An Honest Preacher RQbs the
Dishonest

The Patgrina's Banner is the name of mag
azlne published at Graymont, Ga. It's editor
n-chlef is Elder W. H. Grouse. He writes
lots OF mighty good stuff, as per sample fol-
lowing:
ministers Should Be Honest.
There are few Primitive Baptist ministers in
Georgia who seem to have but little regard for
their financial obligations. They move to some
section and, when they have made number of
debts, which they make but little or no effort to
pay, tney move to another section and there this
is repeated. In almost every place they have
lived, there store bills and house rent vet un-
paid and number of good brethren have been
persuaded to loan them money go their secu-
rlty and then left to manage the debt as best thew
can The church, knowing all this grants letter
or dlsmlsson, not wanting to have any trouble
ana being glad to get rid of him in this way and
thus year after year this goes on and the PRINT
tive Baptsts have to bear the blame
Now, I speak only for myself, but I want it
distinctly understood that [ do not propose to
uphold any one in such course A man that is
dishonest is not fit to be in the pulpit and anv
minister who is guilty of these things will please
take notice that he is not wanted at my churches
so far as am concerned In the past the PRINT
tive Baptists have been noted for their honesty,
and do not propose to allow that reputation de-
stroyed 1t can prevent it. 1t means something
to be a servant of God and minister of Tesus
CHRIST and the man who has no more respect for
his Master, his brethren and the cause he has
espoused than to pursue the course some have,
ought to be put out of the service This is speak
ing plain, but the Banner stands for righteousness
IN all things and desires to clear her garments of
knowing how destructive this course is, and that
it is wholly at variance to the gospel of Jesus and
the principle OF grace implanted in the soul, we
could not be true to our cause and remain silent.
Brethren, there ministers i'm Georgia gull
ty of these things Do you propose to tolerate
it?'
We happen to know that what Brother
Grouse SO bluntly and courageously says about
the Primitive Baptists would fit certain
preachers of other denominations like a tailor
made suit.
Too scared to say anything more at pres

|OPEN FOOTBALL
FOR ALL TEAMS.
Changes In Rules DO Not Seriously
Affect x. n. s., But Some Teams
VIII Be Hard Hit by
Them.
DROP KICK THREE POINTS
This is Hardest Blow For Light Teams
Possibilities Of New Style
Have Only Been
Touched.
DROP KICK THREE POINTS

Football enthusiasts in Keokuk will
witness the doing away OF the old
style Of play this fall even
more than ever IL present
indications count for anything.
But the once important change
In the rulings will not seriously affect
the Keokuk high school team unless
tactics are entirely different from
last season and the seasons proceed
ing it.
What is considered the most Inn
portant change in the rulings is the
reduction OF the value OF drop kick
from four to three points. This i'm
portant change will not affect the
locals game as since the drop kick
was brought strongly into play and
made almost one Of the essentials of
winning team the purple and white
have never developed a kicker. It
was simply that the team lacked nee
essary nerve and would not place
confidence in the man who would try
for drop kick as a means of win
ming games. In the past few years
there have been several kickers on
the team of average ability, but the
coach and players were always some
what reluctant about placing the game
in his hands. Last season both Weis-
man and Parsons were faily good, but
they never tried in a pinch and thus
the value Of drop kick was never
known.
But in the colleges 1t is different.
OF course the kickers are expere. but
at that they never hesitate to try for
goal from anything under the ifly
yard line.
The other change which makes 1t
possible to put the ball in play after
a touchback will do away with the
place kicker's usefulness. Before the
defenders were forced to kick from
the twenty-yard line, thus giving the
opponents an opportunity to make a
fair catch and bring their place kick
ers into use.
The colleges will take to the open
style of play more than ever because
/ it is essential to their success. Iowa,
on account of its early game with
Minnesota, will develope the open
style of play as the Gophers have been
very slow In breaking up this game
and have shown themselves to be
backward in making use of 1t often
sively. Ames, under the clever coach
ing Of clyde Williams, will use the
oman ctyla oycl,,ciyoly Drako will
also resort to open style Of play.

LA HARPE, ILL.

The funreal of DR.. c. o. Lovitt was
conducted Wednesday afternoon from
the Christian church, just four weeks
to a day after the operation for ap-
pendicitis at the Burlington ho-pital.
DIR. Levitt was prom nent member
of the Masonic lodge, and also great
worker in the Christian church. He
was we'll versed In dentistry and often
was called upon to take active part
in many state meetings. His plans
were all made for removal to Los
Angeles, Cal, on September 1, where
he expected to locate, but fate willed
otherwise.
]. C. Coulson, editor OF the LaHar-
per, has been alarmingly Ill this week
with stomach and bowel trouble.

Isaac F. Lands has received the
appointment as postmaster OF La

delayed for some months, and, as
tn re were several aspirants for the
place, 1t has been a muchly discussed
question as to who would be the
lucky man. DR.. Butler has held The
Office for eight years. and with his
deputies and clerks, has given the
best o, satisfaction.

J. X. cooney Writes RecoIIeetIons Of
Old Times In keokuk, Montrose
and Nauvoo Which are Of
Interest.
TRAVEL FROM KEoKUK
Went Northwest to Des MoInes by
Waeon-At One Time Nauvoo
Was Called Commerce and
Was French Colony.

One Of the most interesting articles
dealing with this vicinity of the state
in it's early history is written as let
ter by j. K. Cooney OF Montrose to
the Fort Madison Democrat. 1t tells
OF the travel by wagon from Keokuk
to Des Moines; of Fort Des Moines,
then situated near Montrose; of Maui
VOC, then called Commerce. He
writes:
Along in the thirties fort was es-
tablished here at Montrose, then call
ed Fort Des Monies. It consisted OF
heavy block houses VIM. Skinner
superintended their construction. The
dragons were here for a considera-
BILE time, Colonel Parrot in COM
mand. At that time Nauvoo was
called Commerce and was mostly
owned by French colony. Later
they sold out to the Mormons, who
built the temple and occupied it un-
til their prophet, Joseph Smith, was
killed and the temple burned. Then
they emigrated to Salt Lake under
the leadership of Brigham Young.
In those early times the people had
to haul all their provisions and gro
ceries by wagon from Keokuk north
west as far as Des Moines, supplying
small towns along the route on the
divide which runs from Keokuk to
Des Moines. On the east side of this
divide all the streams empty into the
Mississippi-Iowa river, Skunk river,
Cedar river and various small
streams. On the west of this divide
til, streams empty into the Des
Moines river. There is no finer
farming land anywhere than along
this divide. Where once stood small
log village is now fne prosperous
city. In the place of the little log
school houses we have fine colleges,
and the log house churches are sup
planted by magnificent church build
ings.
1t Is wonderful to think of what
great improvements have been made
in the last half century. We can well
be proud of our state of Iowa with It's
two million population of highly ed
ucated citizens and It's wonderful re
sources. ! have seen this state in its
infancy. its youth, manhood and
strength. and today l see it in It's
glory. ]. K. COONEY.
