nit the killing Of robins during the sea-

claim that they are heavy losers hy reason
of eRs destruction wrought BY these birds.

an open season for killing robins in the fall,
and give the farmers boys chance to try
their skill killing them

Of This City Elects
Officers.

At the regular annual meeting
of the Christian church Wednes-
day evening, January Z, reports
were submitted from the different
departments of church work which
showed the church to be in a pros
porous condition and the result of
the work during the year just clos
ing is, in many respects, most
gratifying. While there have
been so additions to the church
during the year, there have been
so many dismissals, principally on
account of members moving from
the city and taking their member
ship with them, that the net in
crease was only seven. The pres
ent membership, as shcwn by the
report of the church clerk, is 676.

ports shows the amount OF money
raised during the year from differ
ent sources as follows:
