He went with the intention of build- ing and otherwise improving this fall, but concluded to defer it until spring. Row Over Church Property. A church row of considerable pro- portions is on at Spruce, growing out of the recent decision by the Supreme Court in the Presbyterian organiza- tions property rights. The church building at Spruce was built and owned by the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination. At the time of the union of the two brariches of the church, this property passed into the hands of ee ented canare- gation under the name of -Presby- terians. Recently a demand was made on the church directors in the name ofthe C. P. church for the property. This was denied them and a writ was secured from a justice of the peace of the township and force- able possession was taken of the church building. The church officials maintain that in view of the fact that a complete and harmonious union was made be- tween the members of the two con- gregations, and that no effort has been made to keep the C. P. congre- gation together, that the decision of the supreme court does not hold in this case. The merits of the case will have to be settled in the courts, but it is very unfortunate that such a con- troversy should have arisen especial- ly in view of harmony existing in the united congregation and the good be- ing accomplished under the preach- ing of Rev. J. N. Nichols. “Tt will be interesting to know just how printers will be able to carry out the state law which now provides for | the “rotation’’ of names of candi- dates, instead of having them appear in alphabetical order under the name of the office. Thus, if there are four. candidates for Governor or any other office, each of the four names is to be | rinted first on one-fourth. of the bal- | ots, giving none the preference. As| there will be two, three or four candi- dates for some offices, it will bea! mechanical impossibility for this pro- | vision of the election law to be carried out. A few practical printers in the | legislature would have obviated this | fool law.’’—Lamar Leader. | Country printers need not worry | their brains over this particular sec- | tion of the complex primary law, as| that trouble falls to the city printers, where it is operative.

Before applying the mulch the | ground should be worked over fine and deep and left free from all weeds; the clippings should then be spread evenly over the surface, working it under the leaves of low growing plants and well up around the stems of tall ones, as lilies. Once placed the mulch should not be disturbed, as its object is to ex b and retain | influence of rain .and dew it settles into a feltlike mat that effectually dis- eourages the growth of weeds, while retainmg the moisture, coolness and friableness of the soil so essential to the welfare of the plant.

Word was received in Butler Sat- urday that Walter Pearce was uncon- | scious, following an operation in Rich Hill for the piles, and was thought to be near death’s door.
