ATHLETIC CLUB

Pursuant to the call in last week S
Herald the young men of Hurley
gathered in the Firemen hall Mon
night to discuss the organization of
an athletic club. The meeting
showed unexpected interest as
about thirty were present. Tenn
porary organization was formed by
making Rex Rundell chairman and
G. w. Fitch secretary. General dis
cussion was then indulged in for
half an hour as to the scope and
purpose of the club. On motion the
following COMMITTEES were then ap-
pointed. General arrangements
A. R. Welch, Roy Allen and Ray
Elliott; constitutions. T. Peters,
Earl Rundell and G.. w. Fitch; new
members-Harry Olofson. Ed MUIR
ply and L. R. Wallace. Twenty-Five

night. Adjournment was then taken
to next Monday night when all COM
mittees will report. 1t is the pur-
pose of the club to secure a room
and put in athletic apparatus, or
ganize basket ball team and con-
duct all the activities of live ath-
letic organization. 1t will be good
thing for the young men of the town
and the Herald hopes to see the
movement end in big success.

Last week we visited at the hos
pitable home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Raynor and we had an opportunity
of seeing the orchard at the time
of harvest, when the apples are be-
ing gathered for market. Even in
a country where fruit is staple
product an orchard as large as
this is seldom seen, and when one
comes to consider the fact that
here is an apple orchard covering
an asea of practically one hundred
and sixty acres containing 1000
fully nlatured and bearing trees,
and situated right here in Turner
County The yield this year was
between 5000 and 5000 bushels
which was sold to the Mitchell
Fruit Company, Mr.. Raynor re-
serving enough for the home trade.
The crop of '94 was 21,O0O bushels
by actual measure. and was sold to
a Sioux City fruit company. The
sleet last spring damaged the
blossoms which accounts for the
short crop this year. Viborg Enter

 And he that hath copy of this letter, written by my own hand and spoken from my own mouth, and keepeth it, without publishing it to others, shall not prosper, but he that publisheth it to others shall be blessed by me, and if their sins shall be as many as the stars at night, and if they truly believe they shall be pardoned, and they that believe not this writing and my commandments will have my plaques upon you, and you will be consumed with your children, goods, cattle and all other worldly enjoyments that have given you. Do but once think of what l have suffered for you-if you do, it will be well for you in this world and in the world which is to come.
 Whosoever shall have a copy of this letter and keep it in their house, nothing shall hurt them, neither pestilence, lightning or thunder, and if any woman be in birth and put her trust in me she shall be delivered of her child. You shall hear no more news from me, except through the Holy Scripture, until the day of judg- ment. All goodness and pros perty shall be in the house where a copy of this letter shall be found.

 From the hands of the child who found it the letter IS said to have passed into the possession oi convert to the Christian faith. For some reason possibly be- cause of the prosecutions to which Christians were frequently sub jected, or from fear of ridicule- this convert failed to have the let ter published.
 He kept it, however, as a sacred memento of Christ, and as such passed it on to his eldest son, who likewise transmitted it, and thus it came down through many gen erations, but never was published, the tradition being that when itI finally was given publicity it had been in this one family for more than a thousand years.
 During all this period of time, the story goes, the family suffered repeated and continuous misfort- unes. Discouraged members had migrated to countries other than that in which the person who had gotten the letter from the child had lived--Palestine, evidently and at last one of them came to -

CHRIsTs LETTER TO WORLD
Superstition Seems to Follow Myster- ious Letter Said to Have Been
 Written By Savior

