Official Statement of the Financial Condition Friends: In these days when the public worship is not expedient I come to urge you all to give attention to the means of grace which God has placed at your command.

This is a time when we should with earnestness of heart turn to the Word of God and thus seek the will of the Lord. We are shut out from the preaching of the word and from public exhortations and prayer, but shall we neglect to read the sacred scriptures and by prayer and obedience seek to honor Him in these days of affliction. I must make my sermon short so I will ask you to consider the following texts from the word of God. Psalms 119:71. "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn thy word." A few verses before this we read; "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I observe thy word.

Hebr. 12:5. "My son regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord. Our blessed Savior did not turn aside from the cup of affliction which was his, or seek to escape Gethsemane, or go around Calvary. He endured all things for you and me that we might learn to enter the kingdom of God through many tribulations." I must close by asking you to give heed to daily reading of your bible and diligence to prayer during these trying days.

Turn to the 120th psalm and read to the 133rd. Rev. Murray. Well Boring. Pastorial Epistle.

I am now well equipped to bore and case wells with a Powers well boring outfit. See me or call up J. P. Warden's store. W.

LITTLER, Mrs. W. H. Swisher, of Marion, sends the following to the Old Home Paper: Please find enclosed $3.00 which pays for the paper one year back and one year in advance. The Enterprise is one paper which we positively cannot get along without.

By the paper I see that the "Flu" is still raging out there. It seems like it is getting worse here every day. School is closed again for an indefinite length of time. During this vacation Nellie is working in the office of the County Superintendent, and I am a victim of the "Flu." I am not bad however and am still capable of consuming three meals each day. Give my best regards to all my old friends.

The Atchison Globe observes that "the loudest blower and the hottest patriot in a Missouri Pacific institution there, gave one dollar to the war fund." It has ever been thus. Which recalls another patriot who nearly exploded because his neighbor's flag was upsidedown, but who contributed only $6 to all war campaigns. Elbert Twiselton returned from Manhattan last Friday.

Our constant effort is directed toward securing Groceries that shall possess that subtle something that for want of a better term we call Quality. Food may be perfetcly pure, wholesome, and healthful, and still not possess that peculiar distinction that sets it in a class by itself for Quality.

Your appetite may be cultivated till it asks and demands the best, or it may be depraved till "any old thing" will answer. If you would be known as a person of discriminating taste in eating, come to the store that cultivates that taste.
