.
She was the widow of Timothy A.
Conley and mother OF VIM. I'll. Conley,
of tue Treasury Department; also
well known local comedian and vocal
ist. Mrs. Conley was well known in
this city, where she had lived for
number of years. and also in Boston
and Chicago. Moreover, her sweet,
motherly dispotion made her beloved
by all who knew her. Last spring she
suffered an attack of grip, superin-
ducing stomach trouble and anemia
from lack of assimilation. AS she was
evidently wasting away in Washing
ton, her devoted son took her to the
Danville Sanitarium last July, where
he has uremained constantly at her
bedside ever since, in the expectation
of one brief visit to Washington to
secure longer leave. The funeral will
be in Boston, her former home, and
the interment will be made in the
beautiful Woodlawn cemetery"

The Q. r. & Y. v. Railway.

The citizens of Wilmington are
stirred up over the report that there
is a plan on foot to dismember the
Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley railway.
Mayor Fishblate says such a proceed
ing as tie sale of the road in divisions
would be great injustice and wrong
to Wilmington and he is of the opin-
ion that the $4,000 in bonds voted
by Wilmington TO the Cape Fear ana
Yadkin Valley railroad would be in
validated by it. He states that the
bonds were voted on the condition
that Wilmington was to be terminus
of the road as now run and that any
interference with the road as whole
would violate the conditions and
at least call the validity of the bonds
in question. He thinks the mer-
hcauts and citizens generally should
unite in meeting to take action on
the matter.

COMING NOVEMBER 3RD
EVANGELIST FIFE WILDE HERE
ON THAT DATE

Decided to Take a Rest Before B. GIN
Meg His Meeting in Winston
HIS Work at Camden. Ark
Stirred the Whole Ciy.
Mr.. Fred N. Day received tele-
gram last Monday from Evangelist
Fife stating that he would not begin
his meeting in Winston until Nov.
3rd. He says that, nothing prevent.
ing, he will certainly be here on that
date.
The evangelist is suffering with a
severe cold and hoarseness and
deemed it advisable to rest at home
until thej above date. Last week he
expected to come to Winston on the
30th inst. 1t is presumed that his
assistants will arrive here about one
week in advance of Mr.. Fife.
HIS WORK IN CAMDEN, ARK.
The last issue of the Beacon. pub
1ished at Camden, Ark, dated Satur-
day, October 18th, has this to say Of
the work done by the Drummer
Evangelist" in that city:
"One week ago Evangelist Fife
commenced his union services in our
city, assisted by the pastors of the
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and
Christian churches and their respect
i've f1ocks.
These meetings have increased in
attendance and power-until last
night, when they eliminated in an
over flowing audience and many con-
versions.
Never in the history of Camden
has there been time when the sub
ject of religion was upon the lips
of everybody, as it now is. Yes.
our thriving little city is certainly
being shaken as it never has been
before.
These meetings are being spiritual
ly conducted in the opera house 1.-THE
largest building in the city, daily. at
10 O'Clock a. m. ard 7:l5 p. m. Most
of the business houses close for these
services feature absolutely un-
known in the past history of Camden.
Also the schools close every morning
and attend en- masse lin one body
''Mr. Fife is plain, practical and
pungent-at times humorous, at 9TH
ers pathetic. But at no time is he
sensational OR coarse, habits too com
day evangelists. His knowledge of
the Bible, with memory to recall
passage after passage of scripture in
every discourse, is really remarkable.
His methods are sound and all he does
appeals to the common sense OF his
hearers. He is unlike most other
ministers we have heard. although he
certainly does not suffer by the COM
parison.
"a fine personal appearance, coupled
with a genial, magnetic disposition,
doubtless go a long way in making
Mr.. Fife the great success which he
has proven To be-and Camden will
certainly be the letter 10y the visit of
this earnest, gudly man
MIR. Fife announced last night that
the meetings would positively close
next Tuesday night, when he will
depart for Winston-Saiem, North
Carolina. where he will hold his next
meeting"

A Famine of Water.

The whole country is reported as
about dying out TIE cry from Dan
to Beershcba" is for water. From
Maine to Montana, from ocean to
ocean, from the Northern lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico the ground is dry like
powder, the streams are very low or
gone clean dry, and rain is the one
great general need, and prayer for it
is going up from those who believe in
prayer and have power with God. 1t
is not confined to North America.
Europe is suffering greatly also, and
perhaps other continents. Professor
Flamminion, the French astronomer,
says that no such drought has ever
occurred within 200 years. He at
tributes it's universality to the ap-
preaching comet. He says that before
such an event was followed in the
long ago by such result.
