on the one side and right and justice
and love on the other has been
fought. The downfall of the Turk
and the wiping out of the "dirtiest

of the new reign of righteousness

Centenary Jubilee

The work of raising its apportion-
ment of the $35, 100000 Centenary
Fund was put over the top" Wednes-
day, so far as the Pennington nj. f.
Church, South, is concerned. Its ap-
portionment was $500, which was
easily raised, together with some sur
plus, before the drive could be stop
ped. The success Of this enterprise
is most stimulating and encouraging
to the congregation in this city.
In celebration of the success of the
venture, Centenary Jubilee" was
given Wednesday evening, in the base
ment of the church, at which prac-
tically the entire congregation was in
attendance, as we'll as many friends
of the church. A sumptuous supper,
which had been prepared by many
members of the congregation, was
served amid much enjoyment and mer-
riment.
In the talks that followed, stress
was laid on the wonderful good that
would most certainly result from the
part the churches would take in the
worlds reconstruction, as well as the
rich blessings in store for all contrib
utors to this enormous work in the
Masters vinyard. Among those who
spoke were: I. C. Marsh, Centenary
Director of Pennington District; Pre-
siding Elder II. P. Grove, Rev. o. H.
Duggins, and brief remarks by the
different team captains.

Inc Times mas mad mucn TO say, eS-
pecially during the last three years,
about the road question. During that
time the feasibility, practicability and
absolute need for the best possible
roadways have been discussed, from
many different viewpoints. But there
is still much to be said in favor of inn
proved road work, without repetition.
All of which tends to the conclusion
that there is no better way to spend
money, as an investment, than in put
ting it into improvement Of roads. In
fact, any good argument for good
roads-and all such arguments are
good, there being only one real side
to this question--will bear repetition,
as they necessarily have for their ba-
sis the improvement of the country as
well as the betterment of the condi-
tions of each individual citizen.
But it is the improvement of the
roads of st. Francois county in which
this paper is most deeply interested
as we are convinced absolutely be-
yond the point of doubling, that such
improvement would add many times
the amount of such improvement to
the actual value of the property OF
this county. The roads of st. Fran
co.'s county have long been in far
better condition than those of most OF
the surrounding counties, many OF
them being rock roads, so that ever
yet there is a good, solid foundation
for much better roads. Practically
all that most of such rocked roads
need is a good surfacing to make Of
them perfect roads. ..
But even those rocked roads are
in many places, becoming badly worn
through lack of proper attention. Ev'
en- in them pockets, or holes, will be
finally worn, which holes should re-
ceive prompt attention. If proper re-
pair of them is neglected, then they
will in time become positive jogs
which may soon result in bogs, in the
natural course of disintegration. Meth
er does it require long stretch oi
time, in this day of much auto traffic
and travel, to reduce what was once
