Every week brings additional reports of new industries in all parts of the country, particularly in the South, which seems to be especially prospering under the stimulus given to manufacturing by the Dingley law. Last week’s reports from the South showed the establishment of from seventy-five to one hundred new industries, among them a half-million dollar by-product plant at Birmingham, Ala., cotton mills, farm-implement factories, furniture factories, sugar refineries, clothing manufactories, bicycle works, carriage and wagon establishments, cutlery factories, knitting mills, oil mills, lumber mills, shuttle works, chemical manufactories and “novelty works,” the last a sure sign that the Yankee has again invaded the South, this time peacefully. People who are inclined to complain of what they think an unnessary delay in the course of President McKinley in regard to the Cuban-Spanish situation, would do well to keep in mind the

fact that members of Congress, irrespective of party, who are for obvious reasons better able to know the real facts controlling the President’s course, are unanimously and cordially standing behind and commending him. If Democrats, Populists and Silver Republicans, who have united in attacking him in other matters, stand firmly and unitedly in line in his support in the Cuban matter, cannot those who are at a distance and have less personal opportunity to know the situation be content to believe that the President is following a proper course in this matter?

The Vote By Counties.

The vote on prosecuting attorney by counties, at the judicial convention at Goodland Tuesday, was as follows: I For Chizum; Benton county, 11.15; Jasper. 16.8; Newton, 12.65. Total 40.6. For Barce: Benton, 8 87; Jasper, 2, Newton, 2.35. Total 13.22. One poor fatherless vote from Jasper county was given to J. W, Douthit.

Gillam Post-Office Running.

Gillam, the new post-office in Gillam township, is now in full operation. The office gets its mail supply from Medaryville, and not from Rensselaer, as was expected at first.

Sunday School Column

BKNBSELABR, iWbIAMA.

Rose Bud Sunday school is preparing for an Easter service. Some of tho canned up Sunday schools opened this quarter. Hope they will hence forward be ever green schools. Have you heard the call? ‘‘Go ye into all the nations and preach the Gospel.” Look around you. Duty is the call. In a measure we capacitate ourselves for heaven while here on earth. Then how very small heaven will be to some. It is certainly not logical that we must become the greatest sinner in order to become the greatest saint. Let us teach the children pf our schools that now in their youth is the easiest and best time for them to accept Christ and make him the pattern of their lives. Old winter is gone and the Queen of Spring is with us again. Now is the budding and seeding time. Be very careful that we sow good seed in our Sunday schools—So when the Son of Righteousness shall appear there will be an abundant harvest. As we near the time of Easter what a cloud of associations and memories are brought again to our minds. He is risen Hallelujah! gladness fills the world to-day. Lo! the grave it could not hold him. See the stone is rolled away. Spring time then to each should say, “Christ arose —He lives to-day.” To Sunday School Superintendents: Is your Sunday school at 10 o’clock? Be there at half past nine and prepare your blackboard work and be ready promptly at ten, to begin. Review your school after the day’s lesson and mark the officers and teachers on time or so manv »/ minutes tardy. Make a strong effort if you have no library to secure one at once, for the value of good books can not be estimated. Talmage said he felt like removing his hat to a book agent for he tealized that he could do more good than he ever expected to do.
