be able to pay all liabilities and
have some money left. His fall
ure. he says, is due to the opposi-
tion Of some st. Louis dailies.

ther resolved that the money ne

est way out is to go ahead and
do IL at once.
The Methodists of Marshall have
been getting on fairly well in the
raising OF money for church i'm
provements. New committees were
appointed Sunday, and they ex-
pected to have the eight or nine
thousand dollars necessary in the
treasury this week.

No other Latin-Americans were en.
