SERMON TO KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.-
Rev. Forrest j. Prettyman deliver
ed a sermon to the members of
Washington Lodge No. l, Knights
of Pythias of this city, at the South
ern Methodist Church last Sunday
morning. The lodge attended in a
body. Aside from it's connection
with the occasion the sermon was
one that all could apply to the af-
fairs of life and become better men
and women. His text was upon the
theme "Quit yourselves like men,
and for mastery and convincing
sermon we have heard none better.
Reciting from history he showed
how the knights in the days OF chiy.
airy were created, and then coming
to the later days applied the teach
ings of christianity in the upholding
Of fraternity among men. At times
most eloquent, at others plain in adj
vice and truth, it was at all times a
discourse OF power aud practical
benefit.

A BULLET AT LEAST los YEARS
OLD.-Wbiie manufacturing shingles
/ near his home, at Marlowe, Mr.. j.
W. Fiayel CHANGED upon bullet that
is undoubtedly los years old. While
working with his knife it struck a
hard substance, which upon investi-
cation proved to be a small round
bullet. Mr.. S. A. Lsfevre, who was
standing by, was given the bullet,
and brought it to this city. The tree
in which it was imbedded was large
oak, and the rings which had grown
about the bullet were counted and
numbered los. AS each tree grows
it adds ring to it's growth each
year, and thus it's age could easily
be told.
