Testimony Of the Carlsons-Michael Da-
Witt Denies All knowledge.
CHICAGO, DEC. 2s--In the Coughlin trial
today Jonas Carlson, owner of the cottage
IN which Cronin was murdered, was put
on the stand to prove the connection of
Martin Burke with the conspirators, but
nothing beyond what was brought out in
the former trial was ELECTED. Mrs. Carlson
substantiated her husbands testimony.
Il was reported this afternoon that .
Juror, whose name is withheld, had OBJ
served mysterious woman, who daily
attends the trial, apparently endeavoring
TO communicate with him, and the states
attorney has taken means TO keep the
woman from the court room, and watch
has been placed over her.

Profanity in the Pulpit.

Rev. +. LowrIe Wilson, D. D., OF this village,
delivered q sermon last Sunday on some OF
the sins OF the present day, and among other
things he entered strong plea against the
oft.repeated and irreverent use Of the name
of the Almighty in the delivery OF sermons
Speaking for the Press and Banner we think
we have heard in listening to one sermon
more irreverent use OF the name OF our Maker
than we have heard on the street corners for
years.
For instance: In forty minutes we heard
one preacher say "God" IS times.
In forty-six minutes, we heard another
preacher say "God" l2s times.
One at least Of the reverend brethren used
"be damned, ,""hell," and "damnation," with
out special stint.
It seems to us that only the unrighteous are
forbidden the irreverent use OF the name oil
the Almighty, while protesting Christians
and preachers in the pulpit may use such
words at liberty. Do they not violate the
comma ndment, and do they not do 1t un'
blushingly in the presence OF ladies ana chill
dren, desecrating the holy temple Itself with
the forms OF speech which no gentleman
would dare to adopt in the presence OF ladies
in our stores, on our streets, or In their par
lorsf The veriest scapegrace on the streets
would not so far violate the proprieties as to
use profanity in the presence OF preachers
and ladies, and yet may not an ordained min
lister Of the church do this great thing in our
most sacred places of worship?

We should never employ ourselves
to discover the faults Of others; let US
look at our own. 1t is better to find
out one of our own faults than ten of
our neighbours. When a thing does
not suit you, think of some pleasant
quality in it. There Is nothing so bad
as it might be. Whenever you catch
yourself in fault-finding remark,
say some approving one in the same
breath, and you will soon be cured.
"Since the best of us have too many
infirmities to answer for" says Dean
Swift, "we ought not to be too severe
upon those of others and, therefore,
if onr brother is in trouble, we ought
to help him without inquiring over-ser-
iously what produced it,
The most ignorant people find most
to laugh at in strangers: scandal and
satire prevail most in small places.
True worth does not eXult in the
faults and deficiency of others: as true
refinement turns away from grosssness
and deformity, instead of being
tempted 80 indulge in an unmanly
triumph over it. There are some per-
sons who seem to treasure up things
that are disagreeable on purpose. The
tongue that feeds on mischief, the bab-
bling, the tattling, the sly whispering,
the impersinent meddling-all these
tongues are trespassing on the commu-
nifty constantly. The fiery tongue is
also abroad, and being set on fire of
hell, scatters fire-brands among friends
sets families, neighborhoods, Churches
and social circles In flame; and, like
the salamander, is wretched when out
of the burning element.
The black, slandering tongue is con.
stantly preying upon the rosebuds of
Innocence and virtue, the foliage of
merit, worth, genius, and talent, and
poisons with its filth of innuendoes
and scum of falsehood the most bril-
liant flowers, the most useful shrubs,
and the most valuable trees in the gar
den of private and public reputation.
BY the rule of justice, no man oug ht
to be ridiculed to any imperfection who
does not set up for eminent sufficiency
in that wherein he is defective. If
thou wouldst bear thy neighbours
faults, cast thy eyes upon thine own
Western Christian Advocate.

