Protracted Services.
The pastors of the Methodist,
Presbyterian and Baptist churches
are holding a series of revival ser
vices. Service is being held each
night this week in the Presbyterian
church at eight o'clock, each of the
three pastors mentioned takiug his
turn in conducting the service.
Next week these nightly services
will be held in the Methodist church
and the following week in the Bap
tist church, making altogether three
weeks of revival services. The pub

One Week of Grace.
There remains but one week in
which taxes can be paid without
penalty. After the 15th of March
the county treasurer is directed by
law to turn the books over to the
sheriff and then the penalty and
costs will be added. The treasurer
has stated that about 85 per cent of
the taxes have been paid, which is
about the usual proportion. A
word of warning or a simple remind
er should be sufficient. Don't
blame the treasurer or anyone else
?f you are "double taxed."

and has spent the larger part of his
life in the community where he liv
ed, proving himself all the while to
be a citizen of inestimable value.

those most intimately associated
with him. He was a devout chris
tian, an active member of McKen
dree church. The funeral was con

the interment took place in the
Blocker cemetery at two o'clock
