SHOT IN THE LEG.
While Trying to Break Into ORATOR
Residence.
Grafton Sentinel


On Tuesday morning about O'Clock
Robert Summers, a resident OF Addi-
son street, east end, was awakened by
the noise OF some one trying to force
an entrance to his home, by prying UP
a window. Mr.. Summers got up hur-
riedly from his bed and getting his
shot gun let go full charge of buck
shot at the retreating house-breaker,
who proved to be negro stranger to
the community. The shot took effect
in the negro's lower limbs. He tried
to get away but the injury to his I'M
derpinning was too severe and he did
not go far until he was compelled TO
stop. His wounds were very painful.
He was taken into Fishers shoe shop
near by and the police notified. An
ambulance was sent up and the house
breaker WAS brought down and placed
in the county jail, where DIR. Powell,
the Jail physician, after extracting a
half hundred shot, more or less, from
the fellows limbs dressed his wounds.
He is still in Jail where he will be kept
until he is able to undergo prelimin-
AIRY trial. When taken Ia charge the
negro had bundle of clothes with
him which Mrs. J M. Hamilton iden-
titled as her property. They bad been
taken from the clothes line where they
had been left the night before. A
white man was seen in company with
the negro but he made his escape.
The negro says his home is in Cincln-
natl and that he had arrived in town
only few hours before the above affair
took place. His injuries may cripple
him for life No charge has been laid
against Mr.. Summers, it seemingly
being conceded that he had performed
a public service in what he did.

The Newspaper as an Advertising Me-
dunn.

The safety of the investment and
the amount OF profit which may be
expected are the most important
points to be considered in the mat
ter of advertising. The business
man does not use discretion
and follow a method in selecting an
advertising medium in which to ex,
plot his establishment would make
poor use of the money set aside fol
advertising purposes. There is nc
agency through which the advertis
er may place his trade announce
ments so promptly and extensively
before the public as through thor
oughly wideawake and largely cir
culated newspaper
The regularity Of the appearance
of such journal, the vast and i'm
portant information which it dis.
seminates and its influence as an ex
ponent of the hest educational ideas
constitute unquestionable evidence
of it's stability and popularity. Nee
essarily, therefore, the announce
ment made through the advertising
columns of a newspaper OF that char.
acter and standing must have q
weight and momentum in some de-
gree corresponding, and must be
highly instrumental in directing
patronage to the advertisers.

One Mans Influence.

Every community OF the size OF
Grafton has some man who has brain,
and influence enough to promote the
welfare Of his town II he should chose
to exercise them. He might do it by
inducing foreign capital to come into
the community for the purpose OF
manufacturing some article for home
and foreign consumption. He can al
ways do it by organizing the s'dead''
capital Of the citizens Of the commu-
nifty and establish some industry
which will employ the men and wom-

NJ. r. CHURCH.

Rev. Mr. Berrian Corresponding
Secretary of the Board of Ministerial
education of the Methodist Protestant
church filled Rev. Barnes pulpit at
the M. p. church Sunday morning.
He preached an impressive sermon
which set forth the aims and needs OF
the board be represents in plain aud
easily to be understood manner.
In the evening the Sunday School
under the management of Mr.. Frank
Weaver gave their annual Children's
Day Service, the church was hand
somely decorated with flowers ETC.,
the audience was large and the chill
dren acquitted themselves finely in
their songs, speeches, dialogues and
tableaux, and the choir sang several
pieces of special music.
Rev. Mr.. Berrian addressed the au-
dience in behalf of Foreign Missions,
telling them of missions all over the
world and especially Of our own mis-
sion conference in Japan and our new
mission work in China, of their school
college and church and made an ap-
peal for the assistance OF the church
to assist the Board in pushing for

BAPTIST CHURCH.

The children's Day exercise at the
Baptist church Sunday night, was
quite success. The children had
had only one week of practice but
acquitted themselves well.
The recitation by five young girls,
pleading that churches be established
in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, ETC.,
was exceedingly well rendered.
The exercise was rather patriotic
one and flags were among the decora-
tions. Very appropriate words were
sung by the choir, to the tune of
"Star Spangled Banner"
After this, the Cuban brothers,
rendered their national patriotic hymn.
They first played it on the piano as a
duet.
Then Henry sang it. accompanied
by Edward. The hymn is full of
melody. The singer possesses a rich,
sweet voice, and at the end of the
song, there was suppressed ripple of
applause.
The. offering for building chapels
was collected by four little girls dress
ed in white.
A large audience attended the ex-
ercise, and we feel sure that it was
enjoyed by all.

