TESTIMONIAL TO REV ME roLLEs.


 The surprise party given by the people of the Methodist church to their former pastor, Rev Mir Tolles, was a splendid success. MT Toles, who has been in poor health for some time, returned a short time ago from Colorado, having to give up parish in that state, and on his return a number of his former parishiOn CTS conceived the idea of giving a pound sociable for his benefit. So on Tuesday evening, November 10, the people began to gravitate toward the class room of the Methodist church, all carrying 8 pound of something, and when all had arrived and presented their offering to the con- nittee there was no longer pound soc- able but sOciable with many pounds of the good things of life to back it up. Rev Mir Tolles was visiting, that evening, at the residence of MT Wilder. Rev MT Ford, the present pastor of the church, asked him to come down to the lecture room of the church as there was a num- Der of the young people gathered there who would be pleased to see him, MT Toles readily consented to meet with the young people. On his arrival at the church he was immediately surrounded by those present and then the meaning of the whole thing seemed to dawn upon him. A purse of $47 was presented to him, besides 8 good many pounds of those things which go to make life pleas ant in the household. MT Tolles was af- fectcd to tears and thanked the people heartily for their kindness and good will the expression of which must ever re- main a pleasant episode in his memory.

Two Violent Shocks Of Earthquake
Thursday Morning.
Great Britain has been in the throcs Of
genuine and unprecedented sensation. An

from London to the Welsh coast. The

ticed about $40 o'clock Thursday morn.
Ing and listed from four to thirty sec.
onds. At many points two distinct
shocks were experienced. The most
severe shocks were felt at Cheltenham.
1.edbury and Dean Forest. The earth.
shaking was accompanied by a loud.
rushing sound. Buildings were violently
shaken, furniture was shifted, doors were
thrown open and pictures and other or.
naments were upset. The inhabitants
were panic-stricken and fed from their
houses. The earthquake also visited
birmingham and various other points In
Shropshire, and was violent In Worcester
and the country surrounding that city.
Houses rocked and furniture was over.
turned. The shocks were followed By .
tremor OF the earth and were accom-
panied By q rumblins sound. The great.
ct alarm prevailed everywhere. Chin
neys were overthrown and windows, etc.,
