1t is matter of regret that there is
somebody in the land that is so evil dis
posed as to cut harness to pieces and
turn horses loose at church while tho
owners are worshipping in the house of
God. That actually occurred here Sun

at the Methodist and Presby yterian

badly mutilated. If the guilty party or

severely dealt with. A. L. Gossett.
