from there to the New River sec.
tion, living at different places in
that part of the county. He was

fessed change by grace about
the year 1885, and lived an CT.
derly, upright life from that
time on. He had been afflicted

business and his burial. On the
evening before the end came he
talked freely to the family about
heaven and their loved ones who
had preceded them to that bet.

know each other up there. He
told his sister he must die. and

Annual Meeting, Three Forks ". N. U.

The annual meeting of the w.
M. u. of the Three Fork Associ.
alton, met at Bethel Sept. 18th,
with a splendid attendance from
seven churches.
The annual sermon was preach
ed by Rev. f. M. Huggins at II
a. m. Subject; "Woman's devo-

1t was our great pleasure to
have with US the following visi-
tors: Rev. and Mrs. K. D. Stu
denbroke, Mrs. j. A, Boldin and
Mrs A. r. Barlow, who were
welcomed to our meeting.
The interest in WOman's work
is steadily increasing in this AS
sociation, but there is a great
work to be done yet, for out of
thirty-six churches in the associ-
alton, only eight have a mis- siona.
ry society.
Reports from the societies were
encourage showing an increased
effort on the part of the women
to make their societies grow,
and the papers that were read
showed that much time and
thought had been used in prepar-
ing them, and the talks that
were made were full of the Spir-
it.
The address given by Mrs. J.
A. Boldin on Annual Enlistment
in the society, and reaching the
uninlisted church" was both in
forming and inspiring.
The music was efficiently rem
dered by Mrs. A. r. Barlow. The
afternoon devotional was led by
Mrs. Studenbroke, reading the
three commissions of our Lord,
and a great spiritual atmosphere
pervaded the meeting as mum.
bers of scripture verses were re.
cietd on the new birth.
In the absence of Mrs. w. W.
Wilson, who was sick at the time
of this meeting, the Union voted
to send a word of greeting.
A mission study class demon
stration was conducted by Mrs.
Studenbrock, using "All tn e
World in All the World" Rev.
StudenbrOke made encouraging
remarks.
The next meeting Of this Un-
ion will be held with Beaver Dam
church on Saturday before the
second Sunday in Sept, 1921.

lected for the ensuing year: Mrs.

WHY a Roosevelt RepubIlcan Favers Cox.


&c. N. Willard in N. Y. World.)
l have voted the Republican
ticket since 1880, my first vote
going to James A. Garfield. l
have swallowed the Harding dose
to the best of my ability, until
nature revolted and forced me to
support the red. blooded, hard
hitting James M. Cox, Briefly
stated, my reasons are as fol-
lows:
1 am for the League of Ma
tions; not a league or an associa-
tion of nations promised bv Har-
ding at some future time with
the bludgeon of Hiram Johnson
in the background. I cannot un-
derstand the platitudes of Har-
ding or his struggling grammar
on this question, but I do under
stand the language of Cox: II am
in favor of going in."
As a follower of Roosevelt 1
am for progress and not retro
gression. Cox as Governor Of O.
hio has been 20 siti We, fearless,
resourceful, and his a C h ev e.
ments are written in good black
ink in the history of Ohio. Har-
ding as a Senator has been mega
ative and has been simply as
voting unit for the forces of reac-
tion. No better index to his hab-
it of thought and action can be
found than his objection to the
forward-looking constitution of
Ohio, which he declared would
tear Ohio from her moorings."
Through all her industrial troub-
le not a shot was heard through
all Ohio, and James M. Cox was
her able executive.
1 prefer the humane stand of
President Wilson and Secretary
Colby on the Polish question to
the attitude Of Harding: 1T is no
concern of ours" 1t is unthinka-
BILE that a selfish, conceited A.
merica should wrap herself in
the Stars and Stripes and turn
her back on outraged Armenian
womanhood and Poland's plight.
Equally amazing for a man of
caution" as Harding is suppos
ed to be, to declare: There will
be complete reversal of our for.
eign policy"
There is good reason for belief
that a large body of our voters
give no thought to the issues of
the day, but, actuated by feel
ing of retaliation only, seek re-
venge on James M. Cox for a fan
cied grievance against the Presi.
dent. Their grievance is the win
ming of the war, and the same
incldious propaganda is again
directed at the government via
the punishment of a Democratic
administration. Shall the gospel
of hate, retaliation and malice
supplant the rule of reason? l
know no such creed, and as an
American, not a Republican, re-
fuse to aid in the consummation

RE USE TO PAY TAX
FOR HANNEGAN ROAD

Paving Does Not Benefit Their
Property Directly

On the grounds that the farmers
have no natural outlet over the Han
negan road, and are therefore not
benefited directly by the improve
ment, a second suit has been filed
against the county commissioners
asking that the assessments be set
aside.
The suit asks a permanent injunc-
tion against the county. preventing
the collection of assessments and for
the annulment of the assessment. The
complaint also cites the fact that the
petitions under which the road dis
trict was formed were improperly
drawn, that the assessments were un-
equally distributed, and that $685.
600 item is included for the building
of bridge, which should have been
drawn against the county bridge
fund.

The poultry building was new. and
was a model of it's kind. No insur-
ance was carried.
At eight o'clock. Mr.. Ripperda put
out the lights in the house and also
the light in the sprouter that was
in the feed room.
