ported on the way from Clarksburg by

Furby's hearing this afternoon, Flora
Anglin, farmers daughter, declared
she was the victim of three criminal

The appearance of Miss Anglin's ia

set the mob wild with excitement.
| Prosecuting Attorney Swim made con-
tihued attempts to appeal to the peo-
pie from truck on the depot platform.

| The officials were wholly unable to
cope with the situation.
| At IT'S the mob burst open the door
of the express room, where the sller-

were broken and the mob demanded
the Negro. But the latter was pushed,

necessary to confine the Negro in the

mean death to him from suffocation, it
WAS considered great peril to release
him while the mob's frenzy was at such
a height.

of assault and attempt to murder The
Anglin girl took the stand herself after
all other witnesses and spectators had
been excluded from the court room and
told how Furby attacked her while she
was returning from the dairy on hel

spite her struggles he dragged her fully
900 yards and following the attacks he
was strangling her, she said, when a
railroad fagman came running to her
rescue. The Negro ran to a horse hid

Geese is a low, ~heavy-set bird COM
posed mostly of meat and feathers.
His head sits on one side and he sits
on the other. Geese can't sing much
on account of the dampness of the
moisture. There amt no between to
his toes and he carries a toy balloon
in his stomach to keep from sinking.
Geese has only two legs and they are
set SO far back on his running gear
that they come pretty near missing
his body. Some geese when they get
big are called gamblers and have curls
on their tails. Gamblers dom, have
to sit and hatch, but just loaf, 60

The Oldest Preacher.

We think the Versailles Westminis-
ter PRESBYTERIAN Church can claim the
oldest minister in the city, if not in
this section of the state. At Sunday
school recently, Bro. Liston, on be-
ing notified OF the custom Of giving a
penny for each birthday, on the Sum-
day nearest the birthday, handed to
the Secretary 100 pennies (S1.0O).
As we understand the problem every
scholar or teacher must give the ex-
act number of pennies they are years
old, no more, no less, or they are Ii
able to be placed in the Ananias
class. hence we put Bro. Listens age
at 100. While he looks quite old,
he don't look quite that old, now does
he?

In some ways the Arabs OF the

traveller writes: "The Sherrarat are
all very good shots, and their skill
in tracking is also very great, for
these nomads, like the red Indians

practice Of tracking to science.

life would be impossible in the des-

that camel talk is as interesting to
the Arab as the camel itself. j t is
his only means of information, and
by constant practice the true Bed
ouin can read the footprints like
book. They are science and gossip
to him. This art is called athar.
