Runs OH with never a look behind her
And hides where never a soul can find her,

ONE MAN CUT
 ANOTHER BUNGED UP
Trouble Between Two Farm Neighbors = Grew Out of Really Nothing Only a
 Cow or Two.

Last Thursday evening about seven o'clock A. c. Stewart and Ivan Hawkins, two .neighbors that live two or three miles east of town got into a fight and Stew art was pretty badly bunged up about the face and Hawkins emerged from the mix up with two or three gashes about his neck and face,
 From the best we could find out, the trouble came up about some cattle that belonged to MT. Stewart which MT. Hawkins had shut up in the lot and when Stewart told him not to do so again it seemed to enrage Hawkins. On the evening of the difficulty, Stewart and sever al others were passing MT. Hawkins ,and as Hawkins had threatened to fasten the cattle up again, Stewart got out of his buggy and looked through the cattle in Hawkins lot. Finding none of his in there was going back to his buggy in which his wife was sitting, when he was accosted by Hawkins and the previous quarrel was renewed. All the while Stewart was get ting in his buggy, when he was attacked by Hawkins with a rock that he had in his hand. While he was pounding Stewart with the rock, Stewart got his knife and cut him several times, when Hawkins fell back so as to enable Stewart to get out of the buggy he threw Hawkins to the ground and held him there until other parties came up and sepa- rated them.
 A warrant was sworn out for Stewart and his trial will come up before His Honor, Esq. F. M. Smith next Monday.
 These are two good men and we hope the affair will be settled amicably.

TWO FIRES
 IN PRESCOTT
The Dwelling Houses of c. B. Moon and Mr. Terrell Were Destroyed by Fire
 Partially Insured.

On last Friday morning about 3o'clock the residence of c. B. Moon was totally destroyed by fire together with the entire contents. The alarm was given but before help could arrive the flames had completely enveloped the building. The building ad- joining the Moon property would have been destroyed also, had not the fire company arrived when 1t did. It seemed for while that 1t would go on account of the low pressure of water. Mir. Moon was in Hot Springs at the time of the fire and his family was in Philadelphia There had been no fire in the house for two days and the only conclusion that can be drawn as to the origin of the fire is that 1t was ineindiary.
 Tuesday morning about 5 o. clock MT. Terrell who lives in the John Duke house in the eastern part of town built a fire in the cooking stove and went back into the sleeping room and lay down again, and was, in a few minutes awakened by a roaring noise which proved to be the house on fire. He ran into the kitchen and when he opened the door the flames rushed into the sleeping room. MT. Terrell gave the alarm and by heroic work on the part of the few that gathered, got out some of the household goods and saved the barn. MT. Terrell had on his building $7O0 insurance and $500 on the household goods. His loss will be about $1, 800.
 Mir. Moon had $1,000 Insur- ance with d loss of near $2, 900,

Extract from lecture in Boston
by w. d. McCracken.)
IF God is Spirit, then the real
man OF His creation, who is made In
His image and likeness, and here
fore. partakes of His nature, must
be spiritual, /. G., must express and
manifest Spirit. The real mans life
must be Spirit, his faculties must be
spiritual. Furthermore, as the image
and likeness OF God. the real man
must be complete. happy, wholesome,
and healthy. lie cannot deny his par
entage nor bring dlscredit upon his
ancestry. He must be eternal and
in destructible now, the ideal man,
the son OF God.
But this conclusion, derived from
the Word of God. is found to be at
variance with the testimony of mater
ial sense. II does not agree with the
experience of mortal man from the
cradle to the grave, for the exper-
fence OF mortal man is one of sin,
sickness. and death, not of undimmcd
Joy and eternal life, Here is a dis
crepancy, and Christian Science pro-
vides the necessary explanation by
showing that mortal, material man,
the sport OF circumstance, the prey
OF dlscord and the victim of death,
is not the real man of Gods creation,
declared In the Bible to be the image
and likeness OF God
christian Science teaches that
mortal man is a false version of the
true man. a counterfeit attempting TO
resemble the true, but. nevertheless,
easily detected because of his unlike
ness to God. who is Spirit God is
not the author OF mortal, material
man. nor of mortal mans failures,
limitations. and losses, of his final
breakdown and his death sentence,
God is not responsible for evil In
any OF its forms, lie didnot create
IL. since Il could never lodge In His
thought for an instant, else tie were
Pot wholly good and the principles
governing the universe were not
wholly reliable,
Evil has no origin in spirit, no
