 Last Sunday, though very warm day, was notable day for the church in two respects, the attendance at the Sunday school and at the Christian Endeavor meeting. At the Sunday school an even 100 were present, prob ably the largest attendance at any regular session of the school for many years; and at the Christian Endeavor meeting all the chairs were brought down from the church, and the little room was literally filled to overflow ing. Miss Loretta Hayes read in this latter service, to the great sa tisfaction of the children, a capital story with good moral, "A Golden Rule Fourth of July"
 A committee consisting of Mrs Henry M. Smith, Miss Susie J. Scud- der, Mrs L. c. Morris and Rev Otis w. Barker has been appointed to have permanent supervision of the Sunday school library, so that the books shall not get lost beyond recovery and the whole library may be kept at good point of efficiency.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
I. B. HARRIS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

I. B. HARRIS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THROWN FROM HIS ROAD CART, FRAC-
 TURING BOTH WRISTS AND SUSTAIN
 ING BRUISES AND A GENERAL SHAKE
 UP.
 There was general regret expressed came known that that genial and es- timable citizen and horseman, I. B. Harris, had been thrown from his road cart, sustaining serious and pain full injuries. It appears he hitched up one of his promising colts early We'd neSday morning for little exercise, and at 7.3O o'clock, when between his residence and the stone bridge, the colt stepped on rolling stone, falling to the ground. It happened in a sec Ond, giving MT Harris no time tolsave himself. He was thrown violently to the ground, fracturing both wrists and receiving a bad cut on the nose. He was also more or less bruised on his head and limbs. John o. Pitzschler who happened to be going up town at ris' assistance. The horse acted like a veteran and after getting up looked about to find her master. MT PitZ- Schler secured the horse without trou- ble, and turned his attention to MT Harris, who had gotten up with diff culty. MT Harris started to pick up his whip when he made the sad dis covery that both wrists were broken. MT Pitzschler took the horse to MT Harris place and help was summoned to the aid of the injured man. In short time Dr A. L.Schuyler was at his side and his wounds were dressed and the broken bones attended to. At the best at the age of person of MT Har- ris' years, ", his recovery will be slow and he will naturally suffer more or less. MT Harris has been a central figure at the horse racing at the local fairs and the splendid victories he has achieved with "Brown Dick" has made him host of friends who will hope for his speedy recovery. MT Harris has always been an enthusias tic horseman, dating back to the time in his early manhood, when with the late Gustave Haugh he devoted some of his first earnings to the purchase of handsome stopper. His attractive residence and stables are the admira- tion of all passers-by. The accident, it should be said, was not due to care lessness in any way but was one that might happen to any person handling horses.

Newtown made IA base hits with total of 21, and HotchniSsville ! hits with a total of 9. NewtOwn made 4 errors to Hotchkissville's errors.

MINGLING OF THE RACES.

Alliances Between Different Peoples
 Are Helpful to the Whole.
 Man is an animal and Darwin has shown that not only is he closely akin to other animals, but that the laws which control the development of the lower animals also control the develop ment of man. He has also shown that cross breeds of animals are larger and stronger than either parent. When we examine into the origin of the English people we find the ancient BritOns fighting and mingling with the Romans, and subsequently with the Picts, Scots, Danes, SaXons and Normans. For more than 1000 years these various breeds of men have crossed and recrOssed un- til they have been nodded into that homogeneous mass that we know as Englishmen.
 Turning to the United States, we find the foundations of new nation laid by the SturdieSt and most enterprising of these same Englishmen. They land ed on the then distant shore, conquered the wilderness, organized a new gov ernment closely akin to the old and in- pited the people of all the world to join them. The Slavs, the Germans and the Latins mingle together and in few years become neo-Anglo-SaXOns, or what may be more properly termed An glo-Americans. The evolution going on in the United States is also going on in
