E. U. Will : : : Albany. Created a Sturm. According to a recent issue of the Call, Rev. Bronson, president of the Baptist college at Oakland, furmerlv of Albany, has caused a sensation there. Under the head of "Rev. Dr. Bronson Creates a Storm," extracts are given from a pa per read by him. Following are a few extracts : "The pablic schools give the pupil a smattering of everything and teach him nothing. He can neither read nor write and is seriously defective in arithmetic, whije epellidg is to him worse than a foreign tongue. The average high school does not attempt to master anything. This is not its ambition. "There are not 25 Baptists in the United States who are fitted to teach the Bible to college students. Their knowl edge of the book must be the knowledge secured by a long course of intense and exhaustive study under the guidance of a master. . Startling as may be the state ments It is nevirtlieless tri'e that there Are no men in the Baptist denomination wuo are nitea to teacn the liiole in a Baptist school of any grade below the theological seminary. " j A dozen ministers who heard the pa per arose to their feet and denounced the last two statements, and a live polemi cal time followed. An Elegant Seiv Residence. Oae of the finest residences in Albany, in fact in the valley, ha just been built by Mr. and Mrs. Perry W. Spinks on their nicely located lots' in the 1st ward, a residence that would do credit to good times . The foundation is of solid atone surrounding an immense basement about 50x40 feet. The two and a half storv structure above it is of an architecture that would ,do credit to the most expert metropolitan architect, and yet an Al bany man, Mr. Andrew Touker drew all the plans and superintended the work, being ably assisted Mi. Chris Uowland. There are sixteen Urge, well arranged, rooms above the basement, a lanre ver anda over-looking the city east and north oi it. a root proportioned to the struct ure cats the building and will always at tract attention on account of a large, well painted eye buldiriog out from it on the eastern slope. Altogether it is a decided credit to Albany and Mr. and Mrs. Spinks may well be proud of their tew home. .'-.. Gets a Live Letter.

Seeding of grain for the next year's crop has begun. Most all of the summer fallow has been s eded. A rain is needed to soten the ground for the plum. It is expected that a very large crop of grain will Ihj sown this fall, probably larger than tbe average. All crops are approaching maturity raoidlv. The notato cron haa almm made its growth, having received un doubted beneht Irom tbe early August miiio.jei, iue crop win not oe an average; tbe vines are changing color. Activity in the harvest fields having ceased owlrg to all the grain except very late-sown having been secured and threshed, farmers and threshing hands have turned their attention to hop pick ing. For several years there has been an overproduction of hops, causing the prico to fall so that many growers have neglected their yards. Throughout the hopgrowing sections yard after yard of uncultivated hops can lie observed. Other growers have expended the usual amount of attention of time and labor on their hops; the comparison shows a marked difierence in the cultivated and uncultivated hop. Oakville. J. E.
