- 31 ARPllSl S1 Well to are you anyhow? We are feeling pretty good just now, had a good spring and summer trade, but then its a little quiet just a, present, couldn't expect anything else, all the farmers busy, working sixteen hours a day, and other people at the coast eating clams, makes things quiet for store folks, but its all in a lifetime and we are satisfied. Come in when you are in town, we are getting lots of new goods now, look them over and see how you like our newly arranged store. Our prices are so low you can't stumble over them. STRAW Don't sunburn yourself when we sell good harvest hats for 5 cents each. We also have a good line of Crash hats. MEN'S SHOES We have placed 1130 pairs of Hvcn'G iTG'W SliOCC on our shelves for harvest trade. We sell them for $1.00 to $5.00 a pair. THE WEST SIDE THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1901. Some Church IVciillnrlllcs. In the village of East Aurora there are Beven preachers on salar ies of from $100 to $1)00 each a year Among the village churches there is more or less strife. The lires of hate are often respectably hanked, but the embers mnolJer, and now and again tho flame bursts out. The churches are all in competition with each other rivalry is rife, and the spirit of tho Master is smoothered in a scrimmage to raise the wind. Chicken pie socials, poverty parties, gueBses as to the number of pieces in a bed quilt, fairs, maple sugar soirees, cat pro pagation, and all tho usual round of petty, pious blackmail is resort ed to in order to make up the defi cit. And some years ago we tried the plan at one of our churches of having a dozen pretty young women take off their shoes and stockings and stand behind a cur tain that loft expoped only their pedals. Then we paid 10 cents each, passed by, and made guesses as to the owner of tho underpin ning. The man who made tho highest number of correct guesses, and he could guoss as often as he wished by paying a dime, received a prize. 1 only mentioned tins to show to what straits country chur ches are often put to rpise money to carry on the good work. Elbert Hubbard in The Independent. Considering Sir Thomas Lipton's sportsmanslike behavior one could almost wish that he might lift that cup. But what's the use of wishing? HATS """"TlTiimim-ii mi Tfiii ii Sli p In Right 1)1 reel Ion. The Alabama Constitutional Con vention has agreed on a provision making it tho duty of the Governor when a sheriff. allows a prisoner in his custody to bo lynched, to insti tute impeachment proccodingsagnin stthe officer, and to suspend him on pending trial. Alabama seems to bo in earnest. This isthefirstreally adequate measure against lynching yet adopted in any state. The country has been sho ked by the immense number of railroad calamities during the past fow months, attended by alarming loss of life, and largely through inexcu sable carelessness. This is all the more wonderful from tho fact that at no timo in thoir history havo tho railroad companies taken so many precautions to have their force reli able as they have taken of late years. Tho strictest rules of tem perance havo been enforced every where, and a system of notices and signals has been established that would seem to warrant the utmost feeling of security, but tho frequent lapses of discipline and the 1 fatali ties resulting therefrom are strong reminders that man's greatest eff orts and achievements must always remain finite, limited, prescribed. The men controlling tho modern means of travel have a torriblo re sponsibility and it is little wonder that there are some disasters. Statesman. - President McKinley has pardon ed or commuted the sentences of 31 bank convicts, and President Cleve land showed mercy to 41. Most of them however, were small culprits; the big thieves when caught and convicted, are almost never pardoned.

The State Normal School at Mon mouth comes much nearer than any other so called normal schools to deserving the name it bears. This is duo to its age, and to the facts that it was the lirst institution to be taken under tho wing of tho state, and has received more state aid than any other, it is also due to Principal P. L. Campbell to say without intending any inference derogatory toother principals to bo drawn that lie is a man of much ability, untiring energy and unusal adaptivenoss to such work. Tho Monmouth Normal pchool was founded ninteen year ago, and was first recognized by the Htato as such in 1.S83. In 1801 the state took tho properly over, and since then it luiB been a full-fledged eta to institution. It now boasts of quite an elaborato but altogether prac tical curriculum, including an effi cient and very useful manual train ing department. During its existance the Mon mouth school has graduated 5G3 persons, ot whom about iw are now engaged in teaching. It is noticablo that the students, of whom there were 187 in all the past year, come from all parts of the stale, so that, more than any other of these schools, it is in reality a state institution. The state would havo been wise to make tho school an even better and greater normal school than it is,: one unexcelled in any state, sup porting it liberally and refusing to recognize or support any other such school, at least for some years to come.
