During the first of the work they were informed by the railroad foreman that the men with teams would be paid only 83 per day this year and single hand ed men 81.50 per day. Every teamster immediately quit and re fused to work. After some par leying they were finally told to go to work at the old price of § 3.50 per day and the shout that went up was heard up town.

Frank Mumford had a narrow escape one day recently when the wind was blowing a gale from the north. Frank had started to town with a load of hay and at the top of the hill near Beaver canyon the load , wagon and all blew over onto him and pinned him to the ground. He was walking at the time and hadn't time to get away. He lay , there for several hours trying to scratch his way out but his right foot was pinned down under a part of the frame and his head and shoulders were held by the wires that were interwoven about the side of the hay rack. He managed to break one shoe fasten ing and the shoe strings and then pulled his foot out. Having one hand free to work and one foot loose he scratched hay from about his head and pushed it down be low his feet arid like a gopher worked out after several hours. One team passed and Frank yell ed with all his might but a lone woman happened to be driving and could not help him. Before she could send men to his assist ance Frank had crawled out with out a cap and minus one shoe. It was getting dark and cold so he pulled his horses gee and got the running seers of his wagon loose to ride back home on and met A. W. Grooms on his way to town who went back with him and took him in and took care of him. Frank has a lame back and his legs don't work very well yet but is improving right along and will rbt'dvfen GOODS Shipments of spring goods are being made earlier this year than usual and already we are able to show you a good many new styles and patterns in both ladies' and men's wear.

Church X The special gospel meetings held for the past two Sabbaths and seven in the Presbyterian en week-day evenings byterian church were concluded Monday evening , after twenty-five persons had indicated their desire for devine acceptance , The topics were all discussed and the subjects treated with the thoroughness and accuracy of the careful student ot the Word of God. God.As As showing how gospel truth presented so as to be a faithful interpretation of the Holy Scrip tures , should alfect the honest seeker after the light , an incident connected with these special meet ings will enable us to gain some helpful information : Rev. Kearns had preached in one service on the topic , l'The Unpardonable Siu."i i We know that before he preached ' j the sermon he made a thorough study of scripture , taking up chapters of the bible in the origi nal languages , word by word. Af ter the sermon a Christian gentle man came forward and , giving the evangelist's hand a hearty shake , said : "Well , Doctor , you re lieved my mind tonight of a great dread , for I have long feared lest I might have commitced the un pardonable sin , but T am glad that tonight you made it clear that I had not. " The subsequent squeeze of the pastor's hand indicated how much joy and satisfaction had been given this man by the hearing of the truth of God's word , remind ing us of the Saviour's words to those who believed on Him , "And ye shall know the truth , and the truth shall make you free. " But how true it is today , as it was when Christ preached and wrought miracles of old. "All his adversaries were ashamed , and all the people ( believers ) rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him. " The pastor lost his knife during the meetings. We hope that will be a blessed omen that all God's * people shall now put away forever all sharpness and become like the kind and loving Redeemer.
