part of Morgan's command.
Mrs. Cravens has lived to witness
four generations, representing six of
her own children, eighteen grandchild-
rem and nine great grandchildren. In
spite of her years Mrs. Cravens still dis
plays wonderful vigor of mind and body
and, unlike many persons of advanced
age, she keeps abreast of the times by
being well informed upon all current
events

H. Rhorer, the well-known lawyer of

Attention, Christians.
T. l.. Hulse

Foreign Missionary work is cause
that should not be neglected, and it goes
on, as it should, year in and year out.
But there comes time when the poor at
home should not be neglected. 1t is
Christmas time when every body who is
comfortably situated is giving and re-
ceiving little gifts of remembrance.
There are perhaps some poor people
with families of children in and about
Columbia, the parents not able to make
the little ones happy on the night of
the visitation of Santa Claus. Would it
not be good idea for each Church in
this community to look at the situation
and do something for those who are in
an unfortunate condition? 1t would
certainly be a Christian act. The poor
we have with US and they should be
made to rejoice on the day we celebrate
as the birthday of our Savior.

VERNON COFfEY,
JaiIer of Green County, Shot and
Killed Saturday Afternoon
by II. A. Bagby.
THE SLANYER NOW IN CUSTODY.

The quiet town of Greensburg was
thrown into a state of great excitement
last Saturday afternoon when H. A..
Bagby. a farmer, shot and killed Yer
non Coffey, the jailer of Green county.
From information gathered at this
office the killing was without provoca-
ton.
The particulars, as told to US, about
as follows: Bagby was drinking and he
first created a disturbance at the de-
pot. The depot agent swore out a
warrant for his arrest and twas placed
in the hands of Jailer Coffey, who went
to make the arrest. Bagby resisted,
drew his pistol and shot the officer in
the forehead, killing him instantly
Bagby then escaped from town, follow
ed by posse of men who caught him
two miles from the scene of the killing.
Excitement was so high, many threats
being made, it was deemed best not
to lodge him in Jail at Greenburg, and he
was carried to Alonzo Towards where
he is being guarded.
The deceased officer was son of Mr.
John Coffey, who in his life time fire.
quently visited Columbia, and who was
professional auctioneer. He was also
first cousin of Mrs. w. L. Walker, l..
L. and Wade Eubank.
He was a splendid young man and
was making Green county an excellent
official. His untimely death is univer-
sally regretted.

Progress Of Mefhodism.
Editor News:

Editor News:
1t may be of interest to some of your
readers who are interested in the sue
cess of the Methodist Church in these
mountain counties, to give few items
by which they may judge of the pro-
gress of our work
The year that closed with our recent
Annual Conference was the most sue
cessful one that we have had in our
history. More than eleven hundred
were converted under the ministry of
preachers, and nine hundred and twenty
were added o the membe rship of the
church. This will be better appreciated
when we say that the Columbia District
furnished more than one third of the
net gain in membership for the whole
Conference
There was very gratifying gain in
financial reports from the various cir
cults. The minutes show that from all
sources we rsised for missions last year
$2360, which is very much better than
any former showing. This, with very
gratifying increase in the contributions
for support of ministry, indicate mere
healthy condition in all departments of
church life.
The new year opens auspiciously A
marked increase in assessments for
ministerial support, is gratifying to al
lovers of the church, and prophisies
better things for the near future.
Great revivals are rewarding the
labors of our preachers, and they are
helpful and courageous Bro. Tally has
held two gracious meetings already, re.
sulting in many conversions and in
raising more than $3.50 for missions
The outlook for the work of our local
church in Columbia was never more
hopeful. The work of our former pas
tor, Bro. Kasey, has prepared we'll the
way for his successor. and Bro. Currie
has taken hold of his work vigorously
and is already reaping results. His
splendid sermons are drawing large
crowds, and all recognize him as the
man for the situation.
He has added 33 names to the Church
Register, and has organized promising
class at Pleasant Grove, consisting of
Is members. This was made possible
by the faithful work of Rev. J. w.
Nelson, of the l.. w. T. S., who has
been preaching at that point for some
months.
The Epworth League has been re-
organized, the Woman's work is taking
on new life and 1921, so has been raised
during the first two months of the new
year.
We loved Bro. Kasey and his family.
We shall never love them less, but we
also love Bro. Currie and his family and
and mean to stand by them in their
noble work. am handing you list of
our second round of quarterly meetings.
If you will give space to this and these
few notes, you will bring me under
lasting obligations to you for your
kindness. Cordially,
T. L. HulSe.

Edwin RhOrer Married.

Mr.. Edwin Rhorer, who was born
and partly reared in Columbia, was
married in Middlesboro Wednesday of
last week. The Middlesboro Record
gives the following account of the
event:
Mr.. E. A Rhorer was quietly mar
ried Wednesday evening at $50 to Miss
Ethel Hatfield at the Episcopal Church,
Rev R. E. Abrams officiating.
The bride was given away at the altar
by her uncle, Mr.. R. Hoyland, and Ed
ward Sampson acted as best man to
the groom. Following the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Rhorer repaired to the
residence of Judge M. H. Rhorer on
Arthur Heights, the father of the
groom where, they will reside temper
arily.
The bride is the sister of Mrs. D. c..
Giles and niece of Mrs. R. Hoyland.
She has been resident of Middlesboro
for the past five years, having come
here from Defiance, Ohio, the home of
her birth. Until recently she was en-
ployed as operator at the Exchange of
the Home Telephone Co., where she
has been every since the beginning of
their business here two years ago.
With this company she was considered
one of the most competent operators
ever employed with them and by her
genial and accommodating manner, she
made a host of friends among the pa
irons of that concern. In addition to
these qualifications, the bride has a
winning personality and is popular with
all who know her.
The groom is the son of Judge and
Mrs. Nj. H. Rhorer, of this city, and is
one of Middlesboro's most successful
young business men. He has been the
local representative of the Standard
Oil Co., in this city for the past fifteen
years, which fact alone, attests to the
high regard in which he is held by this
company.
The News Record join in with a host
of friends in extending congratulations
to the happy pair.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rhorer will shortly go
to housekeeping at Mr.. Rhorer's home,
near the Middlesburg Hotel.

Mr. Tim Cravens and Robert Follis
made narrow escapes last Saturday.
They had gone down to the Midtown
country, Mr.. Cravens being in the in
surance business. On their return in
crossing Russelrs creek at the slick
rock ford, the ponies they were driving
became scared and started at rapid
gait. Robert jumped from the buggy,
but Mr.. CraYens held on the lines until
some distance was covered, when he
was compelled to leave the vehicle.
The ponies kicked fearfully, tearing
the buggy to pieces. The occupants
were not hurt. After shaking them
selves they left the ponies, walked a
couple of miles, hired alule and rode
double to Columbia, both being glad
they got home alive.
