nv with Mr.. Chas. L. Mcdonald,
made a most pleasant trip down to
Cane River church last Tuesday
evening, attending the night SER
vice of the protracted meeting be-

The subject was one Of vast I'M
portance to all unbelievers : "Sal-
vation, and how to possess it,
which was presented in that plain,
forcible and most interesting style,
so characteristic of Bro. Tomp-
kie's sermons.

The people, by the election OF
Mckinley, were fooled again. They
thought they were voting for new
policies: but they find that what
they got is simply new men. The
same old infamous gold policy still
continues. We venture the state

secured by the people until they
vote for real reform-frec coin

ervedly pledged in favor of it.
