TO the MINING JOURNAL.
| desire to say "A few words through
your valuable paper i'll favor of Henry
Fisher, candidate for the Sheriffalty
of Allegany county.
Mr. Fisher has been an officer of the
corporation for three years and, to my
certain knowledge during his incum-
bency, has always performed the
functions of the Office fearl9Ssly, honest
ly and justly. His record has been
eqnaled by few and surpassed by none.
1t would be to the interest of voters
of Districts Nos IL, II and 26, to give
him unanimous support, rs | am sure

pleasing to his supporters and salts

Several gentlemen, speaking recently
of the reasons why the wages of mining

stated that "the increased cost of living

This induced me to make search in

Attention,

1t is believed by many that voters of
bottle pDrties should keep in mind the
duty they owe themselves in the matter
of lowering the current high rate of tax
alton.
1t has been shown the JOURNAL that
in Washington county the rate is 81
cents; in Allegany $l.23-a difference
sufficient to start inquiry as to causes.
The JOURNAL has just enough time
and space left to urge voters not to for
get this very important matter.

did so in a very happy manner. He
referred to the remarks that were
made by Mr.. Coursey, Mr.. Jomlin

in touching on DR.. Grabam's refer
ence he said that it had been his de-
sire that if he was to be removed
from Huron by the Conference he
would esteem it a great privilege to
come TO Mitchell, as he knew of no
other town in the state where he
would rather 60. He appreciated the
fact that the college was located here
and that it was a great pleasure to
him to have the opportunity to ad-
dress himself to the young ladies and
gentlemen in attendance at the in
stltutiOn, and that he realized fully
the great demands that would be
made on his resources to assist these
young people in their future lives.
He expressed his great pleasure at the
hearty welcome he bad received at
the hands of the people of Mitchell,
both in bis personal greetings in the
city and from the public gathering.
During the addresses some vocal
music was rendered by Fred kratz
and Miss Merle Tillotson. Prof. j.
L. Lardner recited a selection and re-
spOnled to All encore.
The occasion was a most happy n
throughout and the bringing of the
church people and others in this man
ner will result in a stronger feeling
for the work in hand.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD
Baptist Church Celebrated Its Tweu.
ty-SecOnd anniversary Tues
day afternoon.

1t vas a notable gathering at the
baptist church Tuesday afternoon
and evening, the occasion being the
celebration OF the twenty second an
niversary of the foundation of the
church. Circulars were sent early
in the month to all persons who were
or ever had been connected with the
membership Of the church asking
them to respond to the roll call either
in person OF with a letter, and in any
event With a thank Offering. The
services were held in the afternoon
and the roll call was the first order
Of business, which occupied the af-
ternoOn and part Of the evening.
Those who were present responded to
their name as Clerk Broadbent called
them forth, and in a great many in
stances the absent members sent let
tiers that were read, and which
brought cheer to the hearts of the
present members.
At 6 o'clock a New England supper
was served in the lecture room Of the
church and about 20 partook of the
bountiful meal which had been pre-
pared by the lady members OF the
church.
In the evening a prayer and song
service was held and this was fol-
lowed by reading the obituaries of
the persons who had passed away as
members of the church. The paper
was prepared by Mrs. Clara A. Lux
ems. In the % years of the organiza-
ton of the church twenty-three mem
bers have died, d little more than an
average of one a year. Deacon B.
Morse gave an interesting historical
sketch Of the church since its day Of
foundation. The society was found
ed Nov. II, 1881. by Rev. Mr.. Kauff-
man. a missionary, who was working
in the west under the direction Of
the mission board. the first meeting
being held in school houses. until
the present editice was erected along
in 1889. The first pastor was Rev. S.
j. Vinegar now Of Chicago. and who
sent a telegram Of greetings to the
church that was read at the evening
service. The Test are as follows :
Kew. Mr.. R%eardon, Rev. w. H.
Teal. Rev. Mr.. Mcconnell, Rev Fl.
II. Gunderson, Rev. A. C. Steuer-
magic, Rev. Fred 7. Drewett, and
Rev. It. J. Giblett, the present pas
tor, making eight pastors who have
served the church. Even though
there have been that many changes
Deacon Morse said that the services
Of the church have never been en-
tirely discontinued while waiting to
secure a new pastor. During the
twenty-five years he said that 226
members had been taken in by bap-
tism, 1870 by letter and 81 by expert
ence. The total membership Of the

The thank. offering ."during the day
and evening amounted to SITS. This
sun will be used IS d nucleus for. the
erection of a parsonage at some time
in the near future. The church is
badly in need Of a home for its pastor
and the members are going to work
to erect one.
John W. Broadbent gave a brief
talk on How the Church Can Help
the Sunday School, in which he said
that the members of the church
could be of great assistance in build
ing up this branch by attending the
sessions which would be an .inspira-
ton for the scholars and a help to
the teachers. Miss Marie Quigley
spoke on How the Church Can Help
the Young People. She said that the
Young people could arouse the inter-
est OF the Older people by doing things
that would interest them in quelling
and thus keep up a strong interest in
the work Of the church. Her paper
was very entertaining. Mrs. NJ. A.
Reeves spoke on the work Of the
Ladies Aid Society, and of what help
1t was to the church. Mrs. c.. W.
ellis spoke on the mission work,
and suggested the need Of more in-
tefest and more members in the work
to support the society in what it was
trying to accomplish. Deacon Morse
referred to the assistance the church
could give in the matter of conduct
ing the business in the way Of max
ing it possible to raise the financial
obligations that are due from time
to time
The day was a very successful one
all through, and the members felt
all the better for their coming to-
gether. Pastor Giblett presided over
the sessions during the day and eve
ming.
