Rev Taylor's Coed Work.

No man In this county is doing more
work in the Masters Vineyard than
Rev. Ii. r. Taylor of this town. In
fact he is the greatest hustler in the
cause of Christ that we know of and
whenever he tacklesa community the
Devil takes down his sign at once
Rev. Taylor is big and hearty and
handsome. with GENIAL way about
HIM that makes friends everywhere he
goes and he goes everywhere he can
do good. without money and without
price. He takes whatever his people
pay him and gets enough to live, but
earns more than any other preacher in
the county, although he does not get
It, He has just closed a pfotracted
meeting over at the Reckard School
House that captured that whole Sec
ton and routed the Devil entirely.
There was no church and many of the
people of the community did not be-
long or attend church. He opened M
in the school house and closed with
30 conversions and SO accessions to the
church and got the people started to
build fine church at once, to cost g..
200. 1t will be located on ground do
mated by Morg Wilhelm, Just below
Henry postoffice. They laid off the
lot TO begin work Monday of this week
and the same day another of Rev. Tav-
lor's fiocks began work on a church at
the Casteel School House. in Portland
district. Then on Monday Rev. Tay-
Tor himself was making a move here In
kingwood to build church for his de-
nomination, the United Brethren.
They want to locate il ont in West
kingwood, in a beautiful grove on the
pic mic grounds, between the pike and
Ed Messengers If they can get the site.
Mr. Messenger makes a very fayora bic
ofter in regard to building it. so that
no money will have to be paid over till
the church is erected and the price is
so low that they will likely accept his
propositioR. Beginning work on two
churches and arranging to build an
other all in one dav, is bad b lck-set
for dis Satanic Majesty and breaks the
record so far as we know

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.

A deplorable accident occurred
near Bruceton last Friday morning
about nine o'clock. in which Dorsey
Wolfe. the seventeen year old son
of l.. III. Wolfe, who lives about
three miles from Bruceton was in
-stantly killed. The unfortunate
young man was ont hunting with
Ho. ca Collins, a son OF Luther Col.
Inns and when about half a mile
from home and while they were
short distance apart, ColIius
heard the report of gun and look.
ing toward Wolfe, saw him fall.
Collins ran to him only in time to
see him gasp few times and ex-
pirc. Wolfe was carrying u 3S
calibre rifle in his left hand and
the trigger evidently caught on a
bush in some way, pulling the
muzzle of the gun up towards his
side and discharging it. Tho yonng
man evidently turned to see what
was wrong. as the gun exploded
andthe bullet cut through the cap on
his watch and entered between the
fifth and sixth rib, ranging upward
through the apex of his heart and
coming out on his right side, kill
ing him instantly. Collins ran for
help and messenger was dlrpatch-
ed for DR.. j. s. Nedrow, of Bruce
ton. while others carried the bod
home to the grief stricken family.
The physician could do nothing
for him Of course, except to exam
inc into the manner of his death.
The funeral took place Sunday at
the Hopewell church, and the bur.
ial in the cemetery at Bruceton
about noon.

MORE GREEN GOODS.

1t IS an old saying that "there is
nothing new under the suu," but
this like all the other old saws has
TO be reset. This time it is a wom :
an who breaks the record and dis
covers something new in the way of
green goods. Not counterfeit
presentmeut either, but a genuine
aud very palatable offering. But
We will let you into the secret. so
that others may profit by it. Not
long since we had the pleasure of
eating some delicious greens that
we're as fresh and nice az "
they had just been gathered from
the garden and cooked for that
meal. Upon inquiry we learned
that the relish was a sample Of Mrs.
Elisha Thomas's ingenuity and
that she was in the habit OF put
ting up green's ar tight every year
same - fruit and thus have the
dish the year around. You simply
gather the greens and cook them
same % II 700 we're preparing them
for dinner and then put them up
IN glass or stone jars and seal up
tight with wax. Then when you
open them for use you warm them
over and season 20 suit. We hope
more Of our people will try this
plan hereafter, - a delicious dish
Of fresh greens is luxury in the
sinter time 10 this country, when
ge are too far from the markets TO
get any fresh vegetables or green
goods.

ANOTHER STORE ROBBERY.

There was an interesting trial in
Justice Flynns court here Tuesday
night. Cookies store at llowesvIlle
had been robbed again the night
before, and Vincent Cooke came
down Tuesday and swore out war
rants for John and George Homer,
sons of Charley Homer, who lives
out in that Settlement about three
miles from Kingwood. The boys
are only eleven and twelve years
old, but evidently guilty, as they
were in the score at Howesvllle
Monday night till it closed, and
some of the goods taken, such as
pencils, knives, rules, etc., were
found in their possession next day.
Deputy Sheriff Shaffer went out to
the Savage School and arrested the
boys and brought them in. The
trial took place In the Court House
that night and the boys admitted
having the articles, but claimed a
man named Meats had com mitted
the robbery and given them the
things to keep them from telling
on him. They had broken out a
large pane of glass and only taken
a few small articles. They we're
held under $500 bond to appear at
the coming term Of court, and will
likely be sent to the Reform School.
This is the second time that Cookies
store has been robbed this winter
and they are becoming strong rivals
