VISITS POOR

Are Not Satisfied With Sanitary Conditions—Praise Superintendent

Freeman Smith and Wife.

The County Board of Charities made their regular pilgrimage to inspect the county farm and buildings Wednesday and they report .the sanitary conditions very unsatisfactory. The sewerage system, which was put in some time ago, they say is incomplete and unsatisfactory. It was put in without a ti*ap and the ditch is sunken an average of about .ten inches. About fifty per cent of the down spouts on the building are unconnected, allowing the water to run into the cellar. In the cellar is an abandoned well, they say, and when they raised the boards, a swarm of mosquitoes arose to greet them. The Board is very much displeased with "the general sanitary conditions which comes outside of the superintendent's power and authority to change or make right.

Their objections are summed up as follows: First, no sewer trap. Second, ditch sunken. .Third, although the sewer has been in five months, the downspout connections have not been made. Fourth, the open pit in the cellar making a breeding place for mosquitoes, which are deadly enemies of health.

Anew heating plant is needed, but there is no appropriation available until next year for tlais purpose. A deep weU has been completed and capped and it is the purpose to attach an engine and force the water over the big building wherever needed.

One thing that the Board has been working for has been performed and that is the building of a cottage for tubercular inmates. It is a one room affair, 12x12 feet, heated by fireplace, hich helps the ventilation. It has a large veranda on the south and is comfortable any kind of weather.

The Board has the highest praise for the superintendent, Mr. Smith, &nd his wife regarding their work and management. The custodians are doing all they can with the means at liand.

Mrs. Smith's housekeeping is as neat as a pih, they say, and she has prepared and stored away 107 gallons of kraut, 205 quarts of tomatoes, half a dozen square yards of celery banked in the cellar, potatoes and other vegetables enough to last the inmates well.

The Board found the largest number of inmates there they have ever found. There are twenty, eleven males and nine females.

Mr. Smith has a fine lot of hogs, cows, etc. and good crops. He made the farm more than pay the expenses last year. At the jail the Board found the sanitary conditions all they could be made under the circumstances.

II BIG SALE

IN GREAT REVIVAL

Chicago Papers Give High Praise to Singing of Ernest Naftzger of This City. ...

The religious people of Greenfield iid especially the members of the Bradley M. E. chu-oh will be interested in the jr eat viva! .meeting being conducted at by Dr. Chapman assisted b„ L^resti Naftzger, of this city, as singing evai^alist. Ernest Naftzger id a sc of the Bradley M. E. church pasr, Dr. L. J. Naftzger, of this city.

The Chicago Inter Ocean of Tuesday, after giving strong statements as to the wonderful meeting and the impression made upon the audience of 4,000 people said: Ernest Naftzger, whose sermons in song have swayed thousands of people in Chicago during the past four weeks, sang an invitational hynm at the opening Of the service. "You Must Do Something With Jesus Tonight." He sang it as if his heart was being poured into the magic melody. He sang it with tears blinding his eyes. He sang it with an indescribable pathos in his voice, a wonderful pleading.

And as he finished Dr. Chapman rose and gave the invitation. He had not even announced the text of his discourse. A clergyman's message was unnecessary. Ernest Naftzger had preached a powerful sermon.

Before Naftzger's song was sung, Mr. Charles M. Alexander had unified the congrgation, as it were, by means of a choral service the like of which has seldom been heard in Chicago.

Preceeding Sermon at Methodst Revival—District Superintendent Present.

An old time praise service was held Friday night, preceeding the sermon at the Methodist revival. The church people took the opportunity to tell of their expectation^ for the series of meetings and were well prepared to receive the sermon on work, a basis for which was the passage of scripture found in Luke 14-23, "Go Ye Out Into The Highways and the Hedges and Compel Them to come in." "As in the days when this command was given, people of today are ever ready to make excuses," the pastor said. Some plead business, some pleasure and some other things. The pastor painted a vivid word picture of the splendid feast to which all nations are invited and plead with Greenfield church to go out and invite men in every walk of life to be partakers of the feast, especially during the present revival services.

Dr. Thomas M. Guild, district superintendent, was present and took part in the alter service. There will be no service this evening but there will be services Sunday morning and evening. The pastor is planning a fast day service for Tuesday of next week.

He Drew Two Fines.

Elbert Holden ran amuck Thanks giving day and was arrested and find on two charges. He drew $5 and costs on a charge of public indecency and $3 and costs on a charge of drunk, making |28 in all. He stayed the fines.

BIBLE STANDARD A

Presented by Rev. Rhoades in Sermon at Methodist Revival—"No Service Saturday Night.

At the revival service at the Bradley Methodist church Thursday evening Rev. Rhoades, of the M. P. chrch preached a most excellent and pointed sermon on the subject, "A Christian." He presented the Bible standard for a christian.in plain terms, according to the scripture. "The Bible," he said, "is the Christian's book and when one undertakes to live a christian life without the Bible* that person makes a failure."

Rev. Rhoades interpreted the Bible standard to mean that one must be a christian in name, a professional christian and a christian at heart, or a genuine christian. A real disciple of Christ, a learner, to live a life of sacrifice, without selfishness. This is the standard by which the Christian is to live and to conform their lives. Man is lost by nature if not a christian according to the scripture quoted and preached by Rev. Rhoades and to become a christian, the first thing is to believe on Christ.

During the entire sermon, scripture was quoted freely by Rev. Rhoades in making his points and his sermon had the function of a measuring stick for the hearers to apply to their lives. The sermon was preceded by a song service, in which the pastor. Rev. Naftzger sang a golo, "Does Jesus Care?" by request. There will be services tonight, but none will be held Saturday night, as the pastor said he wanted everyone to get rested up and ready for the services Sunday.

The C. Y. C. met at the home of Mrs. G. W. Scott Nov. 16,* with Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Kauble as hostesses.

At 1:30 the guests began to arrive until they numbered between fifty and sixty. The principal work of the afternoon was given by Mrs. J. H. Barrett in telling about the South, (Florida.) She gave a very vivid picture of places and things in and around St. Petersburg, the gulf coast and St. Augustine, together with illustrations and numerous specimens of shells, ostrich feathers (she saw fall from the bird while on an ostrich farm), scales, grass, handiwork, etc. Refreshments of cream, cake, punch and mints were served.
