The U. B. people are still protracting their effort here at Parr and have been very successful so far. There has been five or six conversions and they are laboring hard for more.

to lay the blame on the auditor or Go. Supt., or somebody else. But as we are not sure who is to blame we will not lay it to anyone.

frother of A. W. Tolen, who recently moved to Lawrence, Ind. Chas. Brouhard, who lived on the old Mathias Petty place east of town, moved over on a part of the old Bruce Moffitt farm, and a family from up about Muncie moved into the big house on the same place. Their names are Lucas. Reas Dunn moved the first of the week onto the farm vacated by Brouhard.

Morton Clifton, who has been working and learning telegraphy here the last two or three years, has at last got his name on the payroll. He worked as a supply here a night or two in Mr. Carpenter’s place the first of the week, and on Wednesday evening was sent to - Cedar Lake to take charge of the office there for an indefinite time. So he is in a position now that when there is a vacancy he will get a permanent job. We surely wish him all the success possible. Rev. Rariden of Rosebud begun a series of meetings here Friday evening. He preached his first sermon in the M. E. church and the second one in Will Warren’s house but this week has been holding in Mallatt’s hall. We have two churches here and he was denied the use of either one of them. It looks like some people are afraid that the gospel of Jesus Christ will be spread. The scripture says we shall not put our light under a bushel. There is a great harvest to be gathered from this great field, and how will it be gathered if the harvesters are kept out? But the Lord always provides a way, so the hall has been pressed into use.

The quickest relief comes perhaps from a prescription known to Druggists everywhere as Dr. Shoop’s Cough Remedy. And besides, it is so thoroughly harmless that mothers give it with perfect safety even to the youngest babes. The tender leaves of a simple mountain shrub give to Dr. Shoop’s Cough Remedy its remarkable curtaive effect. A few days test will tell. Sold by A. F. Long.
