trlct Board met in this city on last
Saturday to consider the PROPOSE
ton of raising funds sufficient to
dredge out Jacks Coulee about one

carry the drainage benefits to a
large section of country.
Mr.. Lewis Anglers was in town
Saturday to appear before the
board and to submit estimates of
he cost of that work. He is also
a bidder for the contract and if he
gdts it he Is practically on the
grounds with his dredgc boat.

 Kidney disease advances so rapidly that many a person is firmly in itl grasp before aware of its progress. Prompt attention should be given the slightest symptom of kidney disorder.

Preston just tOck me by She ear and led me part of the way down She stairs and told me thas my place was below. and I went and took my place in our pew where belorged. The impression was per. manent and never forgotten even to this day
 1 I will close this short article with two or three anecdotes.
 IL used to be told of Lorenzo Dow, noted circuit preacher of the Metho- dist church in Eastern Connecticut in the early part of the last century, that at time when the blue laws of Connecticut were on the statute books, that in returning on one of his cir cuits one Monday, ss he was passing through Ashford, he found gathering of men on the common near the pub. lic whipping pokt. and inquired what 1t meant. He was told that a man had been stopped in passing through the town on Sunday, and was to be publicly whipped for travelling on the Lords day. It is said that Rev. Lorenzo raised himself in his stirrups and called out so as to be heard by all: "Ye men of Ashford, ye serve the Lord as though the devil was in you, " and turned and rode away. It was told tbat the man was not whip. ped.
 When visiting my cousin. George A. Holt, another native of Wilmington. at his hone with his sister in law, Mrs Norman Holt, in Missouri, some years ago, he related one or two humorous anecdotes of Uncle Hosea Vinton.
 He said that Uncle Hosea when he spoke in public always shut his eyes very tight. and at a temperance meet ing he arose to speak. and with his eyes shut he said: My friends, I will go with you in the temperance cause just as far as can see.'' At another time he was speaking in . religious meeting and giving an exhortation to the .unconverted he said: "My friends, if there are any within the sound of my voice who are out of the ark of safety, and I hope there is-''
 Everybody who remembers Uncle Hosea Vinton knows that he was an ardent, consistent temperance man, as we'll as very devout Christian, but at times, when provoked in spirit, he was known to speak unadvisedly with his lips, ''The memory of. the just is blessed,' Prov. IO:7.
