not learned. But there were at least
two. The name Of Rev. E. E. Gillespie
Of Yorkville, was drawn from the tales
box at the preceding term of the
court. He was conducting protract-
ed meeting at the time, and went into
court and asked to be excused on that
ground. The Judge was very polite
about the matter and promptly excus-
ed him. Mr.. Gillespie did not know al
that time, that because he was an or
dained minister Of the gospel, his
name was one of these excepted from
being placed in the jury box, or that
he was legally exempt from service
He merely thought the Judge was
showing him a special courtesy. Hav-
ing read the law, however, he now
knows that his name had no business
in the box.
Wonderful Berry Plant.
The Himalaya berry, which seed
houses have been advertising so strong
ly during the past few years Is not q
fake like the "Wonderberry," which
disappointed so many people a few
years back. Mr.. A. NJ. Grist of York
vile, put out some Himalaya berry
cuttings in his garden a year ago last
fall, and they have now come into
bearing. The vines grow very rapidly
and now cover a space Of thirty feet
The fruit Is very similar to the black
berry and takes the place Of the black
berry in all its uses. 1t is far more
prolific, however. and the berries
which appear in thick clusters, are
more easily and more quickly gather
ed. Mr.. Grist has already gathered
more than a bushel Of berries from
his two vines and he expects to gath.
er several bushels more during the
present season. This berry is said tt
have been brought to the United
States from the Himalaya mountain!
less than dozen years ago, and II
only just now becoming distributed
over the country. Those who claim
thorough acquaintance with the Hima'
laya berry say that after the vine ha.
start Of two years in garden tht
owner thereof becomes independent o
the wild blackberry.

cusers are w. o. Harshaw, manager o.
