Trust which shows that itis gigantic industry and that it counts it's millions of dollars as readily as ordinary people count their pennies. The report shows that the gross sales and earnings amounted to s56O, 1000, 900: that there were 6O,OOO shareholders and that about 16s, 900 people were employed. The net earnings were S133, ,OO0, ,OOO and after the interest, dividends and other charges had been paid there was surplus of $34, 100000. Sixteen million tons of iron ore, 9,O00,OOO tons of coke, S,OOO,OO tons of pig iron, nearly 10,O00,- GOO tons of steel ingots and manu- factured articles amounting to S,OOO,- 900 tons were produced. It is evident that the Steel Trust is great industry and that we are in an age of most stupendous enterprises. And the question is, what next?

 Views the millennium must be

He asserted in an address given before the Epworth League of a Methodist church in Chicago. that the modern Jew regards Jesus Gas one of the noblest spiritual teachers that ever appeared in the world." The climax to the address of Dr liirsch came in these words, eff Jesus Christ were to come to earth to- tday every one of our more liberal Jews would Say, I1osanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cOmeth in the name of the LOrd.'" The recog- milton of Christ as the Messiah by the Jews is long step in the conquest of the world by Christianity.

the earnestness of a Give Lannom,
the grace of a Lexie Park, the po-
liteness of a Jim Brice and the
grac1ousness of Jim Chiles, said,
"Gentlemen, in the name of Andrew
Jackson Lawson, tte honorable
Judge of the county court of Obion
county, | command the peace.
Now, those angoras looked at me and
then at each other and seemed to
take in the situation, but did not
say a word, Just sidled off in differ
ent directions, which was convincing
proof to me that had gained a vic
tory. l then lowered my stick and
declared martial law in force on the
Selmo Harris farm. But | noticed
one of those old billies eyeing me
like he was about to recognize me,
but seemed to submit and perfectly
willing to abide by the law. So l
threw down my stick and hurried
on to catch up with the wagon, but
did not get far when one of my lit
tie Johns cr4ed out 'look out there
papa" | looked around and behold
here came that old angora with his
wool all turned topsy turvy, wrong
end foremost with all the speed and
power of two-hundred ton mogul
locomotive and looked so awful that
we had kind of presentiment that
there was more room over in anoth-
er field some one hundred yards
away, and you ought to have seen
John Barleycorn run. And; as we
ran we heard one of our little Johns
say 'run, big fraid or little fraid
will catch you" And when our
wind was almost gone we glanced
back over our shoulder and made
the discovery that the angora was
rapidly gaining on the anglo-saxon,
and his neck was bowed just right
to make difficult and delicate land
ing. But Joe, our old coon dog,
seeing the predicament we were
getting into, ran up and nabbed old
billy just in time to prevent rear
end collision, and as old billy wheel
ed to fight more interesting enc
my John Barleycorm hit the fence,
which was just waist high, and
with so much force that we turned
heels over appetite into the other
field and lay there painting and al
most exhausted, when our little
John came up laughing and singing,
"I'll Meet You When the Sun Goes
Down," and said Papa, l didn't
know you could run so fast" just
like something funny had happened,
but it wasn't very funny to me and
l said, "you can meet him when the
sun goes down if you want to but
if ever we meet again II will take a
scientific expert to tell whether he
met me or caught up with me-"
Next day l was in town and heard
folks talking about the earthquake
the day before and what time 1t
occurred, and we did not let on but
we knew what caused that earth
quake, for it happened just at the
very time we struck that fence.
Now, if we ever get elected to the
we will introduce bill
to have Selmo's billy goat to butt
every man in every county in this
State who does not take the county
paper and to butt every one twice
who does not settle up at least once

CONFERENCE.

Fulton, Ky, Nov. 10y esterday
was what Methodist call a "high
day in Zion" all the pulpits in the
city being filled by Methodists min
listers IN attendance on the confer
ence Bishop Hoss preached at IL
a. m. in the Methodist church, Dr.
Mahon at 3 p. m. and DR.. Thomp-
son at night. The bishop ordained
a large class of elders and rather
small class of deacons during the
day by the laying on OF hands and
prayer"
This morning by 7:30 o'clock the
Methodist church was packed al
most to suffocation by conference
members and visiting friends. Com
mittee on publishing interests
showed that $4,000 have been in
vested in enterprising new pub
fishing house in Dallas, Texas,
$57, 900 have been spent in SIMILAR
manner IN China, while great
amounts have been invested along
other lines. A long report from
the Joint board of finance was made
and the distribution of a large sum
of money was ordered made by
check. The superannuate preach
ers, their wives and children are
benefcaries, and received a cash
disbursement of something over
$4,000.
STRONG TEMPERANCE REPORT.
The committee on temperance
presented strong cogent paper
through Judge Mcfarland, in which
the general whiskey business was
luminously reviewed. The report
made profound impression on the
conference and was adopted by an
enthusiastic vote. Judge McFar-
land and Mr.. Maxwell were nomi.
mated and elected delegates to the
national anti-saloon league to meet
in Washington City in December.
Epworth League board made it's re-
port through it's president, Mr..
Klein, recommending the establish
ing of league institute to be con-
Quoted annually for instruction in
methods. The Epworth League
paper, the Epworth Era, was high
ly commended. The board of edit
cation made report, showing fine
among the several acad-
mics of Memphis conference.
The board of missions made re
port and announced it's assessments
and appointments for the incoming
year. The report showed an ln-
crease of mission moneys raised of
about $4,000. It is this amount in
advance over any record that has
ever been made by the conference.
1t was recommended and prayed by
the board that Bishop Hoss appoint
Rev. W. K. Piner as missionary
secretary for the Memphis confer
ence. 1t also proposed to hold
a mid-year missionary conference at
some central point within the con-
terence territory.
Committee on the spiritual con-
lition of the church reported and
offered structures on worldly amuse-
nents, such as dancing, theatre-go-
ng, etc. Committee on the Sab
path observance made report, en-
ohasizing the necessary sanctity

