Morrisville Methodist Church Notes

A number of Iaboring men attended the
service in Morrisville Sunday morning.
The Pastor said in his sermon, that man
is the highest creature of Gods creation.
The world was made for man and man is
a worker with God in all the affairs Of
life. The labor movement is becoming a
world wide movement and men are
demanding shorter hours, better pay an d
more favorable conditions under which to
work. Mr.. Best said that it was unfair for
a handful of men, through interlocking
directories to control one third the
wealth of this country. Why should one
man receive an income of $4,000 day
while another receives but $1.75 day.
He advocated Government ownership of
all public utilities. The sermon was
closed with two illustrations representing
the positions that capital and labor must
eventually take. One illustration was
taken from Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter
and the other from Hugo's Les Misera bles.
Mr.. Best's sermon at Gilmore last Sun
day, was especially for the benefit of the
farmers and laboring classes. At the SER
vice next Sunday church directories will
be given out to all those who have not yet
received them. Many farmers are work
ing 10 hours day and only getting 35c on
the dollar of what they produce. If the
farmer could get 100 cents on the dollar,
he would only have to work five hours a
day to be as well off as he now is. IL he
wanted to work ten hours day he could
be twice as we'll off as he now is.
There was a large attendance at the
League service Sunday evening and the
meeting was ably led by Ray Smalley.
The Philathea class entertained the
Baracca class at a social in the church
parlors last evening.
At the Prayer meeting on Thursday
evening the Pastor will speak on Paul
Arrest and Defence.
The subject of the sermon for next Sum
day morning is, "Christs Cure for
Worry"
Rally Day will be observed by the Sun
day school Oct. LIST.

SHOOTING IN ELMORE
Daniel Pilbin Charged With
Attempt to Kill Hardwood
Flats School Teacher.

The neighborhood of Hardwood Flats
In the town of Gilmore, was throw n into
a state of excitement last Thursday
morning when word was circulated that
Miss Emily Vigeant, a popular teacher
for several years in the school in that
district. had been shot at by Daniel Pill
bin. with intent to kill The assure nee
that Miss Vigeant was unframed did
not lessen the indignation Of the neigh
borhood. the feeling against Pilbn Icing
intense in all quarters.
The trouble started Wednesday when
Miss Vigeant came to the Fair with
Allen Belvlle of Worcester. 1t is alleged
that Pilbin, also a neighbor and ad-
mirer of Miss Vigeant, became insanely
Jealous and came to the Fair looking for
trouble and threatening the life of Bel
vile. He was taken home in an auto by
two of his townsman, who thought the
trouble was over; but the next morning
at seven o'clock Pilbin went to the home
of the Vigeants. And it is said shot once
at Wilson Vigeant. a brother, with 49,
calibre revolver, and then went up the
stairs to Miss Vigeant's door. Her
brother yelled to her and she sprang
from her bed just as a bullet went
through the door and lodged in the bed
clothes. She struggled a moment, hold
ing the door and then turned to the win
dow and jumped out upon the veranda
roof. Meanwhile Pilbin is said to have
tnrned and shot down the stairway at
Vigeant, the bullet lodging in the wall.
Vigeant ran out of the house and
around to the veranda and with ladder
got his sister down. While he was out
of the house Pilbin left.
OFFICERS found Pilbin early in esday
asleep in bed with his boots on. They
found the house locked and got small
boy to climb through window and I'M
lock door. Pilbin was lodged in Jail at
Hyde Park and was given hearing Fri
day afternoon in States Attorney Maui
rice's office. The hearing was continued
until Monday and Pilbin was remanded
to jail, being unable to furnish the $4,000
bail.
At the adjourned hearing in Hyde
Park Monday States Attorney Maurice
examined a large numbes of witnesses
and sufficient evidence was found to
hold Pibin for at the December term of
court. his bonds remaining at $4,000
