Banlon outoointed Decker.

PHILADELPHIA, March Eddie
Hanlon of California outpointed George
Decker of this city last night in a six
round bout at the National Athletic
club. Hanlon had an advantage in
weight over his antagonist, and the To-
cal man was kept on the defensive
from the beginning to the end of the
bout. The Californian tried hard to
put Decker out, but the latter always
managed to avoid the knockout blows
and was not once sent to the floor.
Hanlon did considerable roughing. In
one round, while the men were in q
clinch, they fell through the ropes.

In Macedonia, girls usually marry at
the ages Of 13 or IA, and a husband will
pay els to $50 for a wife if she is a

III tie latter case, the bride most likely

Death of W. &. Darlington.

The friends Of the deceased who gath
cred at the Methodist church on last
Sunday evening, were greatly shocked
when at the close uf the service, notice
Of his funeral wa read. Nothing had
been heard Of his sickness, and this
made the shock the greater. He was
a son Of Prince Edward, spent his boy
hood here and was here trained for
life's work.
For a number Of years he had made
his home in Bristol, though his duties
as business mar kept him constantly
on the road. He was taken sick at
Charlottesville, but wrote 10 the home
circle that the indlsposition was Of no
gravity, aud that he would soon be at
work again. On Friday last, alarming
symptoms developed and he died on
Sunday at / a. m, and before his wife
reached his bedside le remains
were brought to FTmY1le, accompa-
MED by Mrs. Ctr16gBn, his two
brothers, Messrs. Paul add Sandy Car
rington, Rev. Mr.. Campbell, a brother
in-law, Of Richmond, Mr.. w. G. Car
rington, Of Lynchburg, and others,
and were buried in the town cemetery
by the side Of loved ones who had gone
before.
Those who knew the deceased will
remember him as loyal friend, cheerful
companion, bright, sunny spirit who
added brightness Ia the lives Of others,
and made the world the better for hav-
ing lived I'm it. The Bristol papers
have columns Of tender tributes b his
memory, and it will be gratifying to
his friends here to know that he vas so
honored and beloved in the home Of
his adoption, and where he lived for p
years.

Rev. Mr.. Winn, Of the Methodist
church, stood in presence of splendid
audience, which crowded every nook
and corner Of the church building on
last Sunday evening when he an
nOunced a. his text, "Ihe Uuspeakable
Gift" The gifted preacher began his
noble sermon by lamenting the poverty
Of human language even tO convey at
all times human thought, and then
said il Is not to be wondered at that
the matchless logic and peerless rhet-
oric Of Paul, the mightiest preacher Of
all the ages, should have failed thin
when he undertook TO tell Of Gods best
gift to man, and had TO content him
self by simply describing it as "un-
speakable."
But that golden opportunity was not
to be allowed to go by umimproved,
so that the preacher proceeded to give
some Of the characteristics Of the gifts
which made it valuable, not so much
in the giver, but i'm the motive inspir-
ing it, the purposes to be accomplished
the manner Of the giving, the cost to
the dispenser Of it, concluding with the
comprehensive statement that the
'unspeakable gift" had all the marks
Of the most excellent Of gifts and none
Of infirmities. Nor did he stop there.
but gave out this ringing question,
What are you going TO do with it,?
You may reject it, you may despise it,
or you may simply neglect 1t.
| present it TO you rs | have been
commissioned by God to do, and must
leave it with you. The occasion was
an impressive one aud the influences
started there will be felt throughout
eternity.
