Did VIM. A. Baync, Jrc Steal
the Horse!

a case was tried in the County
Court last Friday which has excited
much comment as to whether the ne
cused was innocent or guilty Will
liam A. Bayne, Jr, on the 18th of
May left his home to come to Lex
ington. He stated that he was over
taken by man riding horse bare
back and the man asked him to ride
the horse to Lexington and when he
arrived there to put him on Il certain
side of hitching lot so hewould east
ly find him when he got there; and
that he expected to come on as soon
as Il wagon came up and go in it,
Bayne got no further than Kerr
Crack that night where he was ar
rested by Constable McKeever, and
tried by Magistrate II. II. Teaford
and sent on to the county court
This case came up Friday. The
horse was stolen beyond doubt, but
did this man who entrusted the
horse TO Bayne to bring to Lexington
or Bayne himself steal him?
The jury that sat in judgment up
on the case was James A. Wilson, j.
W. Culton, Reuben Bare, l. g Cop
per, II. II. Lunsford, A. M. Zolman,
John A. McIIenry,J. r. Mackey, Tim
othy Hogan, r. +. Johnston, J. Hen
ny Leech, and T.. w. Montgomery.
After hearing all the evidence the
jury were equally divided, six for ac-
quital and six for conviction and be
ing unable to agree were discharged.
f. II. Glasgow defended the accused,
Robert Catlett, commonwealth attor-
ney, prosecuted.

Birth DAY Services.
Communicated.
BUENA VISTA. August 10.

!
Last Sunday was an occasion of
special interest among the Methodsts
Of Buena Vista, it being celebration
of the birthday of their pastor, Rev.
G.. III. Buchanan. Large and attentive
congregations attended both services,
and special music, finely rendered by
the choir, added no little to the
interest and enjoyment of the pro-
gram.
The morning sermon, from thu text,
Il, the Lord thy God, am u jealous
God was u mastery discourse and
made u profound Impression upon
the audience. One of the older mem
bers Of the congregation pronounced
it the finest sermon ever delivered in
the Methodist pulpit of Buena Vista
Others considered the night sermon,
from the text, IF ! forget thee, O
Jerusalem, let my right hand forget
her cunning etc, even better than
that Of the morning. Expressions of
appreciation and admiration were
made by those who were privileged
to hear these sermons from their
faithful, earnest preacher.
The church and Sunday school have
both steadily improved under the
passionate of Rev. Mr.. Buchanan, and
Buena Vista Methodists consider
themselves fortunate in having such
a live, conscientious, eloquent min
lister SPECTATOR.

idle negroes the past week in the
