lus Of our hand grip and it's con
tents, which we left iii our buggy
near Magee's hotel. The grip
contained our Bible, an extra
shirt, collar and handkerchief.
We priced the Bible very highly, !,
Jas it was a presentto us from the
good sisters Of the Bogue ChittO
Baptist church at our last appoint-
ment with that church as pastor
lseyeral years ago. We are quite
sure when the thief tries on the

mistake in the number. On a
former occasion we were relieved
| of buggy whip and lap robe in
BrookhaVen and hereafter on
driving into chat thriving city we.
will turn over our horse and bug
Icy with all Of their appurtenances

We believe that it would be a.
good thing for Christian people to
lay Bibles around where, thieves
can conveniently steal them.
When thieves begin to steal and
read the Bible, we may reasonably
expect a revival.
The crop prospects in this sec
ton are rather gloomy.
Uncle Sam wouldn't allow the
Russians to repair their vessels,
which went limping into Manila
Bay after they had learned of
Fogo's whereabouts, because they
were not injured in a storm. We
believe it can be established by
good Russian authority that it
was a storm.
Mems love for wet goods, and
women's love for dry goods is
what causes trouble in the camp

All the teachers in this part of
the county are attending the Nor

The young man who persists in

mony in the home.
Miss Callie Stuart, few miles
east Of here, is dangerously i'll
with what is feared to be hydro
lphobia.

July, continuing until the 18th.
Prof. j. II. Hall, of Dayton, Va,
will have charge Of the work.
Mr.. Hall has a national reputation
as teacher Of vocal music, and
we sincerely hope that the people
from all parts of the county will
avail themselves of this rare op-
| portunity.

The sudden death Of Mrs. So
phronia Dunn nee Mason, Of Fort
Worth, Texas, brought deep sor-
row to the hearts Of our friends,
w. G. Mason and family, Of

her consecrated life, we believe.
that God will accomplish more by
her death than By her life. Nav
| the Lord grant that the heart
broken husband, the father and
| THE mother, the brothers and the
sisters, may by faith, lay their
hands Ia Gods hand and say,
Masterl While Che stroke isa
heavy one, yet we believe that
| Thou hast done what was best for
us. Help ns all SO to live that
we may meet our loved one when
Thou dost come to make up Thy
jewels. j. A s.
