Referring to the trial of Kinnard,
now in the Ironton Jail for safe-keeping,
the Van Buren, Local of the 9th inst.
says: Circuit Court meets here next
Monday. The most important case
that will come before it is the trial of
James Kinnard for murder. 1t will be
remembered that he was tried at the
called term last winter and Xmas eve
was found guilty by a jury, his punish
ment being assessed at fifteen years in
the penitentiary. The finding of the
jury did not go on to sentence as the
counsel for the defense discovered an
error in the Indictment and the defend
ant was taken to st. Louis Jail for safe
keeping pending the action of the grand
jury. 1t will take several days to try
this case and may necessitate another
adjourned term" Kinnard was taken
to Van Buren, at the time indicated. but
Judge Wear declared the regular term
''Off," and kinnard was brought here
to remain in custody of Sheriff Fisher
until his trial is had.
The following is taken from The

one denomination into another: Rev.
J. NJ. Bedding, of Maryville, closed the
two weeks of meetings he has been con-
Quoting in this place Ironton) on the
9th inst. These meetings have been
wonderful in their effect upon all classes
in the community. Among the con-
verts were some from Catholicism, and
alcoholism. Some 80 have united with
our church, while many have gone in
to sister churches. Every church has
been greatly strengthened. At an af-
ternoon temperance meeting about 20
young people signed the pledge and
organized temperance army. A. Y.
z. 5. c. +. was organized and the
church has taken on new life and hope.
Rev. w. Fl. Roberts, the pastor, is full
of rejoicing"
Rev. Trimble, recently appointed
pastor in charge of the NJ. f. church,
here, has been quite sick ever since his
arrival and is still in serious condi- |
ton. From what is learned the send |
ing of Mr.. Trimble to this place by the |
state conference was little short of an |
outrage. 1t appears that the congrega- |
ton, recognizing the fact that they |
were unable to properly support a
minister, petitioned conference not to |
make any appointment to this place
for the coming year. The presiding |
elder, whom, it seems, has charge of |
these matters, paid no attention to the |
wishes of the congregation,
but had Mr.. Trimble appointed. The
latter gentleman, of course, knew
of the condition of affairs, and |
came here shortly after conference adj
journed. He has been quite sick ever
since his arrival and has quite family |
dependent on him. They have no
means of support, and are truly strang
ers in a strange land. They should not.
nor will they be permitted, to want,
but this is the state of affairs as we
have learned them by good authority.
