THE PRoDIGAL SoN.-No man or boy
who is shabbily or poorly dressed, has
the same self-respect that the man or boy
has who is neatly, tidily and fashionably
dressed. This has been true in all ages,
and in all countries. When the prodigal
son returned, the very first thing that the
rejoicing father did, was to get the old
ragged clothing off the boy, and get a
neat new suit on him.
If Washam & Co. had been there, with
such stock of fine clothing as they keep
in Jackson, the "old man" would have got
the new robe there, as he desired to get
the very best the country afforded, and
Washam keeps that kind and style of
clothing. 25nov4W

: DETECTIVE John T. Norris did neat

week. A wealthy farmer named Dietrich
had his barn burned. Dietrich has an old
feud with another wealthy farmer named
Noel. Norris went to work on the case,
and, suspecting hired man of Noels.
named Stanton, he clothed himself in the
garb of Penitentiary convict, and secre-
ted himself in fodder shock near STAN
toms shanty. Being found by Stanton,
Norris threw himself upon the mans
mercy, when he was taken into the
shanty. Here Norris began relating his
hair-breadth escapes, calling himself Nc
KINNEY. He got his companion excited,
and he, too, began to relate the record Of
his badness, included in which was the
burning of Dietrich's barn, saying that
the two Noels-father and son-employed
him to do it. He shortly found himself
hand-cuffed. Norris took him to the Wa
verly Jail. He then placed reliable wit
ness under the bed in the cell, and az
rested the Noels and placed them In the
same cell, when they talked the matter
over with Stanton, confessing to having
employed him to burn the barn. Stanton
was arraigned and plead guilty; the 9TH
ers plead not guilty.

mans efforts leave no doubt upon
the mind of the nearer of his being
devoted heart and soul to the saliva
ton of men. AS lawyer, none of
our younger men at this bar were
practising with such favorable pros
poets, and his abandonment of these
for the spiritual labors, which are
so much less remunerative in
point of view, is a suffi-
cient proof that his adoption of the
Christian ministry as his occupation
in life was dictated by no lower
considerations than the inward con-
viction that this was the calling for
which his Creator demanded his |
life and talents. Such men cannot |
but be successful in gathering re-
deemed sinners within the Christian |
fold.
