THE PRESIDING ELDER AS

Rev, w. J. Heys writes:-
The members of the M. E. Church,
South, at DeSoto, had "Get-to-
Gether" evening recently when Rev.
William Court, the new Presiding Ell
der, was the guest of honor. The
young people of the church rendered
a delightful program, a special fea-
ture being male quartet. The pas
tor then stated the object of the meet
ing and introduced the presiding. ell
der. Brother Court magnifes his Of
flee and he fairly captured our peo-
pie, especially showing his ability to
get acquainted on short notice. This
was planned so that the pre-
siding elder could meet with us So
cially before he comes to us officially.

SKUNK WITHOUT ODoR

We have had rose without thorn,

the skunk--you need not run-parted
from his anaesthetizing faculty.
F. A. Alexander of Rhinelander.
Wis, is raising "disarmed" slSunlSs.
The scent sacs are removed from the
animal with a few turns of sharp
knife, and the little fur-bearer has
no stigma to prevent aesthetic social
relations with man.
"Skunk fur is eagerly sought says
Mr. Alexander. After supplying the
home market last year the United
States sent 100000 skins to London
"If we had known thirty years ago
what we know now about the eds
of skunks, skunk raising
would be a tremendous industry. The
animal is hardy. There are six or
seven young in each litter, and one
is seldom lost"

CLEANING UP ROUGH PLACES

Deputy Sheriffs Sam Doss and
Spurgeon Ditch and Deputy Consta-
bles Jasper Thomure and o. E. High
ley raided Fred Harper's place, at
Elvins, Wednesday night, breaking in
to poker game, which they neces-
sarily interrupted in arresting the
following participants: Fred Harper.
Ed Hart, Bill Buxton, C. ]. Kirk, Will
O'Bannon and Ed Wilson. Large
stacks of chips were>also taken in by
the officers, as were also several decks
of cards for use in the game, to be
used as evidence.
The prisoners were taken to Des-
loge, where they were arraigned be-
fore Squire Arnold, and The Times is
informed that they entered plea of
not guilty.
Earlier in the same evening the
same deputy Sheriffs arrested Hun
garian miner and two lewd women,
who were arraigned before the same
court. They entered pleas of guilty,
and each were fined $25 and given
Jail sentence Of go days.
The melting out Of such swift JUS
tice to law vioIators should soon put
an end to such trespassing, and the
officers are to be commended upon
their splendid activity. When those
who are inclined to go astray learn
that the law is very apt to get hold
of them, it win have the effect of
STRENGTHENING them somewhat in the
straight and narrow way.

THE CARLETON MARVIN
COLLEGE CONSOLIDATION
The Joint Commission Met in st,
Louis Tuesday and Took Ina
portant Action

The Joint Commission heretofore
created by the st. Louis Annual Con-
ferences Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, for the purpose of CON
solidating Carleton and Marvin Col
leges, met in st. Louis last Tuesday
and took definite action as to the con-
solidation of these two colleges.
At former meeting of this COM
mission joint committee was APP
pointed to visit both Pennington and
Fredericktown and view the whole
college situation and fix value up
on each college plant. This they did
and their report is on file with the
commission.
Last Tuesday the commission by
resolution unanimously adopted, APP
pointed another joint committee to
ascertain whether or not each college
plant could be sold and for what
price. If only one college plant
could be sold for enough or more to
cover the joint Indebtedness on both
plants, then the excess to be given to
the plant retained; and it was thought
best to take the net proceeds, after
paying all past debts, and locate the
joint college at some other point. IA
1t seems that some definite action
will be taken, and it behooves the
people of Pennington to "get busy"
and try to Gland" this college, for if
the two great Methodist bodies get
back of college it will be one Of
the best educational institutions in
the State.

We had wonderfully fine show this
year. Over 300 birds were on exhi-
bition and many farmers were pre-
vented from getting in because of
high water. Anything that you may

Timber wolves are getting extreme
ly plentiful in northern and eastern
Butler county. Farmers in the more
thinly settled districts are making
many complaints about the animals,
and good deal of stock has been lost
by their ravages. People in the
smaller towns state that the night is
made dismal by the beasts bowling.
Timber wolves are very hard to kill,
as they only venture out at night
