modic collie. This is the fastest

We notice tha Father Stowe has
an article in the last Globe on "noisc
in Church and following in the
meeting house" We do not know
what prompted him to write such
an article but he offers some good
thoughts. We might add a few
words with reference to some
preachers whom we have known to
nearly raise the roof in their effort
to preach. Also by making hor-
rible gestures and prancing from
one side of the pulpit to the other.
We do not think that the Lord re-
quires any calisthenic performances
from any minister in his effort to
preach the gospel.
A company of Artesian Farmers
and alfalfa growers, consisting of
Messrs B. F. Leach, Frank Mars,
Will Sourbeer, Frank Sourbeer,
George Edwards, John Shaw, John
Jobling, E. ]. Rice, R. L. Sawyer,
Andor Ealison and George Allen
have purchased threshing outfit to
thresh their alfalfa. The outfit con-
sists of one of the latest J, c. Case
is horse power engines and Bird
sell Alfalfa Huller. 1t is fine out
fit and just what has been needed
in that country as threshers are
scarce and this is the only alfalfa
huller in the county. Claud Rag
land is manipulating the engine and
Hugh Trober the huller. Both are
experienced men at their respective
positions and there is no reason why
the machine will not do first class
work. They are at Andor Eliason's
this week and from there they will
. thresh for the other stockholders
as fast as they can reach them.

Times. At last they seem to have
agreed that the joints ought to go
Bro. Mcdowell, is county attorney
= and he says Ellis could give him al
/ the information necessary, if h,
E only would. Now, we have only
one suggestion to make. and that Is
that you fellows better do somethin,
or quit the "rag chewing" W.
