He has pointed out, for instance, that in Folk county, where something like $30,000 a year is expended directly by the county in addi- tion to the sums spent by the road dis- tricts, practically nothing has been done to make the roads good. They have been graded and leveled, but there has been no drainage and no attempt to make a perma- nent surface. This condition of affairs pre- vails generally over lowa and it will be fmpossible to continue some of the rural | mall routes when It is demonstrated that the carriers have to encounter such bad roads that they cannot be sure of their trips.

ATLANTIC, Ta., Dec. 13.—(Spectal)—The town of Griswold is all wrought up over a church affair in which the pastor of the | Presbyterian church, Rev. Grace, i3 cused of conduct unbecoming a minister. | As a result there will be a church trial next | Monday, when the matter will be thoroughly | investigated, the indications being that | Rev. Grace will prove the charges against him without foundation. There have been ugly rumors for several weeks which re- sulted in a called meeting of the presbytery to consider tho matter. This was held Tuesday and there were present Rev. | Aston of Shelby, chosen as the pastor of the Atlagtic church after the first of the year; | Rev. Cowling of Adalr, Rev. Heron of Wal- |nut, Rev. Baraes of Council Bluffs, Itev. | Young of Greenfield and Rev. Ohlinger of Carson. F. W. Montgomery of this city was chosen clerk of the special seseion. The meeting Tuesday - was simply pre- lminary. The session was an open one and when opportunity was glven (o prefer charges no one made an appearance. The members of his church who were especially interested did not desire to file a written statement, but expressed themsolves as being willing to give certain sworn testis mony. Rev, Grace insisted upon there belng an investigation and this was de- |cided upon. A committee of three was ap- pointed, consisting of Rev. Young, Aston and Barnes. The charges made aver that Rev. Grace had had undue intimacy with | the daughter of a prominent member of the | | church, though no criminal charge was |made. It was away after. midnight when | the session finished its preliminary work. During the meeting one of the ministers | sald that it seemed to him that some of the | members of the church had found the scan- dal a sweet morsel which they were rolling under their tongues."” In due clerical form Revs. Aston and Young was made the prosecuting commit- tee, while Rev Barnes is the attorney for Rev. Grace. The statement of the charges was duly prepared and submitted to all perties and an adjournment was taken until next Monday, when the trial will be- | gin. Rev. Grace 18 a young man about 30 and has always borne an excellent name. He has occupied the pulpit of the church in this ity on several occasions and has many friends here who take mo stock in the matter.
