III
/bedicatory and Confirmation Service.
y 4 large and intelligent congrega'
ton was attracted to Christ's church
last Sunday to witness the solemn
service by which the sacred building
was dedicated to God.
Bishop Randolph, Bishop of the
Diocies of Southern Virginia was
present, and in an able, eloquent
sermon-his principal theme being
love-concccrated the holy structure
tothe Great Givcr of All Good.
1t must have been proud day for
Mr.. Garter, the popular Rector, as
he stood and beheld the earthly tenn
ple, for the building of which he has
relcntlessly toiled and worked for
many long months, now standing be-
fore him, a monument to Christiani-
fy, completed and being turned over
to the great God of the universe.
After the usual beautiful and sol
emn service of the Episcopal Church,
and at the close Of Bishop Randolph
sermon, FIVE parties presented them
selves at the altar and were con
frmed.
The Lords Supper was partaken
of sitter the confirmation service.
An evening service was also held
at which two other parties presented
themselves for confirmation.

Seven Lives Crushed Out I'm

Seven Tramps Less for the Coun-
tryto Feed.
Little thought the seven poor out
casts from humanity and respectable
ity-the seven common tramps-who
huddled together for nap on the l..
and N. track last Thursday evening,
about a mile west Of Big Stone Gap,
that for the last time they were look
ing upon the golden hucs and heay-
enly tints Of an evenings sunset.
Little thought had they for father,
mother or home. They were only
following their natural inclination
and disposition that has gradually
grown and developed in them from
the day of their birth. Perhaps. ever
since they were large enough to tot
ter around their fond mothers they
have been taught to look upon the
the blue canopy of Heaven as their
only covering and the hard earth as
their only resting place.
What could have been the feelings
of the engineer who controlled that
ponderous and merciless iron mon
ster as he looked out the front win
dow of his cab and beheld, huddled
upon the track, that Unconscious
pile of uncouth beings and realized
the fact that he was powerless to
save them.
The danger-signal shrieked out
loud and long, the engine was quick
ly reversed, but not one of the poor
unfortunates stirred.
On sped the mighty monster, each
second drawing death nearer and
nearer. The final moment comes
the engineer closes his eyes to shut
out the horrible scene, and attempts
to stop his ears to prevent hearing
the wild, inhuman shrieks that come
from the poor beings as their flesh
and bones are being crushed, ground
and mangled under the heavy
wheels.
a moment Of fearful suspense, and
all is over.
There is nothing left to represent
the seven poor outcasts except here
and there, along the railroad track,
gasping head with glaring eyes,
quivering piece Of flesh, or per-
chance severed foot.
Horrible indeed was the sight to
gaze upon.
No papers of any kind were found
on the persons Of any of the unfor-
Inmates by which they might be
identified.

Later in the day it was learned
that the seven tramps had called
that morning at the residence Of Mr..
Letcher Slemp for something to eat.
On hearing Of the accident Mr.. Slemp
hurried to the scene, and there be-
fore him, ground almost into sausage
meat, lay seven of the most promis-
ing hogs he owned.
