CHURCH CALLS PASTOR TO
SUCCEED REV. MacLENNAN

At meeting of the congregation
Of the Presbyterian church Sunday
morning a call to the pastorate was
extended to Rev. T. F. Barrier of
Yates Center. 1t is earnestly hoped
that Mr.. Barrier will give the invita-
ton of the Liberal church favorable
consideration. If he comes to Lib
eral it is likely he will begin his work
about the last of September. Rev.
D. G. MacLennan will not close his
work here till that time.
Rev. Mr.. Barrier visited Liberal
and spoke at the observance of the
thirtieth anniversary of the organ
ization of the church. AS soon as it
became known that Rev. d. G. Mac
Lehman contemplated leaving the
session of the church turned to Mr..
Barrier as the one man they desired
as their pastor. Altho not stating
definitely that he would come to Lib
eral he gave the church to understand
that he would consider a call favor
ably.
Mr.. Barrier is a man of pleasing
personality, eXcellant address and
rare spirit. He is of exceptionally
scholarly attainments. For some five
years he taught in Presbyterian col
lege. His work as pastor has been
very successful in all his fields of la
Dor.
The Liberal Presbyterian church is
to be congratulated on the prompt ac-
ton they have taken. No organiza-
tion can make progress or even hold
its own without a leader and this is
especially true of the church. To have
a pastor on the field without weeks
break in the work is most desirable
condition. The church is fortunate
in these days when there is such a
shortage of ministers because of the
may going into Y. M. C. A. service,
Red Cross work and army chaplaincy
to be able to secure man to take
the field.

Each family in the district gave
several articles to be sold and the
Auxiliaries wish to thank the follow
ing firms .of Liberal for their gener-
Gus contributions: Star Grocery,
Scandrett & Fuest Hardware Co.,
Geo. Smith G. Bro, City Bakery,
Eagle Grocery, Enterprise Mercantile

DAVIS BROTHERS WERE
.g IN LIBERAL SATURDAY
Deposited Their Money Here and
Roamed Our Streets That
Afternoon.

The Davis Brothers, Tom and Bill
of Tyrone, were here Saturday. Hav-
ing been refused the banking privi-
leges of that town they brought their
money here for safe keeping, and it
is likely that this city will be infested
with their presence.
However they will be watched and
the first break they make they will
get all that is coming to them. The
news of their actions at Tyrone is
abroad here and already there is a
strong sentiment against them. The
Democrat Man was approached Sat-
urday by citizens who asked whether
we had better let them light here, but
as we had no charge against them we
informed them that as long as they
conducted themselves properly it
might not be we'll to run them out.
We are sorry they have decided to
make Liberal headquarters. This
town has no room for such trash, and
the reports we get indicate clearly
that they are most undesirable as cit
liens.
We were in hopes they would go
in some other direction, but since
they came this way we are going to
make it our special business to watch
them, and they had better go straight,
as we do not like them at all, and
there are plenty of others who will be
back of us in pushing them to the
limit if they violate the law or try to
pull off the ruff stuff they have at Ty-
rome,

WHEELER SELLS HIS
BLACKSMITH SHOP

T. ]. Wheeler the North Kansas
avenue blacksmith, last week dis
posed of his shop to Chas. Sparkling,
who is now in charge of the business.
Asked as to what he expected to
do, Mr.. Wheeler replied that he had
signed up contract to do nothing
for while and that if he liked it he
would adopt that as permanent oc-
cupation. Of course he won't like
the job and will be at something else
soon.
Mr.. Sparkling takes hold of the
work like he meant business, and he
will make good just as Mr.. Wheeler
has.
