Spoke Out Ia Meeting.

An amusing incident occurred at
the children's meeting at the Metho-
dist church last Sunday afternoon at
Rev. ID. v. Prices expense. which
everyone seemed to enjoy. and no one
more than Brother Price himself 3
Ever since he came to Reytesyiile
Brother Price has made headquarters
at the home Of our jolly townsman-
Lon Tooley. Among the inmates Of
the household Is a 4-year-old son
named John Dimes Tooley. The
preacher is very fond Of children and
since his stay in the home Of his dev-
CT host and hostess. has made the
children his playmates. particularly
Joha Dimes, the younger Of the THO.
When Brother Price announced the
children's service. and also before be-
ginning has talk to them. he said he
was not much Of a hand to preach to
children, but that he intended to learn
that happy art as one of the means of
saving souls.
Among his auditors was John Dimes
Too!ey, who like the balance of the
crowd Of young hopefuls, was very
much Interested in the preachers talk.
and just rs the services were concluded,
in the exuberanoe of his spirits, in
a tone that could be heard all over the
house, John Dimes exclaimed;
"Hurrah for Brother Price,"
Any one that knows Lon Tooley,
his father, win not think strange Of the
child's outspoken enthusiasm.

Din9man Waived Examinafion.

p. w. Dingman, who was lodged in
the county jail on Monday, Feb. 3rd,
charged with the brutal crime of hav-
ing attempted to Criminally assault
Myrtle ID. Atom, his wife's 7-year-old
niece, waived formal arraignment in
Justice George w. Cunningham's
court at Brunswick last Friday, and in
default of $500 bond he was again
committed to the county Jail to await
an investigation of his case by the
grand jury at the April term of circuit
court.
In addition to his attempt to crimi-
nally assault the little Atom girl it is
also said that she was given a loath-
some disease.
Dingman is 80 years of age, and at
one time ran a racket or notion store
at Brunswick, but about year ago
left his wife at that place and has since
been travelling with a magic lantern
show, exhibiting at country school
houses.

charge gwen herein xas skots ~

I Mrs. Dingman.
There has been some talk to the
effect that the prosecution of Dingmar
was prompted by spite work, but We
are not advised as to the business Of
this claim.
II he is guilty we hope he will meet
with the punishment he deserves.

outfit very hard name.
