Smith while therefl They pronounce the gathering a large one with much to see. Phillip Keil did have a fine water melon patch but it is no more for some outlaw rough necks went to the patch with a wagon and stole the melons as well as destroying the vines.

True they were not a large amount of them but they were beauties, and it was a shame some petty thief had to steal them. On last Friday George Nickles and wife, Mrs. Henry C. Long and daugh ter.

Nickles has some land, and where they went to see horn the crops there are. Arrived Home from South. Frank Mrasek and the family who departed some time ago for the south for an outing and visited at many places while away returned last Sat urday dead in love with the eastern portion of Cass county. They are thinking much of Murray and its vicinity, as they always did but more of the farming district ly ing adjacent to the hustling little city. Mr. Mrasek who is a very keen observer told of the excellent town in Kansas where there was no papers or rubbish on streets or in the al leys, but everything spotless and clean and excellent business places with a wide awake stirring popula tion and all hustling. While the farmers were looking after their interests in the same way they were very poorly paid with crops for their work. Eastern Cass county discounts all the places which Mr. Mrasek and family visite, and Frank says that one can afford to make his home in such a country as Cass coun ty for he has a home in a land equal to any. Mayor Busy Man in Berkshire Town Village Government Centers Largely in Frank Creamer's Gen eral Store. Peru, Mass. News that has just come out of this little Berkshire hill town, highest and one of the smallest in the state, that "Mayor" Frank Creamer has announced the tax rate of $17.25, an increase of 75 cents because of the expense of forest fire fighting, served to turn the spot light on one of the most unusual ofScial characters this commonwealth can produce. The title of "Mayor" has been well-earned by Mr. Creamer if it ever can be by a small town official, for he confesses that he does not re member how many twon offices he holds and administers. To begin with, he is chairman cf the board of selectmen of the little community of 113 persons that musters about 30 voters and clings to a rocky hill top some 2200 feet above sea level. Then there is tax collector, superin tendent of streets, moderator, town clerk, and treasurer. Also be is, or has been, justice of the peace, con stable, public weigher, measurer of wood, and bark, pound keeper, fence viewer, sealer of weights and meas ures, member of the school board and library trustee. n , a! He was at one time postmaster a has been to the legislature. 2He .a democrat, while Mrs. Creamer is a renuDiican. It is largely a personal, not to sayj paternal form of government that "Mayor" Creamer administers in Peru. This was instanced when he announced that the people pays no in- terest on borrowed money, for Mr. rronmnT- oWnniicn what in rcoHoH ?us'w - - " u w.twiD U 1 t from his own pocket.

Br u a Brig t 'M-I-H-I-I-M-I-H-I-M-M- ' Golden Text: Honor Jehovah with thy substance;. And with the first fruits of all thy increase. Exodus 34:4. I The First Church of God. Man had not been that Christian which it was desired always; shower ed with blessings at the beginning, he had failed to appreciate what the Father had done for him, and when he had been placed in the Garden of Eden, he had forgfeited the eternal love and solicitude which had been showered upon him, and as a con sequently was thrust out of the gar den, the "Veritable Paradise," and was compelled to earn his living by hard laborious toil, and only by the sweat of his brow was he permitted to eat bread. At numerous times had God covented with man, for man only to break the covenant, and wander way. With the Great Jehovah, the Creator of the universe, and man only his creature, it is only realsonable that the terms of the relationship be tween God and man should eminate from the sovereign head. God there fore made the terms and it was for man to accept and obey. The first of. all the term was.
