Manchester Has Good
Outlook for Future

Manchester, May 24.-Notwith-
standing the backward spring vegeta-
tion is now making up for lost time.
The pastures are now furnishing an
abundance of grass and live stock
is doing we'll. The first cutting Of
alfalfa will not be heavy in conse-
quence of late frosts. Wheat is show
ing up well and promises to be a
good crop. Corn planting is all done
and what is up is generally a good
stand. Some fields are now being
cultivated.
The farmers Of Flora township are
not very anxious to sell their farms.
And why should they be? With good
pure air to breathe, good pure water
to drink. a plenty of good food to
eat, good roads, good railroad faclli-
ties, telephones in every house, their
mail delivered to their doors every
day, good neighbors, good schools for
their children and good towns close
by, they could hardly find a better
place to live. The few farms that are
being sold are farms that have chang
ed ownership several times at an ad-
vance in price every time. An Old
resident was offered $50 an acre for
his place and was foolish enough to
sell out and is now sorry flor IT,

corps Of mechanics, has two good
doctors and other professional men.
Manchester has a large public hall,
large two story public school build
ings, and has three very nice commo-
dious church buildings, besides many
good things which have overlooked.
Manchester however needs a good

The Seelye theatre was well filled
last evening by the graduates and
friends Of the high school to listen
to the baccalaureate sermon by DR..
F. s. Blayney Of the Presbyterian
church. The music was furnished by
the church choir assisted by Miss
CRANBERRY and was much enjoyed,
Rev. Fuller Bergstresser made the
opening prayer and read the scrip
ture lesson. Rev. G. A. Cole prayed
and Rev. B. H. Hobbs pronounced
the benediction. A duet by Miss
Giles and Mrs. Howard was well rem
dered. The sermon was full of the
best thoughts and was listened to
with marked attention. Some of the
thoughts gathered were:
DR.. Blayney took for his theme,
Common Sense Philosophy and based
it upon the opening and closing YER
ses sof the first chapter Of Genesis:
~'In the beginning God created the
heaven a9d the earth. AndatheNearth
was without form and void. -"
And God saw every thing that he
made, and, behold, 1t was very good" !"
He outlined the progress from cha
otto conditions to the finished earth
and its fulIness, of life and beauty
upon which God looked with satisfac-
tion; noting the introduction Of light,
life and intelligence and deduced
from that his theme.
The young man and woman Of to-
day needs to follow the divine order
of bringing light, life and order out
of the mass of chaotic material which
has become the common property of
the world by the sudden advancement
and knowledge and the accumula-
tion Of all the world-knowledge into
our language and literature and
broad range of education.
The problem is one Of intelligent
progress and steady development un-
der the direction of the Spirit Of God
until harmony, strength and beauty
is developed in character and person
ality which when God looks upon he
will pronounce VERY good"
A common sense philosophy must
have good foundation for its facts;
a proper mode Of Development Of
power, action and plan; and an end
in view that is good enough and great
enough to win the divine recognition
when the Saturday night of life
comes on ana the wages are due and
the Sabbath Of rest and reward comes
on as it did in creations dreams.
He then discussed the need for
this philosophy in the intellectual,

Sand Springs Contaminated.

Water Commissioner Murphy went
to Sand Springs TO investigate the
leak from the river in to the spring
but the investigation disclosed moth
ing. The water has been cloudy for
several days and many people are
boiling 1t. 1t seems that something
could be done to protect the spring
both from leakage from the river
and surface water. A competent en-
gineer should be consulted and the
matter remedied. 1t is a grave hard
ship not to have pure Sand Springs

taken to insure 1t.
