new METHODIST CHURCH
BUILDING IS COMPLETED
A Beautiful Edifice Which Is
Modern I'm All OF Its
Arrangements.

The new Methodist church build
ing here has been finished and was
formally turned over to the building
committee last Saturday. Only -
few electric fixtures and one or two
other minor details we're lacking
and these will be supplied to-day ~
tomorrow. Mr.. Paul Woodward
was the contractor and he has done
splendid piece of work, which will
stand as a monument to his genius
and ability in his chosen profess
sion.
1t is a splendid building in every
respect, being modern and up-to-
date in all its appointments. 1t
stands on the corner of Center and
Liberty streets, just around the cor
ner from the court house. The in
side is more beautiful than the out
side, with an inclined floor and a
seating capacity of 400. The seats
are elegant. modern affairs. There
is spacious concrete basement. en-
bracing Sunday School rooms and a
Kitchen for supper functions, &c. A
large heater is also installed there.
The pulpit is situated on the side of
the main audience chamber. instead
of the end, which makes the hear
ing range of the audience nearer the
preacher. No arrangements have
been made for a bell in the large
corner tower and there will proba-
bly, not be one put in. The total
cost of the building in. round figures
was $4,000. Much credit Is due
the preacher now in charge of this
circuit. Rev. p. w. Napier, for his
untiring efforts in behalf of the new
church and under whose pastorate
the building was commenced and
completed. 1t will be splendid ed
itice to greet the Methodist Confer
ence which meets here next year.
No date has yet been set for its ded-
ication. Sunday School services will
probably be held in it for the first
time next Sunday.
The Methodist Ladies Aid Society.
which has had such a large hand in
the building and equipment of this
church, will hold reception in the
new building on New Years Day,
commencing at three O'Clock and
lasting until p. m. Everybody is
invited and light refreshments will
be served--everything free.

Mrs. j. S. Glenn. The affair was
quite original. unique and up-to-the-
minute. When all had arrived the

artistically decorated with beautiful
flags of the Germans and of the AL
lies, designed and made by Miss
Leila Glenn. The hostess announc-

in progress of lighting. would be set

STOCK OWNERS SHOULD
EXAMINE CORN FEED

To the Farmers of Ohio County:
i want to warn the farmers and
st0ckowners of the danger in feed
ing damaged corn to their stock. II
you will notice carefully. what you
would have taken for good, sound
corn at glance, will often prove to
be very unsound. Some of it, down
at the cob, has ping rot, some
gray mould. while others have a fine
black smut. All of it is very poison
Gus TO the system and causes what is
known as spinal meningitis or ergot-
ism. The trouble is not contagious.
but where you have one case of it
you are liable to have more unless
you change the feed.
The symptoms of the disease
vary. Some seem to be in stupor.
You can rouse them up and they.
will seem all right for few minutc5,
probably take bite of feed ana
chew on it and then drop back in
stupor. Some have spasms and be-
come delirious. In the beginning
the horse becomes unmanageable in
leading and acts as though he We're
blind. They also appear to be sore
all over and don't want you to touch
them, but after bit they don't
seem to care for you touching them
The trouble comes on suddenly
and runs from about twelve to thir-
ty-siX hours. If taken in the first
stages OF the disease. it can some
times be cured; If not. it nearly al
ways proves fatal.

The Farmer and His Paper.

THE farmer of to-day is entirely
different from the farmer of yester-
day." said Secretary G. N. Nell
vain, of the SouthDakota State Fair,
"and ! really believe that the coun-
try newspapers have been the great
est aid to the farmers and made
them what they are to-day. There
is no better or quicker way to get
an education than to read the pa
pers. If a man is away from his
home town. his home paper comes
to him like a long lost friend. 1t
just seems to me, when | read my
home paper, as though | was shak-
ing hands with a chum."
