Substance. Golden Text: Prov

to be chosen than great riches, and
loving favour rather than silver
and gold. A Bible citation from
the lesson-sermon is: Titus 2:11,12
For the grace of God that bring
eth salvation hath appeared to all
men, Teaching us that, denying I'M
goodness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously,
and godly, in this present world. A
correlative passage from the Text
booq Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy is: Up. 301: 1920. AS God
is substance and man is the divine
image and likeness, man should
wish for, and in reality has, only
the substance of god, the substance
of Spirit, not matter.

Miss Saba Whitford, young
tragedienne, supported by Mr.. MAJ
Van Witzel, and company of
players, will perform at the Opera
House on the evening of Sept. ID.

About $4,000 gallons of water
are being pumped up at the water
station for daily use, varied some
what by the condition of the
weather, falling off few thousand
gallons when the streets do not
need sprinkling.
Most every evening last week,
sometime after darkness had shut
in, the pete" of the reed bird
could be heard some distance above
head. These birds always migrate
at night, and last week they were
thick ad dark.

Mark Scout, at Smyrna Landing,
has a Spanish chestnut tree ten or
twelve years old that is acting in
an ambitious way, as if trying to
show what the Landing can do this
year. 1t bloomed out as did the
other chestnut trees two months
ago, followed by setting of well
formed burs. Now the growth
above these is poisoning out
again, as if intended to duplicate
the crop, but it evidently hasn't
taken in the katydid's prophesy of
an early frost.
The smokey dense atmosphere
was so heavy on the river last
week that no lights could be seen
in any direction from Bombay
Hook, after Wednesday. This con-
dition of the atmosphere seems to
have prevailed over the whole
country, doubtless aided by the
forest fires that have prevailed over
the eastern, middle, and western
states.
Smyrna Landing, as a business
place, is now in its glory. True,
as compared with quarter of a
century ago, with its array of YES
sells, wood, slaves, lime, etc., there
is a transformation, but it is
business all the same. The most
feature just now is the
tomato canning establishment of
]. B. Counselman & Co. 1t is a

suggested that the salary Of the ABC
Board members be considered and
added that the present rate may
obstruct acquisition in future OF new
members"
THE attraction is hardly too much
to interest good people," the memo
randum stated.
Mr.. Payne called attention to the
fact that the salary was fixed when
the Beverage Act was written In 1888
and that since that time salaries
have generally increased, tax rates
have risen and the cost OF living has
increased 34.7 per cent. 1t also was
pointed out the "the $500 so-called
overtime is not allowed them"
Reduced by Taxes.
It was figured that the net result
of Federal tax increase reduces the
$1,000 to less than $500 in the case
of single person serving on the
board.
Mr.. Fowler has not yet made his
recommendation, it WIS understood.
He is said to be studying salaries of
comparable positions elsewhere.
