BRIEF NOTES OF INTEREST
GATHERED HERE AND THERE
'It may probably be raining tonight.
but none of the denominations
to be represented at the welcome
services to Mr. Dalton object to
water, and some of them really call
for more than others. Hence, it is
safe to predict that the Disciple
church will be filled with those eager
to lend their presence to a hospitable
welcome to the Baptist's new pastor.
The county commissioners yesterday
issued an order requiring
justices of the peace and recorders to
comply with tbo law relative to making
monthly reports of fines collected
Wp will publish this law tomorrow
with a lisfcof the reports as made
by these officers.
