FIRST SERMON
GETS CORDIAL RECEPTION
The Rev. n. r. Smith Comes to First
Baptist Church From Dupont, Ind.
His Initial Effort was on "Per.
version"

The Rev. H. r. Smith delivered his
initial Richmond sermon to the con-
gregation of the First Baptist church
yesterday morning. His text was
Isaiah 500 and the talk was upon
"perversion." His sermon was in
two parts; perversion of Truth and of
Gods Gifts and Blessings. Under the
second part were the topics of The
Tongue, Money and the Lords Day.
Mr.. Smith is a man of pleasing per-
sonality and excellent address. His
oratory is of that quality which does
not fail to attract and hold the at
ton of his congregation. His former
church was the First Baptist at Du-
pont, Ind.
Mr.. Smith arrived in the city Sat
urday morning from Garden, Cal,
where he was recently married to
Miss May Brit.

SPOKE ON BIBLICAL KISS"
AN INTERESTING SERMON
The Rev. T. J. Graham of First Pres
byterian Church Tells His Audience
of Sacredness of the Kiss and How
it May be Debased.

The Rev. Thomas J. Graham, of the
First Presbyterian church preached
to his congregation last evening on
the Biblical Kiss" In this he en-
phasized that Judas had betrayed Jes-
us with a kiss. 1t was also impressed
upon his hearers that the kiss is of
the greatest sacredness and that it
may be either for edlfication Or for
debasement; that it is a token of
family love and affection or brotherly
fondness and good Fellowship. The
old custom of the ancients of using
the kiss as a mark of devotion was
rehearsed.
The sermon was one that was very
much enjoyed by the congregation
and visitors.

There are no restrictions on fishing
beyond those prohibiting the use Of
nets, seines, spears and gigs. This
of course does not include the small
seine used for minnows. The law re-
quires that this seine or net must not
exceed twelve feet in length, four feet
in width, and the meshes not to ex-
coed one-quarter of an inch in thick

ent crop would run over thirteen mil.
lion bales. The Florida Times. Union

IL sight by the first of December. The
receipts up to December l represented

receipts up to December ] represented
54.S3 pc, cent Of the most rapidly
marketed crop In twelve yeas and
4S Al per cent OF the average Of TIE
last twelve years. II the former per-
c,ntsge should represent the present.
crop the total would only be 10, 421,.

q KentucH Testimonial.

An amusing incident occurred II
the Court House Of kentucky town
recently. The lawyer FOR prisoner
who aeve- was IN trouble before
wished to prove the previous good
character of mis- client, and rendered
the Judge letter, which be satd
would show the standing and honor
able character Of the prisoner at the
bar.
The Judge took the letter, and as
he read it broad smile played over
his countenancs.
"Dtd I understand you to say" he
asked of the lawyer, that this let
ter was a certificate Of character?
''You DID, your Honor" replied
the lawyer with a happy smile.
We'll" remarked the Judge, y
don't know but what It is, but
hardly think it is the letter you
thought it was-read it."
He handed it back and the lawyer
glanced over It. It was, a letter from
a firm Of distillers, stating that they
had just shipped so many gallons OF
whisky to a member Of his family
aad they we're confident they would
fnd the liquor excellent.
