Numbers of moving 'wagons arc passing
through our city , indicating that the exodus is
still in progress. Some of our neighbors are
leaving us and seeking more promising fields
of activity. Among them arc the Reed and
Richardson families whom we are sorry to lose.
There are some thieving parties whom we
should like to see leave.
On next Sabbath the congregation of the
Lutheran church will be re-organized on a new
basis ; and for the Satisfaction of those busybodies -
bodies who want.the church closed , and circu
lated the false report that a new minister was
coming , we will sty that the President of the
Board of Home Missions has given posi
tive orders to the present pastor of the church to
go on with the regular services and re-organize
the whole work. We , the members of the Luth
eran church , insist on keepingourpresent pas
tor and assisting him in his present work. To
those who disapprove of our way of doing and
try to injure us with their tongues we say stop
or legal proceedure will be instituted against
them. Our church has a law and that law
can be enforced when needed. This thing of
trying to stop church work by slander and
falsehood is as low a work as any one with
some degree of self-respect , or sane mind , can
engage in. E. J. HALL , Reporter.

Yon work in all weather. You want an "mil-
weather" coat. In fact , the best waterproof coat
in the world. No frail rubber affair that will
up before the week is out. Rubber costs more ,
and lasts but a short time. Four teamsters out of
Eve wear the " Fish Brand " waterproof clothing.
They are the only teamsters' waterproof coats that
are light , strong , durable , and cheap. They co t
very little , and last a long time. They never get
sticky or peel off. The buttons are wire-fastened ,
and never eome off. They are absolutely water
proof and wind-proof. Until you own one you will
never know the comfort of a rainy day. Beware of
worthless imitations , every garment stamped with
the /Fish Brand1 * Trade Mark. Donn accept
any inferior coat when you can have the " Fish
Brand Slicker " delivered without extra cost. Par
ticulars and illustrated catalogue free.
