Today. Sunday, is the day which was
set apart by our beloved President to
ask God to mediate in the great Euro
pean catastrophe. This was very pious-
~ observed by both our Sunday SCI ools
and in the regular sermon by our pas
tor. Sunday school was opened at the
regular hour by our superintendent.
After some few songs, the superinten.
dent made quite an appropriate talk.
Prof. j. E. Brandon gave a brief
sketch of the history Of Europe, ex-
pressing himself in vivid light as to
the war, its cause and effect, after
which the choir sang 81 Need Thee
Every Hour" DR.. W. B. Young then
read q prophecy written by Victor Hu.
go which was written more than fifty
years past, setting forth the prophecy
that after such a struggle as is now in
progress had occurred, that a day
would come when cannon would be
exhibited at our museums as an in
strument of ignorance and inhumani
ty; that through arbitration United
Europe would shake hands with Uni
ted America and call each other.
Brother, for, remember, UNITED
we stand; divided we fall" Just
think what great thing it will mean
to America to have such a principle
put into action by her stalwart states
men. After Sunday school all who so
desired we're excused, after which Bro.
Duncan took charge, making many ex-
plantations and comments upon the
war. Bro. Duncan has been with us
for four successive years, the allotted
time, showing his interest in the work
in this circuit. This being his last
sermon, it was very pathetic. / hard
ly think fearless eye remained. May
Gods richest blessings attend him,
and voice the sentiment of every
true Cliftiaa.
On last evening the good ladies of
our town and community. known as
the Rebcecas, gave very elaborate
supper at the Hall. 1t seemed to me
that most every well and sane person
in Clifty was there. l have never seen
q more delightful entertainment.
There were speeches by many of Cliff
tvs gifted orators. However, some
found quite difficulty in arising, as
they were too full for utterance. We
understand that there are to be more
to follow. which will not be offensive
in the least.
Quite sad thing occurred to our
friend and neighbor, Mr.. B. Dodson,
of Stringtown, some few days ago,
which was that of his wife's suicide.
It arose out of some domestic trouble
inevitable on the part of Mr.. Dodson.
Mrs. Dodson had become intimate
with Mr.. Durham, of DeRossette.
On being suspected by relatives and
partially caught by her husband Mrs.
Dodson confessed her guilt. After
some argument, Mr.. and Mrs. Dod-
son separated, Mrs. Dodson going to
neighbours house and Mr.. Dodson GO
ing to the home of his daughter to ar
range to have her tend his COW. On ar
irving home he found his wife lying
on the floor with hole through her
heart. This came as great shock to
Mr.. Dodson and many intimate friends
of the two.
Clifty is to have another street
working on next Wednesday.

ing friends. Miss Jones is a student
Of the Crossville High School.
Mr.. Slim O'Neal is permanently To-
Gated here.

Of measuring out beans and guessing

j. P. Smith is at church in String
town today. Mr.. Smith is very pune
tual to his duty. Numbers of other
people are doing equally as well.
The Holiness people are having their
usual street meetings conducted by
Bro. Eldridge and Sister Furg uson.
We wish to lay special stress on the
remarks made by Prof Archie Harris
