can now be bought more cheaply than 1t can be made at home. The very mending of clothes now hardly marks the goud housewife; you are told that 1t is cheaper for the elder daughter to go to work in the factory and buy with her wages new suits of ready made for the boys. It is all gone. The old life now only lives in tender memories.
 Estates of 1000 acres and more, owned by non-residents, are rapidly multiplying along the coasts of the seas and gulf, the shores of the lakes and rivers. in the mountains and villages. Is there reason to believe that the alteration that has taken place within fifty years is any greater than the next fifty years will show? The property thus taken is not wrested away from the poor, for if it were offered as gift in small holdings 1t would not commonly be taken. It is pre- cisely the poor man who cannot afford to hold it under existing conditions; 1t s only available as toy for the rich man or as plaything for his children.

Very Satisfactory Service.

The High School baccalaureate SER
mon and services at the First Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, Sunday evening,
were very beautiful and impressive.
The large and handsome edifice was
crowded with our citizens who attend
ed the services to listen to the sermon
by Rev. o. S. Metzler, who upon this
occasion did himself proud. His
effort was far in advance of any
| previous address since he came to EN-
porium and that is saying much, for
he has treated our citizens to many
oratorical feasts seldom heard outside
of the city churches. The Rev. Metz
ler's remarks were based upon Daniel
l-2O, and were strong in thought, with
logical grasp of the subject, apt illus
tration and beautiful diction. The elo-
quent manner of delivery held the
large audience in wrapt attention.
Every sentence was polished and to
the point. Emporium Methodists
| have certainly been fortunate in re-
tanning his services for five years.
Upon the platform were seated Rev.
r. McCaslin, of Presbyterian, Rev. J.
NJ Robertson, of Episcopal and RevT
w. Twitchell of Baptist churches, all
of whom assisted in the services. A
choir, Miss Grace A. Walker presiding
at the pipe organ, consisted of mixed
| voices from the several churches, ad-
ded greatly to the occasion. The SER
vice throughout was very beautiful
and inspiring, and must have been
! gratifying to the graduating class and
school directors, who were accorded
seats we'll to the front.
