They agreed to furnish 75 feet free of charge and estimated the total coat of the work to be $6, but the contract was worded “65 cents per foot for as much as it takes, Friday another oily individual ap~ peared, and astounded Mr. Lewis by demanding advance payment by note of $200, which he said would be the total cost of putting up the rods. Mr, Lewis objected, and the persistent agent then suggested a compromise by which Mr. Lewis should give him $76 and get no rods at all, By his smooth taking he finally succeeded in obtaining from the the farmer $25 in cash and a note for $45.

Mr, Runkle enjoys a floency of speech, and a composure in the pul pit that are not frequent in embryo mins isters, | Mileage Books May Drop.

One of those “church fights,” which generally prodace a harvest of bitter herbs by engendering uncharitable feels ing, which in many instances are not overcome for years, is now on in what is tion, near Reedsville, This time it is & change of church site that creates the trouble. The building on the old site, on & hill about & mile from that village, needs repairs, and this fact has revived the question of removal, which in a mild form bad agitated the minds of some of | Reedsville has been rapidly improving for the past couple of years, and the desire to boom the place was the sap that gave life to the root of bitterness that has sprung up among this sturdy Presbyterian flock, In agitating the question of repairs, the trustees found that the removal ele- ment was strong and active and it soon developed into a movement of no small proportions. It was here the dividing line was struck. Bome thirty~three families represent the pro and twenty~ three families the con in the matter Congregational meetings were held, and a8 a result it was resolved to have a coms mitte look for a lot in the town and take subscriptions for « new church building, but as a pacific measure the committee was instructed also to ascertain what amounts any were willing to contribute to the repair of the old church. The people in favor of a change subs scribed $10,000 for a new building, a corper lot was secured in the town, and it seems they are having thiogs their own way. Meantime the respectable minority, chagrined-and unpacified, are left to the alterpative of repairing the old church or contributing to the new, and being opposed to the removal for various good reasons they will hardly take hold of that horn of the dilemma.
