Recommendation Agreed To After
Spirited Debate-To Take
Up Heresy Case.

ATLANTIC CITY. N J.. May 2n-The
Presbyterian General Assembly at its ses-
sion this afternoon adopted the report
and recommendation of the executive
commission consolidating the board Of
home missions. the board of church erec-
ton and board of missions for freedmen
into one body.
The recommendation was agreed to
after a spirited debate. IN which Rev. DR.
William H. Black of Mar44ail. Mo. took
a prominent part. Dr. Black favored
the plan of consolidation, and his ad-
dress, which lasted an hour, probably
saved the proposition from defeat.
The consolidation will reduce the mem
bership of the boards from sixty-eight
to thirty.
The assembly defeated a motion to
college board.

FORMER CITIZEN WRITES

Editor The Journal.-As I have recently moved from your county, 1 thought l would write few lines through your good paper to my many friends back there. We are located in Iron county, Mis- souri, on the Belleview valley, two miles from the town of Belleyiew. This is a beautiful country, and the people all look stout and healthy. There is no sickness that 1 know of.
 Land here is very productive. It will produce most anything that IS adapted to the climate. The people raise wheat, corn, oats, hay, and vegetables of all kinks. There is all kinds of stock in abundance. They feed their corn and hay to their stock, then market their stock-that is the way they get money out of their crops. The credit system is not the custom here, as 1t is there.
 There is good schools and soci- cites of all kinds.
 It seems like times had changed very radically, seeing the big fat hogs in the pens ready for the butcher.

INDEPENDENCE
 COUNTY VS. PEARCE

1t seems that there has been quite a bit of comment pro and con relative to a case which was deter mind in chancery court here Satur- day in which Independence county was plaintiff and former County Judge Cul. L. Pearce was defend ant.
 The suit grew out of the ques- ton of allowing Judge Pearce pay for the duties performed by him as ex-offlcio road commissioner of the county. Several years ago the of- flee of road commissioner was abolished, and the quorum court imposed these duties upon the county judge, there being however no provision of law fixing any fees or pay for such services.
 Near the end of Judge Pearce's term, disappointment of the gover- nor, a special judge was seclected and allowed Judge Pearce the sum of $322 for services rendered during the two years as road com- missioner. An appeal was taken from this ruling by C. M. Finn to the circuit court, with s. B. Wy cough, a former county judge, and ]. C. Stroud as sureties for the costs. Under the present admin istration the suit was caused to be revived in the name of the county, and upon hearing before the chancery court Saturday, the claim of Judge Pearce was disallowed.
 In the hearing of the matter there was no contention made by the county that the services had not been rendered, or that the amount allowed Judge Pearce was unreasonable or unjust, but for the reason that the legislature had made no direct provision for pay for these services.
 Two former county judges, to- wit, Judge c. J. Lindsey, and Judge s. B. Wycough, were allow ed pay at the rate of S2 per day for services rendered as ex-officio road commissioners, which allow ances were approved by the differ ent quorum courts during their administration. As the levying court last year endorsed this allow ance to Judge Pearce, just the same as had been done by his two immediate predecessors, the case will be appealed to the supreme court, upon the theory that the levying court had the authority to make this provision for the roads of the county, and that the

Newport got so much religion during the Burk-Hobbs revival that they close up the drug stores, cigar stands and soda fountains down there on Sunday now. New converts to most any cause are usually so eager to do something that they overdo the thing. As a rule, there are, in all towns, far worse things than Sunday soda fountains. If all forms of vice have been cleaned up clean to the Sunday soda fountain, Newport IS a model town, morally, and we are certainly glad to know that we have such good neighbors.

Here is a good thought from Phillip Brooks: Sad will be the day for every man when he be- comes absolutely contented with the life that he is living, with the thoughts that he is thinking, with the deeds he is doing; when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he was meant and made to do because he is still the child of God.

that he had been brought up by his
mother to the full knowledge Of the
cruelty of his race; that he had
sworn TO her when h lay dying that
he would do all that in him lay 80
right the wrongs that they had per
petrated, to give back to the suffer

of what had been wrested from
them. He told how he had striven
to do his when at last the family
possessions came to him; how he had
entrusted an agent with tire mission
and had surrendered everything so
far as the laws would let him. Then
he told her of the letter that had
come to him. 1t was from the
Prison Of the Abbaye in Paris. His
agent, Gabelle, had been seized by
the people. To his defense that he
a acted for the interest Of the peO-
pie and not against them, his ac-
cuserS replied that he had acted for
an emigrant, prescribed under the

where that emigrant was. For the
