Abraham Lincoln once said: 81 have
never united myself to any church be-
cause l have found difficulty in giving
my assent, without mental reservation,
to the long complicated statement of
Christian doctrines which characterizes
their articles of belief and confessions
of faith. When any church will in
scribe over it's altar, as it's sole qualif-
cations for membership, the Savior's
condensed statement of the substance
of both law and gospel, Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and thy neighbor as thyself,' that
church will I join with all my heart and
with all my SOUL"

Last Saturday evening Henry Axes
came into town and went down to
Bowsher's to do little shopping before
going home, and in talking around, the
harness question was casually mention
ed to him; and he remarked that he was
not in the market for any harness now,
as he had just bought bank draft and
mailed it to Sears & Roebuck for set
of 1 inch harness of certain descrip-
tion, as he thought he could save some
money. He was invited to look over the
harness stock and get the prices, which
he did, and he was frank enough to say
that he was mistaken in thinking he
could save anything in sending to Sears
& Roebuck or any place else. He went
to the postofice got his draft and turn
ed it over to Bowsher & Bowsher at the
same time remarking that it had made
him little money to buy his harness at
home. We are like Mr.. Axes, it always
pays to investigate what your home
merchant has.

Remember, farmers, that it will soon
be time to use your hog pasture for
profit; and the American steel fence
with the hinge joint, the corrugated
horizontal wires, makes the only fence
that successfully resists the changes of
temperature and stands up under any
and all conditions of weather. Not
sagging in hot weather nor drawing up
tight enough to snap the wires in cold
as numbers of fences we could mention
do. Do not forget that we carry the
American Poultry and Rabbit fence;
the only all purpose fence. Come in
and see it. We also carry the Union
Lock Poultry fence. We have it in
stock and can supply you any time.

The mammoth display window at
Mrs. Lucy Rays millinery emporium on
the north side of the square attracted
more than ordinary attention last Fri
day and Saturday, the days of her
spring millinery opening on account of
the unique decoration, the principal at
traction being an old fashioned spinn-
ing wheel covered entirely with bright
flowers, and surrounded by a profusion
of cut flowers, and the highest creations
of the milliner's art. The window
decoration was suggested by Mrs. Ray S
mother Mrs. w. J. Darr, who has
has been very sick for several weeks,
and her suggestion was promptly acted
upon, the spinning wheel used being
the one which Mrs. Darr used for many
years. During the two days Mrs. Ray
presented her customers with over 400
fine carnations, and her sales we're
most flattering. The ladies expressed
great delight at the beautiful line of
hats which were shown this spring by
Mrs. Ray.

A Joke that Failed Twice.

Miss Adelbert had just returned
from vacation spent at tiny village
on the Maine coast. In recounting her
experiences she talked somewhat for
the benefit Of cousin, quiet person,
who was visiting her city relatives for
the first time in many years.
There was just one store in the
place" said Miss Adelbert, "and they
kept everything, that is, everything
they had to keep.
"One day l went in to buy some
soap, and just on venture l asked the
clerk if they had Browning. He stared
at me a second, then went off and
looked under the counters and on the
shelves.
presently he came back and said,
No, miss, we amt got none. We got
backing, an we got bluing, an we got
whiting, but we amt got a bit o.
browning in the store"
Miss Adelbert had to make several
protests to assure her audience that
this really happened. Finally the cous-
in asked, gravely, "But, Cousin Bert,
why didn't you say varnish in the first
place"
