Mount Vernon beat us la every¬ thing last Lord's Day. Now the fight Is on and we are going to be t^ere at tho end to carry away the reward. It simply means that Mount Vernon is no toy, and we must get up and go. Don't make any other plans but to be (n Bible school next Sunday and to be there on time. We have the ban¬ ner school Qf the county, but we want to have tho banner school of the ad¬ joining cov.nttes, tn fact, of Southern Illinois, and we can do it of we make ap our minds to do so. We had a freat school last Lord's Day, but watch for o'.:r next Sunday's report. We were glad to see so many ot our country membera and, think of it, they were on time and many of us' who live here in tho city and cannot get there on time. It would be too bad if we are late for that Judgment

OILING STREETS
Last year road oil cost 6c per gal¬ lon delivered on cars, Flora, 111., and with the oil tax money we were able to purchase three cara, or about 24,- OOO gallons of oil.
At this time, this year, oil will cost about 16c per gallon delivered, and our appropl-latlons available for oil- log purposes will allow the purchase pt only about one and two-thirds cars or 11,700 gallons. There wilt be «l>out 12,000 available for oiling tbis year, pwtng to the fact that a little <iil on the streets ts wotse than none, we believe tt to be the best policy to not attempt oiling this year unless we can secure pcivate subscriptions making up the cost for additional oil.
If it is deelded to purchase the oil, we can in fairness, use tt for one ap¬ plication tmiy, just as far as it will g9 and would feel like it should it be applied first on those streets bearing the heaviest traffic. - We estimate that in addition to the initial oiling it would require approx¬ imately $20 per block to give a sec¬ ond application, whieh is really nec¬ essary, to hare a proper oiling. We suggest that citizens in each block In- terest^hemselves aUohce and see If they can raise a subscription list amounting to $20.00 por block of 360 (eet. If thts can be* done in any con¬ siderable part o£ tbe- city, tt will en¬ able your commlssiunerr to go ahead and do the work, this year and with the underatanding that a' second ap¬ plication of oil will be applied on these blocks raising the above amount per block.
Peraons interested in this matter will kindly take up with the under¬ signed at once.

Remarks Of clerk i
Anyway, tbe church and religious sored, influence has not hurt the preach¬ ers' boys as much ss some people have supposed. If Sunday school, church service and religious home leaves one boy wtth nine ckances above tha average, perhaps a little more religions influence would be good tor that boy of youra.
Yes, occasionally a preacher has a bad boy, and once In a long ttme, he • helps to eat a yellow-legged chicken. He is getting tired bearing about them both every day of his life. He would be tickled to get hold of any kind of cooked hen these days.
