Moonsbiners Attack Preacher.

Rev. f. V. Goad, Of Forum, Frank
lin county, was captured by moonshiners
at Mill Creek, Sunday night, forced at
the point Of pistols to repeat his alter
noon sermon denouncing the evils OF
moonshining, and was then chased out
of the settlement by his assailants. Sew
eral other ministers in recent years have
had similar experiences.
Mr.. Goad had been warned that if he
delivered the sermon Sunday he would
be driven out of the district. Undismay-
cd by the threat, which carried a promise
of personal violence, beflled his appoint
ment and preached an extemporsneous
sermon, which vividly pictured the evils
of the illegal liquor traffic OF the Vir-
ginia mountains.
At the conclusion of the service scores
of women and children crowded around
him eager to shake his hand and beg
bis prayers for the salvation of their
fathers and brothers from the curse OF
whisky.
After the service he acceoted the invi-
tation of Mrs. Mary Maxey, one of his
devout followers, to visit her home
While the family and their guests were
kneeling in prayer at the house the door,
we're burst open. and three mountain
moonshiners entered. They asked him
what kind of sermon he had preached
that day. He replied that it was like all
other sermons. At this three pistols were
leveled at his head with the demand that
he repeat it or die. Rev. Mr.. Goad
pleaded that his life be spared. With
the pistols still pointed at him he was
made to repeat his sermon. He then
rushed up the stairs hoping to escape
from his prosecutors. Mrs. Maxey and
her daughter fairted. The minister jump
ed from a window and escaped through
the mountains.
Mr. Goad, who is frail man, had
been repeatedly Informed that sufficient
force would support him in his light
against moonshiners, but when the try
ing moment came they were not there,
and he followed in the wake Of his prede-
| cessOrs.

A Warming TO Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather OF
the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles As a rule it is only
necessary to give the child dose OF cas-
tor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. dc not use any substitute, but
give the oldfashioned castor oil, and see
that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and
has tendency to grippe. If this does
not check the bowels give Chamberlain 5
Collie. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and then a dose OF castor oil, and the
disease may be checked in IFS inciPiency
and all danger avoided. The castor oil
and this remedy should be procured at
once and kept ready for instant use as
soon as the first indication OF any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be relied
upon with implicit confidence even IN
in case OF cholera infantum. For sale

ALFALFA and

Stops Forty Minutes and
Farmers Hear Talk.

Making Another Stop
at Crofton.
TESTS IN THE COUNTY.

The Alfalfa train arrived yesterday
morning few minutes late and made
a stop of forty minutes.
About 300 farmers and others in
terested in farming were at the
train. Two cars were soon filed
with those who came to hear and a
fourth lecturer addressed the over
flow crowd at the rear end of the
train.
In one car Alfalfa was discussed
and in the other corn was the sub
ject.
Iterest of course conferred in Alfal-
ia and much information was inn
parted.
This plant is the most prolific of
any species of grass grown in this
country for forage. That ithas been
known to produce as high as twelve
tons per acre in one season can hard
ly he understood by farmer who
has never seen it growing. To him
it seem incredible. Even on the thin
rocky soil of New England one field
of eight acres averaged four tons an
acre one year at the first cutting.
The crop was cut four times that
one season from that field.

voured by live stock of all kinds.

ensilage is remarkable, but not more
remarkable than its strength and
flesh-giving proclivities.
That the stories told of alfalfa in
the West were first received coldly
in the central West and Eastern
States will be remembered. It is
then literally true that the plant has
successfully fought its way to the
very shores of Maine, has done SO
strictly on its own merits, in spite of
and opposition, and in spite
also of the somewhat unusual difficult
