Circuit Court Adjourned on Saturday.

When we went to press last week the
will case of Gillespie VS.. Peery was then in
progress, the trial of same having COM
menced on Wednesday, the Dist. 1t was
not concluded until Saturday at II o'clock
a. M, when the jury came in and reported
that it coald not agree, whereupon it was
discharged by the judge. This case was
very hotly and ably contested by both
sides. Mrs. Mary Ann Gillespie, the con-
testant of the will, was represented by
Messrs. Chapman & Gillespie and Henry
4 Graham, while the propounder of the
will, Mr.. Henry 7. Peery, was represented
by A. J. & S. d. May; +. s. Blair and V.
l.. Sexton. The parties in interest are
largely connected in the community, and
the result was that the court house was
filled during the trial with large and in
terestcd audience. Nearly fifty witnesses
were put upon the stand.
The case was very forcibly argued by
Mr.. Chapman and Major Henry for Mrs.
Gillespie, and Mr.. S. D. May and Capt. F.
S. Blair for Mr. Peery.
The trial having resulted in hung jury,
there will necessarily be another trial at
the next term Of the court.

A STREET PARADE,

at Night.

According to announcement, Bluegrass
Lodge, No. l42, l. 0. o. F. celebrated the
seventy y-eighth anniversary Of Odd Eel
lowship in the United States, on the 26th
inst. The day was bright and beautiful
and everything seemed to conspire to
make the celebration success. At 8 o'clock
the members of the lodge assembled at
their hall and formed behind the Jaeger
Concert Band. There were about thirty
members in line and they mached west
from the hall on Main street to a point
opposite Dr. Nye's, where they turned and
marched east along same street to a point
opposite Dr. Hulford's, where they
turned and marched back to the town hall.
There the very interesting programme
which was published in our last issue was
fully carried out. The ceremonies we're
impressive and were enjoyed by the men,
bers of the order as we'll as visitors who
graced the occasion with their presence
Revs. W. D. Buckner, ]. n. Harman and
]. A. Campbell made brief, but excellent
addresses. The subjects were, respectively,
"Odd Fellowship-What is it?, "Frlend-
ship and Brotherly Love" and "Universal

Of Mrs. Walton and Mrs. Hargrave and

reception Was given at the town hall. A
number of lady ard gentlemen guests had
been invited, who attended, and the wives

composed Of Miss. Alice Alexander,
pianist; Messrs w. II, Anderson, vioinist;
w. H. Kelly, first cornet; T. j. RAIDER,

and tables arranged by committee of
ladies composed of Mrs II. w. Pobst and
Misses Julia and Patty Landon, Mollie

who arranged them so tastefully in such
small space Of time. About one hundred
could lie seated. There was an abundance
of ice cream, cake in great variety, fruits
and candies After these had been
served to the guests coffee was brought in.

The sermon preached in the Methodist
church on last Sunday night by Rev. l. P.
Martin deserves a word ofcomment as well
as of praise Not often is a subjett Of that
kind dealt with so forcefully. It was an
encouragement to weak and faltering
Christians, and it was also severe rebuke
TO those who sneer at Christianity on ac-
count of the fraities which exist in the
Christian Church The following thoughts,
in part, were suggested to the writer from
the discourse:
Human nature is much the same today
as it was when the first church or society
was organized, which was, as the writer
believes, in one of the tents Of the Patri-
arch Abraham, and possibly is the only
society on record organized by the Crea-
tor himself. If we study carefully that
part of sacred history in the Old Testa-
ment which refers to Gods visible Church,
nowhere will we find perfection, or will we
find it either in the Christian Church,
which appears to have had its first organ'-
zation shortly after the day of penticost;
and in carefully studying the religious
status ofthese the first societies or churches,
they we're undoubtedly further from the
standard of New Testament teaching than
are the Christian churches of this age. To
90 back-Is it to be supposed that Abra-
hams household, which consisted Of sew
eral hundred individuals, were all men Of
God as was Abraham, and yet they all be-
came members Of this first society or
church. A pertinent question from some
would be: Why did not God create or
demand perfectly pure and holy church
at the genesis? One among the answers
NAV be given: The human family were
created with a choice to do good or evil,
and this choice exists and remains in mans
life until the spirit leaves this world; If
otherwise, then there would be no honor
or dignity or heroism i'll the church ofGod.
We know that the Apostle Paul speaks OF
Christ as presenting to himselfa glorious
church, not having spot or wrinkle or any
such thing, but that it should be holy and
without blem:sh," +" but this, | believe, re-
fers to the last millennium of the Christian
centuries. II the writer's premises are
tenable, then why should the unconyerted
