A BIG CHURCH.
Mother Story About the Work of
Rev. G. G. Selecman.

The Hannibal journal few
days ago published another big
story about that big church Rev.
{. c. Selecman, former pastor Of
the Mexico Methodist church, is
building in Los Angeles, Cali.
What Bro. Selecman says about
his work is all right. Here is the
dispatch the Hannibal paper pub.
lished:
In Los Angeles there will be
ready for occupancy in few
months a 3-4 million dollar
structure, nine stories high, with
the all-embracing designation
Our Chuch. " 1t will be open
seven days a week. 1t will con-
tain safes, bedrooms, restaurants,
sleeping porches, tennis courts
and an auditorium seating
twenty-five hundred. The
manager of this church-hotel-
club will be Rev. Charles Selec-
man, young man with advanced
opinions. He says:
81 1t is poor business to invest
so much money and allow it to be
idle six days of the week. Wor-
ship is not all. Men and women
need social life young people
want blaze they can call their
own. Many people shy at fine
Gothic churchly buildings, just
as they shy 1t a pale, pious, but
tonedup straight-laced preacher
This is first century Christi
anity with Goth century action. It
is organized human kindness plus
the strength of redeeming

FROM LADDoNIA.
Mr.. Hamilton to Move-Live
Stock Thriving Clarence
Atchison.

Laddonia, Mo-, April 13.-
Easter Sunday dawned beautiful
and bright, grandest memorial of
the Resurrection. The dark, dis
NAL days ending in one glad
burst of beautiful spring with all
its new. life, new hope and per-
fectness.
Clarence Atchison still getting
weaker, with not much hope for
his recovery.
The prospect for a good fruit
crop seems safe up to date.
The wet weather stopped oat.
sowing for several days. Garden
ing was also delayed.
The farmers are still having
hay and grain shipped in. Grass
has not made much progress dur
ing the cool weather. Stock
seems in fair condition every
where, regardless of high price
Of feed.
w. H. Beal, one of Laddonia s
early settlers, is spending a few
days in our little town. Mr.. Beal
is one of the county's landmarks
and we are always pleased to
have him visit us. He has seen
the country spring from a wilder
ness to its present beauty and
thrift. The Tong vanished deer
go galloping over the rolling
prairies. He has seen those dread
full snakes in which the high
grasses and weeded prairies
abounded, diminish in size and in
number grow beautifully less.
Mr.. Beal's highest ideals have
been for our country's good and
greatest development. May his
ideals be realized.
Mrs. c. A. Wilder who has
been on the sick list for several
days, we are glad to hear, is re-
covering.
E. Hamilton, we learn, will
move to farm near Molino in a

SOME INTERVIEWS.

Fred Klusman: All, we thought
we were going to have an early
spring, but not so. 1t looks a lit
tie discouraging for the oat crop.
Too much cold weather lately.
G. f. Bush | never was drunk
in my life, but about Is years ago
| got hitched up with the tobac-
co habit. | quit work this winter
and I'm trying to quit eating too.
Now, if you don't believe this
stuff, mention it to me.
e. f. Kunkel: / have solved
the question of making hens lay
in winter, and now am trying the
experiment of a common Yankee
Of grinding up old rubber shoes
and feeding the hens as the eggs
will have rubber shells and not
break in shipping.
Frank Scroggins: My son,
Cass Scroggins, and my grand
daughter, Miss Sybil Lust, are in
from Clayton, n. M. They like it
down there fine. I've been down
there and you may catch me 60
ing back one of these times, too.
Live stock run on grass in that

wife is still selling Buff Orping-
tons. She shipped cock and
two females to an Illinois buyer

ouct and talkfest last THURSDAY ,s
ni,bt The following other Mex
;aers were also present: Fred
pacber. Mitchell White, Rufus
IaoEson. DIR. W. H. Hickman, S.
~ Rvrns J. W. Gallaher and {.
d. Scherer.
DR.. J. c. Parrish acted as
toastmaster. Mayor W, 5. waters
delivered the address of welcome.
The following made speeches;
Hon. C. G. Daniel, Lieut.. Gov. W.

Fred Pitcher. Hon. F. w. Buffum,
Mitchell White, Hon. j. W. Will
son, Rufus Jackson, Attorney
Jas. 0. Barrow, Robt. A. b.
Walsh. Hon. Geo. A. Mahan, and
Gov. f. w. Major. Miss Maude
Biggs, daughter of Mr.. Joe Biggs
and Miss Lillian Mcdonald sang
some fine selections during the
evening.
All the talks were instructive
and highly enjoyable. The gen
eral theme was, "Better Plans
for Road Working" The gather.
ing was at the Vandaiia Hotel, A.
Guy. foremrly of Mexico pro
prietOr. Mr.. Guy put up a most
appetizing menu.
Lieutenant Gov. Painter favors
the dirt roads above any other,
but Gov. Major favors--any good |
kind you can get. In his address
he said that the prosperity of a
State begins where the town and |
country meet, and the greatest |
factor in evolving this is good |
roads. He said that with the |
price of one battleship he could
build ten great rock highways |
across Missouri from east to west, |
and ten more from the north to
the south. The money so expend-
ed, he thought, would bring in
fnitely more benefit. Two great
minds run Ill the same channel,
the Message man has thought |
these things, too. The speeches
Of all the other gentlemen were
fine; full of good sense, humor
and wit.
Nandalia is great little city.
Payed streets, white way, costly
homes and fine big stores, great
mining interests and rich farm
ing lands surrounding her, as
clean morally as any town on
earth, she is good place to live
H. Vandalia is on the map, and
Aer Commercial Club, all grand,
good fellows, is going to see that
she stays there.
Three cheers for Vandalia.
