gates to a Convention.

All nature was bright and
beautiful last Sunday. Every
body seemed to realize that by
Gods goodness it was so, and
their minds turned to him with
many thanks. Early Sunday
morning numbers of our people
could be seen going to Sunday
school and church, dressed in
their best clothes and wearing
theD happiest smiles. The
Sunday schools al the Metho-
dist church in Lutesvile and at
the Presbyterian and Baptist
churches in Marble Hill were
we'll attended.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon
the Christian congregation held
their social services. During
the services the following dele
gaies were selected to repre-
sent the church at the conven-
ton to be held at Bonne yerre
to day: Mrs. Frymire, Rev. Nc
Cans, Rev. N. M. Parsons, and
Tom Allen.
At night Rev. Oswell preached
bis maiden sermon at the Pres
byterian church. He is an able
young man, and the sermon was
good, giving evidence of culture
and refinement in the speaker.
He has been employed as pas
tor of the church here. and will
devote one fourth of his time to
it.
At II o'clock Rev. Bowman
preached at the Baptist church
to large and attentive audience.
A good attendance was motto
ed at the Christian Sunday
school at 1:3O o'clock in the af,

At eleven o'cl ock Rev. Wal;

had had fight with a playmate,
but as they were only about 6
and 10 years old respectively no
serious harm had been done. The
mother however, with that true
Christian spirit that has char

rect her boy, and when he was
saying his prayers, before retir,
that evening, she told him that he
must ask God to forgive him
for fighting the other boy. She

"Well, 'taint no use to ask

A Tota! of the Business of the
Twin Cities.

People who who give the
matter little thought have no

is S435,OOO last year. The in

HORRIBLE DEATH.
Six People Drowned In
Crooked Creek.
Daring High water There is
aTragedy.

The editor has just learned
of a horrible death that six peo-
pie met on Monday oflasu week.
While the creek was high about
4 o'clock in the afternoon, a man
with his wife and four children
from Greenville, drove into Lutes-
vile and inquired as to
how to get to Marble Hill.
He was told that there
was no bridge and had
been none for two years or
more, and the creek was very
high, but that he could probably
cross.
He was going to visit friends
in Appleton, IN the northern
part Of Cape county, and pre-
ferred to drive through instead
of going by rail, He gave his
name as James jenkins aud
gave every evidence of being in
prosperous condition. He
drove two fine bay horses,
hitched to a light spring wagon,
the outfit being worth probably
$3.50.
He drove along the road to
the upper ford of Crooked creek,
and attempted to cross. As he
got into the channel, where the
water was very deep, the horse
above lost his footing, and at
the same moment a large log
f1oated under the hack. Both
horses were thrown, and the
hack overturned. Parties who
passed by an hour later saw,
and succeeded in extricating the
horses and hack, DIS they had
lodged on the drift and rifle just
below The ford Both horses
were drowned, however.
Great excitement prevailed,
and the team was recognized by
Lulesville people, but no trace
Of the people could be found,
although the creek was diligent
ly dragged. The following
Thursday evening late a farmer
living below Latin found the
father in a drift where he had
lodged. Last Saturday, one Of
the daughters, a beautiful young
lady, was found about ten miles
further down the creek. So far
no trace of the mother and other
three children has been discov.
cred And thus are six lives
lost, and valuable property
made worthless.
The editor wishes to state
that the above story is purely,
an invention of his own, and is
untrue. But such an article,
founded on fact, is liable to ap,
pear In these columns if the
people of the Twin Cities are so
blind to their interests, and the
danger to life from the creek as
to not build a bridge across
Crooked creek at once. We
need a bridge and ought to
have it.

say that it cannot in fairness publish the
Christmas Stocking again, although copies

the few on hand are gone.

must all be in hand by December 81 at

receipt at the Providence postoffice will
be the test.
Mrs. j. G.. H.-No, the S5 gold piece will
not be divided. The first answer most
nearly correct will be given the prize. 1t
is only right that the quickness of the
replies should count for something.
Willard Eff you can't answer all the
questions send in what you can. 1t Is
altogether improbable that any one will
be able to answer every question correctly.
The las. question is guess, pure and
simple.
j. and B.-THE NEWS has no means of
examining how many are working over
the questions in its Stocking. We will
cheerfully inform you as to circulation.
Ten thousand six hundred copies OF Sat-
urday's issue were printed and thst num-
Der OF the copies of the Stocking are ac-
cordingly abroad in the land. Based on
that perhaps you can devise system"
which will tell you how many answers
will be received. Remember that every

least three readers. That makes 31,S0O

DISUNION FEARED.

There seems to be something more
than remote possibility that the unity
of the scandinavian peninsula will be
seriously weakened, if not entirely de-
stroyed, at no very distant date. The
two crowns have set uneasily upon the
head of the king for |. longer time than
the public imagines. The Norwegjans are
becoming more and more dissatisfied
with the ancient compact that binds
them and are looking forward 10 the
coming elections to discern just where
the radical element stands, and how
many supporters may be counted upon
when the crisis arrives.
The two branches of the nation have
pulled together prosperously, hereto
fore, and che king who leads the con-
servative element can scarcely be
blamed for seeing in this proposed dis
union dire disaster to the whole Scandi-
navian people. Non-union means
Republican form of government for
both Norway and Sweden and the politi-
cal decadence OF the king. Whether re-
pubics can be made to succeed in Scan
dinavia will be better known after il has
been attempted. The fate Of Brazil
would seem TO argue that all countries
cannot adopt this form of government
so successfully MS has the United States.
