Bell to be Purchased.

At the conclusion of the services
at the Methodist church last Sunday
morning, Rev. T. G. Herbert called
congregational meeting to take up
the matter of purchasing bell for
the church. There has never been a
bell placed in the tower of the new
church. and many of the congrega-
ton have never become accustomed
to doing without a bell. When Mr..
Herbert mentioned the matter it was
seen at once that it was a popular
one, and on motion the congregation
decided to buy a bell and also to ap-
point committee of ladies to take
the matter of raising funds in hand
MIR. Herbert has not appointed the
committee yet, but will do so this
week. In the meantime, members
of the congregation are already hand
ing him their contributions for this
purpose.

Mad Bull Terrier at Cope.

Cope, Jan. 6.-Quite an excite
ment was raised near this place Tues
day when it was learned that bull
terrier owned by James Cleckley was
mad and had bitten a number or
other dogs. The dog had killed sew
eral cats and chickens, literally tear
ing them to pieces. and had bitten a
number of hogs belonging to Mr..
Cleckley during Sunday and Monday.
Tuesday morning, as Mr.. Cleckley
was leaving home, he took the dog
in his arms, thinking he was only
angry and not really mad, and put
him into an clubhouse where he was
killed as soon as it was learned that
he had the rabies.
The animal, though fierce bull
terrier, was a pet of Mr.. Cleckley's l.
year-old baby and it was only by
chance that Mrs. Cleckley and the
baby were away from home at the
time or else the little boy might have
become the victim of his play fel-
lows dreadful malady.
