W. Sapp's last Sunday at Brown
ville, as he has decided not to

year. He will preach at Nema
Jia and Shubert next year. The

getting him there again.
The Jamestown exposition
was a dismal failure financially
and we judge every other way.
According to an exchange the
liabilities are .1,855,000 greater
than the assete. The exposition
owes the government $900,000
and will send a strong lobby to
Washington when congress
meets to induce the government
not only to donate this $900,000
but also pay the remainder of
the deficiency.
Some of our corn shuckers
have been twitting the Kansas
boys who came here to shuck
corn, telling them that no corn
to amonnt to anything was ever
raised in Kansas and the boys
could not shuck corn because
they had never had any to prac
tice on. But Uncle Henry Clark
says the idea that these boys
can't shuck corn is a mistake.
Frank Dressier has two of them
working for him, Don Clark,
Uncle Henry's' grandson, gets in
80 bushels a day and this is his
first experience in shucking. Bert
Wilson shucks 100 bushels a
day. So they are shucking some
corn, even if they were not
raised in Nebraska.
We received notice a few days
