a clear conscience.
While out driving last week Mrs.
Shigley and Mrs. Hargis had runaway

was the occupants were unloaded very
suddenly, though unhurt, and one
Of the wheels of the buggy was complete
ly demolished.
1t was our pleasure to attend service
at the Harris street M. E. Church, jan
uary 10Th. R. A. Spencer, the pastor,
is to be congratulated for his splendid
work. The large church in which he
breaches is filled each service, and he is
supported by probably the second best
choir in the city.
The Lake City pupils remembered
their teachers with silver set Of knives
and forks for Christmas. They were
also surprised Friday at noon when the
pupils spread an elegant dinner in their
honor. The Professor and better half
are at home when it comes to carving
the turkey as well as at real school work
and displayed no little enthusiasm on this
occasion.
We don't mean to SANDER our young
Lake City minister, but it is a fact that
there are very few men Of his age who
can begin to measure arms with him
when it comes to delivering a sermon.
In fact, his superiors are comparatively
few regardless Of age and experience.
Remember that he breaches at Lake
every End and 4th Sundays, also every
Sunday evening.
George Lott has completed and re-
Gently moved into his city residence. A
more comfortable and uptodate home
than this one is not often found in west
ern Kansas. Besides having the acety-
lene light system, water system, ETC., he
has purchased new 5000 player piano
to add to the refinement and enjoyment
Of home life. When Mr.. Lott came to
Barber county many years ago he was
not at all burdened with the luxuries Of
this life, but by hard work and good
management he has acquired considera-
bic wealth. Besides two fine farms and
city re:idence. he has plenty Of good
Stock. If anyone has a night to take
life easy it is Mr.. Lott.
One Of the most elaborate festivities
that has come to pass in this part Of God
country for some time occurred at the
home Of Mrs. !. P. Massey, December
