a special meeting of the New Castle
Presbytery has been called to consider
among other things the utterances of
Rev. Robert A. Elwood of Olivet Pres
byteran Church Wilmington, who re-
Gently preached a sermon on the crime
committed by George White the negro
raVisher.
In discussing the call, the Snow Hill
Nd. Messenger says: "The Presbytery
Of New Castle would better go slow in
considering the sermon of Rev. Elwood.
His congregation has passed resolu-
tions commending him, and is surely
IN better position to Judge him than
those who have passed judgment from
reading sensational newspaper reports.
We don't see anything to condemn in
the extracts we have read; he said there
should be no lynching of the negro
White unless, after he was found
guilty, through some legal technicality
the negro would escape the gallows.
The crime of the negro was the most
brutal that we ever heard of. His
mutilation of the body of his victim
before death was of such a character
that we cannot print description of it
in the Messenger, but it was enough
to arouse the people TO the very deed
they have committed, that characters
like White might be warned that Della
ware people did not intend to tolerate
negro ravishers. The sermon preach
ed by Rev. ElwOOd may have been

o'clock, 1908.
She joinel the Methodist
church In Illinois, in 1873, in
which she lived and from which
she went to Heaven. She has
been a resident of Monroe City
for twenty years and more, and
all who knew her loved her for
her purity of character and
honesty OF purpose.
She loved her church and
never missed a service if she
could at all get 10 the church,
and often she was at the church
when others would have been
in the bed, She often said to
her pastor that "but for the
House of the Lord and the com.
muniOn of sai&ts she would
give up in despair. God is my
help and my strength in weak.

If all Christians, or professed
Christians, we re as faithful and
as true co the right as Sister
Black was, We should not feel
embarrassed before the cOngre-
cation when we are called upon
to preach funerals. Her
funeral was preached in the
Methodist church at 2 o'clock,
Sept. 18, and then her remains
were laid by the side of her
husband in the Monroe City
cemetery to wait the resurrec
tion morning. A good woman
Us gone; we shall miss her in
her place in the church, and
her dear children will miss her

She was sixty-tive years, six
months and one day old when
she left her home and friends
for Heaven. May kind heaven
bless the dear children and
bring them all to meet again

ITEMS FROM FARMERS
OF Farmers, For Farmers And Pertaining
To Farmers.

Thousands of tons OF grass
goes to waste annually along
the road side. This is not only
waste but is unsightly. We
note in an exchange where a
COOL farmer has made movable
hurd les with which he fences in
several he'd of sheep to eat the
grass, thus reaping the road
side clean and making much
mutton very cheap. The fence
forms one side and the hurdles
can be moved forward every
day. This is worth a trial.

Friday evening, in one of the rooms
in Administration Hall, several of the
men Of the college met for the purpose
of forming q glee club. Il is several
years since such an organization has
existed in the college. and 1t was
thought that uniting men from the
successful quartets of last year it
would be possible to form an organiza.
ton which would be strong, and, at
the same time, representative Of the
college vocal spirit. Accordingly an
organization known as the Oregon
Agricultural College Glee Club was
formed, under the dictatorship of Otto
n l.. Hearse. Work Is to begin in a
few days. and Mr.. Hearse expresses
the hope that one or two pleasing en-.
tertainments may be offered during
the season.-Corvallis Gazette.

A divorce suit was yesterday after.
noon filed in the circuit court by Julia
M. Parsons, against 10. c. Parsons.
charging him with numerous offenses
among others with cohabitating with
lewd women, neglect to provide for his
family, and stealing goods from the
state of Oregon. The plaintiff alleges
that she was married to defendant in
Independence. January IL, 1901, and
since that time they have lived in this
city, the defendant having a position
at the insane asylum. She further al
leges that he has at different times
stolen blankets and other property
from the asylum, and brought them to
the house and, when demonstrated
with, threatened TO kill his wife II
she ever told Of his peculations. The
value OF the goods stolen by him. she
alleges, is s35. There is one child. a
girl IA months old, and the piaintin
asks for the annulment OF the mar.

asylum, finding the laundry marks had
been destroyed, for the purpose OF
preventing Identification. The proper.
ty was at once taken in charge and
Parsons was confronted with the
proofs OF the crime. but he stoutly de.
MED the truth of the accusation. He
was at once suspended, pending an in.
vestigation by the asylum authorities.
Mr.. Parsons, as stated above, denies
the stealing Of the supplies, asserting
that some party or parties, who arc
anxious to injure him. have stolen the
goods and placed them in his home. In
order to throw suspicion on him. and
to thus injure him. Superintendent
Calbreath stated this morrlrg that he
had suspended Parsons, and was
making an investigation OF the case.
