We were shown a sample of Dora
corn meal by Mr. J ohn Pratt yesterday
evening that to our mind surpasses
bran for feed "ery much. It ts a
known fact that stock will eat it in pref-
erence to bran corn oats or anything
else for that matter and it is to be
hoped that the time is near at hand
when the people of this section will
recognize its value and use it thus
patronizing home industry and giving
to the farmer a matket for a crop
which will grow and do well even dur-
ing the dryest season. Let us see to
it that we guard our best interest in
this very important matter.

Bled.
Mr. Jno. B Neill died at his home
near Buffalo Gap last Tuesday and
was buried from the First Baptist
church of this city Wednesday. He was
a long and patient sufferer from cancer
and his death came as a most wel-
come call. His lite was one of great
devotion and self sacrifice and to do
some little good seemed to be the
prime motive of his existance. In his
death his family have sustained a great
blow and Ta) lor county has lost a
most worthy and honored citizen.
Rev. William Hughes is Now Pastor
of Knox Presbyterian Church
New York City.
Rev. Dr. John Hall of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church last
night installed Rev. William Hughes
as the pastor of the Knox Presbyterian
Church. Seventy-second street and
Second avenue. In addition to the
installation ceremonies the new pas-
tor's infant child Elizabeth Stiong
Hughes was baptized by Dr. Hall.
The church was crowded many of
the Fifth Avenue parishioners attend-
ing. In his sermon Dr. Hall told the
congregation of their duties to their
God their country and their new pas-
tor. He admonished the pastor to be
true to himself his God and to the
flock he had been delegated to guide.
Rev. Dr. Joseph Sanderson deliver-
ed the charge to the pastor and Rev
F. N. Marling the charge to the peo-
ple. The question having been raised in
our midst as to who is authorized un-
der the law to perform the rites of
matrimony we are asked to give our
opinion and here give the last act of
the legislature on this subject which is
self explanatory. Acts 91 and 96
amending article 2838 revised statutes:
"All regular licensed or ordained min
isters of the gospel Jewish Rabbi's
judges of the district and county
courts and all justices of the peace of
the several counties are authorized to
celebrate the rites of matrimony be-
tween all parties legally authorized to
marry."
According to the law as above given
all regularly licensed or ordained min-
isters regardless of the form and man-
ner of ordination of their respective
churches are authorized to celebrate
the rites of matrimony.
