THE JEFFERSONIAN

We want more self thinkers and firm
actors for some of us have realized
the condition we are growing into.
We had better begin to sing and
pray, give me the old time religion,
it is good enough for me; our fathers
prospered under it; if it was slow,
it was sure, mems word was their
bond in church especially. Now, how
far does it go, in either church or
state? Only to the almighty dollar.
Salaries in the ministry, and per-
quisite in office both, in church and
State think for a moment. Where
are we now? Under the present sit
uation tending to hewers of wood,
and drawers of water; even our
straight haired and white skined
grandchildren and great-grandchild
rem, for our public schools in many
ways are a farce. Yours truly.

THINKS THE s. S. =. ONE OF THE
BEST MISSIONARY PLANS.

Dear Sir Enclosed you will find
check for $500. Please send me The
Jeff and Magazine, for another year,
and use the balance through the S.
S. B. for the benefit Of those that you
think are the most needy. And you
can count on me for so cents per
month from now on; as [ am sure the
S. S. B. is one Of the best plans of
missionary work that l know of. Mr..
Watson, [ am with you in all your
grand and worthy efforts to edu-
cate and enlighten the common peo-
pie, and in exposing political fraud
and corruption in high places. And
as to the Foreign Mission question, I
am with you soul and body. I have
been that way on the mission ques-
ton for years. I can't see any use
in trying to Christianize people in
foreign cOutries that don't want our
religion unless we pay them to have
it, as we have SO much ignorance,
vice, poverty and need at home. You
are right about it, Preach the COS
pei to them but don't hire them to
accept it. AS that is not the COM
mand
Mr.. Watson, I am your sincere
friend and I hope that you may live
many years to see the fruits of your
labor, for I am sure if you continue
in the work, you will convince the
people that you are their greatest
friend and leader. Your SINGER friend
and supporter. w. D. SHEPPARD.

HER DOUBLE CHIN
MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS
A Marvellous Transformation in a Single
Night.

The happiest girl in the world today is
Mae Edna Wilder, of Rochester, N. Y.
She is happy because she has escaped
from the thraldom of superfluous, flesh,
escaped through a process of her own
discovery. She removed her double chin
and thirty pounds of excessive flesh.
Her friends are happy, too, because they
have used it with the same result. It
is an external application that simply
dissolves superfuous flesh and drives it
out OF existence. Its discovery was acct
dental, like many other great discov-
cries have been, but it is just as effec
tive as it is simple. You put it on at
night for a few nights just where you
want the superf1uous flesh taken off
on chin or shoulders or abdomen-and
10! the startling transformation.
Miss Wilder is so enthusiastic that
she will send, free, to any one full in
formation in regard to this wonderful
process of relieving the sufferings of
those who carry burden of superf1uous
flesh. post card addressed to Mae
Edna Wilder, Department 376A Roches-
ter, N. Y, will bring full particulars
and an enthusiastic letter by return
mail. This information is absolutely
free, but do not write for it unless you
are a sufferer from super1uous flesh.
1t does not interest those who are thin.

A SANE PREACHER ON FOREIGN
MISSIONS,

NlSSlONS.
Dear JeffersOnian: 1t is q fine
thing for an advocate to show him
self courteous as we'll as courageous,
fair as we'll as firm. Especially does
such a one gain admiration if there
be wide room for difference Of view
as to the claim he presents. Least
especially is the judicious and judic-
ial temper admirable in a religious
discussion. This not only because
one would, on general principles ex-
pect it there; but also because it has
there been so often wanting. A
clergyman who drives straight at
the mark, without poisoned shafts
left or right, is wise, exemplary, and
successful.
1t was my pleasure recently, to
hear the Rev. Ivey of Warrenton
present at his church in Harlem,
the claim Of Foreign Missions. Prop
erly considering his relati II, Dr.
Ivey contended strenuously for the
general policy Of his determination.
If he were to differ from that policy,
his duty were just to declare his di-
vergence in convention, or rather
widely public assemblage, rather than
before his flock.
The point that struck me, and
seemed worth the hearing of, both
by your readers and our editor, was
the speakers sanity Of address. 1t
was evident throughout the sermon
that he had in mind, Mr. Watson's
criticism of present mission meth
DDS. Yet, in that way not seem in per-
sonal illusions or petty filings. There
was not in the sermon a sinister
challenge or unfair remark: not a
sentence that would have ruffled
the locks of certain red-haired
person.
The claim was manly, brave, con-
sistent; the appeal was strong and
at times tender. Many of the doc
tors hearers might dissent from
his general views; no one, I think,
could offer any criticism of the man
ner or manners of the message.
There is something in this when
one remembers the occasional AFRO
gance Of the pulpit, the common
ness Of ecclesiastical strife, and the
peculiar experience of The Jeff's pro-
prietOr
Strong sense and sweet spirit, in
pastors would give hope Of future
policies that can wake triumphant
over common religion. Yours faith
fully. A. DAWSON.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM STATES
BORO, GA.

On the first Saturday in May next,
let every county in Georgia be wide
awake at the court house by 10
o'clock A. M. prepared to say the
people must rule in our legislative
departments; that we will no longer
submit to the rule or ruin clique.
That we are bent to stand by the
Declaration of independence of
1876" on the old landmarks, liberty
of speech and freedom of the press
Let us hold primary for our U. S.
senator, and if we have to submit
the election to the legislature, we
can show them too plain to be mis-
understood, what their constituents
want and then forever hereafter
deal with them as they deal with the
people-If the white virtuous peo-
pie want Hoke Smith without money,
save the price, let them say so at the
ballot box.
1 have long since been tired of the
few debating for the many, and the
few doing the thinking for the many.

