Last night at the Presbyterian Church
Rev. Edgar Carpenter preached the
fourth sermon in the series OF the week
of prayer. His theme was Missions, or,
better, "The Mission OF the Church"
which is to carry the good news t, every
people. He referred to the great lay
msa's missionary movement as the means
under G I'd OF telling the world the story
OF Jesus.
The Inspiration OF such men as VIII.

Heber shows Us the power OF mao
With mission, sent-men. God intends
that ell should feel themselves sent. Il
Ia not the preachers duty alone 10 tell
the Gospel, but the duty and privilege
OF every Christian.
Then the preacher referred to th'
braz n serpent lifted In the wilderness
that the Israelite bitten by the poisonous
ssrpsu.s might look upon 1t and live
So Christ was lifted up that every Sin
stricken saal raight look to him and live.
Tonight the concluding service vii
BE held at the Baptist Church. Rsv.
Mr.. Poisal will preach. The offering
for the Chiljrsn's Home will be repeated.

+ he Lawsuit

Hiley Warner and Mate Antcliff, of
Orleans, had a lawsuit Tuesday, in
which the jury disagreed and, unless
it is settled up between the parties il
will have TO be tried again.
Antcliff worked for Warner on the
farm during the summer, and when
they settled up Warner claimed that
Mate owed him $35, and Mate said it
was only $3.50, the difference being
on misunderstanding in regard TO
whether he was working by the month
or day. Warner claimed it was by
the month. Warner had sold Ant
cliff n horse during the time, but
claims the animal was TO be his prop
erty until paid for. Warner brought
suit in replevin for s35, the balance
due him on the horse being the amount
of his claim. Attorney Vert Davis
appeared for Warner and Fred l.,
Warner for Antcliff.

WALKER CONVICTED
The Priestman Murderer Received
Heavy Sentence

Ralph Walker, who shot and killed
VIM. Freshman in his home near Lake
Odessa, was convicted in the circuit
court Saturday. Walker was brought
into court at 80 i'm the afternoon for
sentence. After asking the respondent
to step forward, Judge Davis asked
him If there was anything further he
wished to say before sentence is pro-
nounced. Walker replied: "Don't
know as there is"
Judge Davis then told Walker of the
verdict as returned by the jurymen,
and that under il, "maximum" was
imprisonment for life. The Judge ex-
planned that he had talked with some
of the jurors, and had learned that they
didn't know that verdict of guilty of
murder in the second degree carried any
such penalty as a life sentence. He
also explained that under the law as il
is written, ii is not within the province
Of Judge to fix a specific term of years,
but that the sentence would be, 'im-
prisonment in the States prison at
Jackson for a term of IL yrs. 6 months
to 35 years, with the recommendation
of 25 years"

Z. M. Parney Will Raise Day
Old Chicks to Sell--Build-
ing Nearly Ready
IMPROVED METHODS
Capacity About 1000 Young Chicks
From Brooding Nests Will Hatch
$500 in February

The high price of eggs and chickens
which has obtained throughout the
world during the past year, has set
people TO figuring out that there is
money in fowls and eggs. +. M. Par
ney has been convinced for sometime
that a public hatchery in this city
would pay good money on the invest
ment, and he began laying plans last
summer for establishing one here.
He already has a building nearly
completed, 20x40 feet, two stories in
height which will be furnished with
the best up-to-day system of chicken
Matching and brooding. The capacity
of the plant is rated at 1000 young
chicks, that is To say seven thousand
eggs can be placed in the incubators at
one setting if necessary and in about
three weeks the customary time that it
takes a dilligent hen TO obtain results,
seven thousand chicks with twice that
number of "peeps" will appear and the
second day they are ready for the mar
ket, worth from ten cents To a shilling
apiece.
Mr.. Parney proposes to propagate
only high bred fowls and has already
arranged to take in lot of the best
kind of eggs TO hatch out. He says his
plant which will be known as the "Silk
City hatchery" will be like great
mill, you bring your eggs and get your
grist in chickens. This will relieve the
busy housewife of watching the old
'setting hen."
Mr.. Parney expects TO get the busi-
ness in shape 10 turn out $500 chicks
in February. He is already receiving
orders and can take more at any time.
