SHEEP.-The great profits from
sheep cannot be made by farmers
who do everythingin grand whole
sale way. No animal requires bet
ter care and closer attention than
the sheep. Even with these it is
difficult to keep large numbers to-
gether and have them do well. The
small farmer can keep few, give
them the best care, and by growing
and selling early lambs, make more
money a head than the large sheep
grower can with his extensive hocks.

The Buffalo IN. W Chriaian AdrOcatc
OF last week contained the following cd
itorial comment upon Rev. DIR. Ran
dolph's church, which is quite compli-
mentary to the Doctor, who is so well
known in this city.
For the first time since the extensive
improvements in Asbury church, this
city, We worshipped last Sabbath morn
ing with that congregation. A more
beautiful audience room or one in which
the acoustic properties are more perfect
we have not lately seen. As has hereto
fore been acknowledged in these columns
the entire enterprise reflects great credit
on the former pastor, Rev. DR.. Dalby,
and this'energetic society. The church
is evidently in lirst-Class working order.
All seem delighted with their new pas-
tor; he has alreadHsecured strong hold
upon the affections OF the people. The
service Sunday morning was eminently
helpful. The hungry were fed. The
Sunday School under the care of Mr.. N.
r. Hatch is in ilourishing condition.
II was missionary Sunday and we were
much pleased with the system observed
and the results realized.

many taking airs, which will no doubt
be whistled on the streets before another

A DARING ROBBERY.
Masked Men Stop a Train and
Rob the Express Car
IN GENUINE BANDIT STYLE.
a Young Man Killed While Defcnd-
ing the Train From the Attack.
Only II Few, Thousand
Dollars Taken.

GRENADA, Miss, Dec. l6.-Last night
passenger train No. . on the Illinois
Central road was robbed one mile north
Of Duckllill. At 1915. when the train
pulled OF Quckhill two men boarded
the engine and commanded the en-
gineer, A. ]. Law, to pull out fast and
not stop until told. The engineer and
fireman, both being covered with navy
skies" obeyed the command and when
the train was stopped and the engineer
aud fireman were ordered to dismount.
This they promptly did. They were
then marched to the express car.
One of the robbers knocked on
the door, which was opened by
the messenger. After firing three
shots the man entered and took s., 900,
all there was in the car, from Messenger
Hill. The firing OF the pistol and the
stopping of'the train attracted the atten-
tion OF Conductor P. B. Wilkinson, who
rushed out and was Immediately fired
upon. He returned to the train. Mr..
Charles Hughes, Of Jackson, Tenn,
then ran out with Winchester rifle. AS
he stepped on the ground from the
smoking car hG was fred upon. One
shot struck him in the left arm. An
other went through his stomach, intlict-
ing a fatal wound. The death Of the
young man was very sad, as he was the
only support OF his widowed mother.
The robbery was done in the regular
highway style. Both OF tho robbers
were masked. DloOdhounds will be
used to follow the trail.

means dishonesty, and then kneel Gown

A mans guilt for dishonesty is not
lessened because his name is not on the
church roll.
God expects every man to be true and
do his duty. Church membership does
not inrrease these duties, but helps him
to perform them-helps him to realize
that Sundays worship and Mondays
trade are parts OF one life which is re-
sponsible to God.
Young men, don't pattern your lie af-

Union Square, the Five Points and tho
fire scene on Baxter street being the
most realistic. In the last, steam en-
