night about ll:3O O'Clock by the
explosion of the boiler on the G. 4

dressed beef were piled up most
any where and any way around.
There were five men on the engine
one killed and the other four so
badly cut, bruised and scalded we
think their chances are very slim.

The greatest sensation for man, !
years to the quiet inhabitants o
our little town was the explosion
of n boiler on the G.. & A. railroad
just east of town just after mi l.
night last Sunday morning. The
explosion shook the buildings like
an earthquake. We arrived at
the wreck soon after it occurred,
found one man killed and three
others apparently in dying con

In our ramblings last week we
stopped near Mt. Olivet Presbyte-

Morpheus was doing the preach

have listened to for years. Fear
lessly breaches the gospel of Christ.
He doesn't stop to interpret any
different meaning of the Holy
Scriptures but takes Christ at his
word, pure and unadulterated.
Altho we could see no move among
the people toward accepting Christ
yet we feel that his effort to arouse
them will not be in vain. God
will bless the work of such earn
est, devoted men as Bro Nor
pheus.

Our Prosperity.

While the Republicans are flood
ing the country with figures on
prosperity, it might be well to in
quire who the prosperous are.
The steel trust is making money
at the rate of $40, 100000 year.
That's prosperity with a ven
geance. A number Of other of
these harmless (Otrusts are piling
millions in like manner.
But let's see about the other
fellow. If you should want to
build street railway you must
pay the steel trust 1913 for the
kind of steel that that organiza-
ton ships to England and sells
there for 1923 per ton. Does that
make the buyer prosperousf
Last May, and at the present
time, the laboring man had to pay
20 cents for a pound of the same
kind of beef that the beef trust
ships to London and sells there
