Rev. C. S. Sparkes Will
Not Give Up Passionate
COngregationalists Raise Salary of
Their Minister $500 Per year
at Meeting Wednesday

The members of the Congregational
church have been greatly exercised
for the past week when it became
known that the Marshal church were
angling for the services of their pas
tor, Rev. C. S. Sparkes.
Rev. Sparkts had been invited to
visit Marshall Sunday next and oc-
cupy the pulpit with view of con-
sidering call to the pastorate in
that city, should it come to him Off
cially.
Monday evening Of this week the
official board of the church met at
the parsonage. Rev. Sparkes stated
that he had no desire to leave the
local pastorate and that the only
reason he was considering the change
was because Of economic conditions.
At this mteting he stated that he
would be willing to remain in Sank
Centre if his salary was increased
from $1,400 to $1,000 per year.
The members of the congregation
met at the church last evening to
discuss ways and means Of retaining
the pastor. A fair representation OF
the membership were present and it
was the unanimous concensus that
the thought Of Mr.. Sparkes leaving
the Passionate was not to be enter
tanned. During the three years and
four months he has served the local
church as pastor, the church mem
bership has enjoyed an unusual
growth. the, Sunday Sccool has been
thoroughly reorganized and the mem
bership increased to such an extent
that it would be district credit to q
church much more pretentious than
the Sank Centre church.
However, it is in their daily con-
tact with the people of the church
which has endeared Rev. and Mrs.
Sparkes to Sank Centre folks.
The upshot Of Wednesday evsD-
ing's meeting was that motion was
passed unanimously in which the con-
gregation pledged to pay their pastor
not the 81 300 he agreed to remain
for but the $4,000 which he would
receive if he made the change. Ad-
ditional subscriptions were called fol-
and in a very short TINT 20 pledges
| to the amount Of 1884 were received
to make up the b lance needed to
pay the pastor $4,000. The trustees
will call on members Of the congre-
cation not present and the balance
needed will be Forthcoming beyond a
doubt.
The pastor was sent for and in
formed what had been done. He
made a happy little talk thanking the
congregation for the very material
manner in which they had shown
their confidence and love, stating that
with that feeling in evidence there
wasn't the least reason in the world
why the church should not accom-
plish even more in the future than II
had in the past.
Following the meeting the ladies
of the church served light lunch.

AN OLD FASHION EASTER

! The sight of snow on the ground
may have been novelty to some OF
MS. but the weather conditions here
Easter week cannot even be compar-
ed with the manner in which Old man
winter treated Easter week in Sank
Centre fifty-five years ago.. Mrs.
Joseph Capser, who has made hec c
home in Sank Centre for the past 56
years, is authority for the inform,
alton that she remembers very well
Easter Sunday IS years ago when
people waded through from ten to
twelve feet Of snow to the stockad as
which stood where the corner OF
Birch and street is now situated: Mrs.
Capser in relating the story told how
the log cabins Of the pioneer settlers
at the stockade were not adequate TO
meet the demands Of the weather and
how it was necessary that Easter
morning to sweep the snow from
within the house where it had drift
ed during the night.

West Union AdvertiSeS
Matrimonial Eligibles
Just Heaps OF New Things
There Dispatch
J. Saws

There are just heaps of nice young
things-barbers, bank clerks, schcoi
masters and everything, out at West
Union who are waiting the turn OF
the dial of this Leap Year PERIOD,
according to the West Union d1spaecn
in the Osalis Review last week.
Most of these young elgibles are
lust hankerin for the attention OF
some comedy, thrifty girl, but &C
cording to the dispatch, they are graz
ing in pastures afar off from the SER
ious Intentions of the sweet young
damsels of West Union.
And the writer of the West Union
story is, straight forward in his as
sertions. Yes Stree. He publishes
stipulations and everything. One OF
the young hopefuls who by his name
might have been a prize fighter, is
said to consider this year his one ana
only opportunity.
Some of these fathers of gener-
atoms to come; are said to be already
under the microscope, while the most
of them are trailing along with an
eagle eye on the III. G. L, and q
weather-eye to the starboard with all
studdng sail set against the gales OF
matrimonial seas.

ought to show signs Of a prosperous
season should the Information OF ex-
isting circumstances get into the
hands of an enterprizing matrlmon-

There were one or two surprises in
the aldermanic contests. It was
generally :, conceded that John A.
Brown would be elected for the one
year term. His past experience on
the council from which he voluntarily
retired two years ago, made him the
logical man to serve, if he. could be
prevailed upon to make the race. He
absolutely refused to consider the
proposition at first. When it was put
up toshim as public duty he reluctant
ly consented to stand for the one
term. He received 1892 votes
/ against total of 81 for S. G. Sch

Herald predicts that Mr.. Brown vii
