BUF0RD'S BLUFF.
0bstreperOuS COIOred Man
Refused to Be VaCCinated.

Tuesday evening DR.. R. O..
Owen, under the direction of the
board of health, went to the home
of Phil Buford, a negro living near
the pest house, for the purpose Of
vaccinating that gentleman and his
family. Buford firmly and in no
gentle terms refused to submit or
allow any member of his family to
be treated.
DR.. Owen returned to town, Sc
cured the assistance of Mayor Shee-
han and Marshal Ledbetter and
again proposed vaccination. Bu-
ford insisted that ne had had
smallpox when a boy. DR.. Owen
then asked him whether ne had
ever been vaccinated, and was told
that he had-sometime in 50 or
'S6. This story naturally proved
the falsity of BufOrd's entire state
ment, and the doctor insisted on
proceeding with his work. The
intended victim then gave out the
information that there was not
enough men in town to vaccinate
him, and at once put himself on
the defensive Mayor Sheehan
took up a position to the right of
Buiord and insisted on peaceable
submission. using as an argument
therefor a pistol of no small di-
mensions. Billy Simms, who had
come up during the argument
gained possession of Buford's left

A STEER ON THE TRACK.
Pulled Off by Main Strength-A
Mule Story.

As last evenings flyer was near
ing Welch a small herd of cattle
was encountered on the track. The
engineer put his train under con-
troll and quite fortunate it was. All
the cattle except one little steer
left the track. He "gOi gay" and
tried to outrun the train-a diff
cult feat when it happens to be the
Katy flyer. Coming to a bridge,
the animal fell through, or at least
its legs did, and the engineer got
of and dragged il from the track,
employing the tail as a handle, by
main strength. The steer pitched
of, head first into the ditch, prob.
ably five or six feet, but it got up
and run off. A great many trains
have been wrecked by running
upon animals on bridges, and an
incident of this kind occurred at
KelsO a few years ago. G.. w.
Green's mule tried to out run a
freight train. The engineer was
too much for him, but it cost the
railroad company five thousand
dollars to demonstrate that its
trains were faster than a mule.
Mr.. Green wanted pay for the
mule, but the company declined
on the ground that the mule was
killed in town. Green thought
that the concession of calling Kelso
a town was compensation enough
and dropped the claim.

THE PREACHERS POINTS.
Synopsis of Sunday Sermons
at the Churches.
NJ. f. CHURCH SOUTH.


Our Savior Jesus Christ hath abolished
death. and hath brought life and imuor-
taliiy to light through the gospel. Ill Tim
Oihy. T. 10.
The great question is that of life.
With life many things are possible
and without which all things would
seem as nothing. The physical
life is of natural birth, but spirit
ual life is that of induction The
Lord said to Nicodemus: you
must be born again" All is for
naught unless born of spiritual
life.
Men and churches may be per
feet in appearances, and if spirit
ual life Is wanting all is as moth.
ing. Religion is a thing of life, it
is not church duties performed or
appearances, it is the union of the
soul with Christ. Science is un-
satisfactory. We read-In the
beginning all things were made.
This surpasses all other declara-
tions and settles the question with
us.
We are not satisfied with evolu-
ton. God made man out of the
dust. This stands out as the Rock
of Ages: "Dust thou art and unto
dust shalt thou return" God
created US after his own image in
the spiritual sense; and on the
material God has stamped his own
image. All that make up true
manhood lies in the unseen.
knowledge of material things is
heeting. We admire Niagara Falls
and the rainbow, but Interest in
these is soon lost. With spiritual
things there is a difference. The
more you read the Bible the more
you find Of interest, and the more
you see of beauty in Christ and his
character. The Bible and the
character of Christ have been stud
led more in the last ten years than
in any previous decade.
The mine of gems give beautiful
changes of light as explorations
are made. Every step heaven
ward causes new beauties of heav-
enly light. Our physical natures
feed on material things but spirit.
uality feeds on heavenly things. |
We conform TO the image of Christ
by partaking spiritual food. To
know God is eternal life, and if |
you are a Christian you have this
eternal life now. Death hath been
abolished in Christ. Physical |
death is the gateway TO eternal
iOy.
