Beware of Peddlers.

Beware of Peddlers.
 Some persons are going about the country selling various articles on the installment plan, and read CTS of the Sun are advised to make thorough investigation before they buy anything that is offered to them by such persons, for there IS bug under the chip.
 There were three persons ln town in one day who had bought ranges on the 'installment plan. ' They paid the magnificent price of S6S for range which could have been bought from any Clarendon, Brinkley, Roe or Holly Grove dealer for about half that price. The best range made is usually sold for s65, depending on the equipment that goes with 1t, but with S65 a man can buy a range of unprecedented merit with an ar- ray of cooking utensils that wou d fill the average kitchen. The S6S range which has been sold on the installment plan is about S4o range.
 We refer to the range because no doubt many of our readers have had the proposition made to them dur ing the past few days, but there IS always something being offered. If before buying from these travel ing agents the people would visit their home dealer and make com parisons of the sgoods, find out the difference in price-in short, fully investigate the matter, they would discover that 1t would mean a saw ing of a neat sum of money to them. No travelling agent will drive his sample range to the local hardware house and there com pete for the sale. Sun.

 To the churches and pastors of the
 Greenbrier Association:
 Dear brethren: It is ust four weeks, until our association meets at Pleasant Grove, and as you all know we have had a missionary in the. field all the..year We promised him SITS for his labors, and he has received only $50 of that amount to date, leaving balance Of SIPS unpaid. Now, brethren, shall we meet at Pleasant Grove with this debt upon uso If not, we must bestir ourselves during the next four weeks, and we earnestly ask that each one make this personal matter and see that a good collec- ton is taken in your church for this work. Bro. Pastor, will you not present this matter to your peo- pie and plead with them to con tribute literally. And, dear breth- ren, if your pastor fails to present this matter present it yourself and ask for a good collection, for we say to you earnestly that 50 cent and one dollar collections will not meet this SIPS debt.

 On my way to the Southwest Missouri conference l stopped twenty four hours at Fayetteville, the Athens of the Ozarks. The new buildings, authorized by act of the legislature, were just com pleted Always interested in arch itecture l briefly inspected them. When the appropriation of SS5, ,Ooo was made for a girls dormitory, an inhrmary, a chemistry building, and dairy building, l believed that it would be impossible to SC cure suitable buildings for that amount. It became evident after plans were made and bids opened that little more mon ey was needed. The trustees act ed wisely and contractors, Geo. W. Donaghey and J. H. McElroy, gave astonishing results with the small means at command. The buildings are substantial, commo- dious, convenient, handsome. and we'll finished. l have never, with CDpeiI a-o bla a<y,,avia,,ca caa, hot
