The Otero County Democrat
grows lurid this week because it
claims an attempt has been made
to bribe it, and that the offer came
direct from Mark Hammer. II pro-
tests that its valued honor is not
for sale at any price, but will be
traded to the populist for votes for

ave left Nome on the 28th of June
and l guess it was good thing we
did, or we may not have been able
to leave at all. There are fifty
cases of small pox in Nome, and
the town will probably have to be
quarantined. Typhoid fever is also
prevalent, and unless stringent
measures are taken at once there
will be a great deal of sickness and
death there. We have just finished
a boat and will 60 up Solomon

DrS. johnson and Armstrong Visit
The College.

Monday afternoon DR.. J. M. 7.
Johnson, pastor of the Delmar Ave.
Baptist church of st. Louis and DR..
Armstrong of the Central Baptist,
arrived in Macon over the Burling-
ton to visit the Western College.
They came representing the State
Board of our white Baptist breth-
rem. They were met by Rev. HE.
Truck, pastor of the First Baptist
church of this place and the presi-
dent of the College. After viewing
the magnificent building recently
dedicated by the First church peo-
pie, the distinguished visitors were
conducted to the College grounds
by Pres. Scruggs. When the Col
lege plant was reached, the breth
rem were shown through the build
ings, and about the grounds, and
furnished with desirable informa-
ton with reference to the method
of carrying on the work.
Having spent some time at the
College, they returned to the city
and early Tuesday morning, re-
sumed their journey to Kansas City
where they met the State Board of
the General ASS n of which they are
members.
DIR. Johnson and DR.. Armstrong
both expressed themselves as much
pleased with our College site, and
the possibility of planting here in
Macon 8 great seat of learning. We
were glad to have these brethren
visit our school, especially as they
are numbered among the most in
fuencial leaders of the white
Baptists. We are thankfUl for
the interest not only of Drs.
Armstrong and Johnson, but of
those whom they represent.

INDEPENDENCE, MO.
Dear Sisters: At our last meet
ing at Macon, Mo-, We, the Baptist
Women of the State, pledged our
selves to raise So 800 to erect a new
building at Macon for our girls.
The building is much needed, both
for appearance and comfort The
brethren are struggling with the
great debt of the school, and while
we must continue our regular con-
tribution toward that, we are striv-
ing to raise this money as an extra
effort. To do this we would like
to have 100 good workers send in
their names, agreeing to raise $25
each or as much as they can. l
have been appointed as Financial
agent and have had books printed
for this especial object and will
gladly forward one to an applicant.
Sisters let US rally to this effort and
build a monument for the Lord and
ourselves, at Macon. "My people
perish for lack of knowledge" F" The
brothers may help in this great
work also. Many have sent in their
names, but there is room for more.
You will have until Oct. 1st. 1900 to
raise the amount. Yours for Wes-
tern College.

straw. Solid character is not'ti1s
growth of a single day. 1t is~the
little victories that it US for coming
the great obstacles in life
There is but ore way to battle
with the adversitieS in'life-that is,
t. meet them heroically and over-
come them one by one.
We may become tired of the same
thing over and over, but life has
been defined as bundle ofrepeti-
tions. We should work steadily
and cheerfully, and as a result life.
will be brighter, our tasks easierto'
perform and finall7 better done.
God has given US reason to decide
what things in hfe are worth pur-
suing and the power to pursue them..
We should not thrust aside the
golden opportunities and lose the
blessings he meant for US to enjoy
There is always room at the top.
so we should strive to reach the
summit, and each victory won
makes US stronger for the next.
Always aim for the highest sta
ton in life, but he who achieves il
must ascend it step by step.
1t has been we'll said that the su'~
periOr man is the one who can do
superior things in superior man

excel.
To be successful, have a'purpose
and adhere to it. Many men fail

Little leaks sink great ships and
just SO wrong habit may wreck
some life which otherwise would
have been great.
In life we are the architects oS
own fate. Our destiny is to be
wrought by our own hands. Long
fellow has said:
In the worlds broad field of battle,
the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle,
Be hero in the strife.
If we keep this in mind must we
ever allow ourselves to be idle? /
say, we should unite self,reliance
and patience, increase our efforts
and never despair, until success 10
ours.

The toll at last is done;.

AN ESSAY.
Miss Lena Toney, of the Glass of 1900,
Writes Interestingly on Perseverance.

Some one has said IF at first
you don't succeed, try, try again. y
Such should be the motto of all
young men and women who desire
to become great.
Ask those who are great, and
note the reply. "We became so by
years of toll and struggle and never
ceasing patience. We term this
perseverance.
In most cases life is what we
make it, and if we do not use our
precious moments to the beet ad-
vantage it becomes a burden al
most unbearable.
Count that day lost whose low
descending sun views from thy
hand no worthy action done" " How
many of US spend fruitless days,
yes, even months, without realizing
it.
Time once lost can never be re-
claimed. We should never be COM
PEELED to say: 'Lost somewhere
between sunrise and sunset sixty
golden moments set with sixty dia-
mond seconds.
In order not to do this we should
strive never to be idle, not only in
action, but also in thought, for he
who is accompanied by noble
thoughts is never alone.
