Will brother Hoover be a candidate fo re-election from the Tjiird Ward? Jake Buskirk has officially announced himself as a candidate for Marshal. They do not say that R. A.

The Revival meetings now

She is turning hearts to Christ by the demonstration of plain, practical truths. Though unassuming in her deportment, she has great force and . purity of thought. In the pulpit she holds the attention of the entire audience, with the genius of her oratory. She is vivid in description, and dramatic in -recital of the golden thoughts that emanate from her mind. And yet there is a tenderness and christian meekness of manner that makes? her doubly attractive both in public and private life.

An important factor in disseminating disease is the defective sanitary arrangements usually found in smaller cities and towns.

Let the city council organize a first class Board of Health, consisting of three or more physician, the Mayor and city Marshal, give them the power to enforce any ordinance that would be for the sanitary regulation of our citizens.
