The Hibner will case came up before
Judge Stones court last Friday. Philip
Hibner of Orange City left all of his
property, valued at about$20 900, to two
sons, making no provision for three other
children. These three children con-
test the will on the ground that the tes-
tator at the time the will was made was
not of sound mind. Judge Price appear
ed for plaintiffs and Col. Crenshaw for
defendants. Judge Stone took the case
under advisement and will give his de-
cision in few days.
Probably the most unique and pleas
ant entertainment ever gotten up by

baskets were auctioned off to the high
est bidder, and the fortunate gentlemen
who purchased them were expected to
divide the contents with the lady to
whom 1t originally belonged. Finan-
cially and otherwise the social was a
success, netting $26 to the treasury of
the Y's.

THE EFFICACY OF PRAYER.
A Little Sunday School Scholar
Gets What He PrayS For.

A prominent Sunday school teacher OF
our town vouches tor the truth of the
following story:
A little girl of DeLand was the proud
possessor of a miniature set of dishes,
which was the consuming envy of her
brother, lad several years her junior.
He begged for the dishes daily but failed
to soften the obdurate heart of the little
miss. After wasting all of his persua-
sive eloquence "on the desert air" he
resolved upon anoth er plan. So SatHr-
day night while lisping his infant prayer
at his mothers knee, much to the hor-
ror of his sister, who was an interested
listener, he prayed that his sister might
Immediately die so that he would inherit
the long-coveted dishes.
The next morning at Sunday school
the boy was delighted and surprised
when his sister presented him with the
dishes and remarked that although she
liked them very much she had rath-
er give them up than take the chances of
dying for them.
This story is snotcopyrighted, and COM
pliers of Sunday school literature are
at liberty to use it as often as eyplease.

THE LOCK IS OPENED
And r. A. Hull is Elected to the
MarshalShip.


The City Council deadlock was broken
with neatness and dispatch last Friday
night in the following manner, Mayor
Goodrich returned from Washington
last week and called meeting of the
council for Friday night.
All of the councilmen we're present,
and when Mayor Goodrich announced
that he had accepted the resignation Of
j. Y. Parce as president of the council.
It then became evident to every close OBJ
server that the combination Of the
deadlock had been found and that it
would forthwith be unlocked.
It was the understanding among the
Stevenson faction that none of them
would accept the presidency, but there
was evidently a misunderstanding
somewhere, for when ]. S. May nOmina-
ted A. p Davis, who received three
votes, and was declared elected, he
gracefully took the chair.
This broke the deadlock and defeated
Stevenson. The following is the vote n
the roll call for the election of marshal:
For R. A. Hull-May, Parce, Ross.
For Henry Stevenson = Dreka and
Dunn, 2.
Mr.. Hull was declared elected marshal
and sworn in by the mayor.
Silas B. Wright, for city CLERK, and w.
A. Allen, for CT Hector and treasurer,
were unanimously elected, theirs being
the only applications for the offices on
file.
Mr.. Wright was sworn in as clerk.
The election OF a city attorney was
postponed until the next meeting, and,
the council adjourned.

Sport for Children.


Boys and girls are often spoiled by
parental gloom. The father never un-
bends. The mothers rheumatism hurts
so she does not see how little Maggie
can ever laugh. Childish curiosity is
denounced as impertinence. The par
lor is parliament, and everything in
everlasting order. Balls and tops in
that house are nuisance, and the pap
that the boy is expected to relish is
geometry, a little sweetened with the
chalk of blackboards. For cheerful
reading the father would recommend
" Young's Night Thoughts " and Her.
vey's "Meditations Among the Tombs. -
AT the first chance the boy will break
loose. With one grand leap he will
clear the catechism. He will burst
away into all riotous living. He will
be so glad to get out of Egypt that he
will jump into the Red Sea. The hard
est colts to catch are those that have
a long while been locked up. Re-
straints are necessary, but there must
be some outlet. Too high dam will
overflow all the meadows. -Tdlmoge, IN

Live Prayers.

After a prayer-meeting, at which a
female had been among those who spoke
aloud in prayer, a person slightingly
observed, " AS for that woman, she
could pray all night" Yes" replied
a devout friend, land l do not doubt
that she has often done So" This was
a first-rate reply. OF how few could it
have been spoken. Yet those who are
much in prayer alone are those who
pray to purpose in the assembly. You
can tell The other sort, however ready
their utterance. 1t is as per usual. 1t
is parroty, too glib to be earnest, too
professional TO be deep. This kind of
praying is mist which does not wet
you, "A fire which does not warm you.
You could sleep from I" Our Father" to
" Amen y under such performance.
Yet it is very good ana proper. There
is nothing the matter with it, except
that il is dead-dead as the woman s
child, which neither of the two mothers
cared to own, in Solomon's court. Oh,
for more living children!-we mean
true, crying, struggling prayers. These
can only come from those who in pri-
vate wrestle and weep and prevail. An
occasional break.d down is very refresh
ing. To observe heart TOO full to
express itself with the tongue is most
arousing to the soul. Oh, that some of
our brethren would or could break
down They are too far gone in
routine to be able to rise into the nat
ural, much less into the spiritual.
While such machines press like night
mare on our prayer-meetings things
can not much improve. Oh, for de-
liverance l-SpurgeOn.
