Edward Baxter Perry

=
On Wednesday evening at the
Normal Chapel Edward Baxter
Perry charmed a large and cul-
tured audience by the magic
beauty of his playing. A classi-
cal programme was rendered
doubly interesting by the lee
ture which preceded each num-
Der making it intelligible to all
and creating an interest which
never abated throughout the eve
ming.
Mr.. Perry's temperament is es-
sentially poetic and he has given
a prominent place to the ballad
in his music. Equally gifted as
a word painter, he deeply inn
pressed his hearers with the
strength and beauty of his theme.
His sympathetic rendering OF
Chopin, Schubert, and finally the
Wagner-Liszt Spinning Song,
proclaimed his greatness and
proved his right to the high place
he occupies among the eminent
artists of the twentieth century.

hoped that the interest shown

MARRIAGE AND MISERY
Interesting Discourse By DIR.
E. B. Barnes.

DR.. Barnes preached his ser
mon on Marriage and Misery at
the Christian church last Sunday
evening. He was greetedwith a
very large audience, composed of
the married, unmarried, the old
and the young. HeNwas listened
to with close attention through
out his very interesting dis
course.
DR.. Barnes pictured the side of
those who were unfortunately
mismated and discussed the
question as to whether or not a
divorce should be granted to mar
ried people on any grounds other
than those named in the scrip.
lures. He was emphatic in his
declaration that he believed
those who were mismated and
whose life under the married
yoke was not as full and complete
as it should be, and who found
nothing but misery resulting from
the union, should be granted re
lief by the civil courts, and lei
each try it over.
His next sermon will be deliv
cred on Marriage and Happiness
We are looking forward to {
beautiful presentation of the
happier and more pleasant side
of matrimony, and doubtless he
will be greeted with the same
throng that heard his last sermon
Probably he can picture it sc
beautifully as to give the Ian
gushing matrimonial market {
decided impetus.

Everybody In Church" Sun.
day

The second Sunday in Febru-
ary has been set apart as the time
when everybody in town will at
tend at least two services in some
of the churches. The movement
has met with great success all
over the country. In some places
the seating capacity was not ade-
quate to the crowds. We are
hoping that every family in Rich
mond will help to make this oc-
casion a notable one. Go to the
church of your choice and you
will be made welcome. For
those who have not been in the
habit of attending, this will be a
fine introduction to the pastors
and congregations of the city.
Everybody in church is the slo-
gan of the hour. Push the good
work along.

Postoffice Robbed at Crab
Orchard

A message received from Crab
Orchard states that the postofice
there was robbed Thursday night
of about $1,000 in money and
stamps. The safe was blown
open being practically wrecked,
and its entire contents taken.
Nitroglycerine was used on the
safe, but no one in town heard
the report, as twelve or fifteen
mail sacks had been wrapped
around the safe to deaden the
sound. These were scattered
about the room by the force of
the explosion.
1t is supposed that the robbers
escaped on the early train that
passes through that city.

Big Check

The L. &. N. Railroad Com
0any has rendered a check to
State Auditor Bosworth for $40
496 as the amount it considers
the tax on its franchise for 1913.
This is based on the assessment
made by Judge Cochran of $22,.
$4,000. The value placed on
the same by the board of valua.
ton is $45, ,658,630. This seems
to indicate that the railroad will
fight the state board assessment
and will rely on the assessment
fixed by Judge Cochran.
