s. s. Convention.

The Liberty township s. s
Convention met at New Baden
Springs ON 10th inst, as per pro-
gram. and proved to be meeting
of considerable interest.
Centre Sabbath school came in a
body and made good appearance
with its banners and badges and
goodly membership. Mrs. S. A.
Murphy, the vice President of
Liberty tp., did all in her power
to make the convention success.
The fact that two or three thresh-
ing machines were in the vicinity,
explained the absence of some S.
s., workers. The morning exer-
cises were opened with prayer and
song and enli vened by short
speeches by the vice president,
Rev. Barnes, Bros. Theo. Vanlan.
ingham, Rowland and Rev. Geo.
W. Sharp, after which the conven-
tion adjourned till 2 o'clock n. m.
After bountitul repast in which
old and young united, the conven-
tion was called to order by
Rev. Barnes, and service opened
with prayer and song, and re-
marks by county Secretary who was
urgent that every Sunday School
in the township would give full
report this year, and requested
more earnest efforts to reach tie
5000 children in the county that
do not attend any Sunday School.
Bros. Stage and G. W. Vanlaning-
ham in their earnest way, told of
the advance that had been made
in Sunday School work since tfeir
boy-hood days. With feelings
generally that our efforts had not
been in vain, but that good seed
had been sown, the convention ad.
journed after singing the doxology.

Beyond The River.

Farmers are about done thresh-
ing. Vice, Bozarth e. Co., did
the threshing for this community.
Miss Honor Saudry will teach
the Bald Knob school the coming
winter.
Rev's. Lattimer and Sharp of
the G. =. church held basket
meeting at Centre last Sunday
A good crowd was in attendance.
The great and growing need of
this community is a church build
ing. Who will be the first to
start a subscription for that pur-
pose? We believe it can be built
easily.
The meeting at Baden is still in
progress. A large crowd was
present o" Sunday.
There is considerable sickness
in this vicinity just now, confined
principally to children and aged
people.
Miss Laura Bushey and Miss
Grace Walker are visiting at w.
e. Shahan's this week.
A good carpenter seems to be
needed in this community, as Mr..
w. P. Shott has had to refuse
several good jobs on the account
of a rush of work. He will how
ever build J. A. Truitt's dwelling
this fall.
We learn that number of
other residences and buildings
will be erected soon.
We visited the blacksmith shop
of Fl. G. rruitt at Novinger one
day this week, and found Henry
and his assistant, Geo. Berry,
busily engaged in their work. We
would compliment them on the
neat appearance Of the interior of
their shop. We believe it the
neatest of the kind that we have
ever seen, they are both young
men and splendid workmen, and
we think they are we'll worthy of
the liberal patronage which they
are enjoying.

SULLIVAN'S PENALTY.

The trial of John L. Sullivan
for prize-fghting was concluded
last Saturday, and John was
sentenced by Judge Terrell, be-
fore whom the case was tried, to
one year in Jail. The motions in
arrest of judgement and for new
trial were both overruled. The
jurors and citizens then presented
a petition recommending and re-
questing that the Judge impose 6
fine of $1,000, and that no i'm.
prisonment be inflicted. But the
Judge was obdurate and refused
to commute the sentence in any
particular. The only way to es.
cape going Immediately to prison,
was to appeal tine case to higher
court, and give bond, which he
did.
That the higher court will affirm
the sentence of the lower court i.
greatly to be desired. Sullivan
went to Mississippi with the idea
that there was little regard fol
law in that state, and that it would
be an easy matter to set it at def
ance and escape the penalty. He
defed the laws of Mississippi, and
didit FOR money. The burglar
train robber, and highwaymar
do not do any more. To pay 9
fine of $1,000 would have been as
nothing to Sullivan; indeed his
friends who uphold him III law
breaking would have paid it for
him. Judge Terrell who refused
to listen to public opinion, and in
fiicted the severest penalty under
the law, has done righteous act,
and should receive the hearty
commendation of the people of
Mississippi, not only, but the en-
tire nation.
