BETHEL CHURCH.

The yearly report of this church,
made the 3Oth of April, was crafty
ing to the session and congregation.
There were seven additions and 6
aptisms; the Sunday School showed
a marked increase in attendance, in
terest and hberality.
The Ladies Aid was rather more ac-
tive than usual and fully up to, if
not somewhat in advance, in it's
gifts to various causes, while the
church as a whole gave some $50
more for benevolent and other causes
than formerly, and all this notwith-
standing the embarrassing drought.
Which shows that the church is not
dependent on material prosperity for
it's growth and usefulness. -
Bethel is also gratified over the fact
that one of her elders has been hon
ored. The Presbytery of Missouri in
it's recent session at Benton City, ap-
pointed Mr.. G. A. Wilson as elder
commissioner to the General Assem-
bly, of the Southern Presbyterian
church, which meets at Newport
News, Va, May goth. This is an
honor well bestowed, for Bro. Wilson
has long and faithfully served his
church and presbytery as elder, hav-
ing been chosen to that office in
1881. The ministerial delegate, who
will represent the presbytery jointly
with Mr.. Wilson, is DR.. E. F. Abbott,
pastor at Fulton. The Assembly will
be in session some eight or ten days

WHEAT 81 AND $1.25.
That's the Figure They're Paying
in Galloway.

Fulton, Mo-, May 10.-Wheat
is icing contracted in the river bot
tom section at prices ranging all the
way from 81 to 1.25 a bushel. The
high price is for wheat that will
grade No. 2 or better. Alfred Klein,
of Mokane, who has bought wheat at
that place for years said he had con-
tracted for about 10000 bushels at
prices ranging from 81 to $1.1O.
He has made no effort to buy the
grain, but has dealt with people who
tried to sell to him. Others who are
contracting wheat are d. j. Rootes,
of Tebbets and N. T. Kemper, of
New Bloomfield.
Farmers at stock sales report all
farm work well advanced. Most of
the county's corn crop is in the
ground, and a great deal of it is up
and growing nicely. Wheat even
was reported as we'll advanced as at
the same time last year, notwith-
standing the late sowing last fall.

CONsDINE TRADES.
Thompson Mans Mercantile Interests
In Kansas.

We use the following from the Ell
gin (Kansas) Derrick:
There has been quite a change in
ownership of the Elgin Supply Co.
Jos. Considine, the former owner,
traded one-half interest in all his
entire holdings at this place to w.
w. Pollock, of Mexico, Mo-, for Mis-
souri, property. Mr.. Pollock in turn
sold his one-half interest in the
stock of goods to Frank Wales, SON
in-law of Mr.. Considine, who has
been with Mr.. Considine as assistant.
Mr.. Pollock and Mr.. Mundy, also
of Mexico, have been here all week
and together with the entire Supply
Co. force have just completed invoic-
ing the large stock.
The new firm will be known as
Considine G Wales and the business
will be continued as formerly.
Mr.. Wales is an exemplary young
man and we wish him much success
in his venture.
Mr. Considine expects to devote a
good part of his time to his interests
in Missouri, but will be with us part
of the time.

A FRIEND OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


MIR. Alfred Larsen has just pre-
sented to the little children of Seen
trail School" a beautiful picture ap-
propriately framed the subject of
which appeals to all children.
This picture, with two other pic
lures given by Mr.. Larsen year ago,
hangs on the wall, giving to the
room the atmosphere of color,
beauty, home!
This is not all MIR. Larsen has
done. He has given many creamy
business hours to visiting the grades
where his child is in school.
He has visited at different hours
of morning and afternoon on diff
ferent days of the week until he has
comprehensive idea of the work
as a whole.
We certainly appreciate Mr.. Lar
