Ask Your Pastor.

The county authorities and former
Collector of the Revenue, l. A.. Letch-
er, are engaged in a controversy over
the possession of certain records APP
pertaining to the Collectors office.
While Mr.. Letcher was collector he
adopted a method of making out tax
receipts in duplicate form, retaining
the duplicates as the receipts were is
sued. When he went out of office
last March he removed these dupli-
cate receipts from the collectors Of
fee claiming them as his personal
property. Later the county court
made a demand for their return on
the ground that they were part of the
public records of the Office, but was
refused. Last week M. B. Rhodes,
special attorney for the county in the
matter, went to Jefferson City and
obtained an. order from the Supreme
Court for the restoration of the dupli-
cate receipt books to the present
collector, and was accompanied home
by Ell. 9. SCHULZ, marshal of the Su-
preme Court, who served Mr.. Letcher
with the notice on Thursday last, but
the books have not yet been returned.
We understand the Supreme Court
will act upon the Marshal's report on
May 31st, and just what the outcome
will be, remains to be seen. The du-
plicate receipts are said to be of no
special value, except as an aid in max
ing out the tax receipts for the cur
rent year.-Potosi Journal.

From Bishop Hendrix to Rev.
Henry.

Dear Bro. Henry-I am looking for
ward with much pleasure to July 25th,
at which time | hope to be with you
at the Arcadia Assembly, and have
declined an urgent invitation for the
same date at Lake Junaluska because
of my deep interest in the Arcadia
Assembly which is SO full of promise
to the Methodism of Missouri and
Arkansas.
/ notice the action taken by the st.
Louis Conference as regards the col
lection of 10 cents per member as
sessment and its being forwarded to
the pastor at Arcadia. This is a mat
ter of prime importance that the
hopes of the few noble laymen who
have done so much for the Assembly
shall not be disappointed in putting it
on a solid basis and keeping it there.
Now is the best time to attend to this
matter as the approaching heat tells
of the cool hills of Arcadia where we
hope to have another gracious season
in July.
Yours cordially,
E. r. HENDRIX.
