young man was taken from the place where
left and carried some distance and nut in a
gully, and turned over. While this was
not approved of by the right thinking peo-
pie of the town, yet it was put down to the

services in the church or Immediately after.
while the young man was seeing a young
lady home, his road cart was taken from
the church, carried q considerable distance
and put in gully, and his lines were cut

places