Moths.--Articles we'll wrapped up In

moths. These pests object to the

wretched newspapers will answer for

1t is said that In South Africa there
are birds which have this queer way OF
obtaining food: Whenever swarm OF
locusts fills the air near them the
birds fly among them and nip off the
wings of as many as they wish for,
and then descend to the ground to
feast on their fallen bodies.

Monday evening by few Of our young peo-
ple, Misses Ida and Nora Hammond had in
yited few friends in honor Of their guest
Miss Emma Sheppard, of Greenwood. who
has been spending q few days with them.
The writer thinks he can safely say the eve

Miss Sheppard returned TO her home Tuesday,
much to the regret Of the many friends she
made while here. but has promised to visit

hope she will not forget her promise, but will
come again real soon X.

City Hospital.

Why cannot the Doctors and the people es.
tablish hospital at Abbeville for the scien-
tific treatment Of difficult diseases, and where
important surgical operations may be per-
formed?
1t seems that such an institution would an
swer q public demand, and be source OF
profit Those who were able to pay could
pay, and provision might be made for others
who may not be able to pay.

---Do you despise the unpretentious
peanut? Have you ever tried them in
this way? Buy the green or unparch-
ed peanuts, parboil them, rub off the
red envelopes, spread the blanched
nuts on tin dish, treat them to but
ter, then brown them for half an
hour in q baking but not hot oven,
and when they are a light snuff color
take them out at once and salt them
while hot. Do this and you will be
mad to think that SO much of your
life has passed without your know
ledge how much better peanuts are III
that condition than almonds.

Presentment of Grand Jury.
June Term, 1893.

| June Term, 1888.
To Hon. ]. j. Norton, Presiding
Judge:
We respectfully submit for your
consideration the following:
That We have passed upon all billie
of Indictment handed to us by the
Solicitor.
That we have by commi tee of our
body since the last Term of the court
examined all the County offices, and
fiud them we'll kept, and all moneys
disbursed as directed by law. The
annu Il reports of the Treasurer, CouD-
" Commissioners, and School Com
missioner have been examined, and
we find nothing irregular, and conse-
quently no complaints to make.
We have had complaint made to us
hat the County Commissioners have
not enforced the law as to removing
RATS &C. from the streams, particular
lyin Little River from Pratt's Shoals
to the mouth. We deem it important
that this matter should be attended to,
and that, If necessary, they have 1t
done and charge the costs W to the
laud owners, 10 he col ec;ed as the law
directs.
We recommend that the Auditor
move from the office now occupied by
him into the one used by the County
Com missioners, which is next to that
of the Treasurer, and that small win
dow be made in the wall between th'
two believing that the change will
make it much more convenient for
the public and these officers. Both
of these officers concur with lis in
this recommendation. This change
will make it necessary for the Coun
ty Commissioners to occupy the of
flee now used hy the Auditor.
We have 10y committee visited the
Poor House. We tiud many things
to commend in the management, yet
feel called upon to dirt ct the attention
of the Court 10 matters which we think
demand immediate attention. Some
of the very old and infrm inmates do
not get the attention they should have
particularly as to their bedding, which
is not kept as clesnly as 1t should be.
These parties are unable to do this
work for themselves, and the Steward
should have it done for them. There
are reports made to US Of im moral prac-
tices occurring there with some of the
inmates and outside parties. We re-
commend that the County Commis>
sioners post notices that all parties
desiring to 60 there must get written
permits from them, and that parties
who visit there without permission be
considered trespassers and prosecuted
as such. We would also recommend
that the Ste ward be required to stay Oh
the premises all the time. or else have
some one in his place when away, who
eau actively attend to his duties, and
who will enforce this rule as to tres-
passers. Several of the houses out
there should be whitewashe1, and We
recommend that the County Com mis-
sioners have 1t done.
We recommend that the County
Com missioners purchase for the
Grand Jury room eighteen chairs, as
we find that they are very much
needed.
BY committee we have visited the
Jail We recommend that the inside
of it be whitewashed throughout.
We have examined the reports of all
the Trial Justices except two and find
them correct. Two of them have not
made any report, but we will direct
them to make their reports to our
foreman.
Respectfully Submitted.
