vanced considerably since this commodity has been
gobbled up by trust. At present newspaper men
have submitted to this open robbery with merely a
passing grunt Of disapproval. But just as soon as
their subscribers begin to dwindle away account
of an increased subscription price, they will march
boldly to the firing line and swat these monsters
hard they will surmise that lydite shell struck their
communicating carcass. If the press opens
upon these green-eyed. poverty making souldestroy
ing and corrupters of legislative and judicial courts
their menacing power for evil will be of short dura
ton Will they do it? Or will they sacrifice their
manhood by silently submitting to such outrages?

The Meeting at Dalton.

Rev. w. 0. Rutherford, the Meth
odist pastor on the Dalton circuit, was
in town Tuesday and from him we
learned the fattering particulars con-
cerning the revival meeting recently
held at Dalton. The young pastor
was assisted in the meeting by T. J.
Shearon of Moberly, an elder in the
c. P. church, who Is a godly man, and
while he is not an ordained minister
he has an earnest, sincere way of pre-
senting gospel truths that draw men
and women to Christ.
There were 81 persons who pro-
fessed religion during the meetings
nearly all of whom were adults, some,
indeed, gray-headed men. OF this
number 20 united with the Methodist
church, and possibly there will be
others. The remainder will be divid-
ed between other churches. We
were not authorized by Rev. Ruther-
ford to speak of the item which fol-
lows, but 1t is a good item and we
will take the responsibility of mention
ing it;
One of the converts had ac-
quired the liquor habit and said he
was arranging to come to Keytesville
and be treated for It, put since his
conversion he felt he did not need
that sort Of remedy as he had been
cured without it.
