Feel that I've lost half of my life
for not having read it since it's pub

Lord and Master that He has chosen
a second Moses to lead His people out
of bondage, for our country is rotten
through and through
Mr. Watson, may you, and, also,
your Christian friends never cease
praying to our Heavenly Father, till
your works are accomplished. Be

ly known what to say; am SO dis
gusted with myself for being so
ignorant, must confess my ignor-
ance as thousands ought to do.
Never knew where my money
went to before you told me.
Have always been strong be-
lever in Foreign Missions, and al
ways will be, but nothing suits me
more than the Pauline doctrine, and
never will I give another penny till
this subject is cleared.

THIS FARMER HAS ENOUGH OF
MISSIONS AND DUCKWORTH.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-A am a
subscriber for your paper and also
a great admirer of your writing, I
wish to tell you that I am with you
on all you say as to Foreign Mis-
sions. I am glad to know that some
brave editor has at last got after the
tat job" ministers of the foreign
helds, and the ones that beg the
money in the churches we poor farm
ers attend should be got after; for
the city people I don't care; they
are called on to pay out some of the
money they cheat the farmers out
Mr.. Watson, I am glad you are
exposing the Catholics. have
learned more of the Cotholic church

Mr.. Watson, I am glad that you
did not take time out of your other
duties to debate with Ellis and
Broughton. You are doing more
good for your country and it's peo-
pie than either of those ''loud-hol-
lering' ministers ever have or will
do.
am glad to. see so many letters
from the people telling you how
much they enjoy your paper.
AS for myself, think it the finest
paper published. I received my

WHERE DOCTORS AGREE WITH
MIR. WATSON.
Oxford, Ga.

Dear Sir:-Please allow one who
admires and endorses your recent at
tack on Foreign Missions to con-
graduate you and say your ideas on
the subject are correct and in ac-
cordance with the teachings of the
Bible. There should be a limit.
Hoping you will continue in this
work, as you are now doing, and that
your readers may ponder, linger and
think over the question of missions
very carefully, and pray over it be-
fore doing other things, instead Of
sending the Gospel. The Gospel alone
is what we are commanded to send,
and not hospitals, doctors, surgeons,
sanitariums, colleges, etc.
Now, with compliments of the sea-
son and hearty good wishes, I re-
main,
Very respectfully,
Respectfully,

TERING FORCES ALREADY.

A1AsA1N0 IO1AOUS AI1hALAD4s
Dear Sir:~-I am with you in your
fight for reform, socially, politically
and reliously. If we could only get
the people at large to read and think
along these lines there would be a
mighty transformation for good in a
short while.
Your articles on Socialism are
scattering the forces here already
and by the unprecedented. and think
ing you are endorsed on the subject
Of Missions. We are anxiously
awaiting your articles on Roman
Catholicism.
To my mind, it is the chief of the
many evils with which we have to
contend.
I will prize the knife highly if you
can afford to send it.
Yours very truly,
J H FROST.

Fake Agent in Jail.

Pierre Dakotan: Herbert Gregory,
Examiner for the Insurance Depart
ment, was In the city yesterday. He
had just returned from Alexandria
where he was instrumental, through
the aid Of the states attorney Of
Hanson county, in having bound over
to the circuit court E. M. McCallum.
who has solicited insurance in that
county without a certificate OF autho-
rity from the Department., and for a
company not licensed to do business
in South Dakota. The defendant
was bound over on one count, but
there are a dozen or more similar
charges to be brought against him.
When Mr.. Gregory left Alexandria,
McCallum had failed to secure bonds
and was locked up In the county jail.

The Same at Canton.

Vermillion Republican:-Not long
ago one of our citizens was in the
market for a bill of furniture and
made a list of what he wanted and
figured the cost, plus freight, as shown
by a Montgomery Ward catalogue.
Before ordering he went to n OF our
local dealers and got his figures on
the same bill. The result vas just
what might have been expected, the
local dealer got the order; the purchas-
er got his furniture delivered at his
door all set up and in number one
condition instead Of having to pay
drayage. and put it togeather himself,
and saved just S4.O0 over the price at
which the goods were listed In the
Chicago catalogue. He also has a
guarantee that is backed by a home
man, who can make good, that the
goods are as represented and not a
cheap imitation. The moral is plain,
and what is true Of the furniture
line is equally true Of every line Of
business. Our home merchants sell
goods as cheap or cheaper than any
catalogue house a when the quality
is considered. Any man is entitled
to a square deal and mex time you
want a bill Of goods give the merchant
a square deal by giving him a chance
to figure on it before sending your
cash to Chicago on the mistaken
superstition that you are saving money.

and do business with home people
whose interests are Identical with
your own.
