Robberies in Lexington.

Lexington, Dec. 31.-A thief on
Friday night stole the large bay mare
of Warren A. Weed, who resides on
Depot street, and so far as has sue
ceeded in eluding his would-be cap
tors. The animal was locked in a
stable and the robber broke the lock.
The only trace that has been found
is the fact that someone passed the
Casparis Stone Company's plant,
about a mile below Lexington, at an
early hour Saturday morning. The
night watchman saw the person go
by on the horse, and he says the
man had a large bundle before him.
On the same night the depot was
entered also, the robber securing a
pair of pants, a package or two of
whiskey and a small amount OF
money. The door was broken open
with an axe, it is said. The suppo-
sition is that both crimes were COM
mitted by the same person and that
the robber was well acquainted with
the circumstances surrounding both
places.

Lever Plans New Cotton Statistics.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Represen-
tative Lever will in few days in
troduce a resolution in the house
recurring the director of the cen
sus to make periodical reports as
to the amount of cotton held by
spinners and dealers, and in ware
houses, etc., together with the num-
ber of spindles in operation. The
resolution contemplates, that these re-
ports shall be made on the same days
as the reports as to ginning, condi-
ton of the crop, acreage, etc., and
the object is to provide the cotton
growers with information as to the
supply on hand and the probable
consumption, so that they may gov
ern their operations accordingly.
These statistics, it is believed, will be
of as much value to the farmers as
the statistics now given as to gin
ming, acreage and condition, are val
liable to the manufacturers.
Mr.. Lever has talked the matter
over with the director of the census
and with number of the house
leaders and has secured their en-
dorsement of his plan, and it will
quite likely be put into effect.

SOME OLD TIME PREACHERS
In Pioneer Days in Missouri Every CT
vine Carried a Gun With Hini
to Church.

Nearly every pioneer preacher IN
Missouri was as expert in the use OF
the rife as any of the laymen says
writer in the Globe-D Democrat Serv-
ices were usually held in neigh
boris cabin. Notice of a meeting
was promptly and generally clrcu-
lated, and the settlers attended, rni-
formly bringing their rifles to guard
against possible surprises or TO OBJ
tain game on the way to or from the
service
The practice of carrying firearms
was not abandoned or suspended even
on the Sabbath. An old pioneer states
that on one occasion religious serv-
ices were held. in Saline county when.
the preacher proclaimed the gospel OF
peace with his hand and his clothing
| covered with blood from deer that
he had killed and butchered on his
way to the meeting that morning.
The pioneer preachers labored with
out money and without price. They
gained their subsistence as did their
neighbors, by the rifle and by their
daily toll in the clearings and the
corn fields
Rev. Justinian Williams. Methodist.
and Rev. Peyton Nowlin and Rev.
Thomas Kinney, Baptists. were the
| first preachers in Saline county. They
preached on Edmonson's Creek, and
| in the Big Bottom. "Old Man Now
| lin," as he was called, was a sedate
gentleman, dry as to manners and SER
mons, but with kind heart and good
-, intention.
His colleague, Kinney, however, was
of a jovial disposition and very pop
ular. He was without literary at
tainments, but invariably provoked his
congregation to laughter Nowlin
took him to task upon one occasion
for his levity. Kinney answered:
We'll, I'd rather preach to laughing
devils than to sleepy ones, as you do.
You make them sleep and / make
them laugh. My congregation will
pass yours on the road to heaven.
