Back from East

Jim Johnson returned Satur-
day last from an extended visit
in Texas includinga business
trip to Georgia where the estate
of his mother. Mrs. Dizzy johnson
deceased, claimed his personal
attention as administrator. He
reports conditions in the south
ern states as stringent and al
most desperate owing to the glut
.ofthe Cotton market upon which
they chiefly depend. Then too a
stringent quarantine against
Small Pox, which is ravaging all
the South and interferes with
even the running of trains. Mr..
johnson is satisfied that he has
seen much hardship in the south
iern states that we have never
known here even in the dry years
and no place he has seen compar-
es with this mesa this year.
This is not the opinion of a To-
cal partisan but of q man who
.
has interests in several other
states and who has compared
them carefully from personal OBJ
servatiOn.

are Ruth and Juanita Harper

decided not to do SO as many

worse for the wear. He spoke to the
/ student body in the high school build
\ ing Ia the morning and had much
to say In praise Of the fine building
gClarksbnrg has lately erected. He
said this city had the capital out
lclassed In its high school building.
He chose for his text a phrase TAX
en- from the fifth chapter of st. Johns
Gospel and thirty-fourth verse:
THESE things I say unto you that
you might be saved. !" After making
clear the word might. which he said
did not mean must, or will, but sim
ply the possibility of salvation IL an
individual showed willingness to. be
saved, he said most people have
been saved, and wrecks have been
averted by men taking timely advice.
II you will take my advice tonight
you can go out from this house with
salvation In your hearts. It took an
earthquake to arouse the jailer in the
prison at Philippi. and some of you
will get an earthquake some OF these,
days.
Prayers have not awakened you.
Pleadings have not awakened you.
preaching has not; the thunder
bolts Of the Gospel have been hurled
at you and yet you sleep on. A SOC
alarm clock will awaken you to go

No explanation Of the break is
