How to Hurt Your Own Town.
An InfallibIe Method.

An enterprising citizen of this place
hands us these notes for publication.
Ponder them we'll they contain good
lot of advice:
Begin by thinking that every place is
better TO live in than this.
Preach that the times are harder here
than in any other town in the state.
Disagree with every person who makes
an effort to project some plan for the
good of your town and produce more
business.
Find fault with every thing and every
body
Be chronic kicker.
Patronize stores at distance rather
than those in your own town.
If any of our merchants or other cit
izens get along well and make little
money get jealous, call them beats, and
scoundrels.
Buy stuff from every peddler who
comes TO town.
If you have enough to live on don't
help your neighbor, no matter how
sick he is, keep your money you may be
poor some day.
If your neighbor's lawn looks nicer
than yours leave your COW united and
your barn door open on rainy night,
you will get even with him.
Don't help your local paper, they don't
need it. Call on them when you want
a free puff. If you have any printing to
do use a rubber stamp or send out Of
town for it. Don't subscribe for the
paper but borrow your neighbors.
If all these are closely followed your
town will be a dead failure sure.

Americas Share in the Cublan
Shame.
During the forty years that have since
elapsed all the interested powers have
recognized expressly or implicitly the
position that was then publicly assumed
by our government So, however uu-
pleasant it may be, we must admit that
when the consular representatives of
France and of England in Cuba say, as
| have heard many of them say, III com
menting upon the unparalleled horrors
of the situation, that the government
and people of our country are directly
responsible for all the bloody crimes
that are committed in the name Of war
fare, they are right. / believe that our
share of responsibility for all this blood
guiltness is heavy one. We have an
rounced our peculiar rights as to Cuba !;
we have said to other nations that they
must keep their hands off we block the
way and stop all interference and assist
Spain the while to encompass her ends
and by the activity of our fleet and the
exertions of our federal officers. rs.-From

Free Methodist Holiness Conven-
ton.

Sunday night one of the best conven-
tions ever held III Alma by the Free
Methodist denomination was closed
The meetings opened "Wednesday night
and continued until Sunday night.
Papers and addresses were presented
on the various lines of the church work
and many seasons of soul refreshing
prayer We're held.
Rev. ii. +. Gaffin the presiding elder
of the Ionia district presided over the
meetings.
Among the distinguished personages
present was Rev w. f. Hoag of Chica-
go, editor of the national church organ,
"The Free Methodist" and also presi-
dent of the Greenville, Illinois, College.
Rev. Mr.. Hoag was in many respects
the life of the convention as his speeches
and talks We're interesting and inspir-
ing. His address on Friday night in
which he pleaded for broader Christian
| fellowship and condemned the stiff con-
| servatism of some classes, was especially
good
Another who added no little enthus-
iasm and vigor to the work was Rev
O. l.. Olmstead president of Spring
Harbor College. The attendance at al
the meetings was large, many being
turned away from some of the evening
services.
There We're present from surrounding
places about 100 persons and tN enty-fiv'
local ministers while the interest mani
tested by those in attendance was very
encouraging. Through the kindness
and benevolence of those present anC
our citizens the debt on the Alma church
amounting to $4,000 was entirely
wiped out. The church is thus open t(
wider channels of usefulness