southwest are printing, usually at the request of subscribers, what purports to be a letter written by Christ. In this letter was an in. junction that it should be pub lished" to the world by whoever found it, together with the state ment that misfortune and bad luck would follow the person having possession of it in the event that it was not given publicity.
 There is likewise a promise that whoever may have copy of this letter in his or her possession will prosper and be followed by good fortune. The promise and the pre- diction seem to have had such an effect on many persons that the spread of this letter bids fair to equal that of the famous chain prayer" which swept over this country and England few years ago.
 A number of persons have sent copies of the letter to the Post Dispatch with requests that 1t be printed. In many cases the ex- plantation has been given that it was sent the writer by some friend, while in other instances it is clip ped direct from a newspaper blythe sender.
 One of the latest of those to fur nish a copy of it to the Post Dis patch is Mae LaBrant of I2oI Marshall street, Little Rock, Ark. She states that it was sent to her by Mrs. ]. E. Atkins of Ionesboro, Ark, last September, and says; T have had several disappoint- ments, but otherwise my life has been very pleasant since this letter came into my hands. -
 According to the history of the letter as it is variously recorded it was written by Christ just after his crucihxion, signed by the Angel Gabriel oo years after the Savior's birth, and presumably deposited by him under a stone at the foot of the cross.
 On this stone appeared the le- gend; Blessed is he who shall turn me over." No one knew what this inscription meant, or seemed to have sufficient curiosity to in- vestigate, until the stone was turned over by a child, and the letter, which follows, was discov- cred;
 "Whosoever works on the Sab bath day shall be cursed. l com mand you to go to church and keep holy the Lords day without any manner of work. You shall not idle or misspend your time in be- decking yourselves in opportunities of costly apparel and vain dressing, for l have ordered it a day of rest. l will have that day kept holy that your sins may be forgiven you.
 You will not break my com mandments, but observe and keep them, they being written by my hand and spoken from my mouth You shall not only go to church yourselves, but also your man-ser- want and maid-servant. Observe my words and learn my command meuts.
 You shall finish your work every Saturday at 6 o'clock in the after noon, at which hour the prepara- ton for the Sabbath begins. l advise you to fast five Fridays in the year beginning on Good Friday and continuing the Fridays follow ing, in remembrance of the five bloody wounds l received for you

America, bringing the fateful let. ter with him.
 Mrs. Fannie Wortman of Ma rion, Ind. is more or less familiar with the history of the letter since it came to America. The family having possession of it. settled in Virginia, still keeping the fact of the letter a secret. It seems that descendants of the Virginia family moved further south, still fol- lowed by misfortune, and finally the last member, daughter, ap- preached her death bed.
 One story is to the effect that with the death of this daughter the entire family which had for so many centuries disobeyed the in- junction of the letter, and with such dire results, was extin- guished. At any rate-and this is Mrs. Wortman's understand ing -the daughter, on her death bed, called in a neighbor woman by the name of Thompson and turned the letter over to her, re- lating it's history as 1t had come down through thousand years or more.
 Impressed by the story she had heard from the lips of the dying girl, and by the text of the letter, the Thompson woman immedi- ately began an attempt to have it published, and it appeared in the Rome Ga Tribune on October 3I, 1891. From there it was re- printed in the Dalton (Ga.) Citi- zen, and Mrs. Wortman, now living at Marion, Ind, clipped it and retained it in her possession for many years.
 Recently Mrs. Wortman had it republished in Marion paper, stating at the time that during the time she had retained the letter in her possession without having it published, or attempting to, she has had a species of bad luck which she attributes to her failure to secure publicity for the letter.
 Mrs. Rubie Crutchfeld of Treze- want, Tenn, IS another woman who claims that having the letter in her possession without securing it's publication has brought her varied lot of misfortunes. She re- tained it for three years, then in duced the Greenfield (Tenn.) ) Times to print 1t.

Northwest, are again offered by the
railroads for the coming Spring. 1t
has just been decided by the various
lines reaching the Coast to put the
low one-way rate in effect on March
10 and continue it until April 10.
Many who intend coming West will
avail themselves Of this rate and
thousands of settlers may be expect
ed to arrive between the above dates.
People OF the Northwest should call
the attention of their Eastern friends
to the rates, adding in this way to
the interest in Washington and in
creasing the movement OF population
in this direction.
Rates that will be made from Middle
West and Eastern points will be the
same on all lines and are as follows:
Chicago, S33; st. Louis, S32; Balti-
more, $48. 25; New York City, $50 90;
