the shrunken. blue yelned hand of one

that soOthed our childish pains and

thin aud withered, with purple veins

Fine Program I'm the Evening Drew
Large Mum bers To Listen to

AS usual in this city the various church
es did something little out OF the ordina-
ry last Sunday, in order to properly OBJ
serve the great festival day. which to the
christian religion means so very much
the happy Easter tide.
At the Church of Christ the program
arranged for the occasion was in the
hands Of the Sunday school. and all in at
tendance were greatly pleased with the
various numbers. The program consisted
OF songs. recitations. an address by the
pastor and two very pretty tableaux, one
Waiting for the Coming of Christ" by
seven young people and the other "The
Unfailing Guide" by three young men. A
good audience was present and enjoyed
the whole program.
At the M. E. church the Sunday school
gave very delightful concert, consisting
of special Easter music. songs and recta-
tons. The Sunday school and Epworth

citation of the program a collection was
given amounting to $35 which is the arg-
est collection ever received at any Easter
service in the church, this sum going to-
wards paying the amount which they as
sumo on the pay of the teacher.
At the Congregational church a large
audience greatly enjoyed the program rem
dered by the Sunday school. A number
OF the classes furnished some excellent
songs and rectations and Rev. Secord
gave very beautiful and instructive talk
to the little ones concerning the day. In
the morning Mrs. Filkins Of Chattanooga,
sang very beautiful solo which was
greatly appreciated by those fortunate
enough to be present.
At the Baptist church Rev. n. N. Spear
preached very fine Easter sermon in the
morning. and in the evening the ladies'
missionary circle gave missionary con-
cert consisting Of songs, recitations and
dialogues. and the opening Of the mite
boxes brought by the children. A goodly
audience availed themselves Of the oppor-

She WAS ARRESTED
Mrs. Ada McFarlane OF smyrna
Caught.
Broke Into Martha Skellengers House
and stole Goods-Deputy q sherih
Mark Hoppough Got Her.
An important arrest was made Tues

An important arrest was made Tues
day at Smyrna by Deputy Sheriff Mark
Hoppough which will undoubtedly have
wholesome effect in putting quletus on
the petty thievng and begging that has
been going on in and around Smyrna and
this city for some time. Last Monday
afternoon the farm house of Mrs Martha
Skellenger was broken into and some
knives and forks and other articles taken.
Mrs. Skellenger was not living there
but on going to the house discovered that
it had been broken into, the thief having
gained entrance through window. An
old pail sat on the table which had been
left in place Of good one the thief had
taken.
Mrs. Skelenger found tracks leading
from the house which we're those of a
woman and Deputy Sheriff Mark Hop
pough was notified, who began to lnvest-
gate and soon struck the trail. A
woman called at Joe Youngs' on the farm
adjoining the same day. and with an ex-
ceedingly smooth story of poverty and
family sickness wanted some money.
meat or anything for her needs. Mrs.
Youngs gave her a dozen and half OF
eggs and an old pail to carry them to her
home which she said was in Belding.
Onleaving there she evidently went to
the SkelIenger house and broke in, as 1t
was here the old pail was left and bet
ter one taken. The description OF the
woman tailed with Mrs Ada McFarane
who lives in Smyrna ard a search war
rant was sworn out before Justice Chas.
Dumon. Deputy Sheriff Hoppough made
a search of the house and found some Of
the missing articles Mrs. McFarlane,
however was ready with story of how
she had seen some parties coming out Ct
the house and soon after she found the
articles in the road, but the officer knew
better. Prosecuting Attorney Burbank
was called to Smyrna Tuesday evening
and warrant for larceny was issued.
Wednesday morning she was brought
before the court and acknowledged the
theft. The examination was adjourned
for week and it was considered the wise
thing to do by his honor and the other Of
ficials that if the family would Immediate
ly move out OF the county the Csc
would be dropped.
The family consists Of Frank McFar-
lane, her husband and two children, three
and five years old. They lived in Belding
until year ago, and it is stated that many
OF our citizens have cause to remember
the family.
