Baptist Convention,

The Baptist State Convention Board
finished the work of its annual session
at Jackson and adjourned, the mem
bers leaving for their respective
homes. The board planned its mission
work for the coming year on a basis
of $4,000, apportioned as follows:
Foreign missions $27o0e, ssate mis-
sions $4,000, home missions $4,000
An appropriation of $4,000 was made
toward the building fund for the new
Second Baptist church in jackson, and
this gives absolute assurance that the
new ediflce, costing at least $4,000,
will be erected. Rev. W. p. Price,
the pastor, is much gratifed over the
liberality shown by the board. The
building fund now amounts to $13,500,
and he desires to raise at least $4,000
more, but this sum will be readily se-
cured before preparations are made
for building heSt spring. 49,,

There was a time when some
people who lived in the country
were ashamed to admit they we're
farmers, and the young men and
women left the farms just as soon
as they could. That time is no
more. The farmer is king. He
is the man who "feeds them all. "
He is the man who knows what
it is to be independent. He has
become a business man, practicing
one of the most honorable of pro-
fessions. His sons and daugh-
tiers now look forward to spending
their lives on the farm, in peace
and contentmeut. Telephone
and rural free delivery have
brought the town to the farmers
gates and his independent po-
sition is the envy of thousands
of debt-ridden, burden-bearing
dependent men who dwell in
towns.-Beatrice Express.

assessors to make up their books
in the Office of the county asses

and errors would be prevented in
this way that give more or less

E. p. Roe secretary of the Soc
ialist movement in this state who
hales from Omaha, held fourth
at the court house Monday night.
He had a difficult time in con-
vincing several of his audience
that money was needless med
ium of exchange and that value
should be estimated by time in
stead of actual material worth,
knowledge or demand. His
theory is that the time of the man
who hoes in the garden is worth
as much as the lawyer, doctor or
teacher who spends years in prep
aration or the man who plows
ten acres of corn day is worth
no more than the even ploding
fellow who goes over only half
the amount. In other words if a
pair of shoes is worth one days
work, it makes no difference what
kind of work or how efficient the
workman each receives a check
for one day, which enables him
to draw pair of shoes. Another
phaze of the socialist idea is tina,
all shall surrender the ownership
of their land and property to the
government and ceased to be in.
dividual owners. The homes
that they have built and saved
for life time shall no longer be
theirs but shared equally by the
prohigate fellow who never die
an honest days work in his life
or earned an honest dollar.
