The memory of the late Bishop Barn wei is very dear to all the members Of the Episcopal Church in Alabama. On Sunday last at St. Johns Church, this city, the rector, Rev. E. E. Cobbs preached the following sermon in tribute to his memory:
 Acts f. part verse 13: And they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."
 I am sure that through the services of this hour, it's prayers and praises, one name has been on your lips; the memory of one life close to your hearts; one now departed in the true faith of Jesus Christ, and whom, we trust, walks in the Light of the Glorified Son of God. Through the full length and breadth or this State, there swept a wave of great sadness when on Thursday last came the sudden announcement of the untimely death of the Rt. Rev. Robert w. Barn well. Bishop of Alabama.
 Never did death seem to come so un- welcomed, so unheralded, so swiftly. so terribly; never did he snatch away life more needed. more precious. more cour- teous, more truly Christian. In the midst of his years in the fulness of his pow

 General Chaffee, in carrying out the sentence of the court said:
 'gThe necessity for this trial is based on the intention to accentuate to the ac- cused that the existing order to give complete and unqualified support to all branches of the civil government in the islands must be complied with, and to show by example that nothing short Of such support will be accepted from @m- cers on duty in this division. Captain wild's conduct is but mildly punished by reprimand It is destructive to the very foundations of discipline. and. when con sidered in connection with the duty which devolved upon him, is in the highest de- gree reprehensi5le."

Fills a Pulpit for September iu Brooklyn-Montgomery is His
 Home

The Brooklyn Eagle of July 26 contains the following notice from the pen of it's editor, the Hon. St. Clair McKelway:
 For the month of September the pull pit of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn. will be supplied by the Rev. Edgar G. Murphy of Montgomery, Ala, one of the most active members of the Southern Education Board. a preacher of extraordinary fervor, eloquence and ele- vation of thought. one whose winning personality and Christian philanthropy
 as well as one whose rank as an orator of high persuasion. class him among the most fragrant and fQrcible of all the Southern clergy. Following MT. Murphy, there is reason to believe that for a series of Sundays in October the preachers will be the Right Rev. Dr. Robert Atkinson Gibson, the Bishop of Virginia. and the Right Rev. Dr. Davis Sessums. the Bishop of Louisiana. These two prelates are regarded as among the ablest ora tors and closest thinkers to be found in

Eta Jane News Notes.

ETA JANE, Oct. 27.-Last week we
had fine weather for farm work and
people took advantage of it and gath
cred corn, cotton, etc.
The young people had an enjoy able
time at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
A. Byers last Saturday night.
Rev. Sam T. Creech preached an
excellent sermon at Mesopotamia yes
terday morning from the text, "For
tie son Of man is come to seek and
to save that which was lost" Luke
9:1O. 1t was not my good fortune
to be present and hear it, but one
who is a competent judge pronounced
it one of his finest efforts-a gracious
invitation to lost sinners to come to
Christ or even to let him save them.
Mr.. Creech will not return to the
Kelton circuit for another year, but
I am inclined to think he can do as
much or more good there than any
new man. His records will show
what a geat work he has done during
the past two years, snd the class Of
people it has effected most make his
work Gin my estimation) the more to
be appreciated. His ministerial life,
so far as / have been able to observe.
(and l have watched it very Closely
complies strictly Ito the teaching of
his text yesterday. He make the
less fortunate the greater objects Of
his care-those who have the least
disposition to attend church worship
and take part therein are the
principal objects Of his care.
He does not, like some other minis
ters and church members, think that
his church is the only way to heaven.
Not long ago l met man whom a
few years ago l knew as a drunken
rowdy, a social out-cast and chronic
blasphemer, who, when asked what
had wrought such a change in his
life, said: cit was the effect of Mr..
Creech's preaching to me and warn
ing me to forsake such way of Iiy-
ing" He said further: "No man
has ever taken such an interest in
my SOULS welfare and how could I
resist giving up the sins I practiced."
Mrs. j. N. Strain is quite sick. DR..
Leach, of Hickory Grove, is her ply
sician.
The rain has caught some corn
pulled down and laying on the ground.
The farmer forgot that yesterday was
Sunday and he pulled more of it
down Saturday than he got hauled.
Last week Mr.. T. M. Littlejohn had
several wagon loads of roasting ears
pulled and hauled off his Egypt farm.
The corn was planted after the first
of July.
The roads in this county will COM
pare favorably with that Of any Sec
tion Of the State during dry weather.

