spending a few weeks, he will leave
for California to remain a couple of

local. 1t frequently happens tina there

not sufficient to lay the dust. On the
JULIET ndDu, SOulA Vi hSHCy bAO A4Ao4

On Marble Creek and the lower end of
the county more rain fell in a given
time than for years past.

upon. Bids for the construction of the
road will be advertised for about July

| the pastor, in which he brought out
clearly the thought that the study of

| Miss Cameron, of St. Louis, gave a

impresses every one with her deep,
strong convictions, and spoke feelingly
of the joy of supporting a worker; a
Bible reader in some foreign field, to
carry on our work for the Master
while We sleep. The ringing words
of, "Why stand ye here idlee" as sung
