readers the following text and
out line of a sermon that tried

you are not benefited any by my
sermon notes, | am confident that
if you will study the Text and
abide by its teachings you will
derive much benifit: Follow
Peace with all men and holiness
without which no man shall see
the Lord. - Heb. u: IA.
/. What the duty of following
peace commands and requires.
The cultivation of peaceable
disposition. A peaceable state
of mind. A cordial desire to
promote peace. We should study
for peace. We should speak for
peace. We should labor for
peace. We should pray and sac
rifice for peace. Be deeply i'm
pressed with its Importance.
Christ sets US an example of
peace. The spirit honors the
peace makers.
II. The duty specified. with all
men. Menin the domestic circle.
Men in all vocations of life.
Peace with friends. Peace with
enemies. Peace with ourselves.
Peace with God.
III. A man solemn and fear
full warning, without peace no
man can see the Lord. Cannot
see him in this life. Cannot see
him, so willing to save. Cannot
see him in suffering untold agony.
Cannot see him in completing the
great work in mans redemption.
Cannot see him in the hours of
death. Cannot see him on the
throne of his glory.
Let US first seek with all of
our heart the peace of God. and
persue peace with all men. then
we will be right with God, and
if right with God we will with.
out a boubt. be right with man
and in the end we will pass
through the pearly gates, and
receive a bright shining crown
of peace and satisfaction. and we
will ever look into the Lord and
give him all the praise.

HARRIS NOT GUILTY.
Verdict Of the Jury Returned Within
Thirty Minutes. Argument of the
. LAWYERS.

last Thursday afternoon, the at
torneys for the State and the
prisoner, J. B. Harris, were pre-
senting their case to the jury.
This was completed and the
Judge delivered his charge and
the jury were given the case
Thursday afternoon about $50
O'Clock, and they returned a ver-
dict of not guilty about 7 o'clock
When the verdict of the jury
was announced there were cheers
in the court room, showing that
those that had been in the court
room and heard what was to be
made known about the affair be-
lieved as the jury. Loved ones
and friends of the prisoner
crowded around him to congratu-
late him. Following is a sum-
mary of the argument of the
lawyers and the charge of the
judge.
THE ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL.
The case was closed at 11:45-
O'Clock and in a few minutes Mr..
R. B. Boone, who appeared with
the representatives for the state,
was the first to address the jury.
He concluded his argument in
time for recess. In his argu-
ment Mr.. Boone devoted much
of his time to the law in the case,
calling the attention of the court
to decisions on the self defense
killing, and Zen reviewing the
evidence as given in the trial.
He was severe on Harris, espe-
cially in regard to the note busi-
ness. His speech was an able
one and called strongly for the
conviction of the defendant of
murder in the second degree.
After the noon recess the first
one to argue to the jury was
Judge R. W. Winaton, for the
defendant. His was a very able
effort. He called the attention
of fthe court to three cases, two
in this state and one in Georgia,
wherein the question of self
defence was gone into very fully
and he contended that these
cases were along the same line
as the case on trial. After this
he argued to the jury the evil
dcnce in the case, telling of the
manner in which Harris had been
treated by Goss. referring to the
limitations about the note and
SAYING that the other side was
unfair in arguing more about the
note than ever came out in the
court.
He was followed by Mr.. J. A.
Giles, for the prosecution. Mr.. !.
Giles made strong argument .
and said that he could not see
how jurors could do their duty
and not convict the defendant of .
second degree murder. He said
that there were elements in the
case that looked like murder in
the first degree. but that the state
only asked for second dregree.
He referred to the same opinions
as were referred to by Mr.. Boone
and took up the opinions men,
toned by Judge Winston and
showed that in each of these
cases the deceased was doing
some unlawful act that brought
about the killing.
Mr.. V. S. Bryant closed for the
defendant, making one of the
best arguments heard in the court
room here in a long time. Mr..
Bryant argued the law in the case
and read extracts from several
opinions by the court. He pic
tured the scene of Goss hound.

GRAIN AND PROVISION MARKET
CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Wheat scored an
advance of over a cent a bushel. The
December sold at 101, closing strong at
about the highest price Of the day; May
touched 1878, closing at 1071&. The
foreign situation is becoming more
alarming. Liverpool cables were strong
and higher; Berlin showed an additional
advance equivalent to about a cent a
bushel and London was fully a penny
higher. Drouth in India and disap-
pointing crop returns from Australia
were additional bull factors which
gave impetus to the advance The
market was bid up very easily as there
is quite an extended short interest out
standing. Receipts in the northwest
We're considerably larger than a wear
ago. The chief bull influence. however.
was the excellent cash demand. New
York reported the acceptance Of twenty
loads OF wheat for export. MINNEAPOLIS
also sold large block of durum wheat
and houses with southwestern connec-
lions reported liberal sales TO export
ers. This cash demand must ultimately
result in a higher range OF prices for
the speculative market

tsion but later rallied to about the open
ing figures. The Cincinnati Price Cur

The condition of the security list at
this time reflects an almost entire abb
sence of speculative effort particularly
on the part of the public. There is
certainly no evidence of support from
larger financial or banking interests
and the market has been allowed to
drift without leadership into a position
where almost complete liquidation of
active speculative accounts has taken
place Within the next sixty days we
shall pass through period of the
greatest demand for incident TO the
season, and we shall also have before
US the meeting of Congress and the
further effects Of growing conservatism
n business circles. We do expect a
marked increase in the value OF money
or supplies of funds being less than re-
CURED for operations in the security
market. We anticipate in the near
future a period of steadiness in stock
market values.

TWO-CENT FOREIGN POSTAGE
That Is One Ambition of Postmaster
Meyer and He Thinks 1t
VIII Come.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Two-cent let
ter postage to foreign countries, ac-
cordlng to the belief and desire Of Post
master General Meyer, is one OF the
possibilities of the not distant future.
Negotiations to this end have been IN
progress for some time between the
United States and British postal au-
thoritles, and while the treaty-making
stage has not yet been reached the
desire Of both countries in the matter
has been found to be identical.
This leads to the prediction by the
postal authorities that the new rate
will first be made operative between
the United States and Great Britain
and thereafter between this country
and other foreign nations.