IMMENSE MAJORITY.
Railroad Bonds Carried Almost
Unanimously on Saturday.

Every Precinct Shows Mere than the
Required fhree-fifths Majority
Tremendous Vote Casi-Interest Ia

showed I lear ont Of Sight->ke has
Been Built.
The election on Saturday for the
subscription to the stock OF the Nor
gantown and Kingwood railroad COM
pany resulted In a ratification OF the
proposition by a majority that was
simply immense. IL had one hundred
and ninety more votes than was need
ed TO have the three-flfths majority re-
quired by law. But thirty more votes
would have given it four-flfths of the
votes in favor of the plan.
This was ON a full vote Every
vote in the district was cast with but
very few exceptions. There was a
larger vote cast by seventy than there
was In the general election for Com
gresham at the last election. This
will serve to show the interest that
was taken.
Business was generally suspended
and the business men spent the day
in hustling in votes for the side that
they believed made money for them.
| Their work resulted In majority that
there is no cayil at. The people who
were opposed to it can see that the
vast majority of the people want the
road and they want it bad.
The vote in every precinct showed
more than the necessary three-fifths
majority. Had this been prophesied
before the election the man making
the prediction would have been laugh
ed at but the people were aroused and
they went like a landslide for what
they wanted. Their conclusions can
but be thought to be right or all OF
the voters would not have reached the
same result.
The news was received at an early
hour after the polls closed and was the
means of much quiet rejoicing in
town. There were no very noisy dem
constructions but everyone was quietly
satisfied and jubilant. The streets
had been crowded all day with men
discussing he election and working
with the voters and they remained
crowded until a late hour Saturday
night.
In another column will he found an
interview stating the plans of the
railroad people and what may be ex.
pected. The vote Ia each of the pre-

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
And Something about Those who Prac
tice it-A Plea for the Girls.

-
To the Editor OF the New DOMINION
There is no luxury so much in de
mand now as the girl for genera
housework and she cannot be gotten.
Whenever people learn to treat house
girls as human beings with souls,
minds and bodies like other white peo-
pie, they won't have SO much trouble
to get girls.
If a young man is employed he may
eat at the same table, sit in the par
lor, and be one of the family; but
when girl is hired, even if she be a
sister to the young man, she would
not dare to eat at the same table or
come to the parlor. She must stay
back and be treated like the colored
slaves were before the war.
This is great country to boast of
the respect for women. But this is
not much the fault of the men; it is
the fault of the women, and many OF
them are punished for their pride and
cruelty to their own sex. They can't
get house girl and they don't deserve
one.
Many very sanctimonious women
go to church on Sundays and pray
with long faces, seemingly full of love
for Christ who said: "Blessed are the
poor in spirit" but condemns the
proud and naughty.
They may claim to, and perhaps do
love the brethren, but if they love the
sisters they lie in their actions.
American girls have American blood
and it is but natural that they should
resent such treatment and refuse to
work for any of their sex who would
treat them as if they were bough
slaves.
All honor to the girl who has the
sand to uphold her dignity and de-
fend her. American rights in that all
women as we'll as all men, were created
free and equal.
If girl clerks in store or does
most any other work than in the kltch-
en- she is considered as good as other
people but the moment she begins to
bake, cook or sweep, she must be cried
down as servant, slave.
What is there about baking and
cooking that is so degrading? A man
may be baker or cook and be con-
sidered respectable, then why not a
girl. The fact is people are getting
short on common sense consideration.
Do you disrespect your mother be-
cause she bakes, cooks, washes or
sweeps? If you do you are not worthy
the name you bear. But as you stated
before many mothers are to blame for
this very spirit being taught to their
daughters and sons. They teach the
spirit that brings disrespect to their
own flesh and blood it they are poor.

expression Of the popular will, when
so clearly shown. At every voting

cess of the three fitths required by
law.
The benefits and advantages OF
the new railroad will come to us
speedily, IL we all lend a helping
hand. A few rights Of way

We all hope to get the best results

wreath rendered by the ex-Confed-

was more absurd than the refusal.
