MAGNO'S MESSAGE,
NEW YEARS SMILES.
Instructive Sermons at the
Churches.
HIS WIFE LEAVES HIM AND OAR
RIES A SURPLUS OF $500.
Sickness and Death in the Ward-A Sal
walton for the True RefOrmers-0ther
Brevities.

New Year came to us a-smiling not
it tickied our ears and
pinched our toes as we started the
Journey of another year. The brilliant
suns reminded US OF the goodness of
God, and His willingness to guide and
protect us, while the acute ague OF the
atmosphere was q reminder of Gods
wisdom in the change of season.
sunday seemed to have been a re-
production of New Years Day. While
the frigid atmosphere abounded, our
churches were well attended and in
strnctive sermons delivered.
At the Ebenezer Baptist Church,
Rev. Richard Wells preached an ex-
cellent sermon, taking as his subject,
"Treat thy Nelghbor as Thyself." 1t
was indeed grand discourse, and il ad-
vice is taken, much good will be done.
Rev. R. o. johnson, pastor of the
Moore Street Church was at his best
on last Sunday morning He took as
| his subject Lead me and guide for
Thy name sake;" and besought his
hearers to start the year with this
prayer.
The services at the other churches
we're also equal to the occasion.
1t was reported on last Tuesday ev-
Il ening that a certain woman bad lef
her husband and mounted the "iroI
horse" with $500 of her husbands MOI
ey for some northern point. The hus-
band seemed somewhat wrought VI
over the affair, but talks little. II i
said that she left the city in the after
noon followed four hours later by on

won. The recount showed only 270 bal

this informally could not be tolerated
again.
When the certificate from the Second
Election district Of the Eighth Represen-
tative district was called. Mr. Hawkins
arose and moved for suspension of the
count while he read an affidavit. The de-
position was that of William p. Hardesty,
Democratic judge of that district, who
swore that the inspector and judges fraud
ulently or mistakenly refused to count
and certify to seventeen ballots and that,
therefore, the said certificate did not dis
close the correct state Of election Of that
