Laymen Talk.

The services at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday were little out of
the ordinary. 1t was the initial service
for the New Year and the pastor turn
ed matters over to his laymen. They
responded we'll and the program was.
an interesting one to the large congre-
cation present. Judge T. A. Murrell
discussed the financial situation, past
and present, making it apparent that
the membership should ''get busy" at
once. Capt. w. w. Bradshaw spoke
to the topic, ''Why this year should be
eur Church's best" The reasons were
ample and convincing as given in the
Captains enthusiastic style. Judge Ba-
ker followed in a carefully prepared
and thoughtful address on the theme,
eff were Pastor of this church. - To
this the pastor responded briefly on,
%If were Layman," giving an out
hhe of large program of activities.
Miss Gibbs, voice teacher, in the L. w.
School rendered impressively beauti-
full solo which added greately to the
service. Miss Alice Walker gracefully
presided at the organ. Two members
were received into the church. The
pastor announced that he would begin
special evangelistic services in the
church Jan. 23rd inst. He is not ex-
pecting ministerial aid during these
services. The work of the church be-
gins well for the New year and the out
hook is encouraging.

Mr.. G. w. Pickett, Magistrate elect,
from the Keltner and Midtown district,
failed to receive his commission in
time to qualify according to law and
therefore did not take the oath of office
as directed by law. When this fact be-
came known, last week, expressions of
regret were heard from every one mer-
tioning it, as the failure was in no part
due to the neglect or Indifference on
the part of Mr.. Pickett, but due to for
warding the commission to the wrong
post Office. After consulting an at
torney of this place Mr.. Pickett made
his mind to qualify and perform the
duties Of the Office to which he was
elected. We are not posted on the
legal part of such action but feel that
no wrong has been done the district, the
county or the state and that every
good citizen of this section will endorse
his qualifying and look forward for an
honest faithful service.

Death Of A. II. Marshall.

On Tuesday forenoon, January a.,
1910, there went out from Campbells-
vile the life of Mr.. A. H. Marshall, a
gentleman of high character, by birth
and rearing, man for whom every
body had the utmost confidence and re-
spect, man whose heart was full of
sympathy for his fellow man, one who
dearly loved the companion of his
bosom and his only child, a son-Rich-
ard, who is grown. When the life of
such man ends, sorrow enters every
home in the community where the de-
ceased resided. Such was the feeling
expressed in Campbellsville, when the
intelligence spread over the city, "Al
Marshall is dead"
The deceased was well-known in Co.
lumbia where he had many friends.
Every body in town knew him, as he
made frequent business trips to this
place, and he was always received with
that cordiality due a true Kentucky
gentleman.
The writer knew him for great
many years and can truthfully say that
only the good entered into his life, his
every action indicating that he would
be ready to meet his God when the
summons came.
The funeral services were held in the
Baptist church, Campbellsville, Thurs
day forenoon, many relatives and
friends being present. The deceased
was about SIS years old. Peace to his
memory; sympathy for those who have

CASE CONTINUED.

The case of the eleven car-old
white boy who, according to state
ment said to have been made to the
police, entered a King street store on
the night OF the 25th ultimo and stole
a small sum Of money and some
stamps, came up in the Police Court
this morning. The examination was
tedious from the fact that 1T was
difficult to get the youngster to talk.
He pretended to remember nothing
concerning his alleged statements.
Justice Cation finally turned the boy
over to his father with the under
standing that he would continue the
case under the express condition that
the. juvenile offender be sent out OF
the city for at least two years, and
that upon his return he would be sent
to the reform school. The father show
ed that he has made arrangements to
place him in school in another city.

OPENING OF THE NEW ARMOUR
BUILDING.

MANY ladies and gentlemen viaited
the new Armour & Co. building at the
corner Of Cameron and Henry streets to-
day. They we're met by Mr.. W. G.
Davis, the popular manager for the
Armour Company in Alexandria and a
crops OF gcntlemanly assistants who
conducted the visitors through the
building. The assistants we're in
uniform-white coats and caps. The
modus operandi Of picking and smok'
ing meats, boiling hams, ETC., was ex-
planned to the visitors. There was an
immense display of products mostly
hams and canned meats. To use a
word often seen in an advertisement in
the Gazette, all was simply irresistible
and calculated to give an appetite to
those who inspected the profuse display.
Everything was scrupously clean, and
will be kept SO; hence when govern
ment inspectors Unexpectedly put in an
appearance there will be no confusion
among those employed in eny part o.
the building. The new structure viii
be illuminated by electricity tonight al
which time many visitors are expected
Useful souvenirs were distributed al
times during the day.

BELIEVED MURDER WAS COMMIT
TED

Some persons in Alexandria county
still believe William Fl. Through, the
Baltimoreau, was murdered and his
BODY hauled from the scene OF the
tragedy to the place near Fort Niger
where it was found last Tuesday morn
ing. They are inclined to believe that
the young man was slain by robbers
or by some one whose motive has not
been ascertained.
A few hours before the body was
discovered, n wagon, it is said, passed
down the lonely road leading to the
woods near Fort Niger. 1t was more
than half an hour before the wagon
emerged from the woods and returned
70 the main road. One theory is that
Young Through was murdered nearby,
possible in one of the 'speak-easies
said to exist near the fort-and that
the body was placed in the wagon and
taken to the lonely spot. 1t is not I'M
likely that the wagon came from the
direction OF Washington, nor is ii
improbable that the man was muir
OGr6O III LIl6 NtCihsLy VI WV WV
Although the victim has been identl
fed as a Baltimorian, Mrs. J. B.
Lobwaser, of Lynchhurg. declares the
youth who was found murdered near
the signal corps station at Fort Mycr,
on the night OF September IS, is none
other than her son, Herbert. The
woman, who bemoans her son as dead,
thinks the identification of the body
may throw some light upon the muir,
der, and she has communicated with
the authorities OF Alexandria county.
Herbert Loubasser, aged eighteen, a
bookbinder, working in Baltimore, has
certainly disappeared, and the marks Of
Identification sent out conform strictly
to this youth. The boy, regular with
his letters to his mother, has not written
home since September ., and every
effort to locate him in Baltimore has
failed.

SERVICES CLOSED.

The open-air services which the MIN
isterial Association 81 this city have
been conducting during the summer at
the corner Of Patrick and Gibbon streets
closed last Saturday night. Large and
attentive audiences heard the gospel
preached each evening. Many VINO
never enter the churches by reason OF
indifference and others who are kept
from Gods house by providcntial him
derances, attended these meetings and
manifested deep interest. While there
were only q few who made open pro-
fession OF faith, those who had charge
OF the work believe that many were
helped and are much gratified at the
success which crowned their efforts.
This mission was made possible only
through the cooperation Of Mr.. P. L.
Harrington. When the plans OF the
association were laid before him he
gave them his hearty Endorsement and
offered the use OF a large wagon and
team, FREQ OF charge. There were no
funds in hand for the prosecution OF

carried on but for this splendid assist
ance.
At regular meeting of the Minis
terial Association the following resolu-
tians we're unanimously adopted.
Resolved, that we express to Mr.. P.
T. Harrington our grateful apprecla-
ton of his generosity in furnishing a
gospel wagon for the use of this aSso-
citation during the past summer. We
believe that seed was sown which will
produce an abundant harvest, that i'm
pressions we're made which will tell
not only in time but AIS" in eternity.
and it is our profound conviction that
in all this. he who made it possible by
graciously supplying the wagon. has
large part.
Resolved that we greatly appreciate
the kindness of the W. G. I. U. in
granting us the use OF their organ for
this outdoor campaign.
