Col. Lamber ton of Sunidale
ranch is making preparations for a
model farm home in this land of
opportunities. He has erected a
very fine residence and farm build
ings during the past spring and
winter and has already stocked his
place with the best blooded stock
obtainablc. He is one of the op-
timistic sort, who has never seen
anything but good in Mountain
Home and the surrounding farm
lands and is investing an immense
amount of money on his place in
building up a home that he may
enjoy in comfort tire remainder OF
hls days. He is receiving water
from this new canal and the only
comment he has to make is that he
expected it all the time and never
worried for a moment.
Other tracts are being pushed
and laterals are being run to new
lands as fast as the work can be
done. Some of the finest lands in
the valley lay on the south side oi

A very meritorious petition is be-
ing circulated turnout the state by
the people of Kalispel and Flathead
counties which should be heartily
endorsed by every citizen of the
state. The petition is in the form
of a memorial to the state legisla-
ture, which calls upon that body to
enact some law that will do away
with the reckless discharge of fire.
arms by hunters in the state. The
conditions prevailing in open season
in this state are deplorable and
many inexcusable accidents have
happened, resulting not infrequently
in the loss of life or personal injury
to fellow hunter, and these condi-
lions have rendered it extremely
hazardous and unsafe to hunt in the
forests of the state. The petition
asks for the enactment of law that
will deal specifically with this par
ticular class of crime and further
asks that any individual who inten-
tionally discharges frearm at any
person, domestic animal or other OBJ
ject supposed to be game, but sub
sequently proven not to be, whether
injury results or not, upon proof and
of such act, shall have his
license revoked and shall
forever thereafter be debarred from
the right to hunt in the state of
Montana, together with such other
as is merited by the Of
tense.

1t is reported through the press
that strong efforts will be made
again at this session of congress to
get a bill passed for the enlargement
OF homesteads in arid regions. In
the last session the bill encountered
several obstacles, which it is said
have been overcome. 1t is hoped
that Montana representatives in the
national legislature will work with
all their power to get such bill en-
acted for bigger homesteads, but it is
hoped that they will take particular
care that the one offered now will
not be so loosely drawn up as the

tor every opportunity to grab all the

Editor Keowee Courier: Please al
low me space in your valuable col
umns to express my heartfelt thanks
to the voters Of Oconee county for
their hearty support given me on Au-
gust 25th and September Sth for
Coutny Treasurer.
While l was defeated by a small
majority, feel proud of the vote /
received, and shall always have a
warm feeling toward my friends who
stood by me and needed not the
false reports that were being circu-
lated on me by my enemies to bring
about my defeat.
I candidly say that those reports
were utterly false and cannot be
proven. If any one has had his mind
poisoned by those reports he will find,
by proper Investigation, that they
have no foundation whatever.
To those who circulated those re-
ports l will say: May God help you
to mend your evil ways, and help you
to do better in the future, and never
again stoop so low as to try to rob
an innocent man Of his character and
his children of their honest bread.
This is the prayer of one who wishes
you we'll. Respectfully,

Mix. ABBOTT IN VIRGINIA.
Sewers Pastoral Relation to Enter
Theological Seminary.

Newry, Sept. 20.--Editor Keowee
Courier: There are times in all of
our lives when we are made to feel
glad and sorry. 1t was about one
year ago when we were made to feel
glad indeed. The Baptist church at
Newry called Brother Haskell T.
Abbott as it's pastor for 1908, and he
graciously and kindly accepted the
call, and during the past year he has
devotedly and earnestly given his
time and efforts to the cause Of the
church at this place and to the up
building of the cause of Christ. He
has been instrumental in bringing to
Christ several precious souls. To this
end we want to say that it was to-
day that the sad time came with us,
as Brother Abbott preached his last
sermon for us. His text was taken
from Isaiah, 55th chapter and 1st
verse: who hath believed our re-
port?"
This was an exceedingly appropri-
ate selection Of scripture from which
to preach, as ii was Mr.. Abbott's last
sermon to the people of Newry-at
least for this year. The manner in
which he handled his subject would
have reflected credit upon men much
older in the ministry than he.
Brother Abbott came to us about
one year ago as our pastor from Fur
man University, Greenville. This was
his first work as pastor, and splendid
work it has been, for he not only
built up the church, but by his manly
walk has. .sown seeds among us that
will yet germinate and bring forth
fruit to the honor and glory of the
church and himself
So, with these facts before us, we
are constrained to say that Brother
Abbott has bright future before
him, and IL his life is spared the
world will yet hear of him, and he
will be a power for good.
He bade us adieu to-day to take
up his work as ministerial student
In the Richmond College, Of Rich
mond, Va, which some time since
granted him scholarship in that
institution. In the singing of
that beautiful old song, God Be
With You TIL We Meet Again." the
people without exception extended
to Brother Abbott hearty goodbye,
| with best wishes for his future and
success in his Virginia home. We
hope that he will yet return to Newry
to again tell us the "Old, old story Of
Jesus and His love-" A Friend.
