After many months absence from the
columns of the News, the original

at news writing. But in a community

predicted two things this year, a
drouth>and a "panic." The drouth
has come and he has mot failed as a
prophet SO far. but IL panic does
come, why it is all off for the most of
us. The way some Of our congressman
have been tampeiing with the tariff

News succeed in its new undertaking
and hope adj will do their best to make
the eight page idea success.

much to blame as their preachers, the
the false prophets. Men who go about
pretending to preach the Word of God,
and deceiving the people, should be
punished for their wrong doing. 'Ho-

man made religion, and anyone desir-
ing proofs of the same, can have them
for the asking.