THE NEED OF A PARCELS
POST.

Dear Sir: Some time ago our
school teacher ordered two boxes of
crayon from Birmingham, Ala. to
use in his blackboard exercises.
1t was advertised IS dustless crayon
and he wanted to try it. The two
boxes cost him, 1 think, thirty-five
cents. The express Co. charged him
one dollar for their services in. de-
livering the goods. I just wanted to
ask you if our laws allow such an
outrage as that when the same Co.
will deliver a two gallon package of
whiskey from points in Tennessee
and Florida for sixty cents. Hoping
to hear from you soon, remain your
friend. T. M. MYERS.

VIEW IS MAGIV|F|C
FROM DOUGLAS PARK
Owners of Popular Residence
Section Say 1t Cannot Be
Surpassed.

BY 4 short street car ride and then
a walk of three squares one finds one
self in Douglas Park, one of the new
home sites Of Salt Lake. It will be
only a short time until street car ser
vice will be extended through the cen
ter OF the park by the Ninth South
and Fifteenth East lines.
If there is anybody that has not had
one of the grandest views Of the great
Salt Lake valley to be obtained, a visit
to any part of the park will satisfy
the desires. At this time Salt Lake
City is at its best-the thousands Of
beautiful homes surrounded by shade
trees. the great stretch OF the valley
TO the south. Great Salt Lake in the
distance, and with every detail Of the
valley in full view, his view to the
west is unparalleled. As a background,
the Wasatch range. snowcapped and
magnificent, rivals the western view.
But owners of homes in Douglas
Park will own something in addition
to scenery and fine views. AS resi-
dence section Douglas Park has many
features of merit Close in to the bust
the new high school building is an.
other; square from the All Hallows
college site, still another. But prob
ably the best feature is that the city
is sure to grow In that direction. and
in few years the park will be the
center of the newest part of the city.
The owners of the park are spending
thousands Of dollars In improvements
Scores of building lots have been sold
ard every day finds prospective buyers

No TIME BEING LOST
ON EMPRESS THEATER
Lee De Camp, Who Is in Charge
of Work. Is Adopting
New Methods.

One of the interesting sights i'll the
building line is the methods used In
sending up the walls Of the new EN-
press theater at the rear of the Hoop
er Eldredgo block on South Main street.
Lee De Camp, the contracting architect,
in charge of the construction work, be-
lieves in using any and all systems that
will contribute to the means of max
ing progress. Instead of the old way
of hosting brick to the workmen by
the bodcarriers' route, Mr.. De Camp
has block and tackle system. The
crane used to lift the steel TO place
is hooked to a whole wagon load of
brick. The wagon bed is lifted off the
wagon and set on a scaffold near the
workmen Extra wagon beds are used
and after a load of brick has been de-
posted convenient to the brick masons
the extra bed is placed on the wagon
and the driver starts off for another
load of brick, Mortar is handled in the
same way.
The walls Of the new theater soon
will be finished. As fast as possible
inside work is started. One gang of
workmen is on the heels Of another
The work is sample of what can be
done when all the details are planned
ahead and personal supervision added
The building is being erected by day
labor. Little if any will be done by
contract. The walls are nearly on a
level with the surrounding buildings

Merchants Have Had No Cause
for Complaint in the
Past Week.
SEAS0NABLE GOODS ARE
IN EXCELLENT DEMAND
Money Is Much Easier, and
Cash Sales Are Unusually
Strong.

Seasonable merchandise has found a
steady run for the week among the dis
eliminating buyers of the city. Trade
has been augmented by judicious dis
count sales on various lines and as q
result the many departments of the
stores Of the city have increased gross
sales over last year. The week has
seen q large number of tourists In the
city to aid in making the week profit
able and pleasing to the merchants.
Continued Improvement in the mon.
ey market has had wholesome effect
on retail trade as well as collections.
Cash has been, In evidence in pur-
chases stronger than for many weeks.
Business men are looking forward to
big last half of the year on account
of the certainty Of big crops in the
farming and fruit growing districts.
Clothing in Demand.
Wearing apparel as natural course
has taken the lead in the matter of
heavy sales. This has been true for
several weeks in men IS and women S
departments and is nearly as true with
children S apparel. Lighter weight
summer goods, fancy dress goods, trim
had an unusually strong week. After
forces in the department stores on the
hustle The forenoon trade has not
been affected to noticeable extent by
the system OF opening the stores at
$50. This time last year the depart
ment stores were closing at l O'Clock
on Saturdays. This season the stores
will be open till 9 o'clock on Satur-
days. In meeting the gross sales Of
last year it is thought this plan will
work to an advantage.
Retail Dealers Pleased.
Business conditions in general way
are good, according to retail dealers.
The month Of June so far has been up
to expectations in the way OF selling
and collections in all branches of bust
ness. With the banks a better feeling
is manifest. Manufacturers are book
ing large orders and Wholesale con.
Germs say the first half of the year
will be better than for the correspond
ing months of two or three years past
Comments on the busy stores by out
siders point to real growth of bust
! ness.
