Assures the Establishment of

The commercial progress OF Vi
nita daring the past year is strIk-
inely evidenced in the post office
receipts, that show an increase OF
approximately S2.250 over last
year. This remarkable increase is
attributable not only to the exten.
sion OF the trade relations OF the
home merchants, but can also be
traced in a measure. to an increas-
ed population.
Numerous families have taken

PRESBYTERIAN REVISION.
Statement by the Committee of the
Presbyterian Assembly.

Washington, December 1.-Two ses-
sions were held today of the revision
committee Of the general presbyterian
assembly. A statement issued by the
committee says:
1.-The committee is making progress,
but it is evident hat in discussing the
great questions before it, progress must
be slow and nothing final can 81 arriv-
ed at for a week or more. When such
themes as God and the Trinity, revela-
ton and creation. and statements that
will be satisfactory to the church are
to be prepared it is obvious that both
care and time must be required. 1t
can be said that throughout, the dis
cussions have been most harmonious
and the committee is animated by the
n purpose Of preparing a form that
will be at ono true and satisfactory to
the church."
