 ] We have before us set of resolutions } which are purported to have been passed 7 by the denizens of the finny tribe resident
 in Eagleville pond. Said resolutions pro- vide for precautionary measures to be
 taken when James Smith of South Will lington is known to be around. One clause reads: "We, the bass, pickerel, etc., will refrain from biting at any sinners, pork , rind, green frogs, tin fishes or rubber worms until said Smith withdraws hi presence from this vicinity" These res olutions may not be genuine; we do no vouch for them.
 Just word in relation to the articl,
 which appeared in this column last week ] in which the church situation was prett, thoroughly aired. We wish to say tha in this matter we have refrained iron 7 saying anything to embarrass those hay ing the matter in charge, but in view o l the fact that the matter has been givel publicity through the columns of Tn, 3 Press, we feel free to make few com 3 ments on the situation. As in all othe
 movements there are radicals and con
 servatives, all looking to the same end , One will ride rough shod over the convic tions of their opponents, the other will
 show more consideration, but will attaiI ! the same end without offense. Anothe
 similarity to greater movements is the de I velopment of the three parties to thu question: those who approve the change
 those who disapprove, and the don't-care either-wa y-is.a alright party. In our iten of last week, In reference to this matter
 we stated that the idea of 8 change in tn
 time of meeting would probably be givel
 up in deference to the wishes of some ol the Hill. It may be, and then again
 may not. In the little more than fou ! years that we have spent in South VII lington we have come to know it's inhabi
 tants ss the most generous and kindl 2 disposed set of people that we have eve
 met, and their worthy disposition ha been shown in various helpful ways to tn benefit of the church society, both her and on the Hill. And until recently n
 recognition has been asked for. The pro
 posed change is one that could work n hardship or injury to the church, bu
 would be of decided benefit to this par of the society. We meet in the hall sum
 mer and winter at 4. 30 p. m. In the sum r mer the sun beats on the tin roof directl ,, hot by late in the afternoon. This coul A be avoided by service in the forenoon
 In the winter 1t means an unnecessar
 lighting of the hall, and travelling to an . fro in the dark. We do not ask to hay these conditions reversed, but remedie in such @ manner that none should nee 7 to bear with such conditions. The write ' of the article referred to Is in error in re
 gard to time of meeting on the Hill, 1. ( ,, 4 p. m. It has not been suggested tha l. the services be held at that time, but a n 1.3O or 3 o'clock. In regard to numbe # of church attendants and the financial en- t of the question, our brother writer is col h rect beyond question. We have endeay .- ored to be moderate in our statement D and yield due respect to the few remain
