Sept p. We have had two killing
frosts on the low ground on the 25th
and 26th. Pretty early for frost in
old Beaver county, isn't II?
Preston Allen is seeding broomcorn
In our neighborhood and doing fine
fob. John Cassidy had 80 balls put
out by them this week and they are
finishing Mr.. Lawson's job today.
There hasn't been any broomcorn
buyers in this neck O. the woods yet
this year.
David Gates returned home last Sat-
urday. Tie reports his father resting
easier but with small chance for re-
covery.
Mr.. lawson Is able to be up and
about the house some but Is still very
weak.
Farmers are all hustling TO get their
feed cut up since the frost. This cool
wind bowling around the corners Of
the house does make one think of win
ter all right.
Mrs. r. d. Thomas is suffering from
very sore finger; something like a
fellon on the middle finger of the right
hand.
The dreaded horse plague has reach
ed the LaKemp neighborhood, 80 we
hear, there being several horses that
have died appeared to be the symptoms
given In that disease.
Aver Swan and Louis Ke=vil Just
got in from Higgins the first of the
week where they had gone with wheat.
Thomas Black has laid of the plat
for the erection OF new house We
wonder when he is going To Missouri
again and II we will get cigar when
he returns.
Still the cry goes up for more farm
laborers, 1t seems as though there
would be no loafers as good wages as
they get now but they are still In evil
dence.
John Cassidy cut feed for Mr.. Thorn
AS one day last week.
School begins at Dist. No, 1870 on Oc-
tober 7th, Only few more days OF
idleing for the kiddies now Our school
house was to have been painted but
IL Is still the same old color.
Wonder why we haven't any road
boss in Elmwood township. There was
very little road work done last year
and none this year, The county was
put to the expense OF getting material
on the ground for bridge west OF the
II. W. jackson farm two years ago and
the job was bungled up and the plank
piled up to rot and there they lay, and
the road on the hill south OF the Thorn
rs place is almost impossible. Some
one get to work and see the voters fix
il or send the women out after them
ana see il in thirty days the weaker
sex don't have different looking road.
News is scarce as also is time so we
will make our bow and leave for this
week.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages. and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-

Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF

THE FARMER AND The TOWN.

Some get the impression that be-

cells Post that he is trying to injure
the town and its merchants. | think
this a mistake as to the farmer be-
cause the good town or city is one of
his most excellent helps and a thing
the intelligent farmer can not afford
to lightly consider. In the first place
it furnishes him staple market for
his eggs, poultry, vegetables and other
produce raised on the farm, without
this market he could not expect any
think like a good price for perishable
products. A large trade center furn-
ishes him with a more varied and di-
versified class Of buyers for his corn,
oats, wheat and cotton. Also close

MORE ABOUT THE BIBLE.

Editor of the Chieftain
In a recent issue of the Chieftain,
El Nathan Marcus, b. s.. makes the
assertion for the 40th time that the
Bible is the foundation of morality.
civilization and all that is pure, good
and holy, and he throws out chal-
llenge to those that do not accept all
that is in the Book, by saying that,
despite all the attacks, the Book still
stands This is a very specious argu-
ment, and without some little rehec-
tion, any person might conclude that
this reason for the Books popularity
lis unanswerable The same can be
said of Shakespeare works. Platos
writings or the Decameron of Boccac-
clio They all have been put on the
prohibited list,-the Index Expurgatus,
and yet they still live. The case with
the Bible is little different from the
other books mentioned The Bible
has some 100000 paid preachers in
this Continent, paid lawyers to de-
fend ii, while the persons who defend
the secular books mentioned do not
receive any compensation.
Bro. Marcus, what do you think
would become of your BOOK, If all the
paid Priests,-the paid defenders of
Polygamy Slavery, Cannibalism, Adul-
ltery and Murder, would suddenly cease
to receive their salaries? DO you think
that the cause of the Master would
be SO vigorously pushed? If, instead
of our Bible being taught and defend
ed by our army Of paid counselors, the
whole body would suddenly receive
notice from the adherents of Mo-
hammendanism that salaries would be
paid them for defending the Koran,
and that no further money would be
Forthcoming for christianity, do you
imagine that Christianity would CON
tinue to grow? OF course. you and a
chosen few that work the Good of

yard, but those Children of the Devil,
those higher criticsall that class
of modern preachers that you so mer-
cilessly scored in your article on the
"Apostasy of the Church, would at
once accept the new doctrine. The
assertion Of Marcus that the Doubters
have dogmas is absolutely untrue The

My experience with the big mail

"THE BIBLE A COLLECTION OF
BOOKS"


Editor Chieftain: | have been read
ing the discussions on the Bible be-
tween El. Nathan, B. s., and "Ob-
server" and find them very interest
ing. 1t appears that FL. Nathan is
trying in his childish way to get to
heaven through the Orthodox Bible
which is only one of the many Bibles.
The Bible is a collection of books, in
fact it was not called the Bible until
five hundred years after Christ, but
was called the Bibles, instead of be-
ing regarded as the Book" it was a
collection of books written by differ
ent authors in different centuries be-
fore and after Christ. So far as the
Old Testament is concerned, the most
of it is written in solid blocks of cap
ital Hebrew consonant letters, not a
vowel in tie whole book. 1t was not
even divided into chapters, or sen
tences, there were no marks separat-
ing one word from another, further
more, it was writ Ell i'm a language
which is absolutely dead, no man liv-
ing, nor no man who has lived within
the last thousand years could read a
sentence of the original Old Testament
if it could be found
For over one thousand years the
Bible was kept from the people, it's
language was dead, translation of it
into the language of the people was
not tolerated, and the only way it
could reach the people was in small
detachments, and as strained through
an ignorant and vicious priesthood, in
the estimation of the church few
crimes were greater than to read and
understand the Bible. It is only three
centuries since the Bible existed in
the vernacular of the people, we are
only reading one of the numerous
Bibles of the world, all of which lay
claim to inspiration, and all of which
are sincerely believed by honest and
intelligent people to have come from
God.
According to the orthodox rendering
of both New and Old Testament teach
ing, all men are involved in the curse
which followed Adams sin, but if the
account of the fall be mythical, not
historical, if Adam aHa Eve-suppos-
ing them to have ever existed-were
preceded ON earth by many nations
and empires, what becomes of the doc
trine that Jesus came to redeem man
kind from sin committed by one
who was not the common father of all
humanity? Reject Adam, and you can
not accept Jesus, refuse Genesis, and
you cannot give credence to Matthew,
Mark, Luke, John and Paul. The Old
and New Testaments are SO connected
together that to dissolve the union is
to destroy the system. The account
of the creation and fall of man is the
foundation stone of the Christian
church. if this stone be rotten, the
superstucture cannot be stable.
The Bible is so mixed up, every now
and then brief list of names or
events from some foreign source is
stuck into the middle Of a narrative
which it interrupts and harms, for in
stance in g Samuel 3-2-5) other in
eonsistiences, contradictions, and in
terpolitions will be noticed
The most ridiculous thing in the
Bible to me, is e Kings 20-10), where
the earth moved back ten degrees to
convince man that a boil would not
kill him. And the most vulgar and
corrupt thing l ever read in my life
