Story on Mrs. Ecton.

A prominent citizen gave us this
story. About twenty years ago the
Christian church had a Christmas
tree. In so far as the church was
concerned, the gifts for the children
were uniform, but the parents of the
more wealthy ones had taken ad-
vantage of the occasion to hang
special gifts for their little ones.
hen Mrs. Ecton saw this she was
Aspleased, but said nothing. She
went out and at her own expense
bought gifts for the poorer children
to make them all as nearly equal as
possible.
The funeral services will take place
at the First Presbyterian church Fri
day at 2 p m. Rev. j. H. MacNeill
and Rev. C. j. Armstrong will offici-
ate.

Defendant in Good Health.

The young patricide was brought
into court this morning as soon as
his case was called and, despite the
fact that his friends and attorneys
had claimed on a motion for bail
some time ago that his health was
in an impaired condition, he was
looking In the best of health.
He was accompanied to the court
room by his mother and some of his
intimate friends, who had been here
since the first of the week making
final preparations for the trial. The
early trains brought from Jackson
and Beattyville scores of witnesses,
for both the prosecution and defense,
a number having come earlier In the

Extraordinary Interest Shown.


Extraordinary interest is being
manifested in the coming trial on ac-

crime, a son killing his father, and

During the last twelve years the

people prefer that oil currency bc
based on the government credit
instead Of coin, and If the issue
were to make hank notes REDEEM

thousand would vote for the
change. Hence the silver ques-
ton and the gold issue have be-

APEA THREsssER

John G, johnson, Of Center, was
in town Monday to receive new
pea huller for the Farmers Associ-
alton. This machine will thresh
from 1000 to 1900 bushels Of peas
per day in ordinary peas. It also
grades the peas, saving the best
for seed and the balance for feed
ing.
Peas will be ready for the ma
chine in about three weeks.
It is claimed that an acre Of
shelled peas will fatten twice as
many lambs as when fed in the
fields as heretofore.
Should this machine prove to
be what is claimed of it, there will
bea larger demand for pea she'll
ers in another year. 1t is results
the ranchmen want. They do not
care to raise peas to waste in feed

to meet but the superintendent was
unable to keep the appointment.
About February the company
served notice on its employees that a
reduction Of wages would be put into
effect on March I. When March ar
rived the reduction was not put in
force, and there has been no intimation
given when it will be. The fact that
March I has passed without the re-
duction threatened being made. it is
thought that the proposed action has
been reconsidered by the company Of
ficials. 1t is firmly believed by some
of the union men that any reduction IN
wages would precipitate a strike.

METHODIST MEETINGS BEGIN.
Dr.. A. 3. Buckner breaches T
Force Sermons Sunday.

DR.. a. B. Buckner breaches Two
ForcefuI Sermons Sunday.
Great interest was manifest in the
opening special services at the Meth
odist church Sunday. An audience o1
about 500 was present at the morning
service, when Rev. A. B. Buckner
| who has charge of the meetings, took
as his theme the personality and in
dividuality Of Christ, and his object
in seeking to save lost world, i'm
PEELED to this great sacrifice by a
divine and overpowering love and pity
for human kind.
The speaker held up before his au-
tain and factor of all good in the
world, the force for righteousness,
who came to seek and save the lost,
and that He is still this force in the
world today, but that the work must
now be carried on by his individual
followers. It is the supreme mission
Of the church to carry on the great
work of seeking the lost. An earnest
appeal was made for faithful and low
ing service. Over 100 joined the
prayer band, agreeing to pray definite
ly each day for the success of the
meetings.
At the evening service the attend
ance was even larger, about 900 be-
ing present. A large chorus choir of
over thirty young men and about the
same number of young women added
enthusiasm to the singing. The sub
ject of the evening discourse was ex-
actly opposite in character to that Of
the morning. BE strong, be vigilant,
for the devil is as a roaring lion, seek
ing whom he may devour." The per-
sonality of the devil and his fall from
ighteousness-his motive for revenge,
his craftiness, his subtlety were
strongly portrayed. His deceitfulness,
his desire to overthrow Gods plans,
his methods changing to accommodate
changed conditions, the evidences of
his work were brought out, and how.
by indirect methods. he succeeds in
getting his work carried forward to the
destruction and decentralization of
many, and the hindering of Gods pur-
poses for the uplifting and redeeming
of the race. A strong stand was taken
as dancing, card playing, the theater.
