SECOND DEGREE MURDER
Was Verdict in Will Morrison
Case.

The jury in the case of Will Nor
rison, of Elmo, this county, on trial
at Nashville for the killing of
Douglas Coffman, returned a YER
dict of guilty of murder in the
second degree and fixed his punish
ment at twenty years in the peni-
tertiary.
This was the third trial of the
case. At Springfield, when the
killing occurred, Morrison was
convicted of murder IN the first de-
gree and sentenced to be hanged.
This was reversed by the State
Supreme Court.
He obtained a change of venue
and at the second trial in Nashville
the jury failed to agree, a majority
of them holding out for first degree
murder.
Mr.. ]. B. Allensworth, of this
city. was one of the attorneys for
the defense and made a speech,
which was highly complimented.
Motion for new trial will be
heard Jan. "a.

Divorce Suits.
Docket Beginning to Fill Up For
Spring Term of Circuit
Court.

During the past few days three
divorce suits have been filed with
the circuit clerk for trial at the
spring term of court.
The first is WI. Brasher against

IS, just two weeks after the mar
riage, defendant abandoned her
home without any fault upon his
part and returned to her fathers
home, where she has resided con-
tinuously ever since, and that she
has refused to live with him.
Annie Leverett VS.. William Lev
erett is the style of another suit.
They were married in 1895 and
lived together until 1901, says the
petition. Abandonment is charged.
Emma Gee sues for divorce from
Lewis Gee. They were married in
1890, according to the petition, and
lived together until February, 1901.
Abandonment is the allegation in
this case also. The defendant is a
nonresident, and has been living
in Howell, Ind, for some time.
Plaintiff lives near Newstead.
The parties to the last two suits

Tenn, who for fifteen years has
been Supervisor of track of the
Henderson Division of the Louis

copied a position with the Ten
nessee Central as Road Master and
will take charge of his new job

decided where he will establish
his headquarters on the new road
but it is more than likely that
Lebanon will be the place selected.
Mr.. Davis new position is much
better one than the one he now
holds and a nice increase in salary
will accompany it.

MAY MOVE.
DR.. Williams Will Probably Dis
pose of Property Here.

It is not unlikely that DR.. M. w.
Williams will dispose of his prop
erty near the city and move to Cen
trail Kentucky. The new railroad
passes through his farm, cutting it
about half in two, thus rendering it
less suitable for stock raising.
Williams g. Radford are breeders
of blooded stock and have made a
big success of the venture. They
are just now in a position to in
crease their business extensively
and It is to be hoped that they car
arrange to continue here.

DOINGS At BROWN.
Mr.. Stratton Makes an Interesting Address
to Students-kotes From the University.

Mr.. c. A. Stratton. general secretary
OF the Pawtucket Young Mems associa-
ton. spoke very interestingly last night
In the Life work series" being present
ed at the college every Tuesday night.
Mr.. Stratton, OF course took the subjest
OF his own occupation. considering what
the general secretaryshlp Of Y. NJ. C. A.
demands from a man. and what II offers
20 him. He said In part:
1T Is without doubt that the duty OF
every man Is 10 consider carefully how
he can best use his life. We hear on
every side OF the way the professions OF
law. medicine and teaching are over
crowded. A promising vacant church. too.
has hall dozen candidates for the pas
torate. But there are countless positions
"a general secretary that are begging for
n man 10 fill them. In this country there
are over 300 commercial colleges, LIB theo-
logical schools. one doctor to every go
people, yet right IN Rhode Island there
Is a good field waiting for a general sec
retary. In no life work are there few
men and better openings.
Now that have shown the needs for
general secretaries. let us con-
slider the opportunities OF
man In that position. IL is a mat
ter OF statistics that young men are very
scarce in church. and that az the age OF
is two-thirds OF the boys desert the Sun
day school. Intemperance. gambling and
impurity are the three evils which are
sapping the vitality OF the young men
OF the United states.
''Out In Pawtucket during one hour and
20 minutes lAl young men went into 13
OF Pawtucket's saloons. The next Sun
day in IL churches I'm the same city 45s
young men attended. Now these young
men who do not 60 TO church need the
help OF the Y. VI. G. A.
Then the general secretary has grest
opportunity In the city where he lives,
4 minister there may be one OF 20 pas
tors but the secretary stands promi-
nently before the community In all oc-
currences The right secretary can be
great power I'm his city.
The secretary also meets the young
men OF the community. lie attracts
them more than the preacher because
he does not seem so aloof. They con-
slider him as nearer the common people.
and thus give him n great chance TO help
them.
I'm a position like this. that requires
