to placing ties on the railroad
track a few weeks ago with the in
tention of wrecking a train, and
was sentenced to FIVE years in the
penitentiary. John Freeman, the
Milan man who was arrested in

condition and armed with a razor,
was tried for carrying a deadly
weapon and acquitted, although he
admitted carrying the weapon.
Charley Holiday, colored. arrested
here while engaged in crap game
and found to be armed witha revol-
yer, was also tried and acquitted,
although he admitted carrying the

evidently do not believe in enforc-
ing the anti-gun- toting law.

Poverty is great curse, despite all

Early Probationary.

In the Epistle of James we find the
early Christian rule of psychotherapy.
1t was adopted by the early church
and for many centuries was rule of
faith and practice In the Christian
church in all Its branches. 1t is still
a rule of conduct in some Of the older
churches. and some leaders In church
es where the rule has lapsed begin to
plead for its revival and for the as
sumption by the church of what are
called its legitimate powers. st. James
said: lis any sick among you, let him
call for the elders of the church, and
let them pray over him. amounting him
with oil In the name of the Lord. And
the prayer Of faith shall save the sick,
and the Lord shall raise him up. and
II he have committed sins they shall
be forgiven him."-Christian Register.
