A Convention OF Horse swappers.

"I have heard of all sorts OF queer
reunions, but there was one down in
Georgia the other day that was abso.
lutely unique" said 7. +. Cross OF
that state at the Raleigh. ut was
reun on Of horse swappers, and Jolly
gathering it was. There were fully
1000 delegates in attendance, and 1t
looked to outsiders as il big political
convention was in progress. Politics,
however, were strictly tabooed and
nothing went but horse talk. sOf
course the members fetched along from
one to dozen nags Of all sorts and
conditions, and the swapping OF beasts
was the main attraction during the re-
union. A constitution and bylaws
were adopted and committee ap-
pointed TO draw up n code Of ethics.
1t was thought the civilization OF the
age had reached 4 point where equine
exchanges should be conducted along
stricter lines OF honesty than had
hitherto characterized such transac-
tons. II was argued, and the senti-
ment was overwhelmingly commended.
that no man was fit to join in future
reunions who would try to put of on
another a horse whose vision had de-
parted or who was represented to be
sound when the facts were the other
way. There is no doubt in my mind
that from moral as well rs social
standpoint the meeting was a great
success. New York Tribune.

DAVE LANTER "COMES TO-"
And Tells a Queer story.

Last week, we gave report of
the mysterious disappearance, and
equally mysterious return. of Dave
Lanter from his home in Topeka.
Wednesdays Topeka State Journal
says Dave has regained full con-
seriousness, and remembers some of
the things that happened to him.
He remembers leaving home in the
morning, after breakfast. 1t was
yet dark, and he says he heard
steps behind him, but paid no at
tention to them. He remembers
that someone stepped up behind
him and "slugged" him. Tie re
members, later, of being in a dark
room, but has no idea of where it
was, and don't know who took him
there. He begged to be taken
home, but no heed was paid to his
entreaties. He remembers nothing
else up to the time of finding him
self at home. When he left home,
he weighed l75 pounds, but now
weighs only $50. Dave says he
don't know whether he was slugged
by parties bent on robbery, or by
enemies. His wife has watched
over him constantly since his re.
turn home.

Revival Service.

Next Sabbath morning, there
will begin series OF revival
meetings at the M. E. church
in this city. Rev. A. J. Coe
and wife, of Topeka, will assist
the pastor. A genuine heart
searching revival is Garnett's
greatest need. Nothing will so
lift us above present discourage
ments as a refreshing shower OF
divine grace. Let the faint
hearted remember the prophets
declaration: "Behold, the Lord
hand is not shortened that He
cannot save; neither is His ear
heavy that He cannot hear"
The coming of Jesus into the
world ought to mean something.
Let all lovers of God and hui
mainly pray that the song OF the
angels. "Peace on Earth; Good
Will to Men," may have a prac-
teal ful6llment in the hearts Of
our people. Nothing will SO re-
lieve the burdened and careworn.
Nothing can so inspire the dis
couraged. Nothing can SO eff
fectively turn the hearts OF our
young people from the path
lined with pitfalls and beset
With danger as the regenerating
power of divine grace.
We sincerely ask all lovers of
God and humanity to pray and
work for an old-time revival.
