John Harper, appeared in police
court this morning and was sentenced
to the county Jail for 40 days. He be-
came rather abusive because some

for him for the greater part of the
time. The last time that Harper went
down his sentence was for 20 days
but he became sick and went to the
hospital. In a few days he recovered
and was set free from bondage. Now
he is pleading for some one to take
him to Coal Valley so that he can
spend his days there. But should John
get out there, he would be back in

to use half-tone cuts of people promi-
nent in the history of the church and
city as well and of places that are
identified with the growth of the
church. The congregation recently
celebrated the diamond jubilee of the
