The r. G. Morrice Trial.

Prosecuting Attorney Hamper made
a motion, Monday, before Judge Miner
that he be allowed an assistant in the
trial of the case of F. g. Morrice. This
was objected to by defendants attorneys
because he was not charged with a
felony. The motion was renewed be-
fore Judge Peter f. Dodds of Mt. Pleas
ant, when he appeared on the bench
Tuesday, and the court appointed G. r.
Lyon. The entire days, Tuesday and
Wednesday were taken up in trying to
secure jury. The panel being ex-
hausted large number of other persons
were examined but most of them were
quickly excused.

Judge Dodds sustained this point and
therefore the only way to prove it will
be by the testimony of some of the
supervisors or others present at the
boards sessions when the votes were
taken. The taking of testimony was
begun Yesterday, J. \. Martin being

SEVEN SUCCESSFUL YEARS.
Rev Carlos n. Hanks Began Eighth
Year as Pastor of the Conerega-
tional Church in this City
Sunday.

Rev. Carlos H. Hanks began the
eighth year of his pastorate of the Con-
gregational church in this city Sunday.
The occasion was made happy one for
both church and pastor both from the
contemplation of the work of the seven
years just passed and from the consider
alton of the outlook for the future.
In both morning and evening there
were large audiences, many of the mem
bers having remembered the anniver-
sary and having made special efforts to
be present. Large numbers remained
after the services to extend theirperson-
al congratulations and good wishes for
the future to the pastor. The church
auditorium had been prettily decorated
for the occasion with flowers and plants,
pleasant surprise for the pastor, and
an exceptionally fine musical program
had also been arranged in honor of the
day.
After brief reference to the pleasant
memories with which the seven years
just ended had been associated, Mr..
Hanks thanked the congregation for its
many and continued expressions of
goodwill and for the sympathetic coop
Grafton which it had always shown him
III the carrying forward of the work of
the church Although refraining from
giving any Of the figures showing the
splendid growth of the church during
the seven years of his pastorate, Mr..
Hanks spoke with fervor and heartfelt
enthusiasm for the work of the church
in the future, pointing out to its mem
bers greater possibilities than any they
had yet seen fulfilled. The text chosen,
most appropriate one for the occasion,
was the word spoken by the Lord to his
prophet Ezekiel: Behold, 1 will do
better things for you than at the be-
ginning" The promise of God, he be-
lieved, applied equally to the church to-
day.
During his residence in Owosso, Rev.
G. H. Hanks has made himself respected
and liked by large circle of friends
outside the church he 80 well serves.
He has taken an active interest in all
the public affairs of the city and the
occasions on which he has been called
to oficiate at weddings, public gather
ings of all sorts, funerals, and commit
tees of which he had been made mem
ber, are almost without number. Be-
sides being member of societies out
side the church, he is also the pop
ular chaplain of the Third Regiment,
M. N. G.. where he is one of the good
comrades whom the boys of the regi-
mont, and of the home company especi-
ally are always glad to welcome to their
midst
AS to the church itself which he has
served 80 we'll, the records of the clerk
show that during the seven years of Mr..
Hanks pastorate two hundred ninety
one persons have joined it either upon
profession of faith or by letter, record
of which any pastor in any city of even
greater size than Owosso might we'll be
proud. 1t is the sincere wish of many
besides the members of his congrega
tion that Mr.. Hanks and his estimable
wife, who is also an active worker In
the church and its societies, may remain
with the Owosso church for many years
yet to come.
