tnre of a religious war on the Wenas.
Rev. Scoles, the Seventh.day Adventist,
has been preaching his doctrine in that
neighborhood, which has found favor
with some OF the women but has caused
dissension in several families where the
regular wash day has been interrupted.
The men Of the community threaten tar
and feathers but the Rev. Scoles claims
that like the disciples of old he is sub
ject to abuse and persecution and will
take it like martyr. Certainly he is
large and powerful enough to take care

in il or not.

soon be numbered among our citizens.