just so sure will the shows, flying ien-
nies, pick pockets, agents and fakirs
come round to scoop up the money
and they always get it.
l understand Mr.. Tom Gregory, Of
Kelton, was robbed in broad daylight
in Union last week. Gregory lust
gave himself away when he went into
private place and took a drink Of
mean liquor with a stranger and then
pulled out his pocket book to change
a ten dollar bill for the stranger. 1
never have any change when strang-
ers want money changed.
l made trip over to Augusta, Ga. !,
last week.and stopped over at several
small towns along the way, beginning
at Peaks, Lexington G. H., Leesville
and Batesburg, and while these towns
are all hustling towns 1 don't think
any Of them is equal to the hustling
town Of Jonesville. Augusta is OF
course all life and business and is a
city full Of manufactures and COM
mercial life.

THE PISTOL EVIL.

What can the schools Of the State
do towards intoxicating higher sense
Of the sacredness Of human life2 The
terrible recklessness in the use Of
firearms is becoming serious men,
ace to our civilization. 1t is time
for teachers and good citizens to
raise their voices against the fearful
violation Of law, both human and Di-
vine. Human life should be regard
ed as the holiest trust that society
has in it's charge. How far is the
toy pistol responsible for the pistol
carrying mania, and the consequent
disregard Of life? The young lad is
given toy pistol, he learns to han
die it, and to snap his "paper car
fridge" But soon he tires Of the
toy, and wants to own "sure
enough gun" that will kill some
thing. Teachers and parents are IA
miliar with the process of evolution.
Let the toy pistol be banished from
the school and from the home, if you
would keep from developing in that
boy the murderous instincts Of the
savage. Teach the child the sacred
ness of human life-yes, all life.-An-
derson Intelligencer.
A good idea. We are in this thing
now up to the neck, and the object
is to remedy the evil. Let us leave
no stone unturned that will tend to
bring the result so much desired by
every true and law abiding citizen.

is we'll soaked today with the rain
that has been falling continuously
since yesterday morning.
The sad and very unexpected news
OF the sudden death of Mr.. G. WAL
ton Whitman was received here early
this morning by phone from Union.
Since Mr.. Whitman moved from
Jonesville to Union he had not visited
our town much, he seemed to be yerv
attentive to his business in Union.
MIR. Whitman had good trade when
in business here, and it was not until
ne entered politics that his business
declined, and he decided to move TO
Union. Mr.. Whitman stood firmly
to his first principles in politics and
never Tor once changed his position.
although defeated more than once he
still stood to his principles.

house OF Mr.. Hawkins Smith wos

Smith is very industrious farmer
who has managed to buy n planta-

Mr.. Smith thinks his house was GER
tainly set on fire as the fire started
on the outside OF the ell in the piazza
which really looks very much like it
was the work OF an incendary.

Judging from the reports in the
daily papers the people of the State
generally are having Gala week Of
it at the State Fair in Columbia this
week. Well, this is as it should be,
there should be at least one week in
the year in which the people Of every
part OF the State can meet together.
1t draws the citizens of the State
nearer together and makes us feel
that we all belong to one great fam
lily circle. 1t Is pleasure to meet
thus and compare notes and gain val
liable Information one from another,
and Columbia is the place, on account
OF it's central location, for such an an
nual gathering. 1t would be great
pity for the State Fair to ever sus-
pend. We hope it never will.

On account Of the cruel treatment
by step-mother in Newberry county
a child was turned over to another
family to be reared as their own.
After while the father tried to get
the child back. The parties in charge
refused, and the child did not want
to return. The father went to law
and got the child back. No sooner
was this done than q warrant was
taken out for the parents charging
them with assault and battery with
intent to kill, and they were required
to give an $500 bond. The outcome
OF this case will be watched with in
terest. 1t is astonishing that q step
mother will deliberately resort to
cruel treatment Of the children OF
her husbands former wife, but the
strangest part Of it is that in many
instances the father will back the
new wife up in her cruelty.
