Rev. Hobbes is a fine leader oi

Hobbs, like David, is a sweet
singer and at the same time a

see him—he is marked by a life
of consecration.
Rev. Burke has the marks oi
sin upon him and as soon as you
see him, you will say: “A sin

great preacher, a face-maker,
impersonator, actor and SOUL
WINNER for CHRIST. He is
gloriously saved and knows it
and wants others to have that
same great joy and he is telling
them about it in a common sense
way.
Last night he told how to be
saved and told it well. Tonight
he will talk about “Your Life, or
Is Life Worth Living?” and if
you miss this you will miss what

tucked ii#s every available cor

weird look and one at once felt
like the ‘goblins will get you.”
On approaching the house the
guests were greeted by a naugh
■ ty Jack-’o, which showed Signs
of old age from the loss of teeth.
At the door a ghost received the
guests, introduced them to “Ich
abod Crane” and invited them |o
a cozy corner, where’a fairy was
serving glasses of delicious fruit
punch. This made them feel like
having their fortune told and the

most plentiful.
The young people went out in
in wagons and in advance parties
were sent who had a roaring
camp fire and coffee made for
the hunters.
A real chase for a coon was
enjoyed with good results and
ended up with spreading an ap«
etizing lunch around the camp
fires.

Champion fcorn and Potatoes JjC
Last spring, while John Hohn *'
was planting corn on the farm of ■ !
Dr. Z. L. Ford near Elgin, the re- 'M
mark was made in a jocular way
by some of his neighbors that
“John was boring a big hole with ^
a little augur.” Now it is Mr. f 1J
Hohn’s turn to laugh for the
corn planted on May 17 is as
good as any raised in the state, r |
Six ears are on exhibit at Inde- - j
pendent office, each being 12 /
inches long and well filled, the
corn being of the yellow variety.
Besides the corn, Mr. Hohn filled hW
“those holes” with big sweet po- ,'dfl
tatoes and samples brought here 'M
weighed 6 pounds each. Howev
er, the editor has not retained
them for exhibit purposes, as j"
we desired to also test the eat- - j
ing qualities of such potatoes. s J|

patrons Of installing the “flash
light,” or common *battery sys
tem, the residence rate to be ad
vanced to $2.00 and business

said to meet with general favor,

The-telephone service here is
excellent now and under the
proposed system where all wires
are charged by motor, parlies
talking merely take down the re
ceiver to gej^ientral. Mr. Stim
son says th® the new rates are
those paid in all cities where
such Service is enjoyed.
