oldsville Baptist church, will preach
the dedicatorial sermon Sunday morn

built eight years ago and the small con-
gregation was obliged to go in debt to
complete it. The church was not dedi-
Gated at that time as the Baptists had
decided that ii would be best TO hold off
until the debt was lifted. Now that
everything is paid, the rites OF dedica-
tiOn will be performed in the fullest de-
gree. The pastor and congregation ex-
tends a cordial invitation to all to be
present at the service"

italian, for hunting on Sunday. Eli had
a hearing before Squire Neff Monday
afternoon, at which time the constable
swore he found Eli in the woods Sunday

Ex-Sheriff E. C. Burns, the livery
man of this place, has had four good
horses die for him this year. Sunday
he hired his iron-gray, bob-tailed horse
to IA glass worker and the animal died
suddenly near Falls Creek. A load of
logs had been left standing along the
roadside behind some bushes and the
horse came upon it suddenly and was
badly frightened and fell dead in the
road near where it was frightened. Mr..

death. This was one of Mr. Burns
best horses. The horse was bought in

1t formerly belonged to President

Big Soldier Won.

Saturday the weather cocks conspired
to cheat the Big Soldier and Coal Glen
boys out Of their foot ball game, but the
kickers were here and were not TO be
soaked out. The rain, however, did
deter lot of people from witnessing
the game. The crowd was not one-half
as large as it would have been had it
been fair weather.
The score at the close of the game,
which was the association game, stood
10 in favor of Big Soldier. Had the
grounds not been so wet several more
points would have been score, but it was
the opinion OF fair judges that Big Sol
dier would have won just the same
Dubois Courier.
