The state senate refused to consider
the Creasy bills providing for the re
tention by counties of certain monies
received from personal
property taxes. This measure was
drawn in the interests of the rural
committees and the senate’s refusal to
act on the bill will add to the unpopu-

held by the Grangers of the Ntate.

His success he attributes largely to
the following :
First, He tries to live up to what he
preaches. This again demonstrates the
truth that no minister can preach with
convincing power what he has pot ex-
perienced to be true, and only & man of
mature years can have such ground
work for sermons.
Secondly, To continued habits of
study. So many preachers do not grow,
especially if they have an out-of-the~
way country charge. Why ? Because
they do not study. They buy no new
books. Mr, Roush keeps abreast of the
times theoretically. God does not
change but man in his interpretation of

The “ women " folks, neighbors of
D. W. Bradford, complain that the
hogs killed by Mr. Bradford are entire
ly too heavy for the conveuience of
the ** men’ folks who help him do
his slaughtering. Recently it was
necessary to secure the combined ef
fort of all hands—male nnd female—to
swing a porker. Judging from the
complaint laid in, the hog must have
been neatly as large as the one killed
by Mr. Bartges, but no record was
made of the weight.
