Rev. =. r.. Vannatta preached a
most helpful sermon on Sunday morn
ing, November 10, his subject being
Happiness the result of performance
of known duty his text was found
in ST. John, 18th chapter: nth verse
IF We know these things happy are
We if We do them" His first thought
was that Christian knows 1t should
be their supreme object to have God
above everything else; second, a
Christian knows it is their duty to
love their neighbor as themselves;
third, every Christian knows it is
their duty to be lnrelenting against
evil; fourth, every Christian ought to
love all God loves and hate all that
God hates; fifth, every Christian ought
to have the salvation of souls on their
heart always Who will bring this
world to Christ if His followers do
not do their part? He exhorted Gods
children to more thorough conse-
Grafton to Himself

On Friday night, between midnight
and 5 o'clock a. M, thieves entered
the dwelling and general store of Mrs.
Il. Il. Locke, at Mt. Royal, by remov-
ing a large window pane in the par
lor and ransacked the house And store
taking from the desk $50 Mrs. Locke
had for the first time since having
charge of the store forgotten to re-
move to a more secure place, and also
took from the store shoes, cigars, to-
baccO and other articles, and left by
the back door, with out any of the
family hearing them. There does
not seem to he any clue to the thieves.
The residents of this community do
not feel safe in their homes at night
any longer and it is hoped something
can be done to find the guilty parties
and bring them to justice.

Jeffrey Batten, of Woodbury., 6
former resident of this vicinity, was
in town on Tuesday calling on old
friends and inspecting our new road
which is showing gratifying signs oil
completion, so far as the weather per-
mits.
1t seems great injustice to the
young people that attended the party
given Harry Lock on his birthday, on
Friday last, the night the robbery was
committed in the store, that even 3
thought of suspicion should fall on
any one of them in connection with
the robbery, as they were all well
known young people of our village
and community, and no one knowins
them could even have thought that
any of them could be connected with
any such work. 1t is hoped the crime
may be laid at it's right door and thai
very soon
