First of all the (Initio Rook brass band met Incoming delegations at I he train and led the nrocession to the irrounds. Andbytlioway lest wo forgot, this baud is a good one. They play excell ent music and rendered ovory number in first class manner. The address of welcome was given by Kov. James Sheoley which was responded by Rev. (!. W. I (ultimo!. The chorus of girls especially captivated this editor. Their singing was very pleasing and all the poople seemed to enjoy listen ing to them The Martial band was on hand and played plenty of .stirring martial strains. The big basket din ner was then announced andthegrove presented a most happy appcaranco hundreds of people gathered thorn solves in little knots all over the ground und enjoyed themselves as only folks can who cut out of doors. Tho principal address in the after noon was delivered by lion. J. S, tiilliain. The speaker cnulliioil him self, largely to relating tile events of tho early days in tills county. Mr. E. Peters was credited with being tho llrst settler and ho still resides in the count'. Ye wish we had the space and memory to give all the good things Mr. Gilliam said but it .was not our fault If you were not there in person to listen to those rcminini bcetices of pioneer life. It is enough to say that the speaker was at his best and that ho delivered an excellent address. Tho musical part of the program was w ell executed and curried out in full as tho program called for. The people of tittlde Rock huvo many peo ple of talent and we onjo.ed it muoli more than we would have had they been imported for the occasion. It is with much more satisfaction that we listen to a program furnished by our own talent. After tills the ball game, sack taees and tho like. Plenty of amusement for everyone. Ueioro leaving this subject we wisli to state that this was our llrst visit to (iuiile Rock for three years and we were certainly surprised at the ad vancement that the town has made. There have been erected now business houses, several churches and many residences. The streets look clean and inviting, the sidewalks aro all on grade and there is not ti board walk In tho town. The merchants have good stocks and the people seoin to bo happy. They have added another year to their high school courso and this year they will teach music in all the rooms. 1'rogre.ss seems to bo in the air for overytliinghasa progressive appear ance. Wo enjoyed a pleasant chat with Itro. Yaughan of the Signal and swapped yarns with him for an hour. Withal our visit was most pleasant. iHuepontieneo Day was eelehvnii.,1 this year much more sanely than for Koine time. Gradually wo aro settling uumi vo gei cue proper view point of tne rourth of July. We now know that the Revolutionary struggle was not so much a revolt against unjust niAuwon as ti was the marking of an epoch in tho history of the world. A oarerul study of conditions will reveal the fact that the Ameiican colonics were enjoying a much more liberal government than were their cousins rtght at homo in England. Uut the spirit of freedom was in the air. The new world seemed to 1111 men's minds with new thoughts and a new govern ment was the result. In the future our celebrations will savor less unit less of noise and more of tho real true Hlirlt of independence and freedom. Wo read a stirring article in oue of the lecent magazines in regard to tho morals of professing Christians. It was written by ono outside of the cliurohiii.il the writer handled his Hubject without gloves, lie asked how ono could trust a church member mi a, ousinoss trunsiietinu NvUei, UuU iiiembor did not pretend" to live up to any of the simple vows or the church, For Instance, lie has promised that he would attend the church regularly especially the midweek service anil yot never darkens the door on prayer meeting night r,,r years at a time. He promises to read his Uible every uuy ami yet does not spend two hours in the year In fiillilment of that vow. He promises to labor for the wolfare of his church and yet never mentions its existence. The writer asks, ir a man has the temerity to lie to God wui no Keen ra 1 1 w t . m,,,," v must admit that this Is a torrille blow ut church membership and it hits hard because It Is apparently tme. Many peoplo are earnest and sincere at the time of entering a church but forget the vows they have taken and gradu ally remain away more nnd more un til they have lost all their pleasure in church service. This ought not to be. Wen arc judged by what they do. Those who make professions are ex pected to live up to those professions. If church members would stop and think once in a whllo of how they ap pear to those out sido they would not bo so lax in their attendance upon the services of theii church- Illation Ku torrrtee Lodje arid Church Directory A Charity LodgolNo. fin, A.

"A few years ago every city and in corporated village in America had Its espcolal charter. The modern consti tutions have changed this condition and provided charters by general law lor all cities of the same class, and those general laws now constitute tlio charters, but the principle is precise ly the same as when every cliarterwas a special grant of governmental auth ority. It is ridiculous to talk of county charter, and there is no such expression to be found in our law books or in history. Co u,n ties have no chartered rights or privileges be cause they have never been conceived of as governments, but blmply as terri torial divisions of the state. "Territorial divisions, consisting of sixteen square townships or more, are not proper subjects for the exercise of municipal power. They aro conven ient for the working of roads, for the taking ot a consus or for the collection of taxes, hut it is folly to talk of such districts as political entities ami poli tical units. The only political unit luiowu to history or law arc municipal ities and states, '' Mr. Mc-Xony tlienspokoof his own i'tty of Red Cloud, where tlio question of wet or dry came up at tlio spring election. Though peisonally favoring an open town inulor tho strict regulat ions of the Slocumb high license law, the majority of tlio voters voted the town dry, and now lieu Cloud is not only without saloons, but also with out blind pigs, because local sentiment favors such u courso and tho minority cheerfully conceeds to tlio majority it being known that the majority consists only of voters directly interested in uie city liy being residents of it. The minoilty would resent interference by the county, and the majority does not ask for it. Having found that the city can regulate its own affairs, the majority of them, even including many who voted forlt to go dry, arc opposed to county option. "The phrase 'county option' ih as meaningless to us as would bo the plirusc'roaddlstrletoptlon'eougiess lonal district option.' or anv ntimn option which looks simply nt territor ial subdivision of the state and ignor ed the fact and power of municipal government, "ho said. "County option has no meaning unless that the major ity of a municipality shall be controll ed by a minority vote, because, if a ui'ijorlty of ih voters in a elly ale in fa vui of piohihitiuu, tiny can fiisllv obtain Ilia' result.
