MOraliZing Paragraphs.

Restessncss in church, looking to-
ward the door every time some one
cutters, turning the leaves of Hymn
Book during the sermon, these are
not marks of good breeding.
"Prejudice' is made to do a varied
service. We have heard it applied
to those who chance to hold different
views from our own.
Special attention is called to an
ISOLATED case Of drunkenness and it is
made to do service against local
option as il the case were the rule,
when it is simply the exception. We
can generally see what we want to
see---in imagination
Didn't he roast them" was the
application made of a sermon that
the preacher made some time before
the events referred to had happened.
How easy to tit the shoe to the other
fellow
The preacher said: "Whcn the
preachers all die then we will have
union" meaning on basi, Of his
church. The conceit Of some meu.
even preachers, is amazing.
"Some men never 90 to church. "

The Trial of J. M. Wampler for
the Murder of VIM. jenkins.

The trial of j. NJ. Wampler for
the murder of VIM. Jenkins was
commenced in the County Court on
Saturday. Hon. j. II. Stuart is
presiding at the trial. The Jury is
composed of Russell County'S best
citizens as follows: BENZ. Bundy, w.
L. White, j ID. Stinson, II. +. Grey,
c. w. Grant, n II. Perkins, n. b.
Ferguson, Thos. j. Gilmer, Ii. l..
Stinson, D. G. Lsmpkins, Frank
Hanson. and n. b. Garrett, and it is
sale to predict thst their verdict will
be strictly in accordance with the
law and evidence.
Up to this time g P. m. Tuesday,
there has been about ten witnesses
introduced for the commonwealth, in
addition to the dying statement OF
VIM. Jenkins. The first witness for
the Commonwealth was Mrs. DR..
Ash, who testified as follows: Was in
her room at Norton on day Of shoot
ing. Saw Wax and Wampler at
Jenkins Office that day, but jenkins
was not there. Saw Jenkins going
up the street prior to the shooting
toward where Wax and Wampler
were standing aud Jenkins stepped
off the walk to pass them, and ust
as he stepped back upon the walk
Wampler fired.
Mrs. Scott, John w. Bates and
Johnny Bates. Jr, testified practical
ly to the some thing.
1t is probable that the trial will
continue until next week, as there are
something like 40 more witnesses to
be examined and the argument will
likely continue two or three days.
