New PastorIDuly Installed lnter'
esting Ceremony.
Courier Informant. Barlow Fla.

Courier Informant Barlow Fla.
Last Saturday marked new era in
the history of the A. R. P. church of
this city, and that thriving congrega-
ton now feels that it is in 9 prosper
Gus condition, spiritually. The cause
of this feeling is that Rev. W. A. M
Plaxoo, who came here recently from
Clinton, s. c., has been regularly IN
stalled as pastor, the ceremony hsv-
ing taken place last Saturday morn
ing, and the gentleman in question
now has all the powers that go with
the ~ofice.of pastor.
Rev. D. G.. Phillips, of Atlanta, Ca,
was on hand to perfo nm his duties as
installing officer. His talk on this occa'
sion was in line with the work before
him, and he was plain and forcibls In
his instructions to both pastor and peo'
pie.
The ceremony was very impressive,
and was witnessed by quitea gather
ing, consisting mainly of the members
Of the church. .
Sunday morning and evening Mr.
| Philips delivered two excellent SER
mons. He is q forcefnl speaker and
handles bis subject with master hand.
At the morning service Miss Hattie
Taylor, the charming and accomplish
ed daughter of MI. J. e. Taylor, OF Lam
caster, S. c., rendered a beautiful solo.
At night Mrs. D. G. Dupre, with bel
rich soprano voice, sang a sacred SOLO
The services on both occasions were
we'll attended and of an interesting ma
ture. =.
MI. Plaxco is becoming more popular
every day, and at this time we feel tina,
comment upon his ability il useless,
az he has been here long enough for all
to know that he is a strong worker, an
energetic pastor and a Christian gen
tleman.

Are There Men on Mars.

Are there living beings on the
planet Mars?
That is the one great problem
of astronomy in which mankind
is most keenly interested and
which .cientlsts are now trying
to solve.
Within the next twelve months
Mars will be nearer the earth
than it has been for fifteen years;
and everywhere telescopes are
being trained in the hope of dis
covering this great secret.
Already it is settled fact that
conditions on the planet are such
as would sustain human life, at
least in slightly modified form.
There IS water on Mars and air
though the amount of water Is
not large and the air is much
rarer than the atmosphere of the
earth.
1t is admitted then that there
Is no apparent reason why Mars
should not be the abiding place Of
highly intelligent beings.
But is there any actual proof of
the existence of such race?
The two greatest authorities on
the subject In Amerlca-perhsps
IN the world-are Professor Will
linn II. Pickering of the Astro
nomical Observatory of Harvard
university, and Professor Perci-
val Lowell, whose private obser
vatory at Flagstaff, Arizona, is
largely given up to the study OF
Mars.
Professor Lowell leads the i'm.
portant group of astronomers
who hold that it is extremely
probable-if not absolutely prov
ed-that Mars is inhabited hy
highly civilized neings. He bases
his contention chiefly on the fac
that the surface of the planet ii
criss.cro ssed by a series of ex
tremely regular and apparentl.
artificial canals, through which
water is conveyed from the pola
oceans to the otherwise dry ant
arid regions corresponding to ou
temperate and torrid zones.
There is another group OF as
tronomers who hold that thes
canals-the existence of them
not denied-are only cracks cau'
ed by the shrinking of the plane
and are not the work of any COZ
scious intelligence.
Between these two group
stands Professor Pickering, pc
haps inclined little towards tt
probability that Mars Is inhabi

quietly into the office of Clerk

that marriage license was de