when d Lidu lives III llC past, Aot
much of our time is spent in fond
recollections of scenes and friends
and faces of other days. That re-
minds me of a joke. Mr.. Trotter
was preparing to go to Waverly one
time and l told him to be sure to
bring my license, that | was going
to get married. He went to the
county clerk and got blank and
filled it out himself for me and a
girl he knew did not want to mar
ry and had me awfully bothered,
and Lellie's mother was as badly
bothered as | was and advised me
to jump the contract. | lay awake
nearly all night studying how to
get out of the trouble, and fully de-
cided to take them back myself, but
how to keep people from finding it
out was the greatest bother. How
ever, Mr.. Trotter saved me that
trouble by calling my attention to
the absence of the clerks seal.
A young lady of this vicinity once
visited the family of Col. Field and
through mistake, taking it to be
her own, harnessed up three-year
old mule that had never had bride
or collar on and drove it home,
distance of two miles, and her ia
ther hitched it to a wagon and
started to Rives when there came
runner hunting tor the wreck and
informed the young lady of what
she had done and that her mule
was over at Fields house, but none
of them had made the discovery.
That same young lady is now clerk
ing for J. G. Gardner and we would
not be surprised at any time to
hear of her delivering dry goods
and notions all over the lake hills,
with ]. G. Gardner and Peter Keffer
harnessed up 10 two-horse buggy,
for she has the necessary pluck and
energy.
We had the pleasure OF gratifying
our appetite at the home of that
prince of good fellows, John d. E.
Boaz one day last week and we had
apple butter besides many other
good things we were not used to at
home. John's better half knows
just how to tickle a countryman's
appetite.
We have been gathering cora
again. We bought an undivided
interest in twenty acres of corn
down on the A. Harris farm, near
Rives, and in hauling it out last
week we noticed one morning two
of Selno Langora goats fighting
away out in the pasture, aud after
hauling two loads they were still at
it and had become all bloody about
their heads and necks. so we gath
cred one more load and thought
they had fought long enough and

you had better part them, for if you
don't they will kill each other. So
! told the boys to go on down to the
gate and | would go out there and

stick and walked out to where they
were. Now, the angora and anglo
saxon don't have much to do with
each other. The latter kinder
thinks himself better than the an
CORA and there seems to be but lit
tie love existing between the two,
except when the angora has been
barbecued. So when l walked up l

we have seen in any other part of

matter of a very short time until
you will hear the cry going up from
Obion county for help to control and
rid'our country of the Western curse,
aud we believe the next Legislature
should pass a law and make it
finable offense for a man to allow
one to go to seed on his premises.
1t has proven one of the greatest
curses to Western agriculture, and
as it becomes more adapted to this
soil and climate it will also become
a greater pest. | also noticed that
the same neighborhood had one of

A Judge and a Judge Only.

Chief Justice Pope for refusing bail
to j. III. Tillman deserves neither praise
nor blame. Had he granted the bail he
would have been entitled to the pre-
sumption on the part Of the public that
he did his duty as he saw it. Refer
ences to Justice Pope's election to the
supreme bench are unfair to him. A
judge who cannot rise above political
leanings in a decision is unfit
to be a judge A judge has no
political leanings. When he takes his
place on the bench he strips his mind
OF political bias and, hearing the law
and the evidence, delivers his opinion
as one apart and removed from interest
N the case. In this recent decision one
may think that the Chief Justice was
right or wrong as one chooses but we
believe that he viewed the case with
that impart,ality hat would have pre-.
vailed III tho mind os New York Or
Oregon or English judge called to con-
slider 1t without having heard of the
parties interested. To say less OF any
judge, in the absence of evidence that
he was corrupted or intimidated, would
be to grossly and cruelty SANDER him.
And Justice Pope Is the very head OF
our Judicial system. Judges are hui
man aud fallible. Justice Pope may or
may not have erred in this case; the
law Of bail is vel! established and
clearly understood; therefore to init
mate that the Chief Justice was guided
by else than his construction of the
state constitutions language Is to i'm
pute decay to our judicial system. JUS
tice Pope in his private life is one of
the gentlest of gentle-hearted men. On
the bench he is a judge aud a Judge
only; nobody's friend and nobody's en-
envy.
