Oner, resumed it at 1910 O'Clock. He argued at
considerable length that the shots were fired In
self-defense, and when the prisoner was laboring
under excitement At some length he discussed
the Inconsistency OF the common law, and referring
to the words OF the indictment that Grimes was
''then and there in the peace OF God" &c, asked
was he In that peace? and read the 10th chapter
Proverbs and Lev1ticuS Xxx, 10, that the aduterer
should be put to death. He said there was not q
law on earth which punished the man who slew the
adulterer save the English common law, and even In
this an authority says 1t is not absolutely ranked
with excuSable hOmicides, meaning that It was
nearly So II this man was convicted the record

Othello, the speaker said Karcher, like the Jealous

The many friends throughout North
western Ohio will sympathize with Mrs.
General A. V. Rice, Of Ottawa, in the
death of her mother, Mrs. Judge Metcalf,
who passed away at the residence of her
daughter, Oct. 3lst, aged 60 years. The
Ottowa Sentinel says:
"Mrs. Metcslf was a remarkable wo-
man of superior talents and fine accom-
plishments, and in former years she and
her worthy and talented husband were
widely and we'll known by large circle
of friends in all the counties in North
western Ohio. But her beautiful and
lovely qualities shone brightest in the
home circle. A loving and devoted wife,
an affectionate and fond mother, she was
peculiarly Of domestic nature, and her
children and her children's children were
dearer to her than life itself. She was
also woman of strong religious zeal, and
in early life united with the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and ever remained
steadfast to her christian faith. Through
her great suffering and trials in her last
illness the comforting power ofthe christ
ian religion sustained her, and she died in
the full hope of blessed immortality.
Her funeral took place in Lima, Ohio,
Monday afternoon, Nov. Sd, from Trinity
M. E. Church.

You will find no better entertainment
than just to 60 to Saur's drug and book
store and see the late new novelties which
are now being opened out there and ex-
posed for sale. Every year brings some
thing new and different in this line, some-
thing which is ornamental and at the
same time useful, something for the
young, something for the old and some
thing for the middle aged. Saur makes a
speciality of keeping the book department
in his store, during the fall end winter,
filled with choice books and papers and
everything that belongs in the line of
books and stationery. Never before has
the variety been so large and attractive,
and taste so well displayed in their selec-
tion. The prices on nearly everything
have been largely reduced. Books that
used to sell at one dollar, and one dollar
and fifty cents can now be bought for fifty
cents. Don't fail to step in at Saur's book
and news depot, look over the stock and
we are sure that you will see something
there shat you never saw before.
