When John Roma, Cotton Belt engineer, started home yesterday morning about o'clock after bring ing his train safely intct the Pine Bluff yards, he went along just as he has been going for years-until ne reached the neighborhood of Fourth and Kentc!zy streets.
 There he was hailed by man with a pistol. who approached"him. MT Roma did not understand what the iran said, but started off. He was walking rather fast-.at first. The:1 hc found himself running, because a couple of leaden pellets had whizzed by, and he heard the sounds of two shots reverbrating around the neigh ,bcrhood. He gathered speed as he gained headway, his movements being accelerated by a third shot, at Sixth ard Flcrida. MT. Roma lives at Seventh and Kentucky, and reached home unharmed, but somewhat out Of breath.

and there shall no torment touch them.' ,4
 To expound his subtsct in such 8 n amer that 1t could be easily under stood, Archdeaccn Webber divided, it into several parts: {. First: The blessed dead are at nome. They are in place of home like protection.
 Second: They are in the closest fellowship of God. "The bosom friends of the Abrahamic friends of God"
 Third: To-day with Me in Para dise." A paradise that is ravishingly satisfied. Where the blessed dead come in contact with their loved ones who have departed before them selves.
 Fourth: "They are asleep in J.sus." By this is meant a sleep beyond the, ordinary meaning of rec reation. It is impossible for Chris tan to die. He gives up his spirf' but never dies. 'a5leep is the reas- s; rtion of your life power"
 Fifth: "Tie intimate personal fel- lawship with Christ" The day when sin and sorrow are forever over. ArchdeaCon Webber in the course of his sermon intsrspsrsed his re. marks with timely illustrations, and the. manner of his deliverance was most pleasing to all.
