ready to receive its potency With this under
standing comes the power of the nervous or
ganization to sense the subtle forces of God in
all, and all in God.
'"The things do, we shall do, and greater
things shall we do.'
The old heaven and the old earth are being
rolled away like scroll. The new heaven and
the new earth are being unfolded to our vision,

the grudging favor of man, freed from degra-

more loving, brave and true, more tenderly sym
pathetic and consecrated in purpose than ever

is here, potent verify, to exercise her God-as-
signed mission to enter into mems souls, and
sow the seed of ever-hgher aspiration, ever
nobler effort, ever-grander achievement, that
thus, through patience and love, not pleading
and suffering, the race may be brought to
harmony and completeness.
"This is the hope we waited for,
When courage else had died.

The world hath hungered long!

the special election, it will be necessary to en-.
large and overhaul the present county building.
An addition of 80 or 40 feet must be built at
the rear of the old building; the front must be
overhauled and the walls strengthened. The
fact is, the old building is unsafe, and has been
for years. Besides the changes mentioned,
large, strong vault must be built for the preserv-
alton and safekeeping of the official records,
titles to property, etc. Every property-owner
is interested in this. These improvements will
be expensive, but they are necessary. Would
it not be much better, then, to sell the old trap
called court house, and buy the large, COM
modious Mellen building, which will need but
little overbauling, compared with the old build
ing? The Mellen block, besides being large,
is strong, well built and good-looking. The OPP
posers of the proposition are circulating many
false reports, even going so far as to say the
election had been "called off," Our advice is,
pay no attention to any of their reports, but
come to Garrett, examine the two buildings,
count the cost, and you will vote for the prop

THE Worlds w. c. T. U. convention OPEN
ed in London, June 10Th. The address by
President Frances E. Willard was one of the
best efforts of her life. Speaking of "poverty
and drink" she says
'"There are millions of men and women in
Great Britain and America who would gladly
work. but the pitiless, restraining hand of in
vention and monopoly hold them back so that
an opportunity to earn their bread by the sweat
of the brow is already fought for as strenuously
as men in old times fought for their lives. Pow
erty is, perhaps, the chief procuring cause of
the brutal drinking habit with which whole
areas of population are sodden throughout the
English-speaking world. In view of these
facts, it is more than short-sighted folly-it is
objectionable stubbornness, not to say criminal
apathy, in us as temperance workers, II we do
not clasp hands of intelligent, earnest sympa-
thy with the wage-worker and the unemployed.
We must lengten our cords and strengthen Our
stakes until they reach so far over into the
camp of our bread-earning brethren that ours
shall be for evernore two camps allied in thought
and purpose to bring in the better day."
Speaking of "illegitimate Children" Miss
Willard said:
"Another phrase that we must chase out OF
the dictionary of common speech with scourge
of small cords is the phrase an lllegitlmate
child. No such child was ever born Every
child that has appeared on this sphere came
here in the direct line of those natural laws
which are laws of God, and are perfectly legit-
innate. even dare to hope that the mother OF
one of these poor little waits, as we are wont to
call them, is made, in some sacred sense, legit-
innate by the awful sacrament of pain and
shame that she endures. The only illegitimate
factor in the problem is the father, who braves
neither physical suffering nor legal penalty,
who is pillowed in peace and comfort while
she who, by the laws of nature and of God,
should, in this hour of her undesirable need,
have been surrounded by His love and sentineled
by His protection, is left in the night OF her
agony, with no eye to pity and no arm to save.

COURT HOUSE REMOVAL.

Below, we present a card from Dr. Henning
relative to the courthouse proposition, which
we want every voter in the county to read and
study carefully:
1.-THE county commissioners have ordered
special election to be held July 10th, asking
permission to sell the court house for sc, 900,
and to purchase the Melen block for $4,000.
1.-THE ceurt house is too small and unsafe to
do the county business in, and must have more
room, while the Mellen block is amply large
for all the county officers, being over $4,000
SQUARE feet floor room. The 81 900 would put
1t in fair shape for all county purposes, for even
ihoney. This building would answer very well
for 2 wears. The county cannot build $780,
900 court house, as it is too much in debt now,
keeping taxes too high. Taxpayers now have
to pay over $28, 900 interest every year, and not
dollar of debt paid.
"The bonded indebtedness of the county is

"Now then, the taxpayers have to pay not
only the interest--about S28 ,ooo-but part of
the principal, every year. This keeps the tax
high:

The fight for the nomination for sheriff was
lively, and it took about twenty ballots to NOM

F. Dellnger were the strongest of the many
candidates, and it was "nip and tuck" between
them for some time. Dan Moore's friends stuck
to him and fought manfully for quite while,
but, unfortunately for him, it was announced in
the beginning that he is strict temperance
man, and he was Immediately marked for defeat.
Another unfortunate feature in his case was the
fact that he was an old soldier and has splen-
