Burglars one night last week
broke into the Glark's Hill depot,
also the stores of Messrs. j. P.
Nixon and 10. w. ,Sharpton. They
got small amount of. money and
postage>stamps ont of the depot, a
suit of clothes from Mr.. Sharpton
and a few small articles from, Mr..
Nixon. They broke off the knob Of
Mr.. Nixon's safe, trying to get5his
money which showed they were not
professional safe crackers" !" On
the same night, we understand,
stores were broken into at Troy and
Mccormick, 5. G.
Yesterday was a fine day, and a
fine congregation heard Rev. T. H.
Garrett's sermon on "The, Primacy
of the Gospel" The new organ,
which is a good one, with Misses
Sallie Parks, Annie Mcdonald,
Mrs. Virginia Stone assisting the
organist and chorister added much
to the delight of devout worship
pers. No community has finer talent
not only in music, but every thing
than Parksville, and we are delight
ed to see our young people thus
honor God with their talents, which
is natural outgrowth of consecra-
ton.
The Baptist ladies will have a
missionary quilting at the home of
Mrs. Garrett next Thursday. The
whole community will turn out

the meeting. a social one, as well as
one of service.
