Tuesday evening ut about 8 o'clock one
OF the boldest and best executed robberies
on record occurred. People were passing
up and down the street, many on their way
TO tho opera house, aud Mr. Samuels, one
of tho proprietors of the jewelry store was
standing within few feet of the show win
dow, when suddenly there was tremen-
dous crash. Tho form Of white man mp
peared ct the window for BRIT space OF
time then disappeared, taking with him q
tray containing twenty-nine diamond rings

A poor man who was working in Hams
meat market, was horribly burned last
week and is still in very critical condi-
ton. He was trying to scald hog when
he fell over in the kettle of boiling water.
As he was being taken to the city hospital,
his surerings were so great that he jumped
ont of the wagon.
Rev Dixon Williams has been preaching
here since last Wednesday. We went out
to hear him Friday night and he preached
n soul stirring sermon on "Man's Account
ability to God" There were $500 people
in the audience that night and from all ac-
counts there are just as many every night.
Tomorrow he breaches to ladies only and
sometime the following week he will preach
to men only.
The new Baptist church is going up just
MS rapidly as the collections are made, The
material is nll paid for so the only actual
expense is for the work, and the idea pre-
walls that there must be no Indebtedness
hanging over the church, so there are not
as many workmen employed As there
should be-.

young lady she is visiting, just exactly at
IL o'clock The pastor was ready to close |
his sermon, but made remark or two after |
they came Ito keep them from feeling bad

the whispered comments passed upon them
as they tripped bashfully up the aisle to the
very front seat.
That paint was put on with n BRUSH"
said one lady to another; Eyes. and I'll bet |
her fnce is enameled, too" said tho other.
Her beautiful eyes We're also the subject of
sharp criticism, we heard this remark from
IN elderly lady; She has been taking bel
adonna. can tell from her eyes" Can't
one have bright eyes without tnking bella
ionna? If she had come to church in a
'easonable hour she whould not have made
leraelf the conspicuous subject of adverse
criticism. 1t is good idea to stay away
entirely if you can't get to church before
he sermon is half oyer
