County, Treasurer w. M Cox told
Dispatch reporter last evening in
connection with the announcement
tnat Monday is the last day for pay
ing taxes; that the supreme court has
not yet handed down its decision on
the disputed grazing land tax and this

In 1925 the county assessors placed
the grazing land tax at So, The state

assessment and ordered the tax raised
to So. The Cochise county board OF
supervisors declined to change the as
sossment and the matter went to court
where it progressed.
The supreme court has now heard
the matter and decision is expected

that as soon as that decision is rend-
cred those with grazing land assess
ments will be notified that their tax

WINSETT anti
CHRIST DRAMA
ATTRACTS MANY

Evangelist Winsett was at his best
last night in the delivery of his mess
age on the Great Drama of the Anti
Christi one of the largest crowds
vet assembled to hear him. Some
rumors Of the day about some of the
utterances of. the evangelist no doubt
drew quite a number He said that he
rarely ever started meeting but that
the devil starts TO kicking about it. In
no uncertain sound he gave warning
to any who might seek to do him any
personal injury because of any OF his
utteranceS from the platform.
Launching into his message he said
in part:
The dispensation next to come is
the rule and reign OF the anti-Christ,
after that Jesus has come to gather
his people to himself to the marriage
suuper Of the lamb. The slogan that
went out lust before the breaking out
of the great World war was "a war
less world,Y gotten out by Leon Trot-
slky. a New York Jew, the purpose OF
which was to break down world arma-
ment. The modernists are now taking
up the same slogan, but Jesus himself

ing and being deceived There is now
an epidemic of suicide i'll American
schools due to the atheistic teaching
of the school, pestilences and earth
uuakes and disasters Of all kinds are
now upon the earth.
EVANGELIST Winset gave description
of the rule of the anti-Christ when
he shall come to world power that was
a most horrible picture. He said t4aV
lawlessness will reign supreme, there
will be no restraining power OF any
kind to hinder, for the holy spirit Will
be taken away, and men will be lett
to the workings of their unrestrained
passions of every kind. Men will want
to die and cannot. The styles OF that
tir1 will be the extreme of what they
are now in trend Vice will be virtue
and the devil will be the guide OF all
earth's millions under the anti-Chrlst
He made a, most earnest appeal that
every one get right with God and be
able to. escape the terribleneSs OF the
anti -Christ's rule.
The Sunday services will be at II o.
m. and 7:3O D. M The morning serv-
ice on Monday will be dispensed With,
but at 1880. Monday night Rev Winsett
will give a sermon that will cause more
comment locally than any sermon ne
