BIG DEBATE.
Two Preachers VIII Talk at
Each Other.

Wellsville, Mo-, Aug. 1.-Ec-
clesias teal thundcrs are to roll at
Middletown tomorrow, and the
next day, and the three following
days, as two of the best-versed
ministers of Missouri debate upon
the tenets of their respective faiths.
The champions of the oratorical
battle are to be The Rev. j. R.Pat-
ton of the Cumberland Presbyte-
riau church, and Elder j. Il. Lock
hart of the Christian church. Fun
dam rental differences in dogma and
theology of the faiths of the re-
spective ministers are to be the
foundations of the arguments.
The working of the Holy
Spirit, " infant baptism, " faith
and repentance, "sprinkling and
immersion" are the bulwarks
about W hich the flow of words will
surge.
The theological champions have
chosen their seconds, who will act
as mOderators, the one from the
, Christian church having the Rev.
Simpson Eli, a former candidate
on the Prohibition ticket for Lieu
tenant Governor and the one from
the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, the Rev. Alonzo Pearson
of Louisiana.
The final arbiter of all questions
of parliamentary law and dispute
will be Judge Isaac w. BoulwarC
of Fulton, Mo. Mr., Boulware is
{ a member of no church, and the
/ participants are confident that see
tartan loyalty can in no way infiu-
r ence any decision he may make. ID
is 20 years old and one of thu
S most prominent lawyers of Contra
s Missouri.

ries of religious discussions tina

A few years ago the United
States Fish Commission was be-
sieged with requests to stock the
streams of the west and middle
west with German carp, says the
New Orleans States, but it ap-
pears that the demand for this
particular fish has become extinct.
According to that journal this is
caused by the people not know
ing how to prepare the carp for
the table, which is something of q
study. According to the original
German recipe the fish must be
cleaned nicely and put out in the
sun two days to dry. 1t is then
nailed firmly to q board and thor.
oughly covered with salt, after
which it is exposed two more days
to the sun. The fish, which must
not be removed from the board, is
now ready for cooking. Place it
in q hot oven and bake steadily
for six hours. Then pull the nails,
take the carp from the board and
throw it away, eating only the
nails and the board which, accord,
ing to the States, have been pro-
by experts to be the best
parts Of the first.

This section experienced heavy
rains and wind storms this
week. The rain fell in tor
rents completely flooding the
streets, the wind was quite heavy
but fortunately done no serious
damage. The farmers and plant
ers have received ample rains to
insure a good growth of their
crops and a dry spell is now
needed. The cane crop is grow
ing nicely and the prospects are
bright for a large tonnage this
year. Preparations are being
made to harvest the rice crop and
as soon as the wet spell ceases
this work will become general.
Cotton is doing far better than
was expected and next season a
much larger acreage will be
planted. Truck farmers and gar
deners are busy getting ready for
their fall planting. All in all the
crop conditions in St. Mary was
never better.
