him it means increased trade. The

one and every business house in the
city can well afford to close from two
until four to hear this program. No
request will he made to this effect
b> the committee but it is hoiwd
that every one who can possibly do
so will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to hear thesf* men who not
only preach the gospel of good roads
but tell howr they may be obtained.

elected as elders and deacons of the
Main Street Christian church. These
geutlemen will be installed at the

l»er of our congregation that we show
our appreciation of their merit and
the acceptance of this service Let
every one who can possibly do so be
present Sunday morning

property was sold for taxes in Louis-

chasers were given to understand that

cause there s but a cruet of earth over
a bog into which one might fall am'
