doubt seriously whethr there would
have been change In the situation
in the event the Democrats had re-
NAMED in power. This going to
pieces OF the markets and prices In
general seems TO have been as newt
able as the laws OF nature. 1t Just
had to be. There is one funny thing
about the whole business, and that
is. that the laugh is on the crowd of
Democrats that voted the
Republican ticket believing the
markets would advance. They are
now placed in a position of parting
with both their democracy and their
products at Exceedingly low prices

Our HcsignnliOn.

After four and half years of
most pleasant service together as
pastor and people. we gave our res
ignation last Sunday night to take
effect ON the first OF December The
resignation came at the else of a very
gracious service. and many were the
tears and sobs from all parts of the
audience 1t is always sad TO say
goodbye. but such is the way with
this world and will be the way TT
the end OF time.
All the expressions OF love and
gratitude we greatly appreciated, and
nothing but the conscious feeling
that we are doing the will OF God,
could ever move MS from the good
people of Snyder. whose we have
been and whom we have tried TO
serve. Our hearts go out in tenderest
Christian love for al the people. and
the fact that we have TO leave them
has grieved us more than tongue
can tell.
We go TO the most important and
strategic field in West Texas. and
will go with the prayer that the
Lord will make us tit for the great
task to which he has called us.
Though we shell not leave at once.
yet the pastor win begin his work on
the new field on the first Of December
Though the service Sunday night will
be our last together. yet we hope to
see much of each other for many
days yet, and then often in tn" fu-
turc.
We hope that some time little lat
ar we may be able to arrange social
FOR all our friends. at which time the
/ final good byes will be given.
May the Lords blessings rest upon
our people and may is Divine Spirit
lead them to great and good pastor
20 take up the work where we have
TO lay IL down.

The most spectacular act in the history of vaudeville is coming to the Orpheo theater, Thursday. It is the Overseas Revue" a forty minute condensed version of the Broadway production of the same name which was the sensation of New York. In senic effects it surpasses the major ity of big musical comedy and legit- innate productions. It's cast numbers the names of New York musical com edy favorites.
 The music, especially written for the revue, is reproduced in the vaude- ville version under the direction oi a special conductor carried with the company. W
 An overseas beauty chorus is not the least of the acts surpassing at fractions, and among the principals are Mile. Lef Roy, French beauty, who takes the part of Madelon. In addition there areS Blanche Latell, who has gbeen principal in Broad way productions, also Rene Braham and Peggy sBurns, noted beauties. The featured comedian is Billy c. Welp, who was last featured in New York musical comedy success, Lets Co., The entire production is so very much out of the ordinary as to make it's tour of the Loew Circuit one of the most noted events in Southern vaudeville history. adv.

 Miss Eulon Lewey, postmistress al Rosboro, Ark, is also doing valiant work, and in the dull days of August her sales of securities offered by the United States Government indi- cated no lack of thrift among her pat rons, and her sales for September are running far ahead of any month since she was installed in her position of trust.

"My own doctor told me that I needed Genlax, and said that he him self would give me back my money if it didn't help me-" testified J. H.. Kelly, a well known farmer who lives at Round Pond, Arkansas.
 q had suffered so long that had lost faith in medicine of any kind. asked my doctor about taking Gen lax and he said it was guaranteed for troubles like I had, by the peo- pie who make it, and that he would also guarantee it to me, and that con- vinced me that it was real medicine.
 q was all run down every way, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, got up every morning feeling like I hadn't been to bed. My stomach and bowels were out of shape every way, and I have been like that for eight years and nothing has ever done me any good
 "One bottle of Gen-Lax has given me such an appetite that can hard ly get enough to eat, and I have gain ed several pounds. am feeling like young man again, for I sleep like log, and have more "pep" than q two year old. The constipation bow el throuble and run down condition is gone and am like new man. Gen-Lax sure does the work and I have just bought six more bottles" {"

Big Game Drive
 On in Zululand

Johannesburg, South Africa, Sept. 26.-A great game drive is in pro- gress in Zululand, with the object of stopping the ravages of the tsetse fly, which is fatal to equines and botines.
 Whole tribes of Zulus, attracted by the prospect of unlimited meat, are taking part in the drive. They are mostly armed with assagais, the na- tive spears.
 It is thought, however, that the size of the drive is defeating it's own ob- ject. The wild creatures have be- come panic stricken and the ludic- roNs situation now exists of the hunt CTS having become the hunted.
 The great cordon of white men and zulus has been broken in several places by charging herds of frantic zebra and other animals, and the hunters have been compelled to split up into small parties for their own safety.

Rum Runners to
 Make Millions

Detroit, Mich., Sept. 25.-Profits running into millions of dollars will be taken by rum runners operating between Canada and the Detroit dis trict during 1920, according to esti- mates based upon figures by Ameri- can and Canadian revenue officers. In some quarters the estimates of prof. it from illicit liquor sales run as high as $100,OO0,0 ,00O for the present year.
 Stories of fortunes made over night and of scores of liquor rings ranging in size and operations from groups of Canadian farmer boys who buy and sell whiskey by the quart to "liquor brokers" whose sales are measured in terms of boat loads, are being heard along both sides of the international boundary between Michigan and Ontario.
 Prohibition enforcement agents are greatly hampered by lack of motor boats. It is said to be practically i'm possible to catch whiskey smuggling without fast craft.

 The premium on three-year-old mule colts and Jersey cows was given to James Hamilton. Demon strations in the use of the tractor were made by representatives of the F. G. Smart Auto Company, of Pine Bluff. The day was not lacking in amusements, and re- treatments were served as part of the program.

Orders Officer
 to Remove Spurs

Vienna, Sept. 25.-A former of- f;cer of the Austrian army was walk ing through poor quarter or the citv in full uniform when a work men's councillor ordered him to re- move his clanking spurs. An alter cation ensued leading to suit oy the officer for defamation. The court cave him damages to the amount o1 [ OOO crowns and told him he could wear the splendor of his former es- tate when and where he would. The workmen's councillor pleaded that he and his neighbors objected to such a reminder of the old time authority of the military class.
 Since the ratification of the treaty, officers in the full uniform of the old army with breastloads of medals and decorations have become very much in evidence on the prone nades. Many of them say their unl- forms are the only decent clothes they have.

of the Methodist Centenary fund Bishop Homer c. Stuntz, resident bishop of Omaha, told the annual Des Moines conference of the Methodist Episcopal church here today.
 He said that $710,000 had been a,- lotted from the centenary funds for caring for negroes that had come m into the north.
 Hundreds of thousand have come to the north with nothing" he said "They simply swamp the little churches provided for the small ne- gro populations which were living in northern centers before these floods started from the South.
 He reported that $30C,OO0 had been appropriated for "good will" indus. tries in large cities. "These indus tries," he said, "place clothing, fur. niture, boots and shoes, and loyino human fellowship at the disposal of tens of thousands in our crowded centers."
 For work in industrial centers such as Flint, Mich, where develon. ment of the community had been un. usually rapid, Bishop Stuntz said about S1,000,000 has been set apart Over $250,000 had been spent in help. ing deserving soldiers and sailors resume their educational work or gt to college.
