FAIR WARMING.


1t is not desirable to place accounts
in the hands of a Collection Agency,
neither is it desirable to have thousands
of dollars accommodating on books and
never paid. Every person who takes a
paper ought to pay for it, and not
force publisher to beg for the pay: ]
am tired of such methods and will put
out several hundred of accounts unles $

a whole is rapidly forging to the 'front.'
Throughout the session the pulplts
were filled by able men, and some very

livered. On Sunday, Bishop 7. G. Car
ter filled the pulpit at the Presbyterian
Church in the forenoon and at the
Courthouse in the afternoon, treating
our people to two excellent discourses:
D. C. w. Musgrove preached at the M.

The Conference passed resolutions IN
which they were very complimentary to
Columbians for the manner in which
they were entertained; to the Presby-
terian Church for the use of their
building and to the ministers OF our
town, who rendered, every assistance
possible.-
From every viewpoint, the meeting
was a success and our people were de-
lighted at having the pleasure OF enter
tanning the body, and assure them OF
hearty welcome if they should again

FOR SECOND

With Weakened
Team.

Two exciting socker games are pre-
dicted for this afternoon at the league
park.
At 2:30 the Diamond Heads will play
the z. M. c. A., and at 3:45 the Males
will tackle the Punahous.
The Heads and Y. M. C. A. are ap-
parently fighting hard for second place,
as it is generally conceded that the
Males will hold the championship for
another year. Unfortunately, the Heads
will be without the services of ]. Clark.
their center half, who met with
scalp wound on Christmas day which
necessitated several stitches being
taken. Clark is a valuable man and
his position hard to fill.
The Males will not put their full
strength in the field, being without the
services OF McGill and Kellett, which
will probably make the game very
even one. The Punahous are general
ly capable OF putting UP a good fight
when they play against the Males and
no exception is looked for today.
Following are the teams:
Diamond Heads-Goal, Chiffon; backs,
Grune, Gleason; half backs. E. Desha,
