a Jury Trial.

A jury trial was held in the Office of
Justice A. A. Niles Saturday, the suit
growing out of difficulty between
Real Estate Agent O. d. Choate of
MorIisville and Il. NJ. Jackson of No.
Hyde Park. 1t seems that some time
ago Mr.. Jackson put his farm into
the hands of Mr.. Choate to sell and
according to the terms of the agency
Mr.. Choate was to receive 500 in
case the property was sold at GER
tain figure.
Meantime Mr.. jackson found GUS
toner and disposed of the iarm and
refused to pay Choate, claiming that
the original contract stated that Mr..
Choate should sell the property be-
fore receiving his commission, and
here is the point where hinged a
chance for law suit. A clause was
written in between the lines whereby
Mr.. Choate was to receive the COM
mission in the event of the sale of the
farm. A. I'll. Grimes appeared for Mr..
Choate. T. G. Cheney defended Jack
son and also testified to the fact that
be saw the contract previous to Mr..
Choate's engaging Mr.. Grimes, and
that at that time the above clause
was not in evidence. The jury was
composed of the following gentlemen
Glenn A Wilkins, E. G. Wilson, F. A.
Kenteld, E. W. Webster, G. A. Spiller,
and F. M. Ober. After due delibera-
ton the jury brought in a Judgment
for the d5fendent to recover costs.
Choate appealed to County Court.

Thanksgiving Service.

Last Sunday evening the Thanks
giving service at the Universalist
church was largely attended. Rev.
ture reading and prayer was offered
by Rev. M. s. e Idy OF the M. E.
church. A duet was nicely rendered
by the Misses Brenda Harris and
Alice Gile. Rev. G. C. st. Clare of the
Cong'l church preached the sermon,
taking his text from Psalms 26:S,
Lord | have loved the habitation of
Thy house and the place where Thine
honor dwelleth." 1t was strong
sermon, in which the speaker made
an eloquent appeal for more of SINGER
ity and less of narrowness in the
christian life. The speaker enumer-
ated few of the blessings of the year
that ought to call forth a spirit of
thanksgiving. Blessing to the ma
ton: An Unprecedented business
prosperity, the comparative har-
mOny existing between labor and
capital, the amicable adjustment of
the Alaskan boundry dispute, the as
surance of an inter oceanic canal
Blessings to the state, county and
townships: The absence of any epi-
demic or pestilence to devastate our
populace, the fruitful harvests. 1t
was then pointed out that of the "a
deaths of the year, three had no ages,
six were At or younger, while 15, or
the great majority, were of an aver
age age of rs. Thus showing the de-
pleting of our population for this
township to be from the ranks OF
those who had long been waiting the
summons, while our youth, the hope
of our future, has been untouched.
The speaker then held up another
blessing, one, which had contributed
in no small degree to the success and
happiness of our land in the past as
well as present, viz the church. He
took for his theme BROAD Church
manship," showing that the growth
of the church during the last fifty
ysars has been one of breadth, to-
gether with length and depth. He
insisted that the Christian OF the fu-
ture must be a broad churchman;
that this point of view would not
make him less faithful to his own par
ticular denomination, but alert to
see the good that existed in all man
kind; that he would feel himself a
member of the church of Christ, of
which church all, not only those who
are good but those who wish to be
good, are members.
The REQUESTS for broad churchman-
ship were then given and among those
mentioned were the enlarged vision of
the churchman which would qualify
him to see the good and worthy in
all human nature; broad and COM
prehensive view Of Gods word, not
searching for an historical sequence
of the creative accounts of Genesis,
but rather for the deep undercurrent
of divine truth that flows through
the sacred volumes, last that the
broad churchman must be a man
with spiritual perspective, above all
a man of prayer, not necessarily YER
bal prayer but a man whose thoughts
were a prayer, whose deeds were a
prayer, in fact whose life in its sum
total was prayer.
