Muck" Nethkin, who toured in
the South, Southwest and West dur
ing the past three months, returned
to his home in Oakland a day or two
ago. He met with varied experiences
during his travels, worked with Mex
lean "greasers'' and Cinnamon, at rail
road construction and in the immense
fruit orchards of California where all
one would have to do at night was
to wrap himself in a blanket, fall
down on sand and say I'm in bed
His next trip will be to England and
other Europe countries.
Owing to the prevalence of scarlet
fever at Terra Alta, a quarantine has
been esta blisbed in the town closing
the schools and churches. The series
of meeting being held there last week
by Rev. Miller and an evangelist, was
terminated on Friday night. Sunday
DR.. Ward, presiding elder, was to
have held a quarterly meeting but
the quarantine prevented. Business
men are very much worked up over
the state Of affairs prevailing as they
anticipate that it will ruin their Christ
mas trade.
