Perhaps through inadvertance
one committees has been overlooked,
hut 1t may be in contemplation, one
oman agricultural fair to be held next
full Now is the time to agitate the
matter so that farmers and other
iossible exhibitors may be making
preparations. There is no reason
why Pike county should not have one
now that grounds and ample accom-
modations will be provided. II
night not be very pretentious af.
mir the first season but it would be
place where those having products
o sell could bring them to exhibit
Ind would be an excellent adver-
risement Strangers attend fairs
md they bring the people IN touch
with the outside world needing the
products of the farm. We trust
this matter will be given proper at
tention and prominence by the Di-
rectors and the first opportunity of
their lives afforded people of this
county to meet and exhibit their
products on their own soil. II
should be an incentive to farmers
and awaken in them, as it no doubt
would, a new zeal in their profess
SION.

STOP PULPIT ADVERTISING.

"The reading of secular notices
from the pulpit is a jar to the services
and is exceedingly Objectionable to "a
large number Of peDple,n writes Ed
ward Box in the March Ladies' Home
Journal. "These folk rightly feel
that secular matters should be kept
as far removed from the Sabbath SER
vices as possible And they are per-
fectly justified in taking that posi-
tion. 1t is a bit disturbing when II
minister announces that fair will be
held on such or such a day or that a
strawberry festival has been arranged
for certain evening. All our
churches cannot abolish pulpit an
nouncements too soon. Many of them
have done 80 already. They have
never had a place there; they are not
in keeping with the dignity Of the
pulpit OF course, where church is
absolutely too limited i'm its finances
to have the modest sort Of leaflet
printed there is some reason for the
continuance Of the method, but when
ever it is possible the pastors of our
churches should be- allowed to adopt
the circular plan. The minister
should not be turned into an adver-
tising medium under any preteXt
whatever, nor should the pulpit be
dragged from its high place and its
lofty purpose. 1t is not bulletin
board.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. d. G., April Is, 1901
President Mckinley has conferred
with q numher of Senators and Rep
resentatives on the back and forth
action of the Cuban Constitutional
Convention on the conditions offer
ed Cuba, and it4 decidinp tN send a
Commission to Washingt IN. The
President will courteOusly receive
the Commission, hut will make it
plain to them that the conditions
offered are final ard that they must
be accepted sooner or later. The
opinion of the President and thoie
with whom lie has conferred. in
Guiding Democrats as we'll as Re
pnblicaus, was reflected in the fol-
lowing statement made by Senator
McComas, just after having talk
with the Presidents "The Cuhuns
are simply standing IN their own
light by not accepting the terms of
the Platt amendment Thisamend.
meDt was necessary, just and ulti-
mate. We cannot change a single
one of the provisions Vt the amend
ment in justice to the Cubans them
selves, not taking into consideration
our own interests. Each provision
is a prop for future republic. If a
committee comes up hero from the
Cuban Constitutional Convention, |
think they will find that out They
certainly cannot accomplish any
thing in the way of modification to
the Platt amendment. They will
learn what they uugh. to know now
that the President has no power to
repeal or modify an Act of Congress.
They are to be treated all right
when they visit Washington, hut ]
believe they will go back home with

Rev. Sam Small in his lecture at
Stamford said that the devil fertilized
the graees which furnished Noah
wine, with a concoctlon of the blood
Of the sheep, monkey, lion and hog.
Ever since then there has been four
degrees to be taken in the drunkard's
fraternity. The sheep degree, simply
drinking little for sociability, the
monkey degree, when man grows
hilarious and funny, the lion degree
when he bec0mes abusive aud per
haps a murderer, and the hog degree
when he is pitched out into the gut
ter.
