Predicting Long Term The attorneys are predicting that the September term of the Gentry circuit court, which is in session this week, will be a long one. There are 33 or -10 criminal cases docketed, and some GO civil eases, many of them being important enough to consume much time if they shall come to trial. Red Sox Beat Maryville The Stanberry Red Sox defeated the Maryville ball team at Maryville Sunday by a scoreof Ito 0. The Stanberry team played good ball and had the game safe all the way in spite of the favoritism shown by the umpire to Maryville, The feature of the game was the fast infield work of the Red Sox and the fielding of Hawthorne in right field.

Ragan and Varc were the battery for Stanberry and Smith and Depew for Maryville. A large crowd witnessed the game. Dry Weather Chips Mrs. Grundy says: That wranglers never want fi words. That gossipers and- tattling women are classed with liars outs'ule of tho city.

Paul said, "beware of dogs." He meant two logged dogs. That the receiver of a lie is as bad as a thief. That it's "human to err, but divine to forgive." Its an old saying but a true one, "Search others for their virtues; thyself for thy faults." That self-perservation is tie first law of nature. That one bad example spoils many Rood precepts. That one "scabbed" sheep will destroy a whole flock.

That a Christian rebuke is baiter than secret hatred. (Contiuued on yajco 8) Ma; 1906 Ilii.kl, orf O'l daui-'ii ley (. i orf or Co. Will liV Monday, September 3, 1 o'clock p. at the Parsonage, Miss Lottie and Ma Wid Joseph.

Think It Over Would it not bo a good idea if the citizens of Stanberry would start a subscription paper and every one that could, subscribe a small amount to be paid monthly to have our little city lighted with electric lights? Th? electric light company have made the city a good proposition in which they will put four arc lights in the business part of town and a light on every corner of the residence part of the city. We think thio amount could be easily raised by the citizens of Stanberry, which would benefit the citizens and town more than anything else we know of. Now let everybody talk it over and all work for the town and not lay around and knock about this and that and claim that you could run the city better than anyone else, but boost the thing along. To Be Triad in the Courts, We understand that Judge DeBord, as attorney for the interested dealers has filed papers in the circuit court contesting the legality of the local option election held last month. The contest will be made upon alleged irregularities in the holding cf the election.

The state statutes provide that local option elections be held under the same conditions and provisions that apply to general "elections. It is contended that the election should have been regularly advertised by the posting of the cards and regulations beforehand, and that booths should have been provided at each polling place, the same as if holding a general election. There is a wide difference of opinion among lawyers as to the vitnlity of tnese conditions, but it seems 'that they are to be fought out and finally decided in in the courts. Don't forget the Red hog sale during the stock show. Twenty-five cents will secuie the Owl to January 1907.

1 Our trip to the Michigan State Conference was full of interest. Accompanied by Mrs. Long and Eld. Seth Munger, we took the Chicago Great Western railroad for the city of Chicago. Chicago has increased wonderfully the past few years in size and wealth, but not a particle in Wickedness is dominant, yet much good is being done in many ways and no doubt but what there will be souls saved in Chicago in the great day of the Lord's coming.

In passing up and down its main streets one almost concludes in seeing the vast crowds that everybody is away from home. Thousands congregate in the parks during the hot weather. Lincoln Park has its attractions and they never grow old. A new attraction, however, in Lincoln Park in the managerie is worth the mentioning. Several weeks ago a leading daily paper in the city announced on Saturday that a baby monkey was born that morning in the park and on Sunday, 50,000 people went out to see it So much for newspaper advertising and sight-seeing.

After leaving Chicago, we arrived at the home of Eld. L. J. Branch, Bangor, Michigan, where we were made welcome and royally entertained. Bro.

Branch is pastor of the Church of God in the city and is highly esteemed in and out of the church. A move is on foot to build a house of worship which will be completed this fall. From Bangor we took the train over the Pere Marquette railroad for Grand Rapids and from there to White Cloud.Michi-gan, where the state meeting was held. Here is. where the sanitarium i3 located with Dr.

J. C. Branch at the head of it. Our stay at the sanatarium was very pleasant and from which place we attended the meetings. The meetings were interesting throughout and resulted in 22 confessions and 13 baptisms.

Michigan with its good climate, good soil, abundance of fruit and close to market, makes it a desirable place to live. Thousands and thousands from Chicago go there during the hot months and build up resorts around some of its beautiful lakes and enjoy themselves in fishing, bathing, an.d thus escape the extreme heat of the city. Altogether our trip was an enjoyable one. AS WE 60 TO PRESS D. F.
