A movement has been started
toward eliminating the four years
time limit to Southern Methodist
ministers, and it is said that at the
meeting of the Conference of the
NJ. E. Church, South, to be held
in Huntington next September,
an effort will be made to pass a
resolution to be sent to the gener-
al conference asking that there
be no restriction made whatever
on the limit of time a minister
can stay at one church, but that
he be permitted to remain as long
as the congregation wants him
and he likes his place. This SUBJ
ject will bring up an interesting
discussion at the next meeting of
the conference.

SPRING TIME.

A poem spring is beautiful thing
If you work in the meter just right,
With blossoms and rills and fever and chills
The topics are plenty in sight.
The beautiful snow no longer can show
Its color on field and on Ill;
1t has packed up its trunk, and the skating is punk
On the pond by the old flour mill.
In the depths of the wood the violets look good,
And the mud the road is knee deep,
For often the skies have tears in their eyes,
And it's awful the way that they weep
It's weather that suits the tall rubber boots
That almost reach up to your face.
French slippers, I fear, and such running gear
Wouldn't be one, two, three in the race.
The boys in the lot have picked ont a spot
Where marbles for keeps they can play,
And the old speckled hen Is at it again
And Dragging aloud of her lay.
The sassafras man comes round with can
Ofbark that will tone up the blood,
And the rescuing has plenty to do,
For teacher is stuck in the mud.
Though winter has fed, the cold in the head
Still fingers, though knowing the date,
And the with the spade is out on parade
And anxiously looking for bait.
AS nature is glad, no one should be sad
Or move round the place on his ear,
Because and for why, unless the books lie,
Sweet spring only comes once year.

The item floating around the
western papers to the effect that
we have an automobile and are
ambling about it is the veriest
nonsense. A man who would run
an auto through this country
would be shot into scraps before
he had gone ten miles. Ice cream
was introduced last summer for
the first time, but the people will
stand no further innovations for
ten years to come.

A WARM PLACE.

A correspondent who visited a
blazing gas well in Kansas wrote
of it as follows:
1.-The heat is warming the
ground to such a degree that
farmers are profting. Lettuce
aud radish seeds put in the ground
at six o'clock last night had
sprouted, pushed through the sod
and matured by z this morning,
and thousands of teams are en-
gagged in hauling the products of
this immense hot bed to market.
All sorts of experiments are be-
ing tried. One man planted po-H
tatoes, and in Six hours he not
only had potatoes big enought to
dig, the heat went on and cook
ed them SO that they were cook
ed ready for the table. Eggs laid
within two miles Of the gas well
are hatched within two hours,
and all the incubators in this Sec
ton have been thrown away.
Watch for the Caney gas well in
cubatorl The name is sure to be
attached to the next incubator IN
vented. The flames were shoot
ing up SO high atnoon today that
some fear was expressed that the
heat in heaven would cause those
who were there to wonder if they
had reached the other place.

Burned money is the hardest for
the government experts to work on,
with the possible exception of mon
ey which has been gnawed by mice.
The department at Washington
onos received cigar box full of
money which had been sent from
PhiladeIphia with the necessary af-
fidavit showing that it had been
inside poorly constructed safe
and had been burned to the condi
tion in which it was forwarded
Evidently with the idea that the
original package ought not to be
broken, the sender inclosed the
oharred pieces with some silver
coins which had also been in the
badly bnrnsd safe. In its passage
through the mails the heavy silver
was shaken through the ohsrred
bills till there was hardly a piece
left the sizs of the head of pin.
The experts who handled the
mutilated money by the aid of mag
nifying glasses soon brought out
four fifty dollar bills and within an
hour recommended that tney be re.
deemed by the treasury.
Only infinite care and patience

is laid out on hard. smooth sur.

placed in their proper position in
