THANKSGIVING STORY.

A story illustrating the real Thanks
giving spirit was told here few
years ago by minister of one of
the churches, that expresses thank
fulness in its highest degree. The In
cident is said to have occurred in n
hut OF a mountain side one cold win
ter evening. The mother was nuttlng
her little boy Of five to bed. The wind
was whstling through tho cracks in
he house, and large fakes of snow
were falling over the mountain side.
The mother had undressed the little
boy and placed him in the bed, and
picked up several barrel slaves and
placed over the little form, as they
had not cover sufficient to keep him
warm. After the little boy had been
tucked" in as comfortably as poaai>
BILE, he pushed back one Of the planks
md said, "Mamma, don't you fool
sorry for people who havn't got any
planks."

SENTENCE CUT
DOWN BY JURY
Young Farmer Charged With
Disturbing Public Worship,
Has Fine Reduced by Court
Broke up Meeting by Shoot
ing Pistol.

Clint C. Farmer, young man about
twenty-five years of age, was tried in
court Wednesday on IL charge of dis
turling religious worship nj Pound
ing Mill last April. After the COM
mission of the crime, Farmer escaped
TO West Virginia and was not caught
until about two weeks ago. 1t ap-
peared from the evidence that sew
cral women had met at church to at
Tend prayer meeting and others were
when Farmer appeared in front of
tho door and fired his pistol five
times, which caused the women on the
outside to run in the building and the
cold shivers to pass over those on the
inside of the church. Worship was
commenced and during the singing Of
the first song, Farmer entered the
church with n pistol in one hand and
bottle in the other. He STAYED on
he inside minute or two and went
)ut, and then returned with his pis-
sol and bottle in his hands, to the
error of those rrcsent. In short
while he went out second time. and
S soon rs he went out several shots
were fired just outside tho door.
There was n short PRAYER of dis
missal and tho meeting was called
OFF. A warrant was issued for Far
ner the next day and put in the
lands Of Constable Boss Brown for
service. The constable caught Far
Ter on freight train two weeks
go and he was tried before Justices
the Peace j. b. Mutter and ]. H.
Upper, who sentenced him to serve
hree months in Jail and imposed n
nc against him Of thirty dollars,
'om which he appealed to the Cir
1T court AT the trial in court Far
er never testified and introduced no
idence in his behalf. The jury re-
iced the IMPRISONMENT from three
onths to ono month and reduced the
lie from thirty dollars to ten dollars.
is said that this reduction was made
" the jury to reward Farmer for not
hooting tho preacher and others en-
aged in the worship.
The statute provides that both fine
nd imprisonment shall be imposed in
ases of conviction for disturbing re-
gious worship, not exceeding six
.onths in Jail and 500 fine.
These disturbances of religious
orship in our country and village
