Mrs. Tinsley, of the W. C. T. U. will address the children of Rensselaer at the M. E. church next Sunday at Bp.m„ for the purpose of organizing an L. T. L. She will also deliver a lecture in the evening at eight o’clock, after which a collection will be taken to defray expenses. She will give an address at Bark> ley at 8 p. m. Everybody cordially invited to each of the above. / A peculiar shipment was made from the University of Notre Dame to Paris, France, via/ the National Express Company’s line. The shipment consists of aibox containing 600,000 canceled postage stamps collected at the university for the benefit or an orphan asylum in Paris. On their arrival they will be made up in books containing 1,000 each and sold. The box weighs 200 pounds. It has been alleged from the pulpit that Goodland has fortyfive “infidels,” or “free thinkers.” The number, if carefully counted, will probably double that.—Herald. It is claimed by those who have given the matter thought that Rensselaer contains more infidels according to population than any town in the state, notwithstanding the fact that the town contains a church for about every 200 population. Rev. N. Vice requests us to announce that the fourth quarterly meeting of the M. P. church on the Rensselaer charge, will be held at the Rose Bud church July 29 and 30. Rev. Rogers,* of the Frankfort charge, will be present. He requests all of the official members to be prese'nt and everybody is invited to be thereon the 80th. Come with baskets well filled and take dinner in the grove. The fault finders are about the only ones that the editor can rely upon to hear “what sort of a paper he publishes.” You dscorch” a public entertaintainment, a public official, an organization of any kind, and you will hear from it on all sides, and they will curse you up hill and down. But you might go on and give a column of “taffy” and laud them to the skies, and the probability is you would never receive a word of thanks or praise, and no one would think to speak of it in your presence. There is always a strong temptation, says an exchange, for an editor of a newspaper to write in such a way as to secure somebody’s disapproval of what he says, to “pitch in” to somebody’s cherished views. He is then sure to hear from what he says, and he very seldom hears from any other kind of writing. He may write handsome things and he will never find out whether anybody has read them or not* Except for the faultfinders he would inevitably conclude that no one ever reads an editorial. Therefore, welcome fault-finders.—Ex.
