SALISBURY. MO.

Despite our small membership of a
little more than fifty we are bringing
things to pass at Salisbury. Sunday,
December 10th, was great day with
us. Our pastor, Rev. VIM. P. Mitchell,
delivered a very able discourse at the
morning service on systematic giving;
and as a result we decided to worship
the Lord in giving throughout the en-
tire day. At the close of the evening
service we were made to rejoice in the
fact that we had laid $125.35 on the
table. We regret to say that we have
not contributed to the work as large
ly as we ought, but our ability to do
things under competent leadership
having been fully demonstrated in the
fact that we have raised during the
time Rev. Mitchell has been with us
MAY 20 to December 10) $580.52, an
average of more than $4,000 per
month, we have decided to render un-
to God the things that are Gods"
Our B. Y. P. U. is doing commend
able work under the guidance of it's
very excellent president, Mrs. Sadie
B. Walls, and her corps Of loyal sup

to the home and was admitted by
Mrs. Thomson, the aged mother OF
Miss Flora. Mrs. Schamp noticed
what appeared to be body lying
upon the floor covered with COM
forters and blankets and mentioned
it to Mrs. Thomson. Mrs. Thoma-
son, whose mind has been affected for
some time, stated that Flora was i'll
and so cold that she had covered her
to keep her warm. Mrs. Schamp
asked if she might look at her and

mother, raised the comforters and
found that Miss Thomson was dead.
Mrs. Schamp Immediately notified
Mrs. A. r. Warford, who resides
near, and Mrs. Warford with other

home at once. Investigation dis
closed the fact that Miss Thomson

since Saturday night. Mrs. Thoma-

Flora came home Saturday evening
and laid down upon the floor near the
stove and that she never got up again.

In order to correct certain state
ments given out by Milk Wagon
Drivers Local Union. No. 11o, beg
to say that most of their statements
are hardly accurate and some of
them very misleading. and would
seem to have been given out for no
other purpose than to damage me
and my business. So far as / know,
my men were all satisfied with the
conditions. and only one of my
drivers was receiving less than the
Union scale. He had only been in
my employ for a short while, and
with the understanding that as fast
as he learned the business his SAL
airy would be increased.
did not discharge any one of my
drivers nor did ! threaten to dis
charge any man because he was
connected with a labor Union. Some
labor Union ordered them to leave
time. I did not make the statement
that would not allow any man con-
nected with a Union to remain in
my employ. AS an evidence of this
fact I Will state that my engineers
are both Union men and have been
in my employ for many years, and
would also add that my printing,
harness work, plumbing and most
all other work around my place is
mechanics.
1 do not have any set scale by
which to pay my employees. al
ways try to reward the man accord
ing to the amount of work he per-
forms and the efficient service he
gives my business. In other words,
I believe in the merit system. and
