SHE KNOCKED OUT AN ARMED
RORRER

Mrs. Henry Betz, who operates a
bakery in Cumberland, drove off a
highwayman who attempted to hold
her up early one morning as she was
coming along a lonely road from her
home in Sulphur Spring Hollow to her
place of business in this city
The man thrust a revolver in her
face and commanded her to give up
her money or die. She made believe
she was reaching in the folds of her
dress for her money, and as the man
turned his head one side she dealt him
powerful blow under the ear with
her fist. The man sank to his knees
and she kept raining blows on his
head. He eventually regained his feet
and rushed away upon the approach of
a man.
Mrs. Betz is muscular woman. not
ed for her fearlessness. Her hand is
swollen to twice it's normal size as the
result of the humping she gave the
highwayman.-Was Post.

Appropriate and Pretty Exercises I'm the
Paw Paw Churches.

Christmas was celebrated at all the
churches Tuesday evening, excepting st.
Marks.
At the Free Baptist church an ever
green bell, suspended from two ladders,
chanted Christmas chimes. After the
conclusion of the exercises, two little
boys carried presents down the ladders
for Santa Claus. The center of the
church was prettily decorated with
bunting, etc.
thick evergreen forest was displayed
at the First Baptist church. In the
center shone large electrical cross.
There were good exercises, with Santa
Claus and lot of presents.
The Methodists had a Christmas tree,
with appropriate exercises, after which
Santa Claus put in his appearance,
Christmas exercises had also been held
in the church Sunday evening.
1.-The Mystic Garden" at the Christian
church was a pretty decoration, a garden
wall constructed of boxes of CONNECTIONS
and nuts for the children, with grove
of small evergreens on either side. The
exercises by the children were interest
ing, concluding with pretty cantata,
The Enchanted Garden" as setting
for which the decorations were designed.
The usual distribution of gifts followed
the exercises. An unexpected visit of
Santa Claus from neighboring church
was laughable diversion not on the
program.
A cantata christmas among the
Pixies" was presented by the Presbyter-
ian young people. This was followed by
the usual distribution of presents.
Midnight mass, conducted by FIR. Clar-
son, was celebrated atSt. Mary's Catholic

sension Of so serious a nature as to

And yet. so deadly is the factional

and made melancholy failure of the
whole thing. Cullom is hated by

which keeps men awake of nights
