Those Hazelton fellows who were invited to
attend the U. 8. Court at wichita managed to
give the U. s. Marshal and Wichita policemen
the clip and all got home without having to

Rev. Anthony from Leavenworth will try
his hand ON the Ha8elton sinners part OF this
week. He began Sunday, the 18th, and If he
finishes up the job in good shape will proba-
bly, be here several days. He ID our kind Of .
preacher as he will not take pay for his service.
County Superintendent Lake was here Fri
day and visited our schools, and while we did
not meet him after he visited the schools. we
are confident he found the Hazelton schools
right up near the front ranks OF the Barber
county schools. az we have some as-excellent
teachers as can be had anywhere.
1t has always been our disposition to SYM
pathixe with one in trouble and our sympathy
now goes out and takes IN Dick Mccoy. He
informed US one day last week that he was
over-Tun with visitoTs-only had 81 of his kin
there at one time, still he didn't appear to be
worried over it.
The Methodist brethren and sisters are get
ding up very interesting controversy over
who shall be their preacher next year. They
have now got to the petition stage Of the fight
and anyone who ever tried it knows how easy
ff is to get names to q petition. It is likely
that while this matter 10 pending they will let
us sinners go SCOTT free II the new man, An
fhony, doesn't catch US in his net.
Dan Edwards has bought couple Of BUSH
els Of Speltz for seed and has let US have Q
working interest in the deal-we do the work
and get half and as much more as is safe to
take; and as 1t 10 claimed that it never makes
aess than from 30 to 500 bushels per acre, We
are now taking orders for seed for next spring
and those applying first will stand chance
for first choice and If there 10 not enough to
70 round, Dan can wait for his share.
1t has been 80 long since we were bible
student that we are 10 some extent in the
dark as to just what is the proper thing tor
real good people to do. but from very faint
and doubtful recollection we stin have some
OF its teachings. We are inclined to believe
chat we were either given q wrong impression
OF its true meaning or II our good brethren
are now following its teaching. they have read
from new and perhaps different version
than the one we had, for there Is Q vast differ.
ence between what We were taught was right
and what some of them are now practicing,
still we would not like to Say which 10 right, %
we are not as well up In the bible as they are.
