About the Contents

This magnificent library contains
= about 1900. pages Of text, clearly and
beautifully printed on heavy paper.
Within its covers are found nearly
sixty stories, representing the best
work of over fifty of the great Amer
lean writer's (see list above). These
stories are veritable gems ef HAerufxse..
Every story is complete in itseIf-not
fragmentary, as in many so-called
'.libraries." American literature of
the present day is really the best, as
well as the highest priced, pro-
duced in the world, simply be-
/. cause American authors are writing
pure. terse, vigorous English, and
develop their plots with skill and
power without undue prolixity. It is
the cream of these stories only which
has gone into the Library of Amer
lean Fiction" and the list of authors
given above will show how enor-
mously valuable is such library in
home where the mothers wish tt cir
.children early to form correct taste in
literary matters. 1t is not too much
to say that in variety of style, in rich
ness of interest, and in real value in
the home, this set of books is abso-
%lutely unequaled, and we strongly
. and urgently recommend it to our
readers. eI

such as Moses? Not at all II Is
possible for God to reveal Himself
through others, He did go through
Jesus Christ. lie did 80 through Joseph
smith, whose testimony was given TO
the world. This man was put TO death
for such q testimony. However, he
lived long enough to see the authority
Of God restored to see His Priesthood
re-establshel on the earth. Some have
arrogated this authority TO themselves
but 1t does not belong to them. 1t was
originally given TO IL Apostles. 1t can

bear testimony that the heavens have
been opened, that the Holy Ghost has
been given unto men. This Is the Light
OF the Lord, the power of God, and this
spirit Of revelation can be received by
all who comply with the conditio. s.
Elder Penrose then entered upon a
discussion Of the first principles, citing
the second chapter Of the Acts Of the
Apostles, when Peter on the day Of
Pcnteeost, preached Christ and Him
crucihed to the assembled multitude,
and called upon them to repent and be
baptized for the remission or sins, and
they should receive the gift Of the Holy
Ghost.
The speaker bore fcrvent testimony
and said that the Latter-day Saints
were willing TO be Judged by their
deeds, which We're the fruits of the
Gospel OF Jesus Christ and could be
seen on every hend. The Saints had
the same spirit enjoyed anciently.
Abundant evidence Of this was fur
nished at the late general conference,
when the Prophet Of God, filled with
the Holy Spirit, blessed his associates
ana the people generally for their ideli-
ty to the cause OF truth. The Gospel
was being preached beyond the veil as
it was anclently, and men would re-
Ceiye degrees Of glory suitable to their
respective conditions. God communl-
Gates His mind and win to men and
an may know of the doctrine II thee
choose to, No matter what men may
do to hinder tho progress OF the work,
it will go on, for II Is Gods work.
The choir rendered the anthem:
Song Of the Redeemed" and the bene-

The Mass Meeting Friday Night Names
r. J. Southesjaod % IL Candidate
for Mayor.
As announced there would be a
mass meeting was held in the court
house Friday night to nominate q
candidate for mayor. DR.. A. G..
Coggeshall was called to the chair
aud J. Hill Parham elected secretary.
The call for the meeting was read by
the chairman and the convention
was asked what it's pleasure was. 1t
was proposed togo into the nomina-
ton Of mayor and DR.. ]. h. Tucker
in well chosen words nominated r. J..
Switzerland. The mention of his
candidates name was received with
loud applause. w. s. Parker second
ed the nomination in q character
istic speech.
There being no other nominations
or further remarks the convention
proceeded to ballot. ]. Fl. Bridgers,
J. s. Poythress, Capt. ]. T. Gilmore
and D. Y. Cooper, Jr., were appoint
ed tellers. The vote was announced
as 1856 for Switzerland none against.
This announcement was greeted with
shouts and applause.
Calls for ''Southerland," ''Souther-
land" were the made and q speech
was demanded. MIR. Switzerland
came forward and after thanking the
convention for nominating him he
spoke in defence of himself and his
administration of eleven years con-
tinuous service in the mayors office.
HI explained his position on the
school bond question tout OF which
has grown much of the opposition to
HIM and stated his reasons for being
against bond issues or debt OF any
kind, Notwithstanding which he voted
for school bonds. Mr.. Switzerland
spoke somewhat at length and ex-
pressed himself as confident of being
elected. His remarks were warmly
applauded, great enthusiasm being
shown by his supporters.
This puts two candidates for mayor
in the field and the contest next Tues
day promises to be warm and spir-
tied. We may have our individual
differences of opinion, our preferences
as to candidates, but let US not forget
that we are all friends and neighbors
and say or do nothing which we may
have cause to regret after it is all
over. Both candidates are gentlemen
and those who champion their cause
should not overstep the bounds OF
gentlemanly propriety in the effort
to gain q victory over the other side.
Nor do we believe they will.
