NASSAU

There will be revival services at
Whites Chapel beginning Tuesday
night.
White potatoes are being loaded
here by CIendaniel and Vicks. They
are paying so and 65 cents per bush
ell
The new church, known as Whites
Chapel, was dedicated Sunday. 1t is a
fine edifice, as it contains all the
modern improvements, having a fine
basement, electric lighted and pipe
less heated. Sunday was one of the
worst days this winter, and the ded-
ication services went on just the same
and the church was crowded for the
morning service. The audience was
spell-bound for about one hour by one
of the most instructive sermons,
which was delivered by DR.. w. r.
Mowbray, District Superintendent.
Harmony has prevailed throughout
the entire time of erection of this
church. AS far as there can be learn
ed, there has never been any dispute
between the pastor or the workers.To
prove that harmony prevailed-out of
the small audience-that is, as to
comparison with what would have
been present at the morning session
with good weather. and taking into
consideration that great number of
those present had already contribut-
ed, there was raised about $50000,
leaving at time Of closing of morning
service, 100000. The afternoon ses-
sion, which was supposed to have been
the big letter session, was not as great
as expected-due to the severe storm
that prevailed; but nevertheless, the
church was fairly fflled-even if they
were compelled to drive for miles in
the binding snow; which only goes to
prove that this community is more
than proud to have such fine church
in their district. The Rev. H. E. Reed
of Milton, preached a very strong
sermon in the afternoon, after which
the Revs. w. R. Mowbray, Reed and
the pastor, L. T. McClain, dedicated
the church. Contributions were taken
and another $4,000 was raised, leav-
ing less than $4,000 due on this
grand building which cost around $S,-
900. The committee and pastor deserve
a great deal of credit and should have
the praise of all the community.

1t goes without saying that bags Of
all sorts are among those gifts that
are always welcome. There are many
new ones this year made of coarse
canvas, or unbleached linen and
trimmed with narrow satin ribbon
and ribbon flowers. Baby ribbon may
be drawn through the interstices Of
the canvas. Drawing threads out Of
either the canvas or linen makes it
possible to weave wider ribbons over
and under the remaining threads, in
borders or ornaments. Flowers cut
from cotton or linen, in various col
ors, are applied to the linen bags and
buttOnhOled along their edges with
cotton floss or yarn. A case for hold
ing playing cards and a bag which
may be put to various uses are shown
above in gifts suited to either men
or women.

by never neglecting Sore Throat. You can
wisely depend upon TONSILINE. Give
Tonsiline upon the first appearance of Sore
Throat don't give Diphtheria chance
in that throat in its weakened condition.
When TONSILINE is swallowed it comes
directly in contact with the diseased sur

A. THE GOLF CLUB.
Independence Man Here Last Night
Met With Our Golf Enthusiasts

Last evening Mr.. Don Donnan, of
independence, the gentleman who or
ganized the independence golf club
was in DEBORAH and met with about
80 Decorahians at the city hall, and
gave an outline of organizing. a golf
club.
The property near the City Park
mentioned last week did not meet
the requirements for course in Mr..
Domains estimation, and number
of other places were discussed, and
several good places are in view now,
members looking them over this
morning, but no decision has been
made yet.
The club will be limited to 100
members and after it is filled no
more will be taken in until there is a
vacancy. Mr.. G. F. Baker and Mr..
A. Leytze are organizing the club,
and it is expected that it will soon
be under way, and a good course Sc
lected.

Narrow Roads.

In the early days of the good
roads movement, there was a strong
tendency to build narrow roads. 1t
was figured that you could build a
IL foot road so per cent further
than. You could an Is foot track. Ex-
cept when you have to turn out,
the narrow road was claimed to be
just as good.
But is it? In some localities a
good many miles Of brick road only
nine feet wide have been laid. Conse-
quently the traffic was forced to
take the center Of the street, and
wheel tracks have been created. On
some roads there will be ruts two or
three inches deep. Also on a narrow
road, cars must constantly turn out
with one wheel on earth surface.
When the wheels pass on and off the
hard paving, the shoulder is torn
out, and soon the road keeps narrow
ing up.
A wider road distributes the traffic
evenly, so that it lasts longer. In
most cases in the state Of Iowa a
street with traffic enough to pay for
hard paving, has traffic enough for
a fairly wide roadway. One of IS
feet will last much longer than one
of 10 to ID.
