Central1a Coon dubbed.

Saturday evening about 7:30
O'Clock, Joe Hoffman, a big Contra
liza "coon,' while in an intoxicated
condition, tried to board a local
freight. The conductor would not
allow him to do SO, and in trying
to jump on the conductor knocked
him from the platform. The negro
became Infatuated, and as trouble
was expected, IAN officer was sent for.
Officer Bunton, with the assistance
of o. R. Waite, started him off in
the direction of the caiaboose.
When they had gotten to Judge
Edwards corner, Joseph became
very obstreperous, and wanted to
teach Bunton that he was emo
Mexico coon, but a Centralia
Niger" Bunton hit him several
hard blows with his cane which
enver ''fazed" him. The negro
then came at him savagely, and in
stepping backward to get a better
chance at the negro, Bunton STEP
ped off the walk, and when he had
recovered himself Waite had the
negro fiat on his back. No more
difficulty was experienced with
this member of the 'possum
brigade of Centralla. He was this
morning fined $27. so for drunken
ness and resistance of the officer.
His broad soul will be confined
within the city industrial school.

j. v. Williams on Sunday School
Work.

WOrk.
Mr. J. V. Williams returned last
night from st. Louis, where he at
tended the Union Sunday School
Convention. We give below a
synopsis of talk made by him,
taken from the St. Louis Republic.
Mr.. J. V. Williams of Mexico,
Mo-, spoke at length on individual
work. On this, said the speaker,
depended to a great degree the
success of the work. He said that
too much fine talking and reasoning
was being done, and not enough
work. To succeed everyone must
work in the common cause and
work together and with a vim.
True, good men and women were
needed in the ranks OF active
workers. The little children, Re
said, were capable of doing a very
great deal of good. To carry on
this work successfully would ne
cessitate the expenditure of a great
deal of money. The society
would need to send out organizers
and hard workers into the fields,
and doing this would be expensive,
therefore he asked for the liberal
support of all interested In the
noble work. He advised all Chris
tlans who had money lying by
rusting, to shell it out, as they
must have it.
"Don't you know" said the
speaker, sthat God made every
little boot-black and every scream
ing news-boy, and that it is of the
utmost Importance that they bt
educated thoroughly. They r o
as much Importance as the million
aire, and they should receive goot
treatment at our hands"
